The Block: Glasshouse struggles to lift as Ten’s new Jamie Oliver show comes fifth in 7.30pm slot
The Block: Glasshouse failed to find a big lift last night after dropping below a million viewers against the finale of Masterchef on Monday night, coming second to Seven’s the X Factor in the 7.30pm ratings battle.
Nine’s returning reality show got 1.002m viewers, making it the sixth show of the night overall, while Seven’s singing contest pulled in 1.107m, but was still down on last week’s 1.16m viewers despite the absence of Masterchef from the timeslot.
Hamish & Andy’s South American Gap Year also suffered a drop last night for Nine from last week’s season high after being moved to the later 8.30pm timeslot, getting 987,000 metro viewers according to OzTam preliminary overnight ratings. However the show did top all the demographics ahead of The Block and X Factor.
In place of its cooking show which finished on a high on Monday Ten ran Jamie Oliver’s new series Save with Jamie which got just 441,000 viewers at 7.30pm losing in the timeslot to SBS’ Who do You Think You Are, which saw 471,000 people tune in to see Richard Roxburgh’s family history. ABC’s 7.30 (651,000) and Foreign Correspondent (616,000) ensured Jamie was relegated to fifth place for the timeslot
Welcome back to the real world Ten.
First – very lucky to have the Commonwealth Games which is performing.
Second – Family Feud looks to be tiring and dropping in appeal. (God forgive if they stop simulcasting on Eleven – absolute trickery)
Third – Extant looks in trouble in the US & Australia.
Fourth – what is left in the barrel ?
In place of its *coking* show which finished on a high on Monday
