Married At First Sight topped the night nationally and in the metros and regions with a total of 1.492 million (up from 1.306 million and second place a week earlier). That meant it was Nine’s night by a bigger margin on 12.8 share points in all people and 12.9 points in the main channels.
Every other program in the top 10 lost ground as the boost from the floods/rain story in southeast Queensland, northern NSW and Sydney, plus the latest from Ukraine, faded from people’s minds.
