Highly unlikely it will return. “Rested” is a way to say it’s axed without officially axing it. The new in house format has been a disaster.
10 fucked up something that was doing well to try and keep all that in show product placement revenue for itself.

Agree.
But the previous two years 10 has delayed the season start. I think this year it launched in April, 10 weeks after Gardening Australia and BH&G have been in that timeslot for the year. Peoples Friday night habits are already looked in for the year.

Tbe new set last year (which lasted one season), late season starts and format changes didnt help. Just bring it back like its glory days.

Would Graham Norton rate the same in the same timeslot and cost less?
Final episode for quite a while with the season final on 25 November.
Update: This is a Christmas special.

One thing she is right about is that it is unlikely to return. I think it had more than a fair run. The changes they made to the show were not popular with viewers so ratings dropped.

I don’t understand why they left it on Fridays when they could’ve tried it on Thursday or Saturday.

I agree re: Thursday, also yes dumping WTFN and the good format was a huge fuck-up.

Is this new ?
It’s a repeat of the final episode from a few weeks ago.
The Seven Network is delighted to announce that one of Australia’s most popular and talented television presenters, Chris Brown, will join the network in July.
The much-loved, award-winning presenter and author started his television career on Seven’s Harry’s Practice two decades ago before going on to star in and present some of Australia’s most successful programs.
Seven will announce details of Chris’ new projects for Channel 7 and 7plus later this year.
This is what happens when you let a show “rest”. Your dream team can’t just hang around waiting for the phone to ring, the rivals are going to pounce.

It is also arguable if they were serious about bringing it back in 2024.

It’s seriously dead now, they killed it when WTFN stopped making it anyway

If they do bring it back, 7:30 Friday isn’t the right slot for it. There are 2 other shows on in the same genre at the same time.
