Seven
After two nights over 650,000, the Wednesday instalment of Home and Away was on 654,000.
Lynne and Simon hosted the contestants at their Gold Coast Instant Hotel on episode nine, which did 611,000. Among the unspectacular numbers at 7.30pm, Instant Hotel was the clear leader 25-54.
A double episode followed of The Secret Daughter with 530,000 watching the first episode and then 444,000 catching the second on the penultimate night for the show ahead of a double episode farewell next week. Seven can justifiably call it Australia’s favourite drama when you factor in the national audience, which boosted episode one last night to 921,000.
Nine
A Current Affair started with revenge porn and then ended with kids clothing bargains. The midweek episode did 679,000 after two nights close to 760,000.

Nine then went with a midweek movie – 2015’s Jurassic World – with 395,000 watching.
TEN
Yassmin Abdel-Magied was back in Australia and on The Project where she likened her time in this country to being in a abusive relationship. Later on in the show Matt Preston was spruiking a new cook book. It was 7.29pm when Preston arrived and he seemed to be aware he wouldn’t have long to motivate buyers. The midweek episode did 465,000.
Jamie’s Super Food was a 7.30pm food alternative that fewer people chose with 303,000 watching.
