Melbourne Weekender

Given these show’s tend to talk about events, etc, that would be on during, or near when an episode goes to air, I would guess that it means that they film some of the stuff closer to when the episode’s go to air.

My guess is Seven weren’t happy with ratings, or wanted to cut costs, and it got the chop before the final 2 episode’s were finished.

Anything that was filmed before then could possibly be repurposed for The Great Outdoors.

I think the two pulled episodes might have a home viewer competition linked to them.

For one week only? Because Sunday afternoon football will be back on Seven the following weekend.

Which is quite remarkable, we had basically no Sunday games on FTA last year!

Today’s episode is actually a Top End special hosted by Teigan Nash.

It feels like leftover content from The Great Outdoors.

I guess it could fill a week on all the weekender shows, not just Melbourne (and likely sponsored too, like most stuff on these shows).
