Is it just singers involved in this though?

83

The US version had non singers. It still sounds shit but I guess you gotta try something.

Yeah I was sure the Korean version had Ryan Reynolds.

I would lock in Julia Morris.

I agree in this case. To reveal any of the identities of this show when it goes to the very core of its appeal, would be really disappointing. I think you and your team are bigger than that. I hope you don’t go down this path.

In the right context, absolutely news worthy. As the intro for a news story not relating to thier ratings position at all… Probably didn’t need to be there.

Please don’t get me wrong Rob - as I said I truly enjoy tvblackbox and your content is great, but some of the commentary in this thread by Kevin was worrying and coupled with a “unique” relationship with 10, reads like a vendetta - I hope both tvbb and 10 can reach a truce.

Sadly I think people will flock to the new relationship junk reality shows coming soon to 7 .

So Warner says “not a singing show” so how do Ten promote it?

“upping the ante of singing shows”

89

I. think you might be taking Kevin the wrong way – he chases stories, it’s not about vendettas (and he breaks a lot of good yarns). He did point out we never reveal names in posts and what we’re talking about here is all hypothetical… but I’ve made my view on it clear.

There was a breakthrough today where 10 agreed to start sending media releases and guide info once again and I think that showed strong leadership and I appreciated it.

Fair enough and that’s a principled/ethical position to take.

Like I said in my original post, I was merely having a ‘cheap gag’ based on observing what’s happened in the past. I didn’t expect it would become the ‘flashpoint’ for a discussion about spoilers

91

That’s great news. Congratulations :slight_smile:

Back on topic: Masked singer sounds like it would do well for a couple of seasons but wear off pretty quickly.

Do the celebrities have to be decent singers as well?

92

I’m not convinced it will be that big in the first season.

93

I agree, it will be lucky to get 800,000+ for the premiere. Will probably end up doing DWTS numbers.

94

Do we think 10 will air it this year? With Masterchef doing so poorly I wonder if it will be better suited after Easter next year.

95

It will air after Survivor most likely

96

My money is on the following;

Tommy Little to Host.
Gorgi Coglan as a contestant.

97

My money is on BitterBox featuring in a brussel sprout mask

Ricki-Lee stripping out of her costume to reveal not much on underneath…sign me up! :drooling_face:

99

Hahaha I guess you will be watching AGT this year then!

100

Will this be something that airs in this calendar year or will 10 try launch the year with it next year?

101

Maybe. I’m not much for talent shows like I was in my younger day TBH.
