Would it get axed if it was not a fully funded branded content series by Woolies?

It’s a good show. It’s a shame it’s not rating well.

With a trial/repeat performance like this, surely Woolies should delist the show?

I’ve been watching it..I think it’s just getting a bit boring as the format is pretty much the same every week but with a different food type to win.
It’s been amazing to see in stores which winning items are selling and not selling. The BBQ hot sauce I was unable to find in any store..sold like hot cakes (or sauce). The Samosas were great (very flavoursome and spicy). The Chili was a bit watery but Corn Chips were nice. The Bacon and Rice Croquettes broke apart too easy when baked.
I think this is a once off type show – if they made another season of this it would not do well.
