Barring an unexpected turn of events, we all know how this is probably going to play out - Seven will very likely put Stranded on Honeymoon Island directly up against MAFS and one of two things will happen: 1. MAFS will prevail because the audience will stick with the established original (even though MAFS in its current form is itself a mishmash of many reality programs) program; or 2. Both shows will cancel each other out and the audience will be split. The former is what probably will happen while the latter is what Seven will at least be hoping for. However, think the smarter strategic move would have been to air Stranded on Honeymoon Island in late Q4 this year (i.e., launching late October and airing throughout November) in an attempt to act as a spoiler for MAFS. ---

There might be naysayers but this is a smart move from Seven. Clearly the success of MAFS has shown that dating/love shows are the way to go. If this ends up airing in Q1 then it will be a very interesting battle between Stranded on Honeymoon Island and MAFS. ---

I think airing against MAFS might be a bad idea. But I agree that there seems to be an audience for some dating shows (I don’t know why), since Farmer Wants a Wife has performed alright for 7 beating Celebrity & Lego and it’s aired after MAFS finished and filling the dating show gap ---

Surely 7 are nervous given Blow Up and Million Dollar Island (both extremely similar to existing concepts) have failed. But something like the 1% Club (original and nothing similar) has been a success….who is coming up with these bad strategies?! ---
