Was that the Junior Masterchef with the PM on for a guest re-appearance?

No, she appeared on Sunday’s episode.
Tim, can we get results for the NRL Grand Final at all…?

Seems as if the format is a little predictable for viewers now with regards to JMC. What plans do TV stations have for next year? more of the same. I hear Big Brother is coming back to Nine?

I just wanted to use this forum to state how shocked and dismayed I am that anyone watches both these shows.

well lets hope good sense is returning to the viewers.
The cringe rating of Junior Masterchef was 9/10.I had the misfortune of watching it last night as the TV had been commandeered by wife and daughter.

In would be great to see some numbers for last Sunday. Along with the NRL impact, it would also be good tio see the Terra Nova numbers considering it was a topic of great discussion at this very online place a few weeks back.

10 are in trouble. Nothing is firing for them and the ABC is constantly beating them.
Why would you give them any money until next year?

And what about the PayTV numbers for the Rugby World Cup. Much better, skillful footy and production to match without all the overblown hype that Nine goes on with for its local inter-suburban and inter-city league final coverage.
Shouldn’t league be renamed? It would be more appropriate these days to call it Tattoo League. And much truer branding!
