Project viewers have sparked speculation that the show is “trying to get cancelled.”
Fans of the Network 10 show have taken to social media to share their theories as to why the show could be cancelled.
They have particularly expressed concern about the direction the show has taken after they aired a story about “smells that make you feel nostalgic” on Thursday night.
“Last night’s top story choice made me wonder if they’re trying to get themselves fired,” one viewer noted.
Another was curious about the nature of the story, to which another viewer replied: “Some nonsense about certain smells that make you feel nostalgic for past memories and experiences. The kind of magazine filler story you’d find on Studio 10.”
Speculation grew further when another fan suggested the show could be moving from a current affairs format to something more akin to Studio 10.
“Which makes me wonder: are they still trying to be a current affairs (news) show or are they slowly trying to transition into a Studio 10 type show? They used to do both very well when it first started. But lately, it just hasn’t been the same vibe,” they wrote.
Viewers have also noticed that the show’s format has changed significantly.

“Tonight we’re going to try a different opening. This time we’re going back to almost the old style, where they introduce the big stories at the beginning,” said one.
“What was different was that it was a quick introduction with Sarah highlighting two stories that came up and Sam highlighting a lighter one with some laughs thrown in. That was nice,” they continued.
“The weird thing was that after the first story they repeated one of those stories as ‘coming soon’. That was nonsense. It’s also weird that before the premiere they were discussing what had just happened on Deal or No Deal.”
This comes after Ten recently began a round of cost-cutting, axing both The Masked Singer and The Bachelors.
The future of the ailing network, owned by Paramount Global, is uncertain as it continues to lose TV shows amid declining ratings and an advertising revenue crisis, news.com.au reported.
In May, Dave Hughes and Osher Günsberg publicly confirmed that two of Channel Ten’s biggest reality shows, The Masked Singer and The Bachelor, had been axed by the network, which is in potential merger talks.
Channel 10 will also be suspended in two Australian states after the network’s broadcast ceased in a major city over the weekend.
Viewers of the Cadena 10 show have taken to social media to share their theories about why the show could be axed.
Ten stopped broadcasting live in Mildura, Victoria, at midnight on Sunday, sparking outrage among locals.
Network 10 does not own its regional stations and relies on joint venture distribution; Mildura Digital Television’s broadcasts ended due to rising costs.
Fears have now been raised over Ten’s future in Tasmania and the Northern Territory as broadcasters are making “difficult decisions” amid the challenging climate.
Ten’s The Project shared its fears that similar closures could occur across Australia with a domino effect.
Fans of the show have voiced their concerns about the direction the show has taken, with one viewer noting: ‘Last night’s top story choice made me wonder if they’re trying to get themselves fired.
The programme said the Northern Territory and Tasmania could be next in the firing line, along with areas of regional Western Australia.
“There are fears that Mildura is just the tip of the iceberg, and that similar outages could occur across Australia, threatening jobs and access to local content, news and sport,” the long-running panel said.
‘And next in the firing line? WA, the Northern Territory and the whole of Tasmania.’
