Survivor was great last night. Honestly I’ve never seen a group of people stuff something up so badly. It was comical
Shaun actually made a statement on Instagram explaining that as usual we viewers didn’t see what really was said before the vote. Simon actually told him that they were voting for Shaun and Nina but that was edited out. He has been copping a lot of flak over not saving Sam.
Oops! Shonee made that comment!
Hmmm Seven landed just above ABC. Brilliant strategy to recycle offcast shows. not.
Sunday Project got a 5% lift, perhaps thanks to the free publicity by the Catholic church and news.com.au
I’m livid. I watched expecting “hate speech and bigotry, lewd joke(s) and putrid”. Nothing. Fr. Lee do you moonlight as a 7, 9 or 10 promo maker during the week? Anyway, I hear 10 is sending over a case of communal wine as thanks for the publicity.
Last nights tribal council was brilliant on durvivor last night…Simon gets the goos of the year award😉
Surely that award would go to Shaun and Nina for both playing their idols incorrectly.
Agree. Very poor playing. As Sam said – played themselves into minority!
