Nine won last night with a primary share of 22.1% and a network share of 31.8%. One of the main reasons for this win was Lego Masters which was the top non-news program with 767,000 viewers. The show was also #1 in all key demos.
On last nights episode, Anthony and Jess got a one hour head start after winning the first challenge of the night as the teams were tasked with building and racing a car, except all the wheels and tires and been taken out of the brick pit.
The elimination challenge was for the teams to build their dream house. With three hours to go a twist was added – they had to include a nightmare in the dream house. Gabby and Ryan won after building a mansion where the parents got to relax and sleep on one side while the kids played on the other. The nightmare they added was an ice cream truck, so all the kids had ice creams and were going wild.
Anthony and Jess’ head start didn’t help as they were eliminated from the show for a second time.
Earlier in the day, the NRL had 237,000 as the St George Illawarra Dragons defeated the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs.

Big Brother had 531,000 viewers as the Big Red Button was introduced into the game, with pushing it bringing either punishment or reward.
Tilly won the nomination challenge and nominated SJ, Sid and safe vote Mitchell, but when the Big Red Button was activated, Nick made the mistake of removing Mitch from the game (temporarily) by having him placed in a cage above the house.
With Mitch unable to scramble for votes, SJ and Sid were able to secure enough votes to avoid elimination and send Mitch home.
“I don’t know what happened while I was up in that cage,” said Mitch. “Danny, Nick and Mel are goners if they don’t win challenges. I think the date last night was the highlight for sure. I actually did really like Christina.”
Afterwards was Crime Investigation Aust: Most Infamous which focused on Leonard John Fraser and his rape and murder of a nine-year-old girl in Rockhampton. The episode had 254,000 viewers.
Earlier in the day, the AFL had 407,000 viewers as the broadcaster aired The Western Bulldogs versus the Carlton Blues, while the Brisbane Lions facing the Fremantle Dockers aired in the Brisbane market.

On MasterChef, 567,000 tuned in as Wynona went home after she missed the brief she was given and her cucumber wasn’t cool enough to impress the judges.
The contestants were presented with a challenge to develop a dish based on one of three classic food sayings; “as cool as a cucumber”, “bring home the bacon” or “the proof is in the pudding”.
Wynona’s dish landed furthest from the mark, as it was not refreshing, and it was clear that the cucumber granita was an afterthought.
On The Sunday Project, 269,000 (6:30 pm) and 409,000 (7:00 pm) watched as the show discussed a Covid quarantine shakeup, and previewed the federal budget.
