  1. Now that tag has failed maybe the septic channel will get hopscotch or brandy or some other primary school game the brain dead audience will lap up anything

  2. Is there something with Nine’s lineup I’m just not getting?
    Why does their crap always rate so high? Or are Aussie free to air viewers just that dumb?

  3. So disappointing to see Nine rewarded for what was nothing more than a shameless grab at a piece of 10’s pie. Even its title was a brash and embarrassing attempt at cashing in on Netflix’s success with The Crown. Gross.

    1. Goodluck to them. If they can shamelessly create a show from nothing that makes the top 10 well that says more about their audience than the network.

  4. Nice work Nine on that last minute special news bulletin. It would have gotten more viewers if it was scheduled a few days ago. Nine’s momentum is strong due to MAFS.

    While Seven’s Tag show is a disaster.

  5. The amazing race is such a good show, and awesome to see the incredible country we live in showcased. Very disappointing the number of viewers giving this a chance. I do acknowledge that the number of non-elimination rounds is a bit off putting.

  6. Instead of Ultimate Tag why cant Seven bring back Gladiators? Ultimate Tag seems similar to that. How many of us would watch that now, im sure alot would.

  7. Well Ultimate Dag just crept in but 3 x 90 plus minute shows next week ,do we know how many episodes there are in this series please David ☺️

  8. I watched the first 25minutes of the crown in crisis on nine and it was dreadful, felt amateurish at best had to turn it off wasn’t a vibe at all just an obvious last minute ratings grab

  9. Tremendously satisfying to see 10’s cunning plan backfired on them. Ironically, it wouldn’t surprise me if 10 made more ad revenue from the flop of a replay than the shockingly successful premiere.

    1. What was “cunning”? 10’s repeat didn’t start until after 9:30. Nine’s ‘Today at Night’ used much of the interview. Paid or just lifted?

    1. Totally agreed. Seven simply can’t have their striped show rating less than 300k against regularly scheduled programming. You could put Mondays figure down to the 10 special, but there are no excuses for last night.
