No football, no nothing, it was a night to endure — even Gogglebox (942,000) was feeling the end of year ennui. The brief sweep through the AFL and NRL grand finals in its final ep for 2020 demanded a little more comment.
But the Goggleboxers’ reactions to the Seven reality program SAS Australia were spot on — WTF, horror, offense — and might help explain to the dills at Seven why 20% of the original debut audience haven’t returned.
The series greenlights bullying of the most gratuitous and atrocious kind. Those contestants are not doing themselves any favours for allowing their names to be associated with it.
Gogglebox (the most watched non-news program) followed another ep of the interminably dull The Bachelorette (581,000). That means 361,000 extra viewers (more than half the Blondettes’ audience) tuned in to watch Gogglebox. Big message there, Ten. Nine ran The Block (it was the normal Wednesday ep pushed out a night by Sunday’s NRL Grand Final). It managed 925,000 — eaten by Gogglebox.
Meanwhile in breakfast, Sunrise led with 481,000 national and 282,000 metro viewers (the highest for some weeks); Today had 324,000 and 231,000, while ABC News Breakfast averaged 313,000 and 212,000 (also its best morning for several weeks.

There are a few useful insights Eva (and a considerable improvement in compensation to your recent article regarding women in management) but, overall, a sense of precision is distinctly absent.
It would have been useful to have provided something of a definition of feminism; perhaps citing some notable observations (not necessarily consistent) over the decades or at least from WW2.
A remark, by way of ‘compare and contrast’ with developments in the USA, female Trump supporters, the erosion of Roe v. Wade, developments in Poland and compare with (e. g.) France WOULD have been useful too.
As quasi eulogy of former players don’t ‘cut it’ in terms of either contemporary issues (the ‘trans’ or gender-change stuff – extending to the military : read Greer) or in terms of the obvious inherent contradictions of quasi post modernist assertions.
Ergo, ‘sloppy’ is an appropriate adjective for the article – I’m sorry to say but it is the standard that seems to be encouraged by the publisher.
sorry : wrong place. It was a long night.
