The Bachelor Australia flops

So The Bachelor Australia started and it's clearly not as good as the American version. But it makes you cringe and LOL.

Aussie Bachelor, Tim Robards.
Andrew G, sorry, 'Osher' (he will always be Andrew G in our heads) always explains how the show works and what's going to go down in these irritating voice-overs as if The Bachelor is a game show aired before the nightly news. We all know how The Bachelor works, it's not a new concept on TV...

Let's watch the ratings drop and see if it gets the flick to Channel Eleven. In the meantime, enjoy the comedy on display with the remaining 20-odd ladies awkward and forced romance with The Bachelor.

What were your 'first impressions' of the show?

Finally a shoe change

Anna Gare finally changed her shoes after wearing the same red wedges for the past month! Last night she wore blue wedges instead on Channel Nine's The Great Australian Bake Off.

It's funny how viewers can pick up on the smallest of fleeting details isn't it?!

Melissa Doyle's ridiculous farewell

Talk about an OTT farewell for Channel Seven Melissa Doyle.

But why did they even call it a so-called farewell? It's not like she is leaving the entire station.

Her Sunrise farewell took precedence over the day's news. Such. A. Long. Segment. Repeated. Over. And. Over. LOL. Nothing wrong with having the last half hour of the show for the look backs, is there?

I don't think she is more important than world happenings especially since she's remaining with the Seven Network.

Just when you thought that was enough coverage, Seven's start up show The Daily Edition felt the need to repeat a farewell package during their show.

2 Broke Girls disappear after 2 episodes

You can't just start playing the new series of 2 Broke Girls and then stop after two weeks without any explanation.

Stars of 2 Broke Girls: Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs.

Channel 9 is treating viewers with disrespect. It was bad enough that Nine chose to play a repeat of The Big Bang Theory at 9.30pm over a new 2 Broke Girls episode which aired at 10pm.

It's understandable if reruns of The Big Bang Theory rate higher but it's just silly not to give new shows precedence.

Why not put new episodes of 2 Broke Girls on GO! Channel in a permanent timeslot?

War on television

Formal Wars is Channel 7's answer to Fifi Box's show Four Weddings - tacky but fun to watch.

Watching eager teenage girls have their formal dress, hair, makeup and accessories chosen by their mothers was the twist that the girls didn't see coming. Although the show could be condensed from one hour to just half.

Friends Shanqiue and Montana featured on the show.
 Here they arrive at their formal.

Mockumentary baking our screens

The filming and camera angles on Channel 9's The Great Australian Bake Off are creating a mockumentary vibe to the show. Just saying.

When reruns are enough

Can GO! please stop repeating the same series of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette every time the already repeated series ends.

The usual offenders Brad Womack, his rejected winner Emily Maynard, Ben Flajnik and Ashley the dentist are on a never ending cycle .

C'mon GO! they're up to the 17th season already.
