US masked singer is hard going to get through. Too many performers, groups, judges and just drawn out. Feels like it has been going for months and there are still 8 remaining.
I really hope the Aussie series stays as it is, and doesn’t look to the US for ideas about changes to the format.
Isn’t there any other vehicles we can see inside instead of the Queen Mary all the time?
Seven has a whole series “Mighty Ships” but seem fixated on QM2.
Goliath said something during yesterdays episode of The Chase Australia. He said and I quote “I thought you did well in that cash builder, there were some tough questions, and I thought you might have actually needed the help of a mental health professional but there’s never one around when you need one, huh”. I know he’s one of the good guys but I felt it was said in poor taste.
I found post Covid Bull, with the mask wearing and all totally unwatchable. I deleted it pretty early on.
Bull lived up to its title. Absolutely stupid. Bailed out half-way. Hopefully next week’s ep may be less nonsensical.
>> and Bull (141,000) <<
A serious case of the Ally McBeal's last night – I hope normal programming resumes forthwith.
Origin night, 7 & 10 always lay low.
I’m not talking about the numbers.
