Recycling the chefs already?

Not unusual. It happened often in previous seasons.

It was daily, in daytime and had a longer run. As was mentioned with the Easter one, not much thought went into the programming order it seems.

This shows works well in the afternoons (or mornings).
Surely, they could pump this out during daytime again?

It does need to be bumped from Friday night viewing. Numbers aren’t the greatest. But fitting it on a weekday is tricky, with Masterchef repeats airing in the “lunchtime” slot.
It can air during the weekends during the day, with other local cooking and travel shows (aka paid advertisement as such), with all the sponsorships during these shows…
They need to bump this to Saturday night as first run rather than repeat, and slot Wheel Of Fortune in here on Fridays

No guarantee that Wheel Of Fortune will rate any better, and is providing local first run programming on Friday nights.
This won’t run all year. I can see a Wheel and Graham Norton Show combo on Friday nights
Wheel is also first run local programming (the Aus version, not the UK version). And of course “no guarantee” it will rate better… but there’s a chance, whereas it’s positive that RSC doesn’t work on Fridays. I’d prefer a chance of success over proven failure
Hardly local - filmed overseas, overseas host and crew, with expats living overseas.

It’s “local content” by the definition of “local content”. It’s commissioned by an Australian broadcaster. Is Survivor AU not “local content” because it’s not filmed here…?!

Would be awesome if they did this. However in this costly FTA era is daytime TV a thing anymore?

After the audience voted for the winning team in the first round, Dan proposed to Michael on stage, much to the surprise of Alice and Khanh.
And Michael said yes.
Alice’s team won first round by a single vote, but Khanh won the second second by a large majority.
