In trying to slow-cook the ratings 10 left viewers fatigued and younger fans missed out, as Nine’s Geek and Weakest Link sink.
Home and Away (635,000) ticks up ever so slightly on last night, though Farmer Wants A Wife (632,000) dips ever so slightly. A double episode of US drama The Rookie (275,000; 222,000) rounds out Seven’s night.
Seven first in both primary (18.4%) and network (26.3%) rankings.
Well, it’s been sometime since this happened – 10 second for the night in primary channel shares! The Project (328,000 6:30pm; 503,000 7pm) dips, even as the lead-in to the second part finale of MasterChef Australia (824,000 show; 931,000 winner announced). Why did it go on for so long? It was part two for crying out loud! At least the numbers were good for 10 so we’ll never not see this happen again. A double repeat NCIS (230,000; 135,000) runs out the schedule.
10 second in primary (17.4%) and third in network (23.5%) rankings.
A Current Affair (779,000) draws eyeballs for a story on Not Manu™, and Beauty and the Geek (577,000) slips further for Nine, and that puts it in a very distant fourth in the slot! Is is their Holey Moley? It looked like The Weakest Link (253,000)
would be an even though it crashes to the lowest figures this season the episodes are improving. The horse may have bolted. The repeat of another Kath & Kim Kountdown (175,000)–up somehow on last week–sends the few remaining viewers off to bed.
Nine third in primary (16.7%) and second in network (25.9%) rankings.
7:30 (630,000) and Ms Represented (583,000) land third in the slot as a double. Cracking COVID (336,000) picks up a reasonable audience, and Our Dawn (184,000) rounds out the ABC’s entertainment night.
ABC fourth in both primary (11.3%) and network (15.6%) rankings.
SBS deliver Grant Denyer into Who Do You Think You Are? Australia (271,000), and then it’s all eyes on Tour de France live (stage 16) (183,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (6.5%) and network (8.7%) rankings.
