  1. I’m beginning to lose interest in Hunted as it’s unclear if the variables are accurate, even though it’s replicated to match real life scenarios. It isn’t made clear in the broadcast and possibly needs more narration and voiceovers for explanations of variables. Accuracy is really important for me and why I preferred shows like The Bill over CSI that had fake crime fighting technologies that led to unrealistic expectations in dealing with crime. Hunted is real to an extent, but the very detailed and specific variables are an issue for me. Entertaining nonetheless. It’s not for the thinking persons though.

    BGT is great. It’s really inspirational and the talent is so good that it brings tears and pride. Great show and perfect for primetime. It should be on a consistent timeslot. It was on Wednesday night I think last week, but not the same this week.

  2. Did 10 lose the rights to the “One Way or Another” cover? Noticed they’ve been playing, what appears to be generic placeholder music over some ads for Hunted now.

    1. Sometimes they pay for a certain period, there used to be requests of me to post YouTube promos for a certain time frame. I always threw the ball back and pointed out ‘Umm the clip is on your YT channel, not mine.’

  3. Good on 10. Nice to see them Hunted doing well and we all know HYBPA always pulls an audience. I think it shows when 10 have decent content people are willing to watch. They just need to do it all year long lol…Seven is basically putting up the white flag this week until the Comm Games begin. I wonder if they’re worried about their local Got Talent series though. I know BGT aired a little while ago but it might be concerning considering the American version also didn’t fire either.
    Mind you David does this week even count as an official ratings week since the Olympics are considered non-ratings periods, is the Comm Games the same? If you ask me, they should just count because we get event tv all the time anyway.

    1. Technically, non ratings only applies to specific calendar weeks for Summer + Easter. However advertisers will generally remove non-annual events which spike the figures, because they base rates on annual performances.
