Presumably, and sadly, there must be a significant enough audience to make it worthwhile.

As for risking their grey matter, I suspect they don't have all that much to risk!

They are going after a % of the Female audience, I reckon they won't even hit %3 total share in the overall ratings

I see there is a petition to try and get Four back from angry mothers who can no longer have tv4 babysit their kids 6 hours a day..

OMG my wife loves the channel.

I'm sure every time I enter the lounge I leave with less brain cells.

After being in the room for five minutes (and not even watching what's on the screen - the audio is bad enough) I've spent the rest of the night hiding out in the office nook on the computer.

I suppose the good news is I might get more done around the house in the evening - the bad news is I miss out on family time (no the kids might not be watching bravo but they're in the room doing other stuff)

Before you say I should just learn to switch off from it when I'm in the room and do something else - have you ever tried not thinking about elephants when someone tells you not to think about elephants?

As a female, I can categorically say there is absolutely nothing I find attractive about Bravo whatsoever. Although I can't imagine a lot of men watching most of the content either. And I think it's very sad there's no Sesame Street anymore. My son is way too old for that kind of thing, but when you're trying to get ready for work, being able to pop your kid in front of the TV for half an hour to get your hair and makeup done is a lifesaver. It's hard being a working Mum and sometimes you need a little extra help :o)

I'm thinking that 'Real Housewives of ______' might make a good torture device for ISIS members. No one could stay sane after a day or two of being forced to watch that kind of rot.
