• Twin brothers Alex and Jack quit The Amazing Race due to mental health
Holey Moley saw a dip from its premiere episode going down from 983,000 to 737,000 but the show was still comfortably the top non-news show for the evening and was #1 in all key demos. And Seven won the night with a primary share of 21.3% and a network share of 29.6%.
The episode saw garbo Mark Duncan bag the Holey Moley plaid jacket and golden putter – and a place in the Grand Final.
Duncan snatched victory after defeating Jasmine Finlay and Michelle Natoli in a three-way putt off on bath time’s biggest hit, Putter Ducky, for his chance to putt for $100,000 on Greg Norman’s top-secret Grand Final hole, the Tomb of Nefer-Tee-Tee.
Brand new Holey Moley holes Surf N’ Turf and Putter Ducky also shared the limelight with Australia’s cheekiest, trash-talking puppet Agro, who put in a solid performance on The Distractor.
Holey Moley was followed by The Good Doctor which returned for its fourth season with 415,000 viewers.
Nine’s Travel Guides improved on the 584,000 that it had last Tuesday as the guides visited the Whitsunday islands. This was followed by a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? prime time special that saw KIIS FM’s Will and Woody win $64,000 for charity.
