The Block’s 10th episode of the season saw the start of Main Bedroom & Walk-In-Robe Week with a rating of 1.073m, down 200k on last Monday’s 1.276k.

For Seven, the sixth blind audition episode of The Voice did well with 1.007m compared to 918k a week ago for its best result since the launch episode.

10’s Deal Or No Deal: Celebrity Jackpot had its second episode and featured Goggleboxers and had 315k after debuting to 304k with Gretel Killeen.

Australian Story was on ABC from 8pm with 639k, up 35k while Four Corners that followed was up 80k to 640k while Media Watch lifted to 610k.

Have You Been Paying Attention? had another timeslot win with 672k after dropping to 669k a week ago with a reduced lead in.

The Rookie on Seven continued to deliver and was up 30k to 509k. Nine’s Footy Classified and 100% Footy pairing just made the top 30 with 253k and 185k respectively.

Later in the night, the return of Planet America after a mid-season break did well to get 480k after the last episode had 488k. 10’s Late News made the top 30 with 244k.

Seven News topped Monday with 1.58m with Nine News on 1.332m at 6pm. At 5pm Tipping Point with 816k stayed ahead of The Chase with 752k while 10 News had 339k.

A Current Affair with 1.062 had a narrow win over Home and Away with 1.046m. ABC News was down slightly to 960k.

Sunrise, post Logies breakfast was just short of 500k for its highest rated Monday episode of the year. Today was steady with 286k while News Breakfast from Sydney was up to 244k.

7 having the Voice on Monday & Tuesday (because of AFL commitments & Logies) have worked well for them. Getting good ratings away from the Block reveals.

If they actually commit to the show and airs it within a month of it airing in the U.S, they probably get bigger ratings (at least with 7plus). I think it’s averaging around 800-900k with 7 day catch up.

JohnsonTV · August 18, 2026, 2:03am

Big audience for Sunrise. Must be the post-Logies effect.

Big numbers for Sunrise. So too for The Voice.

HYBPA doing well too, with a soft lead in.

While 10 News st 6pm not doing so well. Nothing works at 6pm on 10. Fact.

TV.Cynic · August 18, 2026, 3:03am

5 cities

Closer result at 6pm than usual with Nine News still ahead. Alicia doing well solo in Melbourne.

The Chase gets a narrow in in Perth.

Big numbers for post-Logies Sunrise especially Brisbane. Today wins Sydney and is slightly higher than recent results.

Seven News at 4 won nationally and it was close in the metros.

Andrew · August 18, 2026, 4:32am

You’d have to be pretty certain that you want to let go of The Voice with numbers like that.

They will have a hard time matching those numbers with another show.

Chris · August 18, 2026, 4:51am

If the biggest audience that it can pull is an average of just over 315k, then maybe they should stop creating these specials. Hard Quiz repeats on the ABC are doing better.

I think 10 would have been better off airing the Traitors on Monday and Tuesday’s and leaving Deal for Wednesdays.

The Voice numbers typically drop off once the Blind Auditions are over. So they obviously need to weigh that up with the cost of the format how many episodes actually do that well. Another thing for Seven are probably considering is that they are potentially diluting Idol by having 2 talent shows in the year.

MossPickle · August 18, 2026, 5:50am

Is this adjusted? Regular Deal & Millionaire ran overtime, presumably to push up Celeb Deal.
No idea if HYBPA was also delayed.

TV.Cynic · August 18, 2026, 6:02am

It was reported that 10’s EPG reflected the overrun - if that is the case the overnight ratings would be correct. Though the rating for Millionair and Deal were similar so it may not make much difference.
