Uber drivers, Gumtree ads and grocery bundles were subjects on A Current Affair with 782,000 watching after the Monday public holiday audience of 754,000.
The second episode of Buying Blind saw the experts Shaynna, Marshall and Rich helping Lis and Ali into their first family home. Episode two did 554,000 after 609,000 on debut last week.

The Project ended spectacularly with Maude Garrett trying to coax the stars of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom into giving her their dinosaur impersonations. All the stars wanted to see was Maude doing hers – and she was good. The episode did 580,000.
Another day of MasterChef saw the episode start and end in a car park at Mount Lofty House with an immunity challenge that saw another pin awarded. This time Khanh (pictured above) was a clear winner against the celebrity chef with both cooks trying to present a dish with Vegemite a key ingredient. The judges then gave what must have been close to the lowest scores ever for a professional chef in an immunity challenge on the show. The episode did 886,000, was #1 overall after 7pm and cleaned up in the key demos.
Shark Tank then did 614,000 with the interplay between the Sharks again often as intriguing as the pitches from the entrepreneurs. First up was Victorian husband-and-wife team Glen and Julie-Anne Mayer, who were seeking $120,000 for a 12% share in their baby bottle business, Subo. Steve jumped in with the first offer, agreeing to the full amount and stake the couple pitched.
