Married At First Sight, having passed the halfway point of the experiment, remained unbeatable notching up another dominate result. The average audience for the second retreat episode was 1.856m, up on the previous week’s 1.785m. That compares to the equivalent episode of last season that had 1.74million watching.
The second of Australian Idol’s Top 21 episodes had almost 900k well up from 766k last Tuesday.
Survivor with 360k dropped below 400k for the first time on a Tuesday after averaging 413k the previous week and 406k on Monday.
Foreign Correspondent at 8pm did well with 519k though that was down from 592k last Tuesday.

Earlier, the second WA episode of Home and Away continued to do well with 987k though that was behind A Current Affair on 1.152m and ABC News with exactly 1 million. Millionaire Hot Seat made the top 30 rankings as well with 265k.
Seven News won the 6pm timeslot ahead of Nine News by 50k while there no surprise that Tipping Point retained the 5pm crown with a 90k win.
Sunrise and Today were equal with last week’s numbers but News Breakfast lost ground.
It’s okay, 10 have come out with some 10News+ defenses of it calling it a change of baton in ratings, expecting it to find a new audience over time….
I dont want to go off thread too much, but I’d say I’m a celeb was anomaly growing year on year.
I think that 6pm hour is going to hurt all 10s realities now, the loss of promoing to eyeballs and those project interviews, Survivor just had the double whammy of the JLP effect too.
I’m gonna start watching survivor in a few days, but what I will say is, I’ve had to avoid very little spoilers compared to before, as every story is about David

Tipping Point wins across the board - Brisbane/Gold Coast continues to be an issue.
Sunrise does very well including two ties in markets where it would normally rank second plus helped by another big Perth audience.
No it’ll be the network as whole also, Thanks to its large streaming catch up, its only down about 100-150k per episode, instead of the 200k+ in overnights
Yeah Chase did alright in Syd, Melb, Adel & Perth as they were combined in my 61,000 less viewers. In Bris they were 68,000 less total. So that’s a disaster for them.
Total 5 city difference is 130,000 with more than half of it being in 1 city. Wonder why Bris preferred Tipping Point over Chase
