The Block and My Kitchen Rules did battle again on Tuesday with MKR coming out on top for the second consecutive day as gatecrashers entered the kitchen. The audience of 1.09m was down on Monday’s record but up on the previous Tuesday episode that had 1.039m. The Block wasn’t far behind with 1.058k but that was well down week-on-week from 1.127m.

Not so competitive was Sydney Harbour Cops that managed just 274k equal with the previous week’s result. Meanwhile ABC premiered a new documentary series The State Of Man Series that did well to get 446k though that was less than Foreign Correspondent that last week had 527k in the same timeslot.

The season 2 final of The Jury: Skeleton In The Garden missed the top 30 for SBS.

On Nine, 1 Euro House episode two scored 557k down from the series premiere that had just over 600k. Episode three of Off The Grid With Colin And Manu served up 488k for Seven after hovering about 500k for the first two episodes.

Over on 10, The Cheap Seats continued to perform lower than earlier in the year with 369k down from 380k last week. ABC’s second premiere of the night Believe in Magic: The Mother of All Cons had just 215k

Also making the top 10 were Topknotz - Wild On Water with 174k and 10’s Late News with 175k.

Seven News had a 155k win at 6pm with 1.334m while Nine News had 1.177m. Earlier, Tipping Point’s audience was 748k to stay ahead of The Chase that averaged 683k.

7pm delivered another close contest with A Current Affair on just over one million, ahead of Home and Away with 943k and ABC News that was down on last week to 886k.

Sunrise had another good morning to get 442k across its broadcast, leading Today that dropped to 262k, to be beaten by Early Sunrise and The Morning Show while News Breakfast had 222k.

MKR and The Block were neck and neck in the timeslot, although the latter was ahead in reach and BVOD figures.

The Cheap Seats still below the 400k mark.

Did this show fall off?

It couldn’t reach 400k twice all of last season. It has failed this mark at least twice this season.

Clearly it is being impacted by the lead-in as it was topping 400k only a few weeks ago. These factual shows like Sydney Harbour Cops are good but just don’t do well with 10s audience. Shows like this just don’t stand ont heir own and need to be scheduled outside the 7.30pm timeslot with a stronger lead in. To get just over 270k at 7.30pm is woeful. Big Brother could not come back fast enough.

I think the factuals are better suited to later in the week like Thursday. The Cheap Seats needs a better lead-in.
