Slow start for Naomi Robson’s new online dating show
The first edition of Naomi Robson’s new video venture, The Naomi Show has gone live.
At the time of posting, three new pieces of video had gone online. The first, Robson’s introduction to the site, had received nine views.
The set looks like a porn flick I saw last week. Just sayin.
I recall there was suggestions regarding Naomi Robson doing a show like Oprah Winfrey. I think this would have been a better choice, and its a shame it fell through! Now that Oprah is finishing up, (what I heard), it would have been a good opportunity for Naomi to do one in Australia.
As for her new show, which discusses sex. I’m no prude, but I think there already is too much information about it. It may do well, but I still believe it would have been better to see Naomi on something more professional and less some what intrusive.
I congratulate her honesty in still wanting to meet Mr. Right, and I hope it works out well for her. I think alot of women in their forties, hold negative views about themselves so its good to see someone come out, and think positive and look fantastic at the same time,
Instead of talking about what not to say after sex, how about discussions on people who have never had sex and are a certain age. Or people who are afraid of sex, or loath their bodies. More of a self esteem issue.
Naomi, if you read this, these are some of the discussions you may want to bring up, because they are topics very few people will openly discuss . You can help alot of people, so in a way, you might want to take the approach of probably turning this new show, into something like Oprah Winfrey, because winning hearts, wins ratings and its very hard to have you removed if you slip up.
Good luck…
The creators of the show (and site) aren’t doing themselves any favours in the way of getting it found, either.
The “naomishow.com” site ranks nowhere in the top 6 pages of Google in searches for “naomi robson new show” or “naomi robson show”.
There are no PPC ads to be seen either (I’d venture a guess that these could be bought cheap, it doesn’t seem to be a hotbed of competition).
Lots of high-authority sites (Mumbrella included, along with every other news portal) have linked through to the domain, giving it decent credibility, so it’s now really up to her Digital Media/PR agency to step in and do their jobs a little better, I’d say.
Oh J**** people
Another vacant nodding smiling autocue reading talking head.
Cunningly contrived to skirt controversy.
If this idea was a puppy, it would be quietly drowned in a bucket. Someone’s poor father would be left explaining to the tearful children why Lassie should have been vaccinated.
The kids would be sad, but come Wednesday there would be a shiny new kitten. All will be forgotten. Kids are resilient.
Kittens, what’s not to love.
Seriously. This is going to last about 5 minutes.
The woman is under contract, they are desperately trying to figure out what to do with her and this is someone’s idea of a good idea.
Give me the time slot! I’d talk about all the big issues, like wigs. And revenge. And how to remove blood stains. I’d have to be more interesting than her. Brand Power is more interesting than her. Her hair is more interesting that she is. Is it a wig?
See, this is the kind of thing I’d be talking about.

Tim,
You have made me associate Naomi Robson and sex.
I will never forgive you.
Farewell,
Warlach.
Naomi Robson and sex.
Upon making contact, Naomi Robson tightens its tail around the host’s neck in order to render it unconscious through oxygen deprivation. The former host of Today Tonight then inserts a proboscis down the host’s throat, supplying it with oxygen whilst simultaneously implanting an embryo. Attempts to remove Naomi Robson generally prove fatal, as she will respond by tightening her grip, and the former co-host of Seven’s News At Five’s acidic blood prevents her from being safely cut away … I’d imagine.
Thanks, Jake… and here’s a lovely Twitpic of Naomi and I having a coffee this morning: http://twitpic.com/124owq
I can assure you that no oxygen deprivation occurred, and I remained fully conscious at all times.
(It’s also worth noting that since posting this article, the what-not-to-say-after-sex video has now picked up a more respectable couple of thousand views.
Cheers,

Wait… so you slam her, and her agent, and her show, and her new direction, then pimp the videos while enjoying a coffee with the both of them, while Mr Markson who took the picture tweets about how “extremely smart+clever” you are?
You’ve got to be kidding me, right?
You have an exceptionally good grasp of a linear timeline, Warlach….
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
I have to say Tim there is a distinct change in your tone since meeting her for a coffee. On reading your initial postings you were definitely going for the jugular. Sounds like you are a wee bit ‘star?’ struck.
Hi DD,
Just realised that I misunderstood Warlach’s point. Actually he has got his linear timeline a tad out of alignment….
At the time of writing the above story, not only had we not met, but I had no idea we would be doing so. That invitation only came in a call at 7.15 this morning via her agent Max Markson when he had a gap in today’s round of press interviews for the launch today.
Read the story again. Rather than starstruck, it’s kind of awkward having a coffee with someone when you’ve just written a story saying their videos haven’t had many views yet. Fair to say that polite as she was, I don’t think she saw it as positive…
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
Those views are tiny.
The highest has 1,774.
The lowest just over 100.
This is a presenter used to a nightly audience of 1.4 million plus.
I hope Vodafone has some minimum performance benchmarks …
The dangers of putting something on YouTube – everyone can see you fail. Should have kept the videos in house. I doubt they will get a second bite of the publicity cherry on this, so I would expect those views to get lower and lower on subsequent videos.
