A Current Affair had 752,000 as the show covered the businesses and families left struggling through Sydney’s extended lockdown.
Despite Zak Stolz winning Australian Ninja Warrior on Tuesday night, the franchise wasn’t done for the year yet with Nine airing Australian Ninja Warrior Record Breakers. For the first time the Ninjas competed head to head on a unique Record Breakers course, taking on the Rising Mega Warped Wall, Ferocious Ferris Wheel, Sprinting Steps Showdown, Soaring Sonic Shelf Grab and Super Salmon Ladder, to set their own records.
The show featured a total prize pool of $90,000 and the record-breaking Ninjas received $15,000 for each obstacle win. The special managed to bring in a strong 659,000 viewers.
The first Wallabies Test match under the new TV rights deal with Nine and Stan Sport brought in 323,000 viewers to 9Gem powering the station to a 5.3% share, making it the top multichannel for the night.
The rugby pushed Wimbledon to 9Go! where it had 118,000 between the multichannel and the primary channel, while Footy Classified had 69,000.
Seven
Home and Away continued to be a great opening act for 7:30 tentpole programming with 657,000 viewers tuning in to the soap.
Farmer Wants a Wife then had 685,000 viewers as the drama from the ute muster continued to smoulder while romantic one-on-one dates revealed untapped chemistry.
Unable to move past the night of the ute muster, Andrew asked Lucy to leave the farm. “I do leave the farm with a bit of heavy heart because conversations could have been had and communication could have been better,” said Lucy. “Everything could have been very, very different.”
Farmer Rob farewelled 44-year-old retail assistant, Jodi, and 45-year-old forensic criminologist, Shannon, saying he is only interested in serious relationships at this point in his life. Farmer Sam farewelled 21-year-old customer service worker, Dayna, and Farmer Matt asked 24-year-old aged care nurse, KJ, to leave as he didn’t feel they had a strong enough connection.
Sensing she was sitting in the friend zone with Farmer Will, Caitlyn decided to leave the farm.
The Front Bar had 330,000 as Santo Cilauro stood in for Mick Molloy.
10
The Project had 304,000 (6:30pm) and 465,000 (7:00pm) as the show covered the extended Sydney lockdown and how big business could help the vaccine rollout.
MasterChef had 603,000 as Pete and his oysters won a spot in the MasterChef grand final.
ABC
Shaun Micallef’s Mad as Hell had 500,000 as the show skewered Chinese officials reacting to the Covid outbreak. However because all the actors are white, the show didn’t want to have them pretend to be Chinese – instead they all dressed up and spoke like Woody Allen to represent “things we used to like but now really don’t”.
Win the Week continues its backwards slide in the ratings with 490,000 in week one, the second episode bringing in 405,000 last week, and now 345,000. The show had big shoes to fill taking the time slot of Hard Quiz.
