Million Dollar Drop fails to reach 1m
Nine’s heavily promoted new game show Million Dollar Drop averaged just 933,000 and failed to make the top ten rating programs for the night.
According to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam, Million Dollar Drop was 12th for the night.
The show – promoted by Nine as coming from “a secret location” is – is made for the network by Southern Star at Docklands Studios in Melbourne.

It wouldn’t have been as bad if it weren’t for Frankie.. most. annoying. chick. ever!
The show was doomed from the moment they announced Eddie Maguire as host. It would be interesting to see city-by-city breakdown but I’ve never met anyone north of the Victorian border who likes the man.
Will definitely watch again – keep the creepy couples coming!
Agree Stacey. Shocking casting for the launch episode. Can’t believe Nine could get something so basic so wrong.
To answer your question JHG, the city-by-city didn’t contain any dramas. I expected to see it more popular in Melbourne, but it wasn’t.

The trailer above sums up Nine’s casual contempt for the viewers.
The fact that they present it as “a secret location” literally at the same time they’ve announced in a press release that it’s at the Dockland Studios shows they either think the viewers are morons, or they just don’t think at all and will put anything into a promo if they think it’ll deliver a quick hit.
What do they expect wqhen they cast idiot Mcguire as the host !! As soon as i saw he was hosting it i decided not to watch.
I lasted about 5 minutes before I found the contestants and Eddie too much to take…
It was definately tension filled, asides from the contestants who really came across as well rehearsed to really amp up the stress, i learnt that it takes a good 20 odd seconds to physically shift a million bucks worth of twenty dollar notes.
I got through the first question that was bad enough but I was dumbfounded when I turned back after an hour to see the seventh question and the same stupid comments from Ed, “so, what’s your thinking on this” after the drab contestants just spent a gruelling couple of minutes discussing what they were doing, jeeeez, one of the dullest shows ever, zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
How the hell did Channel 9 pich that episode to screen first as an example of the show ??? That girl Frankie was Sooooooooo annoying. Had to turn it off In the end.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm – would be great without Eddie. Old and out of touch!
I caught 5 mins of it until I started feeling queasy. A Million Dollar Flop.
terrible show! didnt anyone tell Eddie Mcguire his glory days are over?
Maybe” Everywhere Eddie” should drop a million from his salary for his terrible performance. It’s all over for you…Eddie.
The problem is that Eddie dates the show…
And the final question is “who’s older Paris or Nicky Hilton” COME ON!
They’re treating us like monkeys..
Million Dollar Droppings!
It was like watching really bad acting with the faked up “tension” … way too slow, way too annoying contestants and way too inappropriate timing for such a frivolous show at a time when people all over our country are struggling to get by after what seems like never ended devastation across our country and across our world! This couple don’t need the financial help and they were irritating to boot! Don’t get me started on the predictive “easy answer” questions up front …. bring back the original Millionaire if they must ….. better still – put the money and the time slot to better more deserving use.
Hi there !!!
I like to know how can i get into this great game to play THE MILLION DOLLAR DROP
I LOVE ITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
I switched over to Jeopardy during the break for about 20 answers. All of them were better than “Which Hilton sister is older?”.
