Seven had the top primary (19.5%) and network (29.2%) shares last night with Home and Away and Big Brother both leading the way for the broadcaster with 602,000 viewers apiece.
Big Brother was also #1 in all key demos as Christina and Ari won the nomination power once again.
They nominated Marley, SJ and Mary, thinking besties SJ and Mary wouldn’t vote for each other, so their numbers would count towards evicting the game’s most powerful threat, Marley
In the eviction ceremony, a passionate SJ discussed loyalty and ethics, stating she would not be voting for Mary after giving her word.
Mary had a different idea. Not one to be pushed into a corner, she chose strategy over emotion and stuck to her alliance with Marley, putting her vote on pal SJ.
But the final Hell Week twist meant SJ wasn’t going anywhere. Big Brother revealed the housemate with the most votes would actually become his Head of House and 2IC for the next few days, calling the shots from a private executive suite.
Given the option to take a second housemate with her, SJ chose the game’s greatest general, Daniel, proclaiming “It’s war now Danny, it’s war!”
The Hangover Part III followed as Seven concluded its three weeks Hangover marathon with 237,000 viewers tuning in for the final instalment.
