I was on 10 all night….
10 did well on the Bachelor. A new Bachelor is probably all ten needed to freshen up the Aus franchise. Hope they continue to use this lead well.
H&A seems to be going through a ratings renaissance.
I think it’s more a case, the other 7pm shows have dropped and HAA is maintaining its audience. It’s still dropping 300k from News.
The Celebrity Chase is coming to 7. Saw a promo which included David Koch. Can’t wait for this.
I was surprised that 7 and 9 both showed movies! What is 7flix for then?
Old movies, perhaps?
I am wondering how Bold ratings are going ?? because the beth baby storyline has gone on way way to long it needs to end soon or as a loyal viewer I will switch off
how many times can Hope say she lost her child when all the viewers know she has not
Oh god is that still going? I turned off weeks ago when I realised it wasn’t ending anytime soon…
They must have nose-dived (if US ratings are anything to go by).
I watched the bachelor but don’t put me in that basket , I do not like him at all . Very plain
The Bachelor scores well for Ten. Enjoyed the ep, Matt very engaging, and some of the crazy girls will make it interesting. Ten does trash TV so well!
Home & Away wins the 7pm timeslot. That must be the first time in quite awhile?
