WTF is this!? All the things?! AT ONCE?! Ratings are all go again and don’t the commercial networks know it. There’s SEVEN new shows starting this week they’ve all been plugging to death over the past months and now, all at the same time, they release them into the wild. There’s still another 10 coming! Time to buy that 16 tuner PVR you’ve been putting off for… because as far as the commercial channels are concerned, it’s game on bitches.

Dancing With The Stars, The Block & Celebrity Apprentice Australia are my picks of the new reality shows springing forth this week.
Titanic (aka “Drownton Abbey”) finally launches on Wednesday night, and it’s pretty good – not great, but still worth catching. There’s only four episodes for the series so get involved from the start.
