Reno Rumble

Television Nine Network
22

Saw an ad for Sunday’s episode, they’re resisting mentioning Reno Rumble by name now - the endtag just calls it “Easter Sunday Room Reveals”.

23

They are trying to make people think it’s The Block. Which is basically is. What’s the difference between the two shows?

Exactly. Now without the ex-House Rules element, it’s just The Block with a touch of Renovation Rescue. It could easily just be a “special charity episode” of The Block itself, never mind it’s own series.

Reno Rumble is a ratings disaster for Channel 9 and here are the nine reasons why it has flopped
News Corp

  1. Reno Rumble was never that popular to begin with
  2. Reno Rumble took on My Kitchen Rules
  3. Nine dropped the Block v House Rules contestant format
  4. The East v West concept sucks
  5. Reno Rumble is like an extended A Current Affair segment
  6. Reno Rumble is a victim of Nine’s poor start to the ratings year.
  7. 9 Life is cannibalising the home renovation audience
  8. Nothing comes for free
  9. Renovation shows are dead

  1. Over saturation of Scott Cam & Shelly Croft

And still nobody important at Nine had the foresight to see that this would happen. You can’t keep serving up viewers the same old shit and expect people to keep watching.

Funny how they have been advertising tonight’s episode as “Easter Sunday Room Reveals”, no mention of Reno rumble anywhere :stuck_out_tongue:

I don’t watch this, or the block, or house rules, but notice that the promos for all three regularly trumpeted the reveals. Is that what people are watching for? May as well just do a show that consists of nothing but the reveals, without all that pesky renovation.

is it time we go back to those lifestyle renovation shows (like Backyard Blitz, Domestic Blitz, Room for Improvement etc)? These shows actually showed renovation and reveals of a house/garden in a one-hour episode and only aired once a week. They were successful a decade ago too.

Surely, with all the filler Reno Rumble has in its daily shows, can it be edited into a one-hour-ish weekly show?

No. Those types of shows are now seen on Foxtel’s Lifestyle and 9Life. You can’t go back.

Similar to the Restaurant Revolution flop

I’m one of the fools watching this show (until it’s cancelled) but besides everything else wrong with it, Collin and Justin are just so out of place with the whole thing and it’s quite laughable really.

Double episodes on Tuesdays could actually increase Nine’s late night shares.

37

430,000 on Sunday

38

If it wasn’t dead before it is officially now. 430,000 for a reveal episode with no MKR to compete with is diabolical. I honestly thought it might be able to scrape towards the 600,000 mark given reveal episodes usually rate a lot better.

its actually running about 150k below Restaurant Revolution, the premiere 300k behind.

Don’t worry guys, moving it from starting at the same time as MKR to starting ~20 minutes before MKR finishes will no doubt see a ratings spike!

Hey, I’ve figured out what’s going on. It’s “RR” initialled shows that flop horribly.

Anyway, I thought RRev was getting in the low 300s later on, or even under 300k. We’ll see if RRum sinks that low.

Probably when it was shifted to the graveyard shift.
