Watched The Bachelorette…TV was still on when that movie came on…what was that?
I watched Home Delivery this afternoon on iview….Di Smith/back up singer…wonder who the other lady was…and the band…do they do regular gigs?
Watched the first episode of The Bachelorette and I could feel the intelligence drain out of me. If the guys are a section of Australia’s maledom we are doomed.
Yep they make the Love Orland blokes look like Rhodes scholars.
Who watched Home Delivery last night? Who knew he could sing like that? Costa for Masked Singer next year dressed as a bee.
Love Island hurting Nine’s share
Love Orrland. Ouch!
Bride and Prejudice. Ouchier!
Pity about those figures for The Looming Tower – it’s some of the best high-end TV I’ve seen in a long time.
Intelligence can be a curse…
I agree. A shame that the figures are low. One of the finest series I have watched this year.
Probably because it’s been streaming on Amazon Prime for quite some time and is also available on SBS On Demand, so anyone who wants to watch it has probably already done so.
So does love island move to 9GO next week??
I wonder how long it will be until LI is bumped to 9Go?It surely can’t remain on the primary channel with those figures 5 times a week.
Not as bad as Seven keeping B&P in the 7:30 slot at 17th place, not in any demo’s, and zero social media buzz.
It is awful, from the snippets I’ve seen
