  1. Well deserved, its a fun show. Ouch, Masterchef is not doing well so far, simply too much competition or maybe episodes too long? (The Voices also stretching out to 1 1/2 hours sometimes too though) .I’ve never been a massive MC fan, in fact I’ve probably rarely watched a full episode since around season 3 so maybe fans can tell me what’s going wrong this time around? I thought Julie’s return would be a massive draw card for sure.

    1. Nothing is going wrong except viewers are brainwashed to believe that anything on 7 and 9 are gold which they certainly aren’t and the brain dead watching things like MAFS get to know what’s coming up on these channels whether good or bad. People mainly are sheep.

  2. Cheap Seats just keeps getting better. Hosts are great, guests don’t try and take over and the clips hilarious.
    Kudos to 10 for giving it time to settle. Much like thru did on HYBPA. Great to see it win in the ratings.

  3. I watched the cheap seats last night after watching MasterChef & laughed. it just flows so well and Tim & Melanie work really well together.

    In fact I enjoyed it so much I totally forgot the good doctor was on.

  4. IMHO, The Cheap Seats was the best new variety/comedy show of 2021 and I hope that it continues for a long time to come. I dip my lid, to the shows researchers, who are, in many ways the unsung heroes of the show.

  5. I watched The Cheap Seats by default after Masterchef…but I enjoyed it….A lot of the reactions on Masterchef this season, feel somewhat contrived…a bit trying too hard…or is that just cynical old me?

  7. Piers Morgan Uncensored topped the subscription ratings. Will be interested to see if it holds up. First ep was just him grandstanding and Donald Trump waffling on.

    1. Yes the structure was very odd… lots of teasing and analysis of an interview ahead of then playing half of it. I think it will need more variation and some local relevance to maintain numbers long term.
