The Block had 609,000 viewers as The Fan teams competed against the Faves teams in the first challenge of the season, creating outdoor areas for Bayley House, which supports adults living with disabilities.

But things got awkward when one team misheard judge Shaynna Blaze announcing the result.

“For me today everyone met the brief but one more than other, and actually, they took it to another level, I think, and really knocked it out of the park. So for me today’s winner of $10,000 for this very first challenge is the Fans,” Shaynna announces.

Confusion erupted as Ronnie and Georgia started cheering and dancing. 

“No, no, no the Fans,” Shaynna and Shelley shouted.

The episode was up on last Tuesday’s 591,000.

On The Hundred with Andy Lee, after a two-year absence since their last TV appearance together, Perfect Holiday, Hamish Blake joined Andy on the show alongside comedians Mike Goldstein and Becky Lucas.

During the show, the pair tried to settle a 20-year debate once and for all. Taking it to “The Hundred”, they asked which Twisties flavour is better, Andy’s cheese flavour or Hamish’s chicken flavour.

The episode had 390,000 viewers which was up on last week’s 347,000.

A repeat of Travel Guides then took 203,000 viewers to India.

The Project had 321,000 (6:30pm) and 515,000 (7:00pm) as the show covered the optimistic vaccine rates in New South Wales.

On Survivor, 689,000 tuned in as challenge beast Emmett went home after failing to eliminate the ‘Bankstown Cockroach’ George. Ultimately, Hailey and Wai broke away from the agreement to eliminate George because they thought it was best for their individual games to eliminate Emmett while he didn’t have individual immunity.

The Cheap Seats then followed with 321,000.

ABC

Back to Nature had 253,000 as the show took viewers to  South Australia’s Mount Lofty Ranges. 

SBS
