Seven’s Australia Versus drops a million viewers in an hour
Tim Ross achieved a rare feat in Australian television on Tuesday night.
The first episode of Seven’s Australia Versus shed more than a million viewers on the audience it inherited from Packed To The Rafters.
Last night’s episode of the clip show featured comedians debating who was best out of Australia and England across a variety of categories.
But despite inheriting the network’s biggest audience of the night, the show lost two thirds of them.
I like the work of Tim Ross on radio and some of his TV work, but even watching the promo I felt it was even more of a turkey than Spearman.
Shame to waste a talent
This was truly one of the worst programmes ever shown on Australian TV. It made 20 to 1 look like high art.
Yep, not surprising. It is a dog of a show. I was quite stunned at how bad it was in fact. And not even vaguely amusing.
This was bloody awful. Could only bare 90 seconds and even that was hard.
Felt so cheap and crap, everything from the editing, to the music.
Please axe it.
I hope Tim Ross is being payed a veritable fuckload by CH 7 to host Australia Versus, cos he looks about as comfortable as a man being anally probed with a ball-point pen.
I am so pleased to hear this rated poorly. I was embarrassed just watching the promos. Channel 7, I’d expect this kind of TV from Channel 9, very disappointing.
Quite a wide-rimmed ball-pint pen, at that.
Who would’ve thought, Channel 7 not coming up with something original or creative?
Besides, who knows what the original idea was that Ross had before it was watered down and Channel 7’nd.
another 7 lame duck in a long list of lame ducks
Tim will be hard pressed coming back from this flop on TV id think
THIS WAS SOOOOO BAD THIS SHOW
I feel sorry for Tim Ross. I’m sure this wasn’t what he signed on for. What a waste of his talent.
Exactly who did Seven think they were going to ‘entertain’ with this pulp? It’s bad enough that Nine thinks 20-1 is acceptable to broadcast, but for Seven to try and emulate the same format is a insult.
Wake up TV Networks.
And someone, give Tim Ross something more interesting to do.
Tim Ross is such a sellout. He deserves it all. I couldn’t even wath the show as the shine from his teeth were too bright.
idiot
Herald Sun Reader: the show wasn’t Ross’s idea, he just signed on to host it.
@ BD

Tim Ross – talent – please, at least Sandilands delivers. Off to SBS Rosso
