The sweet smelling Snato, Stan & Reg get to their sixth episode spectacular (second episode in high definition), reaching  the same 42,000 audience as last week, but this time via foot-cam, and 68,000 on glove box-cam for the weekend viewers who just woke up (It did start at 11:40pm on Seven).

Covering some motor racing, more cricket (don’t worry – Indian Summer DVD box set will fill the void), and “surprise!” NRL for the league fans, even Santo Cilauro puts in his nominations for the Schmeichel Award for complete anger management in soccer (which resembles the classic “Mike Gatting Goes F**K” competition).

If you weren’t distracted by Mark Bresciano‘s constant flood of tweets and another classic installment of Aussie Bronze, love-in segment Are They Gonna Pash?  returned, with a submission from the passionate darts tournament which led into slow-mo football and cricket man-on-man action. Former Track and Field turned Sports Commentator David Culbert joined the desk to give a rundown for olympic game qualifications on the field. With regular reporter Chris Jones being lured by Clive Palmer Unhinged perfume worn by Sam Pang, another segment Silky Skills showcased smooth playing by all sports, and the darts tournament was under the spotlight for We Watched It So You Didn’t Have To… if Sam couldn’t get past the silver norgs on the screen.Ed Kavalee clearly pointed out the OH&S issue with the sport.

The caucus votes are in.

It seems that the general public love the 8:30pm timeslot and a move to high definition television. So much so, that 42 000 people loved seeing Tanto, Tonto & Ted so clear and lifelike, it was almost they were in your living room.

It may seem lower-than-normal ratings, there was some stiff competition with Alcatraz, Revenge and the Oscars at the 8:30pm time slot. The HD channels only cover 1 – 3% of the ratings system. Not all regions in Australia have access to HD channels, yet alone a HD box (SD boxes do not pick up HD channels, unless they’re re-broadcasted on a secondary SD channel – just like ONE HD did a few years ago before SD channel ELEVEN came along). The replay on Channel 7 was around 81 000 viewers. (Thanks to TV Tonight for the insight.)

More cricket stabs were off the bat (pun intended) which was amusing as the Allan Border Medal was being shown on a rival channel. Highlights of an emotional good luck rugby game, anxiety in soccer, and even Socceroo player Mark Bresciano has dusted off his diary from Cup Fever! to give a Socceroo qualifier entry. Motor Racing legend Rick Kelly dropped in to have an indepth chat about the up and coming motor sport racing, and another Cup Fever! segment Who To? came back for some superb dodgy ball kicking. There was even a satellite cross to Jeremy “Rin” Lin in New York, in which Sam Pang mysteriously had to sneak out to see the Allan Border Medal updates.

A very funny installment to Sports Fever!, so if you miss the 8:30pm timeslot, the same episode repeats later on Channel 7 at roughly 11:30pm that night, if lucky. Always check out the Facebook page for updates and changes. Available also on Plus7 when you get a chance as well, 7 days within its broadcast.

Well done to Santo Cilauro, Sam Pang and Ed Kavalee for getting to their fourth episode on air at such a premium start of 10:46pm.

With the extra dosage of Channel 9’s cricket coverage, in which we can’t get enough of, and more soccer, we had some extra sports covered. This included tryouts for swimming in the olympics and even *gasp* some rugby league coverage.

There was also a special guest from Brisbane, Billy Knight, who appeared to be a doppleganger of a 1970’s Rob Sitch if he was in the adult business for bogans. An average 188,000 witnessed the runner-up for the Mud Fields Best False Moustache competition go his rants – in true champagne comedy style. The hallmarks of Graham and The Colonel were there, waiting to be shown (stop teasing us and bring them back, at least once! Maybe the final episode?? *nudge nudge*).

If you missed Santo continuously selling himself as an Italian for many a year, watch the replay on Plus7‘s site when it decides to work, or join in the convo on Sports Fever!’s Facebook page and Twitter @sportsfever7.
