    1. With respect they don’t have to think whether it will be popular overseas. They only have to look to the data and metrics from S1. Netflix doesn’t care about Aus broadcast ratings. Streaming services allow for niche shows to find global audiences. They have a show about blowing glass.

  5. Enjoyed TARA last night seeing the Instagram account holders leaving at the end!! I was disappointed in the speed bump being that both of them had to perform the jump rather than working together on a separate task.

    1. I think many were pleased at that result. Especially given the night before’s non-elimination leg. I am extra happy that the only reason they were eliminated last night was because they broke the rule about speeding. Just shows them that you can break all the rules you want, doesn’t mean there aren’t consequences though.

    2. Good news that it has been renewed but it really needs tweaking in the next season. There are many important small details that have been omitted, and the season hasn’t been as good as it could be. Hopefully more sponsors next year will mean more money to improve.
