Yeah, it's still going. I've missed a few episodes as well.

Been watching Ultimate Tag the last few nights. It's not too bad IMO.

It's kinda like a reinvisioned Gladiators, or at least that's what it reminds me of and especially with the random names for the "expert taggers/chasers"

Regular television does impress me here though.

Just when you think they've found the most untalented and least funny presenters, they always raise (or lower) the bar.

My TV is connected to two things.

My PS4 (which bricked two days before PS5. Suss as)

Chromecast for Netflix, Amazon, Optus etc.

Don’t even have the ability to watch FTA as most of it is utter crap. Would axe the ABC if it were up to me. SBS I don’t mind as it caters to minority language programs and gives them a platform.

Didn't have the FTA antenna hooked up for a couple of years but then had to plug it in for last years Grand Final.
Then unplugged it. Put it back in to see what Mafs is then unplugged it again couple of nights ago.
Kind of like you just have the Xbox with a chrome cast plugged into it.

Yeah, but they have more taggers than they had gladiators - I think they have about a dozen male and a dozen female taggers.

One of the taggers has such a big nose, I think if he was to sniff in close proximity to a contestant he'd be able to capture a tag.

I don't mean to harp, but who the f**k works for these networks? And how do they have a job?
Where did they come from?
Imagine sitting around a table coming up with ideas and a Weakest Link reboot with f**king Magda is the best idea that comes up?
Seriously? That was the best one.

55% of free to air tv must be Australian made, the only thing cheaper to make than reality tv are gameshows, no writers, few actors to pay. By recycling an old concept you don't have to pay someone to come up with a new concept or design a new aesthetic. Magda wouldn't be that pricy either.

How do you damage vertebrae whilst being spineless. Some feat.

Well there you go. Cheers.

Perhaps they spun the wheel for a host and someone scored the 'fat - untalented - unfunny' trifecta?

The first time I did ok.
The second time I chased it and lost pretty bad. Bought at 150 and went down to 90 overnight and I sold.
Now its over 240 again.
This is my 3rd run on Amc though. Its done me well. Still have a 6.50 average.
This is the last time though. Too stressful doing this short squeeze shit.
