Can they do a crossover episode with the darts league? Can it be the first episode?
You never know – I remember Masterchef being called Masterflop by a number of people before its launch in 2009 – “Who would want to watch people cooking?” Although I will admit I look forward to the what the story titles will be and the play on words if Blow Up does fail and gets bumped etc!
I remember being in the room at Upfronts when 10 announced a primetime cooking show. Everybody thought David Mott had lost his marbles, but he proved them wrong.
I give it two weeks before it’s bumped from the schedule. The only thing going for it is it’s not against MAFS.
Why does this feel like it could become Seven’s next Celebrity Splash? POP!
Ha I was just thinking when I read those contestant ages… what other reality show would have no-one under 30?
Thats look so terrible and cringe.
This feels like a Netflix show more than FTA primetime, but I could be wrong. I’ve never heard of Becky Lucas until reading this post, good to see some different hosts on a 7 show.
On paper this sounds like a lot of hot air! But so did Gogglebox when I first heard about it. Now one of my favourite shows!
Stephen Curry will be the reason to watch this. His ad lib and comic timing skills are flawless. 10 points to the future TV exec who gives him a live late night chat/variety show to sink his teeth into!
Is this why they are dragging out FWAF until 22nd.
That’s meant to be a W for Wife 😂.
lol… Farmer Wants A F…
Typo of the year! Hahahahah.
Sadly if it was on Netflix though… one thinks it would be called FWAF…
Hahaha best laugh I’ve had today, classic.
If Lego Masters is already suffering from viewer fatigue after 4 or so seasons then I don’t expect this to do any better. Stephen Curry may grab some viewers but Becky Lucas is just so unfunny. I think this one will be a bust
David is it once a week or multiple nights?
Looks to be Mondays and Tuesdays.
