The return on investment is much greater for Travel Guides than Holey Moley. Holey Moley was supposed to be Seven’s biggest and most expensive shows of 2021. Pulling in 450k is not a success for a high budget production, no matter which way you try to spin it ---

Fair enough. I can understand that logic. But I wouldn’t call Travel Guides a ‘Hit’ either. Fact is it didn’t win its timeslot each time it was on, it rated around 600k and I doubt it was that cheap to make. ---

> [@Affable](#): > > The return on investment is much greater for Travel Guides than Holey Moley. Agree. Travel Guides is not a network staple show and was used as filler programming. It did very well considering it was plucked into that time slot quickly for a short run. It’s success also seems to have pushed the network to air the unaired season of overseas travel that they didn’t want to air last year due to the pandemic / lack of people travelling. ---

> [@Chris](#): > > Travel Guides is not a network staple show How do you come to that conclusion? It was a regular show in the schedule in 2017, 2018, 2019. It only skipped 2020 because of the adverts/promotional tie-ins the episodes had. ---

It’s a short run season that previously was in a post 9pm time slot. The network aren’t pinning everything onto it like they do with their 7.30pm tent-pole shows. ---

Look although I agree with you it did well. I don’t think being number 2 in your timeslot warrants a hit status. Not to mention it was beaten by a show you called a ‘miss’ both nights it was up against it in the key demos and was third in most of the demos both nights it was against Holey Moley and The Amazing Race. And beaten by I’m a celebrity in total and key demos in its first week. Just seems a bit of a contradiction in my opinion. ---
