I watched the Renovators for the first time last night.
The MasterChef formula may work with flour and ovens but not with gravel and shovels.
Unfortunately the host (is it Brendan?) has the personality of a garden shed. Nice guy but…………………………………….
very happy that the renovators is performing badly. Ch10 are taking the piss out of it’s viewers with this show. Vs the Block, Renovators completely lacks any substance & humour & proof that the particular style/formula of reality is crap. Masterchef pulls the punters because of Matt, Gary & George not because we like a shiny ad or sponsor or inane drivel.
Bahaha…so much for David Mott’s “sampling” on Sunday night. If this were a degustation those samples would have just been vomited back up.
I guess the strategy for no plan B was not such a great strategy.
Geez, you guys are clever. Explain to me the relationship between a show actually being any good and it rating well?
I’d rather tie rope around a brick, tie the other end of the rope around my genitals, and throw the brick off my balcony, than watch the top rating shows on channels 7,9 and 10 each night.
If the aim of producing a TV program is to make money then you look at whether than is working out – when the numbers come in you have a measure of success or failure.
If you produce a program with the aim of it being educational, exciting, intriguing, funny, whatever, you can have a nice little discussion about whether it actually was any of those things and why.
If you have any doubts about what kind of program The Renovators is you’re not doing it right!
I’m so confused!
Renovators and The Block look sort of the same to me.
But then my little kid wants to watch Top Design. Which is sort of the same again.
Then as well as LOOKING all the same they are all ON at the same time – except sometimes!
Plus the do it yourselfers can only handle 1 show at a time to digest any info gained…um its cheaper to knock it down and start again theory does not work with these viewers something about inteligence and look at me im on tv….
I think the problem with the show is the yellow and black . I dont like it.Give it a chance so much money invested in the show.
Yes, I think a heliotrope logo would immediately double the show’s audience.
DESTINY! DESTINY! NO ESCAPING THAT FOR ME!
The format is floored !!!!!
The trick with Masterchef is showing us what the contestants are cooking. Renovators seem to want to show us anything BUT what the contestants are renovating. SHOW ME THE GODDAM HOUSES.
Although, if they bring back Don Burke a la potty mouth Can of Worms-style, I might watch every night….
