Masterchef running way over time for a 90min episode. Ten not giving shark tank a fair go by starting so late. I know the EPG is accurate but 9:14pm is way too late for shark tank.
And if an episode of masterchef is down for 90min surely that is enough time.
Absolute joke that they continue to do this. To begin with Shark Tank should have aired on a weekday where it could have been given an 8:30/8:40 timeslot. Airing it at 9:15 is just not giving it the respect it deserves. I just donāt understand why they canāt air Masterchef at 7 and move new modern family to 6:30.

Airing Mastercehf at 7pm is only annoying to viewers. They want to keep it in a consistent time slot Sunday-Thursday which Iām pretty sure itās always been and should should be. The amount of times I missed some of the Sunday episode of Iām a Celeb because they switched the time slot just for Sunday nights, just shows how bad a programming decision that is (for me anyway).
Shark Tank will do better next week without the Logies as competition - guaranteed. The only bad programming decision was premiering it this week.
I agree with you, but I ask you this:
- What about The Voice and House Rules that donāt get affected by the āinconsistentā timeslots? Why are Ten any different?
- What about Shark Tank fans? A start time of 9:16 when it could be aired at approx 8:30? Modern Family repeats at 6:30 get a better timeslot.

Wow Marco gave high praises for Charlieās dish during the mystery box challenge, and to Nidhiās dish in the invention test. I have never seen him so delighted with the contestantsā creations.
I feel sorry Cecilia who stuffed up (no pun intended) in the invention test. Creating something for her son is one thing, making a stuffed parsnip for the four judges is another.
- The Voice and House Rules have MUCH stronger lead ins than Masterchef. Clearly a lot of viewers switch on Ten just for Masterchef and I could guarentee if they changed it to 7pm would have a negative impact on ratings (at least for the first couple weeks). Plus Masterchef is on more nights of the week than either shows, so it makes sense to keep it in a consistent timeslot.
- Shark Tank has ALWAYS been in this time slot on Sundayās after Masterchef so just because you want it to air 30mins earlier doesnāt mean it should or needs too. Ten need something after Masterchef on a Sunday and thatās Shark Tank.
I think you are full of excuses. Masterchef still only has 500k as a lead in to 7:30. Not much difference.
Fact is back in the day The Biggest Loser and Talkin bout your generation managed to get decent figures when they started at 6:30. TBL managed to survive the inconsistent timeslots.
And when Ten aired MC at 7pm weeknights it managed to survive the inconsistent timeslots.

Ah it only aired a couple of times after Masterchef. It actually aired in an 8pm time slot at one stage. I think last nights figures disagree with you. An earlier time slot is obviously needed.
Shark Tank has ALWAYS been in this time slot on Sundayās
Oh yes actually you are right that Shark Tank started earlier in the year last year so only ran over a few weeks into Masterchef. However when it did it aired after Masterchef on a Sunday and Ten clearly held Shark Tank back to launch it so it runs after Masterchef so deal with it. Shows can rate at 9pm. Look at First Dates, Seven Year Switch etc.
However I donāt agree at all that moving Masterchef earlier is a good move. Ten want it in a consistent timeslot, itās their one precious show that consistently performs for them so why risk messing that up with timeslot changes? I honestly donāt think that Shark Tank would perform much differently if it was on at 8.40pm or 9.10.
I honestly just think Ten made a bad call putting Shark Tank on Sundays. Iām not too fazed if it airs at 9pm either, it isnāt even airing there though. Its airing at 9:15. And I canāt think of a lot of programs that rate well on a Sunday at that time. Ten should have either shortened the length of Masterchefs sundays episodes or put Shark Tank in a weeknight slot. And 8:30 Wednesdays keep popping up in my head where, in two weeks time, nothing noteworthy will be airing.
First official pressure test tonight, canāt wait.
Charlie was so lucky, agreed heās wasnāt bad enough.
Poor Cecelia :ā(
Maybe they will have it on twice a week then? I remember last year Shark Tank went on for months so they would probably have a lot of episodes up their sleeve again.
Perhaps wouldnāt be a stupid move and would explain the reason for no promotion of any other shows for Wednesday.
Moving MasterChef, their only programme that rates, for Shark Tank, something no-one watches? Ridiculous.

The follow-me-cook elimination with Marco always tested the nerves of the contestants. Con fell behind when he cut his fingers preparing the fish and he did not catch up with Cecilia and Nathaniel until they put the fish in the oven, but he survived because he cooked the fish perfectly. Nathaniel followed the process but forgot his fish was smaller than Marcoās and did not adjust the baking time (Marco and the judges did not point it out) so the fish was overcooked, and he was out.
Looking forward to the immunity challenge tonight, they were great last year 
Somehow I dint think theyāll pull the same ratings though (with The Voice and to an extent House Rules competition)?
