Might have to re-read Ch7 upfronts again ?
“Australia! Strap in for the biggest Australian cheating scandal ever…in Australian TV history”
Odds on that promo line has been tossed around 7 today
Love Island is a BVOD beast. Shows how relevant the 7 day numbers have now become.
Sorry, I cannot stand SAS. Someone screaming in someone’s face is not entertaining for me.
I agree, the adverts show enough and in the age of an awareness about workplace bullying the ‘training’ for SAS whether for celebrities or contestants seems abusive.
I realise I have no awareness of the actual training and realise they would need to deal with confronting scenarios, but it doesn’t show case ‘respectful entertainment’ that I would enjoy.
agree, this show is like ‘the Biggest Loser’ for skinny people….
Yes, I agree. I watched just a few minutes of this show and found the bullying and shouting just too much to handle. I had to switch it off. I consider this a nasty show that is neither entertaining nor informative.
I guess 7 is going to take a leaf out of 9 and have the sas “contestants” turn on each other, cheating scandals and secret trysts behind the dunny block.
I said 520K for SAS my lady friend said 400K looks like I’m shouting on the maccas run ,soon it’ll be SOS for 7.
Was it just me, or did SAS seem a bit off last night? Not as good as previous episodes – it wasn’t the lack celebrities
Could be the condensed format. I believe its 4 episodes total.
Perhaps people are just over SAS and seeing people go through hell 🤷🏻♂️ I honestly can’t watch it anymore. I want more feel good television like HYBPA not this.
Thought SAS was finished.7 need to explain what’s going on now.
There were ads shown during the final week of the celebrity SAS advising Hell Week was coming
Gunna be Hell Week for 7 with those numbers.
Should have done a Fans vs Faves lol
