Nine had a dominant Sunday night with a 29.2% primary share and a 36.0% network share, which were both comfortably clear of its closest competition
The result was thanks in large part once again to Married at First Sight which had 1.127m tune in, the show’s best result for the year. The episode featured a dinner party that was minus the drama lighting rod of Bryce and Melissa but featured the Honesty Box which brought a healthy serving of drama to the night.
MAFS was followed by 60 Minutes which had 830,000 viewers. The episode featured a special investigation by Nick McKenzie exposing one of the nation’s dirtiest secrets and how an inexcusable failure of the justice system led to a father’s shocking crimes against his own children.

Kyly Clarke top-scored with 33 points thanks to a highly electric jive to Candyman that Todd Mckenney said was “incredible, absolutely incredible”. Hot on Kyly’s feet was Bec Hewitt, who scored a 31 for her beautiful foxtrot, leaving Paul Mercurio a little “teary” and feeling goosebumps.
Fifi Box’s cha cha to Murder On The Dancefloor saw judges criticise her routine for being “messy” and “missing the mark”. As a result, Fifi placed at the bottom of the leaderboard with a score of 22, being the first eliminated celebrity.
The final scores were:
Kyly Clarke and Gustavo Viglio – 33
Bec Hewitt and Craig Monley – 31
