I guess smart people are green lighting those ones because they’ve both done well.

The show was ok but the production on some of these Seven reality shows just comes across cheap compared to its rivals (like Survivor). The cast is its strongest pulling point, it is at least a bit different having so many contestants on a reality show and it seems like all sorts of people are on there. That’s a nice change.

The format so far though isn’t strong enough to pull you in and and surely can’t remain this way the whole season. There is a lot of luck involved and it’s way too easy for 1 lucky person to just knock out so many people (in this case a lot of the strong contestants).

The whole begging for bands seemed a bit odd and surely there won’t be too many quitters. I assume as it goes on people with multiple bands can save someone?

Million Dollar Island’s audience of 409,000 is probably on par with predications but much lower than Seven would have hoped. Give the huge lead-in, its seems inevitable that it will drop off from here. Since it is running two or three episodes a week, it might stay in the line-up, but looks like another one-season show.

How many episodes/weeks? They might as well let it run with 2 SOO weeks coming up on 9.

Not sure but in episode 6 the narration says they have reached the halfway mark.

Seems that the begging for bands continued though the early episodes anyway.

So it’s pulled ismilar numbers to The Summit. That show surprisingly didn’t drop too much from that as the season went on. Probably getting a similar audience.

So is anyone watching this again tonight? lol

91

Tonight’s episode is much better. This show has a really good cast and the episode being focused on some of the older female contestants is so different to what we normally see on reality TV.

92

If it could hold 400k (or miraculously grow) or even mid-300k, add regional and bvod = a very loyal audience… It might’ve been alright for Seven, when you take into consideration Seven News and AFL. However, Nine’s Ashes and shows like Travel Guides and even Parental Guidance should easily defeat Seven’s combo. Almost unfortunate timing.

I might take a look tomorrow and see what its like.

94

Has it been released online in full?

95

Well it picked up more viewers with regionals and BVOD added in and ended up neck and neck with Parental Guidance in the end. It would be good if it can at least sustain that audience. Like I said episode 2 was a lot better… this show is better than The Summit.

Second time in two days we’ve had to delete a ratings reference…a reminder while networks get them early they are publicly embargoed until 10am in the east.

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll watch it on catch up.

It’s funny how predictable flops always flop - and usually the only surprise is they flop quicker and harder than you might have expected.

Buckle up!

One camp will be wiped out on Million Dollar Island

One hundred players started, and 79 now remain. But for how long? On Monday night’s explosive episode of Million Dollar Island, forty-four-year-old Queensland environmentalist Brett Krause must choose two entire camps to go to war in an epic head-to-head arena battle that will see one camp wiped from the island.

The winning camp will share the bracelets in the biggest prize pot of the game before the losers must turn on each other in an emotional survival challenge. Only one player from the losing camp will remain on the island; the challenge will change everything.

It’s camp against camp as they fight to the death, and Brett faces off against 27-year-old Tess McKenna. The Western Australian mother of six calls for calm as camp members turn on each other.

Is this the day Brett will be knocked off the perch?

Million Dollar Island is hosted by Ant Middleton and produced by award-winning Eureka Productions.
