Seven has continued its hot streak with the top primary (35.8%), network (50.7%) and multichannel (11.0%) share last night, a feat the broadcaster has achieved for every night of the Olympics so far.
Some of the notable events that helped drive these ratings included the Opals comeback win, the Matilda’s semi-final loss, and the 62 yeard old Andrew Hoy winning two medals in equestrian events.

Nine
On Nine Beauty and the Geek had 519,000 viewers as the show got down to the final three teams.
The final challenge showed what the team had learned by the Geeks going speed dating, and the beauties played Dungeons & Dragons.
The top two teams were Lachlan and Kiera and George and Josie. That meant they were safe from elimination and straight through to the Grand Finale.
Sam and Aira, James and Jess and Alexander and Eliza then had to compete for the remaining Grand Finale spot in a challenge called Chain Reaction, where the pairs were chained to each other on top of rolling platforms and had to unlock 10 different padlocks one at a time. The 10 keys were hung from the ceiling but weren’t numbered according to their matching padlocks.
Alexander and Eliza showed superior teamwork and focus and were able to secure the last spot in the finale.
An episode of Botched followed, bringing in 213,000 viewers.
Footy Classified had 62,000.

The episode had 603,000 viewers which was down on last Monday’s 627,000
Have You Been Paying Attention? followed with 477,000 as the show was joined by Glenn Robbins, Marty Sheargold, Anne Edmonds and Kitty Flanagan.
