It happens every time: Post World Cup Let Down Syndrome. You go looking for the schedule of games, and there’s none! Then there’s the rest day hiatus syndrome on the Tour de France — thankfully sanity will be restored by the first of the mountain stages in the Alps tonight. And then you are forced to confront your TV devils — will it be MasterChef, House Rules, Australian Ninja failures, or Have You Been Paying Attention — the latter is at least amusing. Nine won the night in total people and the demos. Ten did well, Seven hung in there.
