I mean…come on team…

Nine again lean a little too heavily on A Current Affair (624,000) as their best post-News. Australian Ninja Warrior (455,000) slips again after Monday’s premiere (just as well it’s short, sharp run) and is followed by a reliable repeat of Travel Guides (263,000). The late night splits between Chicago Med (60,000) and Footy Classified (83,000 MEL/ADL/PER).
Nine first in both primary (20.2%) and network (29.9%) rankings.

Home & Away (433,000) slides a little on last week as Big Brother Australia (320,000) slips slightly on last night but draws about the same as last week. Unbelievable Moments Caught on Camera (112,000) and Ramsay’s 24 Hours to Hell and Back (50,000) fill various slots as early or late The Front Bar (256,000 (163,000 MEL)) delivers a loyal audience.
Seven second in both primary (17.6%) and network (25.2%) rankings.

A solid lift for the ABC as 7:30 (555,000) and Gruen (524,000) pair up to land second in primetime (again). At the same time The Weekly with Charlie Pickering (452,000) and You Can’t Ask That (285,000) pair to win the later slot too. Repeats of Would I Lie To You? (186,000) and Girl Like You (39,000) run into the late night.
ABC third in primary (13.6%) and fourth in network (17.6%) rankings.

The Project (230,000 6:30pm; 372,000 7pm) continues on its usual track, however MasterChef Australia (559,000) picks up to boost morale somewhat with another primetime win. Five Bedrooms (238,000) offers not much in the later night, landing third in the timeslot. A repeat of Bull (117,000) and new ep of Good Sam (51,000) seem to draw a small but dedicated audience.
10 fourth in primary (12.2%) and third in network (19.1%) rankings.

Tony Robinson: WWII by Drone (165,000) slides up for SBS, though both Why Buildings Collapse (127,000) and a repeat of New York Super Airport (58,000) slide down on last week.
SBS fifth in both primary (4.7%) and network (8.2%) rankings.
