  1. 7 needs to make more of a effort Sun-Wed if they want to compete with 9. Adele repeat last night. How many times has that been shown in the last year?

    1. What do you suggest Seven put in its place? If they had something to rival MAFS they would have shown it. They tried Holey Moley and Ultimate Tag last year, Aus Idol this year, but viewers have spoken.

        1. Winter Olympics lost its appeal compared to Pyeongchang, which was surprising given equally good tiem zone, blame Tokyo Olympcis delay and fatigue perhaps, could also explain Birmingham Comm Games’ also well down numbers even if poor time zone and no Gold Coast + that OzTAM stuff-up. SAS shouldn’t have gone against Married, I’d enjoyed the prior two but gave up half way through this, hopefully rebounds this year and Voice spin-off was a success, should’ve replicated and expanded that. Why oh why bring back Idol!?

      1. Temptation Island remake maybe. Or new format like The Floor quiz show event to get oldies/Hot Wheels ultimate challenge to get male viewers who aren’t watching MAFS
