Worse ratings than last year is good news.
I still do not get why anyone watches this poor substitute for entertainment.
Errr…Which one?
Yuck. I watched the finale of Your Honor on Stan instead.
I don’t think Today is ever going to catch Sunrise. I know Sam and Kochie both have Fridays off but noticed Sam has also had the last two Mondays off also. She may be on a three day week now or just had other things to do? Nat definitely isn’t losing any viewers for them.
People watch this ? I’m a gay female and don’t find any of those so called brides attractive ! Too overdone with makeup and lip fillers . Gross.
Saw bits while waiting for commercial breaks to end on 10. Run Jake, run.
Is it me or was MAFS boring last night? The acting was very Neighbours in the 90’s
Maybe if Bouncer made a cameo I wouldn’t have switched off..
Holey Moley started ok and then quickly sputtered. Wonder if 7 will bother with it in 2022.
I usually love MAFS but i struggled to get into it last night more of the same old same old. And nearly 2 hr ep i turned it off at 9.
The finale of Holey Moley was fantastic TV last night. Amazing end and a really deserving winner.
That’s an alarmingly high drop off from Seven News to Home and Away
H&A’s ratings aren’t abysmal but given the cost of making it, how long will 7 keep persisting airing it at 7pm on it’s main channel if it’s not helping its 7:30pm show I wonder?
That’s the most depressing news since the plague started
Cheer up middledog 🐶,only 41 episodes to go.
Only 8 weeks then, or 2 months. The lower figures sound better than 41 😊
Just shows to go that there are a lot of us MAFS aficionados out there hankering for all the marriages to self combust in ensuing weeks.
