Always loved watching The Chase Australia and will continue to watch it With Larry Emdur at 5pm
On the Chase According to The Governess Aussies don’t usually go for the higher offer which makes the show a bit boring. Maybe they should up the amount that can be offered to the contestants.
Although Tipping Point has been a success for nine, no discernible change to news ratings. On occasion nine has got close and even bettered seven news but in the main, lead has remained 150-250k each night. Who knew – people can use a tv remote.
It took Seven News a while to regain national ground well after The Chase had launched
Early days still
The competition is tight between Tipping Point and The Chase. Though I agree about The Chase becoming stale. Could a Beat The Chasers Australia spin-off refresh the show?
It could also be the quality of contestants. The other thing is that Tipping Point seems to be less intellectual with the disc drops. The best episodes of The Chase are when the contestants have a real chance of competing with the chasers. The difficulty level and concept of Pointless is also too complicated for many, though it does have an audience.
The 1% Club is doing well. So maybe a new game show that captures the attention and imagination is needed in the afternoon and early evening mix.
With game shows doing so well, it would make sense for networks to invest in making new game shows that resonate. There’s also a market for a game show multichannel, as game show channels overseas, like Challenge and Game Show Network rate well.
“difficulty level and concept of Pointless is also too complicated for many”
Seriously?
It’s Family Feud in reverse.
A typical Pointless question may be be something like Films directed by Steven Spielberg that did not receive any Academy Award nominations, or Bands from Manchester that had a top ten hit in 1998. Where as a typical Family Fued question is something like Name something you might find in a fridge. There is a discernable difference and difficulty level.
Started off not liking the audience but now I’m used to them Tipping Point is an easy watch, much preferred over the stale Chase. I’m confident these contestants aren’t the most switched on quizmasters though.
