All this fuss about an afternoon tea-time game show. According to one TV guide every ep of the UK version is a repeat this week. Anyone would think that the program is the highest rating entertainment show of the day!
To be fair this week is non-ratings week.
No surprise Tipping Point is taking a few early victories but I think the nature of boths shows means even if they lose a few battles The Chase will ultimately win the war, as long as Seven don’t hit the panic button.
Hahaha- They are already panicking, brining in 2 new Chasers and also the dodgy Double Trouble that is yet to win a metro, terrible idea.
Lol. Considering we’ve been getting mostly repeats of the Chase, especially on Wednesday when we got a repeat of the episode Lightning Bolt as the Chaser. It aired literally last week!!
Unless I have early onset Alzheimers in my 30s, that wasn’t a repeat. Seven plays new eps Mon-Wed. They have perhaps been playing a disproportionately high number of “Lightning Bolt” episodes since his debut, but I’m sure I would have recognised the contestants and questions if it had been (and I wouldn’t have bothered watching the episode had it been a repeat either).
No doubt Seven will start airing new episodes on these nights if Tipping Point keeps up the ratings pressure…watch this space.
hmmm…I think you haven’t worked in TV. These eps were shot months if not years in advance, also they have already accounted for the amount required. The Chase will continue Thurs and Friday repeats during ratings, not only because they do well…..but it saves a sheetload of $$$>
Wow – The Chase is about to start repeating most nights of the week, will be an insult if they continue to pull back against the Tipping Point juggernaut. hehehe.
Strange that The Chase would win on a Thursday when Seven airs repeats on Thursdays and Fridays. I stopped watching on those nights as I’d grown a little fed up watching the same contestants/questions from only a couple of months or so ago. I also think it’s mighty stingy of Seven to be airing repeats during the year (especially for a show that doesn’t even give away money a lot of the time), while Tipping Point and Deal or No Deal play new episodes throughout the week.
But when repeats occasionally outrate the competition, who can blame them?
