Nine won another close battle with Seven to be the top primary channel (22.4%) and network (29.6%) last night.
A Current Affair had 762,000 as the show covered the Covid-19 protests that have been happening in the city of Melbourne.
The Block was then the top non-news program of the night with 855,000. The episode saw Josh and Luke‘s battle for their outdoor bath continue, with the pair now lawyering up. Their hope was that he can help them find a way to keep their walls rather than build screens. The move wasn’t cheap with the lawyer charging between $450 and $700 an hour.
Nine then turned to its pairing of medical factual programming with Paramedics (319,000) and Kings Cross ER (138,000) airing back to back.
Seven
Home and Away had 620,000 and was then followed by SAS Australia with an audience of 606,000.
In SAS Australia, the recruits reached the halfway point of the course. Armed with an assault rifle, recruits advanced through unsecured territory, tasked with eliminating hostiles on a hostage rescue mission, a kill or be killed scenario in which the female recruits excelled.
Recruits then faced an extreme test of clarity of mind, as they submerged their bodies in a freezing pit of ice. Mark Philippoussis teetered on the edge of hypothermia, while Jessica Peris was frozen with fear.
Kerri Pottharst and Bonnie Anderson both decided to hand in their numbers.
RFDS then followed with its season finale which brought in an audience of 417,000 viewers.

The Project had 304,000 (6:30) and 492,000 (7:00pm) as the show discussed the protests in Melbourne heading into their third day, the earthquake that shooke several states, and then spoke to The Inspired Unemployed.
Making It Australia had 375,000 viewers as Stephanie’s high tea happy place had heart, it was deemed impractical and lacked quality finishes which led to her being sent home.
The winning space came from Fashion Designer Sai-Wai. Her rococo inspired, forest-bathing happy place included a bell for a butler to deliver fried chicken, a stunning paper book blowing in the breeze and bathrobes. Her pebbled floor floored the judges and saw her take home her first patch.
ABC
