    2. Actually, I find it weird. Cast member Christine (Christina?) is very amusing with clever one-liners, and I miss the live laughter for her. The banter between the cast falls flat without audience response.

      1. I agree I think it’s great with an audience but like every audience show we won’t see or hear that for some time and it’s very sad. The most fun you can have is going to a live taping of a show. Especially Have you been paying Attention you have so much fun with them there.

  2. Bachelorette ratings might be an indication viewers aren’t up for trashy reality in the COVID era. Might be bad news for MAFS next year which will be up against high quality opposition.

  3. I like the Good Fight when they just focus on cases and not going on about Trump, elections or running for president. also a random question whatever happened to the father of Lucca’s son and where is the son? You never see him.

  4. Probably not, next week it’s a two hour episode starting at 9pm on 24, oddly with a delayed simulcast on the main channel starting 40 minutes later, despite the main channel being a simulcast of 24 all day up to the 7pm news.

    2. Ooh that will be interesting ,it’s bloody wall to wall coverage next Wednesday on so many channels , even the QLD election only gets local up here and ABC NEWS on Saturday.

  5. Was a bit confused by RR. Couldn’t tell if it was meant to be an informative analytical show, or just a light hearted look at outrage culture. I actually found the interviews interesting but the overall jovial tone of the show was a bit off-putting. Compared to Gruen which does a good job balancing the serious discussion and the jokes, RR kind of felt like a skit from The Checkout that was dragged out for a half hour.

    1. I think it’s unlikely to win. PA is a two hour episode starting at 9:40pm. Not many people will be watching the whole episode. The winner next Wednesday will definitely be the first Origin game (at least in Syndey and Brisbane).
