  1. Any word on how long the season will go for? If they are going to wrap this by Easter’s ratings break, that’s only 8 weeks and feels far too short. Every season in the original run went for a minimum of 3.5 months.
    Hoping this is given the full royal treatment and they persevere even if MAFS ratings dominate.

  2. Is there any word on an actual date yet? I could understand “Janaury” as being the 30th or 31st (last Monday and Tuesday of the month – after the Aus Open Men’s Final – also doubt they’d our it on that Sunday night – which they did with MKR a couple of years back and failed with even Colin Fassnidge calling that move out).

    But any date before, that’s suicide surely, up against the might of the Aussie Open.

    Unless they were to go super early with like Jan 1 after the last cricket NY Test (which they air)? And against 10’s Bachelors?

  3. So I guess this is what seven is putting up against the juggernaut that is MAFS. Assuming so, it make sense. It is timely TV (ie most would rather watch live rather than stream later so to avoid spoilers…..but the same can be said for MAFS). Should make for a very interesting Q1.
