Seven TV Ratings
Seven was the top primary channel last night with a share of 20.8% and was also the top network with 28.9%
Home and Away was the highest rating non-news show last night with 650,000 tuning in to the soap opera.
Big Brother then had 568,000 as Christina won the nomination challenge and sent Ari, Danny and Sid into the second chance battle, with Danny surviving.
SJ held the deciding vote between Ari and Sid and chose to save the former.
“This is nuts, I can’t believe I’m leaving,” said Sid. “That’s the way the cookie crumbles. I’d taken a shot at Danny and it didn’t quite hit. I was happy to take Tilly out, his best mate, and ever since then he’s been gunning for me, seeking revenge. The best man won and unfortunately it wasn’t me. You’ve got to fight to the very end. I made the best pitch I could but you’ve got Ari who is a reformed person in the house. If I’m a betting man, I’d say Marley will make final three, Christina as a wild card and maybe Ari. Fingers crossed Danny misses out.”
Big Brother was #1 in the 16-39 key demo while Seven News topped both 18-49 and 25-54.
Deadpool 2 then followed with 290,000.
