Everyone is making choices–not all of them are good…
*** NOTE: NEW METRICS AND REPORTS ***
- Total TV Overnight Top 30 and Consolidated 7 Top 30 National Total TV reach is calculated using cumulative unique audiences watching 1 min of broadcast TV and 15 sec of BVOD.
- Total TV National audience is calculated using the audience average for the program as time-coded by the Network across 5CM and all regional markets nationally watching on broadcast TV and BVOD.
- BVOD national audience is calculated using the total number of minutes watched (including co-viewing) divided by the length of the program.
PRIMETIME ANALYSIS
The big three reality shows started the week with Nine’s offering more than double it’s nearest rival:
Married At First Sight (1,732,000 avg) (lw 1.576m) on Nine
Australian Idol (874,000 avg) (lw 894k) on Seven
Australian Survivor (563,000 avg) (lw 612k) on Channel 10.
Before that all kicked off, The Sunday Project (290,000 avg) (lw 323k) on 10 struggled even to match last week’s meagre ratings. Meanwhile, on the ABC, a new episode of Death in Paradise (800,000 avg) (lw 818k) slipped a little though still did better than 10, and the premiere of House of Gods (340,000 avg) landed about where most first run drama finds itself–next week’s Consolidated 7 figures will start to reveal the strength of catch-up, particularly for our modern consumption of scripted content.
The later primetime offerings did their commercial parents (mostly) proud:
60 Minutes (860,000 avg) (lw 836k) on Nine
Ron Iddles: Good Cop (661,000 avg) (lw 577k) on Seven
repeat of NCIS: Hawaii (51,000 avg) (lw DNR) on 10.
NOTE: If you want a good representation as to why “Total TV National Reach” is a faulty metric to measure success of a program on, look at these figures:
60 Minutes — REACH 2,093,000 (2nd overall) — AVERAGE 860,000 (6th overall)
repeat of NCIS Hawaii — REACH 633,000 (20th overall) — AVERAGE 51,000 (in that list, 30th overall)
Reach artificially inflates the audience to suggest the shows – both of which run for approx 60 minutes including ads – performed way better than they did.
REACH IS NOT A THING.

poor guy..
she is a nut case just there for her self
Gail Vidler she is acting and badly to promote her pathetic tv career
Gail Vidler 🚩🚩 calls herself a medium… huh??
Why on earth would he write stay?
Poor Ash
What’s happened to the Foxtel ratings?
Hi Athol – Foxtel are launching their own metric (soon, allegedly), and so have removed themselves from the OzTAM recording of ratings.
She is a loony tune
I hope she booked a room in the mental institution
She is a fruit lup
Voices in one’s head may very well be a psychic medium, it could also be schizophrenia ?
Malcolm Guest or an actress 🤷♀️
Marissa Huddy
Yes quite possibly but being a medium is not a party trick or something you pull out to give the impression of better than
Malcolm Guest all an act 😂
Marissa Huddy she is an actress – she was in Home and Away (Dean’s ex-girlfriend)
Malcolm Guest I have met people that say they are psychic mediums and they do not act like that ever; she is an actress (bad one) but I also think she has schizophrenia. Total nut job.
Malcolm Guest yep !
Marissa Huddy a bad one at that.
Marissa Huddy not a very good one tho
Sandra Jaeschke Lang yeah that’s why I’m thinking she was acting
Sandra Jaeschke Lang yes and she was also in Wentworth lol.
Malcolm Guest I would say !
Just Plain Stupid !
No amount of money would get me to act abnormal like her…….nutter.
She’s doing it and hoping for a place on neighbours or Home and away. She’s an actress.
Paulina Johanne she was in home and away
Sue Raczek And she’s hoping to be in it again.
Paulina Johanne as a medium perhaps?
Paulina Johanne she did 50 or so episodes in H&A. Glad they got rid of her character then. Pretty ordinary
David Humphries or some poor sucker’s wife???
Barb Trethewy I’m sure she’d play anyone, anything!
He dodged a bullet. She is definitely mentally unstable. Definitely needs psychiatric help
That woman was a twit , not from this reality. Why would you go on the show, she didn’t even try to get to know him. He wasn’t my cup of tea but he was a person, she was a twit.
Her and Collins would of been a match in heaven.
Sam Michael or Lauren as a good friend, they’re both nutters
Juliet Vance they should match ash and natalie cruelty what happened to them
Sam Michael which one was Natalie, I’ve forgotten already
Sam Michael good thinking !ha ha
This women has very deep beleave going on her head ? Maybe in to a bit of 🧙♀️ witch craft, or a great actor beleaveing in her self . The poor husband so scared in he’s thoughts , of no return . 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️ 🏃♂️
Fiona Watson l actually said to my Daughter, Ash’s facial expressions, his eyes👀 remind of the saying a deer in headlights.. Poor guy.
Just goes to show there’s little competition, especially shows that you have to watch several consecutive episodes per week. A win by default only.
Jason Chatwin there’s actually lots of competition.
TV Blackbox you’ve missed my point completely
Thank God they have gone
Great man big hugs 🫂 crazy lady
She’s an empty vessel
He is so nice she is very out there.
Give her the flick before she sends you nuts!
She got no air time after the honeymoon hence she wrote leave because she is only there for herself , just an awful
Shallow nut job of a woman
Poor ash he looked like a deer in the headlights
He should have been matched with Cass
I think anyone who goes on this television show is in grave need of mental health therapy ASAP .
The proof is shown on every single episode. It’s No wonder the whole world is going to SHT because of crap entertainment like this.
Its just not normal for someone to carry on like her.
They were just for a bit of drama
Fancy these “experts” so called I must add letting her on the show….poor guy she’s not the full quid.
Teresa Dietle it’s all for extra added drama, if everyone was perfectly suited it would be too boring for a T.V.show..
She is definitely crazy 💯
Helena Mielke definitely unstable
Lara Elas something wrong definitely with her not right in her head
Needs serious help.
Poor guy
Run Ash she’s been eating or sniffing to much grass.
She is afruitloop
Jack likes her,he keeps looking at her
Ash you’re a good guy. Run don’t look back you’re safe if you RUN 🏃 RUN NOW
For the life of me I don’t understand the purpose of Maddy and Ash other then to make the experts look more incompetent
MAFS are calling for recruits for 2025 season what a joke the recruits are all playing the system for tv time and continue to right Stay to have air time
The purpose of MAFS has been lost This show must be axed
Lucinda her Dad and her Mum need a lounge room on google box
well that 2 minutes of air time will NOT resurrect her career, thank god for that, pathetic acting.
Ash looked like a deer in headlights the entire time! Poor guy, that was cruel. They need to match him up again, but this time with someone who’s not either acting or schizophrenic.
Kerrin Simpson I don’t reckon he would be up for a 2nd go on this show. Production have been very cruel to have done this to him…he appeared guenuine.
Lorraine Patterson he definitely appeared genuine and yes you’re right, this was cruel. There’s no way she would have had “normal” interviews with them surely? Unless of course she faked her way through them too.
Kerrin Simpson I can’t help but think she was planted for some different type of drama…it backfired dismally and then she wanted out!
Lorraine Patterson sure seems that way doesn’t it.
Its a wonder she didnt scare the crap out of those Cows Poor Ash i felt for him Very weird woman there
Shirley Dick loved your comment, gave me a good laugh.
Y aren’t the spirits talking to her while on the couch? Spirit doesn’t have an off and on button!!!!
Mary Wilczynski and none came to her at the dinner party
Trish De Pauw funny about that she is full of shit!!!!
Mary Wilczynski it is indeed
She is a nutter.😂
Run Ash and don’t look back
Poor Ash.
If the latest contestants (with the exception of a few) are the best the ‘experts’ could find out of the thousands that applied god knows what those knocked back were like.
i feel so sorry for him.. shes craaazzzyyt
So true Damien. What a loony bin
Why can’t they find him a new wife. He seems lovely.
JulieRoger Staunton Smith they will… just wait and watch ….
JulieRoger Staunton Smith I see he’s dating Nat that was matched with Collin’s and they looked so happy 😀
Pam Spraggon 0mg,so pleased for him.
JulieRoger Staunton Smith because they can’t do a good job. He is safer finding his own partner.
JulieRoger Staunton Smith yes Natalie would have been better
Poor lad
Get her of the show
Terry Barrile OFF
It’s a reality tv show where they pick the worst of the worst as “ experts’ never really watch it apart from the shorts on tv … just married at first shite
Biggest dud this year 😖😳
I feel sorry for this guy because she’s more interested in the Dead then the living. Maybe the professionals should have matched her with Casper the friendly Ghost 😞👻. I think he would have suited her better 🤣
She is just weird
He saw signs and opened up eyes!
Some one please throw this poor guy a lifeline. It’s painful to watch 🥴
Her acting was better when she was on ‘upper middle bogan’, just another paid acting job for her.
https://www.tiktok.com/@lennyak1234/video/7337596970283912456
She was a wack job! He dodged a bullet with her !
Run mate
Phew …you’re safe now Ash …you definitely dogged a bullet
Cheryl Burton she’s a nutbar and a complete embarrassment
I felt for this poor guy putting up with her I’m glad she’s of the show
There’s gotta be a circus out there that’s looking for a clown like Maddy, surely.. sign her up 🤡
I do hope all three experts??? Apologise to Ash for their biggest stuff up ever. He was made to look like a complete fool. The so called bride should be ashamed of herself her acting was disgusting don’t think she will get job offers after this🤬🤬
She belongs in the state mental hospital poor man
Poor guy
Fiona Watson not sure what you mean here? 🤷🏻♀️
Jaie Carey deer in the headlights
Fiona Watson oh ok
Looney 🤦♀️
Holy crap they’ve picked the odd balls this season
That seems unfair for him, hope he meets someone good soon 🌸🌸
Omg she needs serious help 🫣
No wonder she has lost most of her friends , I’d be running for the next bus lol
So glad he now has left show she needs medical help
Poor guy having to deal with that it’s like Mafs made a mock out of him genuinely seeking love
Feel sorry for him, shes a nut bomb.
🏃
Freddy Kruger is back
He needs to hook up with Natalie
She was a show seeker
Always including nut jobs on the show
She’s acting, very poorly.
Should have matched Ash with Nat
Poor bugger. She is next level insane
She should D ne’er been allowed to go in Te program because she was not a normal person from the word go the day she married that nice gentle guy
She was a WITCH 🧙
Wat a pile of ….
Poor guy, find him some one else.
Love ASH poor bugger he’s has no clue if this chick is for real or fulla . He displays total innocence 👍💯❤️Run ASH Run safety in hiding . 👍💯
Run Ash Run the experts should be ashamed of putting him with a crazy lady
She’s so weird. Poor Ash. Why do they do this
I read that Ash and Natalie have been hanging out. That would be great
A wanna be
Bring Nat back for Ash,poor guy
Anthea Spinks do you really watch this rubbish. I would rather watch grass grow 😂
Todd Cotterell hahaha, yep it’s trash at its finest 🤣 Elijah does too 😂
Watching grass grow is fun 😁
She should have worn a straight jacket as her wedding dress!!
What gives me the gripes is the nice people who are actually for real are paired with the worst drama/attention seeking famemongers I feel sorry for them and the so called proffessionals that thought to team them up in the first place
Did I read somewhere that produces let her leave due to her mental state she needs help mentally 🤷♀️
poor bugger
One word “PSYCO”
She was on Home and Away.
Hahaha Katie Jones poor guy 😂😂
Melissa Delfante absolutely
it is a good entertaining show, those that dont like it cant stay away from posts here to rubbish it.
Poor Ash!!!! Can’t imagine what this is going to do to her acting career 🙄😳😳😳
Poor Ash looks perpetually stunned lol
Wasn’t that a waste of everyone’s time
Wasn’t that a waste of everyone’s time
You seem like a lovely guy, she is a TOTAL FRUITLOOP!!! Best you got out when you did
What’s going on with the dresses on these girls On the show
She needs her mental health checked. That is not normal behaviour
Poor girl has a screw loose.
I wonder how much bo_tox is in theire lips a couple of then should start to quack because thiere lips look a duck’s beak
It’s all about the ugly side oops that’s the women
Poor Ash, that psychic chic is Psycho
These two ruined the show.
