It was also #1 in every key demo. Once again, it fulfilled its promise to be the noisiest show on social media, trending #1 in Australia and #5 worldwide. The show had an explosive start last night and we can’t wait to share more of what Paradise has to offer in the coming weeks, starting tonight with one of the most anticipated moments of the season – when Richie Strahan and Alex Nation go head to head.”
