Yeah they’ve said it won’t be 10 weeks like the old days. But didn’t ABC have more like 10 live shows as they had live resultsWhich if they’re following the ABC AI format are very blink and you’ll miss them. The 2022 series only had 5 live shows including the finale.

Yep, back from running a "hotel" for two months and am slowly slipping into my rtv groove! Haha!It definitely deserves better ratings! The production is pretty high quality! Not cheap and nasty BB style.
Last night was definitely better!
Hope you had a great off season Seph! Back and ready for these shows to dominate our lives again haha!

No one watches AI for the results shows.Yeah they’ve said it won’t be 10 weeks like the old days. But didn’t ABC have more like 10 live shows as they had live results
True but it helps the overall feel of the show for it to be done liveNo one watches AI for the results shows.
This is where The Voice has always failed for me aswell.Which if they’re following the ABC AI format are very blink and you’ll miss them. The 2022 series only had 5 live shows including the finale.
I think double eliminations to get from 12>10 and 10>8 is fine to get rid of the also rans a bit quicker but then it should be 6 weeks of shows with single eliminations in the final 8 stage.
I thought those boys were quite good...but I have to admit that I have a real soft spot for Coldplay and in particular Chris Martin.I can't wait for tonight.
If only to get past the irritating "I wanna dance with somebody" and "Yellow" boys who are hyped up in the ads every five minutes.
And Kyle's sob story.

That's officially BB VIP flop territory. 7 would be hoping for a big increase on Sunday night. If these ratings continue like this, I can't see 7 bringing Idol back next year unless they signed a multi year deal. Survivor is getting similar ratings over on 10 but at least it's doing well in the main demos (top 5 in all 3).

Too many talent reality shows on TV, suffering overload in that regard!
Australian Idol is good nostalgia for those of us who watched it on Ten in the early 2000s, but the big negative for me this time round is the judging panel - Kyle Sandilands you either love or hate, and I'm in the hate category where he's concerned. Meghan Trainor's basically there to promote her comeback album, Amy Shark and Harry Connick Jnr are the bright spots there for me.
The talent pool in Australia isn't deep, I'm sceptical that the overall eventual winner would go on to have a long lasting career like Guy Sebastian or Shannon Noll, but time will tell on that one.
The ratings would be a big concern for Seven too, struggling to get past Survivor into 2nd place, and Survivor will always beat Idol on demos and catch up TV figures.

I do agree. A couple of good voices tonight tho.The calibre of singers is just not good enough for Australia Idol.
That being said, I am really enjoying it.
