Seven drops The Super Switch to one night a week amid poor ratings
After just two nights on air, Seven has already made the decision to drop a night of The Super Switch.
The show, which was airing Tuesday and Wednesday nights at 7:30pm, will now only air on Wednesday night. Next Tuesday will see a House Rules special air instead.
Its no good trying to split an existing market (in format terms). Following others means relegation to #2 all the time post 7.30pm. Therefore given the failures to date, SWM needs to appoint a post 7.30pm program director as a breakout. Even TEN is back in play post 7.30pm.
Gee ,and I’m a SWM shareholder
I am sick and tired of these so called reality shows, with wannabees trying to get into TV. Where do they find these people.
No one wants to see such rubbish on TV. WE HAVE HAD FAR TOO MANY OF THESE LOVED UP COUPLE SHOWS.
Please stop putting these shows on TV.
Many of these people are suffering personal trauma when these shows of over.
Teenagers and kids do not need to see this behaviour and think its normal.
Agree! 100%. It’s just a rubbish show. I won’t watch it.
How about some decent programs instead of this rubbish!!!!!!!
I absolutely agree, these shows are rubbish and immoral. Put some descent family shows on that help build people not tear people apart
Has Super Switch been dropped altogether, it was on late last Wednesday night but can’t find it anywhere listed for future shows?
You would have thought Ch.7 would have taken notice of the stupidity Ch.9 went thru, with Married at first sight, if that wasn trying to buy ratings, call it what you like, Ch.7 stay away from those type of shows.
I just saw the title and thought it was bold of Seven to put a financial planning show in prime time.
Another reason why VOD via Netflix/STAN/ETC are flourishing
Yes ch7 following ch 10 who follows ch9 15minutes of fame i agree Sandra where do they find these people talk about desperate bring back some good Aussie shows then ratings for all ch might pickup not rocket science
People have woken up to the fact that these shows are fake as, mafs showed us how scripted and set up the whole thing is! What a waste of our time, we genuinely wanted to see the work for rhe right reasons and ubfold naturally – we got a shitload of fake s#*t. People are directed and exploited and producers are wanting to exploit situations and blow them out of proportion just for ratings. Some of the participants just want to be on tv and are not on the show for the right reasons, its just a stepping stone to other things And to top it off, the so-caled experts are bloody useless and should be ashamed of themselves.
How can true love be found on a tv show! Why is it seen as entertainment , peoples lives being played with. Bring back All saints, city homicide, water rats some well written Australia drama
Ew no thanks. Would prefer super switch over any of those shows
People are flocking to Netflix, Stan and other streaming services to pay for scripted drama and the FTA networks strategy is to pump out exactly the opposite of what people want (and are paying for it).
Radical idea. FTA network buys exclusive right to blockbuster TV drama – runs it ad free in prime time for first run and in HD on their streaming ap.
Encores have ads.
I’d rather stab myself in the eyeball than watch this drivel masquerading as a show
It seems that the “feedback” message is getting stronger. Failure takes a long time and a lot of funding if you are willing to pursue it this way.
The pitching of revamped or rubber stamped low mentality has-beens from another society is the assiduity of the desperate, untalented and rating hungry individuals who have replaced what used to be called programmers and producers.
Great to see the Twitterati getting morally outraged about a show they haven’t even watched….
The SuperSwitch is NOTHING like MAFS or the Crapchelor. Having watched a couple of Eps on 7Plus, It is a fly on the wall experiment where real couples with problems are switched and then we get to see their journey in how they deal with their issues and the interplay among the “Switch” couples and the broader group.
I am not somebody who is usually into these sort of shows but i have really enjoyed what i have watched so far and think it is a shame that Seven havent kept the faith especially when it is up against dull mindless “Entertainment” like The Voice and Master Snooze…..
Completely agree Roughneck.
I can’t usually tolerate this kind of show but this one is definitely different with far more genuine ”characters” and moments in the first few eps.
Its a shame people have instantly written it off based on the promos.
I actually enjoyed the show and so did multiple friends and family members. Disappointed that it’s only on one day a week now. I’m a sucker for a reality dating show
I enjoyed this show and I’m disappointed I haven’t watched it for 2weeks now. What channel is it on so I can continue the excitement? I really miss the show. Last I saw they contestants went on vacations. Port Douglas and up north. PLS help me.
The final three episodes played tonight 31st July – Channel 7.
Just watched it – of course they are all staying together even though the editing showed that pretty much all of them still had the same issues as when they started in the show.
The couple Miranda and ? Have moved to Melbourne to build their dream home. She needs to be careful of him as he shows control
and jealousy issues big time – still even after the experiment concluded. He has taken her away to have her all to himself!! Warning signs there!
