Is the first one painful or is that a typo. :open_mouth:

This.

If they want to focus on drama they might as well bring Hell’s Kitchen back and have Gordon Ramsay swearing at cocky professional chefs (like many on MKR) while trying to find the lamb sauce or burning the beef wellington. Now that would be a great match-up against MAFS :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Flicking between channels :slight_smile:

This year I am watching MKR on Sundays and taping the show on Mondays to Wednesdays while watching Australian Survivor over dinner, and will catch up on the recorded episodes on weekends.

2285

While you’re probably right, I still reckon My Kitchen Rules should be axed or at the very least, rested before a relaunched version pops up on-screen a year or two later.

…or if MKR is shown after MasterChef finshes for the year, when many viewers will have likely suffered from “cooking fatigue” and move onto what Nine or Ten have to offer as a result.

LOL, a show like that would probably have to be rated MA for very coarse language (unless there were to be more beeps than at a supermarket checkout) and shown after 8.30pm!

MKR is down on Sunday’s launch…

2287

More significantly, MKR was fifth in its timeslot last night. Beaten by a railway doco on SBS.

2288

With that in mind, perhaps Seven needs to replace MKR with MRR - My Railway Rules (now there’s a tongue-in-cheek mock idea for you)! :wink:

The second part of the article is much funnier as it concerns a Facebook post by NSW Police last night.

2290

What timeslot can they realistically move it two and replace it with what? Do they even have anything, and as poor as this rates, would rate better? Might just need to suck it up and air the whole lot.

I dare say the sponsors wouldn’t be too happy. They would not have gone to market offering potential sponsors sub 400k.

2291

There was an article going around late last year with what 7 were promising to advertisers. And I believe it was an increase in the 25-54 share. Which has not occurred.

2292

Maybe MKR numbers will improve tonight, given it won’t have to compete with that railway doco again. :rofl:

2293

That headline and opening part of that story is a beat up because as the article states further in:

The author has now conceded it was probably a mistake by the captioner, but hasn’t bothered to change the headline.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. Some of the things MKR is doing this season like having ‘Champions’ & ‘Challengers’ groups with Manu & Colin each mentoring one of them aren’t actually bad ideas. It’s just the emphasis on the two teams + their mentor judges being so-called ‘rivals’ (and the many cringe-worthy ads which resulted from that) and the removal of pretty much all the elements which made MKR the show it was has resulted in viewers deserting the show.

The ad aspect reminds me of the season when MasterChef promoted itself as being about girls v boys and the show’s ratings fell as a result

It’s still a homophobic slur!

‘The author’* said from the get-go he didn’t believe the contestant said the line but that it was amistake by captioning. It doesn’t change anything

*Please note I am ‘the author’ :wink:

I think the point is that it implicates the person in the image, as it’s implied that he said that - even though it’s been clarified that he apparently didn’t.

2297

Huh?

You can’t explain all that in a headline. I’m very clear in the story that I didn’t think he said it and the network has backed that up.

This is an embarrassing captioning issue that should never have happened.

I’m not really sure what I’ve done wrong here???

2298

Could they move it to Wed/Thurs only away from MAFS and Survivor which I imagine will be Sun-Wed

2299

Surprised no one has mentioned that they could move this to 7 Food Network :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

You should pay more attention. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
