The Great Australian Spelling Bee ends on a high but cat videos hand Seven wins the night
Last night’s winner announced segment for Ten’s The Great Australian Spelling Bee saw 901,000 metro viewers tune in to see Victoria’s Anirudh, aged nine, declared Australia’s spelling champion.
The grand final portion of the show, which kicked off at 7.30pm, but came third in that time slot after it pulled in 755,000 metro viewers to hand Ten a main channel audience share of 15.2 per cent, according to preliminary overnight metro figures from OzTam.
That result, which was down on the show’s debut last month which saw 921,000 tune in, although the final ten minutes, broken out as the winner announcement, was the most watched non-news show of the evening.
