Nine managed a win last night, its first for two weeks. Nine’s main channel lead was too much for 7Mate’s Paralympic coverage to overcome. Nine was up 3 from last Wednesday while Seven lost 2.5.

Nine won all markets except Perth that was won by Seven. Nine also won the key demo groups.

The Block continued to thrive for Nine reaching another season high while the penultimate episode of this season of The Bachelor saw no change week-on-week. Also on Nine, Paramedics got a boost to do well at 8:45pm.

Seven’s line-up saw RFDS and Nurses much the same as the previous week while ABC’s Hard Quiz improved as Question Everything slipped to a season low.

News numbers were down by 100k with Nine recording a rare number one spot – winning the east coast markets plus Adelaide.

Unusual to see Paralympics beaten in total people and key demos.

Great night for Nine with a recharged The Block. If its form continues it could provide a headache for SAS Australia on Seven and The Masked Singer on 10.

The Bachelor will finish this season on a limp.

After losing to Seven on Tuesday, I think Nine News Sydney will be relieved that last night’s “Peter Overton’s 30th anniversary at the network” bulletin won the ratings.

Most likely. Like most shows in this genre, The Bachelor/ette would probably benefit from taking next year off before returning in 2023.
