RoveFeed had a chance to interview Rove, in association with RoveOnline, this is the third installment of the interview, focusing on the move to Sunday Nights in 2007.
I asked him how did the move get brought to his attention and what his reaction was.
It was pretty much, uh, the first option, which was – this is what we think. What do you guys think? No one will see it coming, it will be, a bit of a gamble but we will stick with it, which is what Ten do very well, to say look this is what we are planning on doing, we’ll stand by you and we are not expecting too much in the early goings.
He continued by explaining the unexpected consequences of the move that made him happy not having to interview certain reality stars anymore.
[...] we think its just a nice way to reset, and they were looking at having, a live night because thats not what everyone else had at the time, so going straight through from think at the time, from Biggest Loser to Big Brother into us, so it was just live from start to finish and to be honest for me it was I didn’t have to have Big Brother housemates on anymore [laughs] and I sort of say that as a bit of a joke but seriously I was over it by that stage and and it obviously meant there was no point because someone had just been evicted before us and interviewed by Gretel, and so you wouldn’t have then had last weeks evictee on your show afterwards because it was old news, so it just meant, negated it all together and I was really happy with all that.
In the next installment of the interview we focus on the constant timeslot changes.
