Seven has continued its winning streak, once again securing the top primary (24.9%) and network (32.5%) shares, although it had to share the multichannel spoils with 7TWO and 10 Bold both on 3.3%.
Home and Away continued its strong return to TV after its hiatus with 733,000 viewers. This was followed by The Voice with 1,066,000 as it continues its incredible debut week following off from the Olympics, with every episode over the 1 million mark.
The episode featured noteworthy performances from Cassie McIvor, TanyaGeorge, Abbey Green, Henry Starr Ahomana, and Dan Eade.
Up next was the debut of Seven’s new show Australia: Now and Then hosted by Shane Jacobson. The show features Australian celebrities comparing generations and discussing which one has it best. The episode had 516,000 viewers and featured the topic of kids.
Nine
On Nine, A Current Affair had 823,000 viewers as the show covered the Moderna vaccine’s arrival in Australia as well as the devastating impact the pandemic continues to have on Australian families.
The Block then followed with 634,000 viewers which was up on Monday night’s 627,000.
The episode featured the teams receiving advice from The Block architect Julian Brenchley about designing their floor plans. But his advice was not heeded by everyone with Josh and Luke ignoring his advice and deciding to convert the double garage into a fourth bedroom.
“I’ve just come from a meeting with House 4, couple of young guys, I’ve got to say they came across as a couple of belligerent 13-year-olds,” Brenchley admitted.
The Hundred with Andy Lee then aired its first episode with 484,000 tuning in for the fitting census night premier. The celebrities competing last night were Sophie Monk, Mike Goldstein and Sam Campbell. The episode also featured a cameo from Anthony Field.
