  2. Heaven knows how those programming “experts ” at TEN can still talk the talk and spin the BS to their CBS overlords about how good they are. Surely their lines must be getting about as thin as Masterchef’s ratings…

  3. 10 really can’t look to MasterChef as their heavy hitter any more. It’s been 13 years (!) including celebrity, professionals and junior versions. The public has been saturated with it and it’s freshness and appeal is no longer there. We know what to expect each season. Don’t get me wrong, it used to be appointment viewing fir me, but that ended many years ago. 10 can’t possibly imagine viewers to remain loyal year after year. Viewership will naturally dwindle.

    10 need a hit. Desperately.

  4. Fairly narrow win for The Voice over Travel Guides but the former still looking like a pretty solid pick-up by Seven from Nine and skillfully tweaked with good judging panel and (sensibly) a shorter-run. Unlike MasterChef where it may be slightly a case of nearly all-formats eventually peak and then start to decline (even after stellar runs over many years) but also, you can flog the life out of a show (MKR being another, similar example that springs to mind, and interestingly, going to be re-booted soon by Seven.)
