Perhaps they were just up to their usual trick of treating what little audience they have left with contempt. There wasn't much else worth watching last night, so we tuned in to <i>Rove</i> - nice work at the swimming - very meta!

I think this is a very smart move by Nine - why not take advantage? You always say that it's all about the ratings, and Nine know damn well what a good number of viewers will be watching at 8.30pm.
