Hope the recording went well and there was no technical issues.

Looking forward to seeing the show

Just imagining crew members there going, “Alright, so we have A/B/C being absent today for undisclosed reasons. Would any of you in the audience like to step up and fill in?”

Yes, this is a bit of a tongue in cheek response.
This is obviously a poke at other game show’s questions where the last one is down right incorrect.

The term for that is “joke answers”.

Anyway, back to topic, @Tvjunkie could you disclose whether or not the first question is actually worth $1,000 in the money tree?

That’s all I need to know. The rest I will wait until Xmas.

And is the show a 30 or a 60 minute edition?

Is it a good show - how’s Rebecca as the host?

Multiple dates are now available (through to Ep 100) until late November.

Nothing new. It was announced from the get-go that new dates will be added weekly.

Although I’m curious to know why on Earth this episode is recorded this far behind.

(If we were going chronologically, E52 would have to be recorded three weeks prior.)

I reckon episode 52 could be either a celebrity special or a festive special (e.g. Easter).

Could be a cross-promotion for one of their shows - perhaps some contestants from Survivor, Masterchef or IAC

Do we know if they’re hour or 30min episodes?

If it’s an hour then it’s already a disaster before it even airs.

Can’t be worse than News Minus

If it is it will be. It’s boring af and won’t rate. Will probably rate lower than news +

Are we to assume there will always be 5 new episodes a week?

There could be fewer new episodes with the Thursday/Friday as a repeat. Which is sadly the style of the current game show airing schedule currently.

I feel they would need at least 2 months of full weekly new episodes before going into repeats. So at least 40 episodes would be needed for the first 2 months. Then maybe move to 4 new episodes

Could be episode 52 had issues and they need to refilm a question or 2

We’re only filming up to episode 17 as of today.

I don’t think deliberately making issues so that it has to be re-recorded is a thing.

What type of contestants (not ordinary, for sure) would agree to film one joint episode on Wednesday at 5.10pm?

If they were going down the 4 new 1 hour episodes per week path, I would consider retaining DOND and screen 2 new episodes each week at 6pm Sunday with an encore at 6:30pm Friday. This would keep DOND in production should Hotseat not work out

Seems to be a big investment with 100 episodes at least… and having to creating a new set.
Not sure what happened to old set which Channel 9 had.
