Quoted from kiwi

I like the seachange one

Paula, on the biggest loser, one man has lost like 11kg in 2 or 3 months, that isn't unhealthy weight loss.

11 kg in 3 months is in the healthy range.  In less time than that it's not.  I've lost 8.3 in 4 weeks and am being told I need to slow it a bit.  

Lol if you don't feel unhealthy then it's a good thing? Well done
I have started running so I can get fit and I lost 2 kg in 1 week Well maybe only 1. But I don't want to lose any. Oh well I see muscles in my leg

* The Biggest Loser seems to be a little more consistant these days, should start to build it audience every week from now on I would say.
* It Takes Two building for Seven, which is obviously what has prompted Nine to move Terminator to 9.30 and put yet another Ramsey's Kitchen show in at 8.30. Woman's Murder Club is also down for Ten, but not as bad as Terminator and could yet pick up.
* Seven's Wednesday is a winner (although they did not win one demographic, just the 50+ audience took them over the line). Underbelly is sustaining its audience, but not being on in Melbourne is helping House keep reasonable numbers. I wonder how NCIS will do in that slot in a few weeks?
* Thursday is a mess for Seven, their line-up post 8.30 is doing REALLY badly. Nine's Thursday is consistant and Ten's is also (if you ignore Saving Kids ).

I like seachange but not more than house :O home and away beat house, ew too many bogans in aus. What is the full story with underbelly and melb?

This may be a stupid question but ive never known the answer...

How are the television ratings actually calculated? Like how do they get the number of viewers?

Nice to see Nine ahead with only saturday to go. Can they win their second week? We hope so! At the very least Nine will probably win their third week in a row in 25-54 and if Seven scrape a win this week it will be thanks to their traditional 50+ demographic. The oldies love Seven

I like the seachange one

Paula, on the biggest loser, one man has lost like 11kg in 2 or 3 months, that isn't unhealthy weight loss.

I was just reading back here, and a woman tonight had lost like a billion kilos in one week.  Okay it was like 7 kilos, and I think it was a week, but if you look at last season for example, the winner was just really huge when it began, and he was a stick figure at the end of the season, which isn't a long season.  I swear up and down they must be giving these people some kind of detox treatment that we aren't seeing because it does seem very risky to lost as much as they do as fast as they do.

Ew Chris lost way too much
