Gogglebox continues to rise on slow Thursday
Gogglebox continued to grow its audience and secure a win in all the demographics in a slow night for TV last night winning , as no show managed to crack a million metro viewers.
The Ten show, which the network confirmed would return next year, managed 643,000 viewers to win its 8.30pm timeslot. It was also the most time-shifted show last week managing an extra 100,000 taking its total to 733,000.
Nine’s The Verdict slumped to 419,000 at 8.30pm, despite a special episode debating last week’s Paris attacks.
Nine did manage the most-watched non-news show last night with RBT at 7.30pm getting 770,000 viewers, and a repeat at 8pm managing 709,000, according to OzTam’s overnight metro ratings.
Ten’s latest Jamie Oliver series, Jamie’s Super Food, also performed decently with 577,000 viewers at 7.30pm, while Seven’s best shot outside of news was soapie Home & Away which had 711,000 viewers at 7pm and an episode of Mighty Cruise Ships which had 634,000 at 8.30pm.
Seven News won the night with 966,000 viewers at 6pm and 919,000 at 6.30pm, ahead of Nine’s 911,000 at 6pm and 898,000 for the 6.30pm bulletin.
That helped Seven to an audience share win with 18.8 per cent, ahead of Nine’s 17.6 per cent, Ten on 14.6 per cent and ABC on 12.1 per cent share.

Do Googlebox insist that their social commentators sit in exactly the same seats?

Hi Duncan,
We did a big piece on declining audience and some of the challenges around measurement a few weeks ago. See link here: https://mumbrella.com.au/you-wouldnt-buy-a-different-tv-set-for-each-network-so-why-arent-they-collaborating-on-streaming-327213

I was surprised to read this week the Goggleboxers don’t get paid (well…besides their TV snacks!).
I’m guessing something like The Bachelor must pay a fee as the contestants are away from home and their jobs.
Something like Family Feud wouldn’t pay as its a game of skill / potential rewards etc.
Does anybody have more info how this works?
But I guess if people are willing to do Gogglebox to get famous, then that’s absolutely their choice.

Hi SACD,
I have it from good authority that Goggleboxers do get paid – a fee I’m not at liberty to disclose – but frankly, they’re not paid well, IMHO.
Your point about getting famous (or at least enjoying the spotlight) I would suggest is the reason why many of them are happy to accept what they get paid.

Crack open the champagne !!!!!
I remember when this only happened when shows cracked the million mark, which USED to happen regularly when we had a smaller population.
