Sunday February 17
Seven should get a big audience in Melbourne with the BBL final between the two local teams. Will it flow into primetime? We will see.
I’m a Celebrity finale will be down on previous years simply because it is pre-recorded.

Yep, it’s due to the MS rule of not allowing a member to post 3 in a row. Otherwise I would have posted predictions on premiering shows such as Operation Live and Changing Rooms.

My prediction for tonight:

MAFS: 1.25m
MKR: 700K
DWTS: 800K

I’m going to go all out and say that DWTS will steal some of MKRs audience but leave MAFS unaffected.

18 Feb 19

Dancing with the Stars will sink to new lows. Meanwhile, Nine will win thanks to MAFS. Even more perth viewers will watch mafs over MKR.

DWTS will steal viewers from both MKR and Married at First Sight. Bad Mothers will get a modest audience.

Saturday

I fear 10’s main channel may be beaten by a multi-channel like 9Go! tonight

Sunday February 24
Both Seven and Nine will air stories on Michael Jackson tonight, I think Nine will win out simply because of MAFS lead-in. Sunday Night Takeaway should do OK.

Chris and Julia: 300k

Sunday

Sunday Night Takeaway: 425k

Chris & Julia’s Sunday Night Takeaway: 500k…and the Goggleboxers who’ll no doubt be watching for next weeks episode of their show, given that they had to sit through Changing Rooms.

Sunday takeaway 450k (I think that is good for 10 on a Sunday.

Married at First Sight should keep most of yesterday’s season high audience with two new couples “marrying” in tonight’s episode. Bad Mothers will drop after negative reviews for last week’s debut.
