Channel 9 Buries Survivor Fans V Favourites Like A Hidden Immunity Idol


Channel 9 must be determined to kill off the Survivor franchise in Australia as they have now decided to place it on a Tuesday night at 10.30pm.

So the most tedious show on TV 20 to 1 will lead it in. 20 to 1 is basically a 1 hour program which promotes Channel 9 personalities with bits of video footage in between. They must think this show will rate higher than Survivor.

This Survivor series brings back 10 favourites from previous series which will include Jonny Fairplay, James from China, and Ozzie.

TV Week has an interview with recent Emmy winner and the George Clooney of reality TV Jeff Probst here where he discusses the new series.

It should be noted this series has now finished in the US.

The Amazing Race won Best Reality TV Show At The Emmy's

The Amazing Race won the best reality TV show last night at the Emmy's ahead of the mega popular American Idol.

I think they have won this category five or six years in a row confirming that it is a quality reality tv show.

I am a huge fan and if pisses me off that Channel 7, who have the rights to it, cannot screen it, and when they do they bury it in the 9.30pm time slot. We are at least two seasons behind.

If they are not going to screen at least let pay TV screen them, as they only get the reruns.

This is one reality TV I covet to go on. I know if I went on it with my preferred partner, a friend, it would not be pretty, we would make Johnathan and Victoria look like Mother Teresa!

Jeff Probst won best reality TV host. Again Channel Nine when are we going to get Survivor back on our screens? We are at least one series behind. I would love to see the Fans V Favourites series that has finished in the US. It has the nasty Johnny Fairplay on it.

The Emmys were hosted by reality TV stars including Ryan Seacrest, Jeff Probst, and Heidi Klum. Apparently their hosting was pretty boring, and the the hunky Jeremy Piven gave them a metaphorical slap when he went up to accept his award.

EW.com slags them off here and here.


And finally from the Emmy's a badly dress Mary Murphy from So You Think You Can Dance.
