Seven’s audience share dips to 14.8 as Beauty and the Geek falls again

Thursday saw another depressed night in TV ratings with no show breaking the 900,000 viewers mark with reality show Beauty and the Geek tumbling to 496,000 viewers from 533,000 last week according to OzTam overnight metro ratings.

Whilst the dating show did rise to 528,000 for a second episode, the result saw Seven’s audience share drop to 14.8 per cent, however that was still enough to secure the biggest free-to-air broadcast second place behind Nine which had 17.9 per cent.

It was up against Kings Cross ER at 7.35pm on Nine, which had 726,000 viewers, and Big Brother which saw another slight audience decline at 8.35pm to 516,000.

The final episode of SBS One’s special event series First Contact was the 22nd most watched show with 399,000 viewers, up on the previous night’s 339,000, but down on the first night’s audience of 433,000.
