  1. Ten need to move or push Instinct away from Survivor because going from 751k to 253k clearly shows survivor fans are not interested in Instinct so time to try something else after Survivor on Sunday nights, i would think even Rove’s new show after would do better than Instinct

  2. AGT will never be a winner unless they introduce Live Semi Finals preferably over a week (Mon-Thurs) with the live final on the next Sunday. Seven could have easily done this this year with the break in AFL between the season & finals.
    This would result in a shorter sharper season like the Voice.
    This is the model that has been in the UK except their final is a Saturday night.

    1. AGT semifinals and grand final have never been live here, yet we’re still very successful in earlier seasons. It would be virtually impossible to set up some of the staging for the next act during a commercial break.

        1. While I agree about the over a week schedule and live final on a Sunday, The UK version rates about 10 times more at around 10-14 million average and people actually still watch TV in the UK on a Saturday night so from a cost perspective it probably has a better pay back?
