2018 Ratings Predictions

I suppose. But Ninja’s debut I think scarred them to air anything competitive in the 2nd half and by the looks of things it’s set to repeat again (judging by their line up).

Ten, yeah they’re going to get smashed but I think that’s the norm rather than the exception.

Yep - who could forget how Seven delayed the launch of Little Big Shots (which I think will probably crash and burn in the ratings this year, but that’s beside the point) because of ANW’s success last year?!

Although with the benefit of hindsight, it was probably a smart programming decision because up against Ninja Warrior, LBS probably would’ve become a Spartan-like megaflop.

Masterchef has been smashed so badly by Australia Ninja warrior last year and I expect this to continue for this year. @William_C Might be very worried about the Ratings for Masterchef up against Ninja Warrior.

Monday:

MasterChef 850k

House Rules 825k

Ninja flop 800k (dropping nightly)
