Seven
Home and Away was on 653,000. Its week 35 audience average was 598,000 after 631,000 in week 34.
There were some great characters pulled over during Highway Patrol and you can help feeling sorry for some of them. However many are better off the road than on it. The episode did 492,000 which wasn’t enough to stop it ranking fourth in the slot. It was followed by Motorbike Cops on 477,000.
The Rookie then did 399,000 followed by S.W.A.T. on 255,000.
Nine
A Current Affair caught a social media predator in a special episode with 805,000 watching. The week 35 average audience was 745,000 after 742,000 in week 34.
The Block got underway with Bedroom Week, which is already causing havoc among the teams. Tonight on the show some of the former stars of earlier seasons will be paying a visit. The Monday episode did 906,000 after 918,000 a week ago.
Nine then surrendered first place as This Time Next Year took second place with its audience of 588,000 after 655,000 last week.
Footy Classified did 131,000 in AFL metro markets with 84,000 in Melbourne.
10
The primary channel narrowly outrated Nine as #1 25-54 and other key demos last night.
The Project started its weeknight run under half a million with 475,000, which just got it into the top 20. The week 35 average for the 7pm half hour was 459,000 after 448,000 in week 34.
Australian Survivor featured Pia winning her first challenge, which gave her immunity during the vote for the second visitor to Exile Beach. That ended up being Simon much to the surprise of Janine and Pia who will be in damage control tonight. The episode was just under 800,000 after the Monday and Tuesday episodes last week pushed just above 800,000.
Have You Been Paying Attention? continues to deliver for 10 with a timeslot win as regulars Ed and Sam were joined by Marty Sheargold, Abby Coleman and Anne Edmonds. The episode was way ahead of any competition with 747,000, down a little from last week’s 788,000.
10 calculated the audiences for the episodes of Survivor and HYBPA? screened a week ago grew to 1.06m and 1.25m respectively with encore screenings, timeshift and BVOD.
ABC
