Rove was very funny last night, deserves the high ratings.

He has his moments every now and again I think. The show is not as consistent as the first few years. I think the show still deserves to go on and I'm guessing its probably a little more dependant on the BB and Idol fans to tune in more then ever. alot of avid fans I know are now casual viewers and we don't usually anticipate it unless someone we really like is appearing or if we happen to catch it when flicking through channels.

I used to watch Rove a lot when it first came on air but i cannot stand the show these days. He isnt funny any more, the sight gags and silly faces have gone stale and he seems so far up himself its embarrasing.

^^ Indeed.

The show deserves the ratings it gets. I only watch the show when theres a decent guest on..which is hardly ever.

Can't stand him. And even when there's a guest on the show that I'd like to see, the questions that Rove asks are so cliche, I just don't bother anymore.

^ Same, except he hasn't had any good guests on for ages, the last time I watched a full show was when he had all the BB HM'S on, even that episode was crap. Since then I normally watch a little of the show but get bored and tune out.

TEN should have not re-newed the contract for next year, and instead went with the Kyle and Jackie O (Rove Live type) show that was mentioned in Zoo magazine last week. Kyle and Jackie have a great chemistry on air, and are hilarious at times (plus Jackie isn't a bad bit of eye-candy). I think that this show would appeal to a wider audience to.

Omg. Ten actually RENEWED the contract? Jeez.

Hell. No. Like their egos need to be bigger anyway  

Rove has just as big an ego.

Quoted Text

Rove has just as big an ego.

I don't think so.

Well put anniea. Very down to earth and I don't think his ego is oversized.
Today he must be feeling very very sad and unfunny given that his soul mate and wife has passed away.   Bless Rove and he and Belinda's families and friends.

Yeah. Confirmed by the news before: He will not be hosting the show this Tuesday.

Quoted from Seriously

Rove has just as big an ego.

Ego often conjures up negative thoughts.  Rove probably does have a big ego, but it's not necessarily a "dirty word"  (sorry for the pun  )

Very true Paula... and you know you meant the pun...hahahahahah!
I think in the context above ego was used in a derogatory way whereas the Dictionary says:

I wonder how his show will do now? Will the network and the general public feel sorry for him and let his show continue, even though it may not be any good? He coulnd't call it quits surely, entertainment is what he does. If a doctor looses his wife, he eventually returns to work.
