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?!

More like reserved for ads


Reserved for Friends with Pete Evans had the makings of a great new cooking show except for one thing...

Blatant advertising. It was so disappointing to see the obviously paid for marketing for Jacobs Creek wine throughout the entire show.

And see, they even get a mention here, but let’s pretend I just said a ‘wine company’ instead.

And why was it on 7Two so late (9.30pm) on a Friday night? Random.


With Pete Evans' constant references to the brand's wines in the show, Reserved for Friends may as well be a wine documentary instead.

Overbaked advertising

Channel Nine has really overdone it.

All year there's been the same package advertising The Great Australian Bake Off with the debut date a complete mystery.

Why is Nine having trouble committing to a date? Here's hoping viewers won't have as much trouble committing to regular viewing.

Cooking or news: time to decide Channel Nine

What happened to Nine Morning News at 11am for Adelaide viewers today? Despite the usual news updates with Wendy Kingston throughout Mornings with Kerri-Anne, a repeat of cooking show Alive and Cooking was aired followed by a new talk show Daily. Alive and Cooking normally airs at 3pm in Adelaide and we've been watching repeats for weeks now.

Turns out Channel Nine decided to play a new episode of Entertainment Tonight at 3pm as they do in the eastern states. While that was a refreshing change, some notice would be nice in the TV Guide. Who knows how long this programming will last, a few weeks then back to normal?

There's nothing wrong with the Nine news hour at eleven. In fact, the worst thing Nine did was ax the cooking show Fresh Cooking with the Australian Women's Weekly. Had they known Australians would fall in love with the cooking phenomenon that is MasterChef, perhaps they would've kept Fresh at 11.30am.
