Nine
Nine has continued its winning streak by claiming both the #1 primary share (21.3%) and network shares (30.9%) last night.
The Block was once again the top non-news program of the evening after bringing in an audience of 901,000 which was down on last week’s 928,000.
The episode saw Kirsty and Jesse and Tanya and Vito both forced to send labourers home due to shrinking budgets. Both teams were offered a helping hand, however, Foremen Keith and Dan‘s assistance at House 5 sparked anger from other contestants. Landscaper Dave Franklin‘s attempt at supporting House 3 also resulted in an awkward confrontation that resulted in Vito threatening to walk off.
Love Island Australia then followed with 239,000. The episode saw Emily Ward in tears after AFL player Mitch Hibberd revealed he no longer wanted to pursue a relationship with her and instead was interested in Tina Provis.
A repeat of Travel Guides then took 138,000 viewers to Vietnam.
Seven
Home and Away continues to provide Seven with a strong base at 7pm with the Aussie soap bringing in an audience of 582,000.
This was followed by the final episode of SAS Australia: Hell Week with 328,000 viewers tuning in. The episode saw the six civilian recruits go through the final two days of the selection process. Phase one demanded a cat crawl race along a 30-metre rope, suspended 50 metres above ground on the edge of a cliff face. Isabella’s blatant display of disrespect saw all six recruits punished with a sickener, the worst type of beasting there is, which only ends when somebody quits. Despite Isabella’s actions causing the brutal thrashing, it was Mitch who was first to VW after two hours, sacrificing himself for the good of the group. As her fellow recruits questioned Isabella’s integrity, the final five then bared their souls in an honesty test, telling each other the one thing they’re most ashamed of in their lives.
The last morning of the seven-day condensed course saw recruits tackle a variety of difficult obstacles on a two kilometre circuit. Isabella struggled, falling behind the other recruits, but her stubbornness to not withdraw only made the others suffer more. Chief Instructor Ant Middleton eventually told Isabella she was out of time and took her number, culling her from the course himself.
The four remaining recruits then faced their final mission: working in pairs, they had to jump from a helicopter into enemy territory, then – navigating their way with a map – find a cache of equipment, before completing a difficult hostage rescue scenario in a cabin filled with crippling tear gas.
Sarah and her partner James C were unable to complete the task, let down by James’ hesitation, while James F and Luke successfully rescued the hostage.
After one of the tightest deliberations the DS have ever had, Ant revealed that Sarah and James F had passed selection, with the other two lacking that tiny bit at the end to get them over the line.
