The Block tops ratings as Zumbo arrests audience slide

September 13, 2016 10:39

The Block enjoyed another dominant night of ratings, drawing 921,000 viewers to claim the title of most-watched general entertainment show on Monday night.

While the renovation show owned the evening at 7:30pm, Seven’s foodie show Zumbo’s Just Desserts arrested its slide in ratings, at last, to build on last week’s audience of 657,000 (down 15% on the previous week) to finish with an audience of 681,000.

Zumbo again pipped Ten’s Australian Survivor, which lifted its audience marginally, up from 662,000 last week to draw 672,000 last night.

Nine’s Married at First Sight, on immediately after The Block at 8:40pm, also lost audience this week on last week – down from 843,000 to 814,000.
