Hot Seat has been trailing behind the Chase for years now and Nine News ratings have been suffering too as result. Not sure if its replacement will make up those numbers any time soon.
Actually, Hot Seat was on par with The Chase Australia ratings and then the latter rose again with the smarts of one Larry Emdur. To Hot Seat’s defence, it’s been on air since 2009 in a reimagined way. If the ratings for Tipping Point UK are anything to go by, a local version might excite audiences from all sides, just not me.
Also an earlier slot in Adelaide and Perth.
That ‘reimagined’ way has seen the show with less questions and lot more fill in time with chit chat about contestants, so it doesn’t surprise me more viewers are flicking over to the Chase. The Chase was out rating Hot Seat even before the new host came in.
That’s not how I remember it. The Chase obliterated Hot Seat from 2015-2018, then Hot Seat extended to a one hour edition to take them on. It was still behind, but not by much. Deal or No Deal killed it from 2003 until early 2009. Hot Seat premiered and wiped Deal or No Deal. A lot of backstories is one factor for Hot Seat’s demise, but so is its lifespan. David, I don’t know if you’ve heard but there’s a rumour that Deal or No Deal is set to make a comeback but not on Seven. Did you hear about this?
And 506viewer, I love The Chase. It’s one game show I am interested in applying for. I consider The Chase one of the most compelling game shows in many moons.
Hmmm….apply already, it’s not beyond anyone really. The show is a slow format with a negative tone (“Put down” humour) in which the object is to make sure the bank wins and contestants lose. Dumb. Better to reward knowledge and see hero’s than pay fat cats and dramatise mediocrity.
