The Block (1.209 million) and Seachange (812,000) did well for Nine. Not it’s 6pm news (1.16 million) compared to Seven’s, which topped the night with 1.55 million nationally. Ten’s Australian Survivor looked good with 1.01 million and seems to be maintaining a solid hold on the demo.

Seven was just not competitive — the heavily promoted new show The Proposal bombed with only 463,000 regional viewers. It followed Dogs Behaving (Very) Badly with 734,000 national viewers. It is just another dodgy marriage show changing viewers who watched Nine’s ratty Married At First Slight.

The ABC was left right out last night but should do better next Tuesday with an inside look at Collingwood Football Club. In regional markets Seven’s 6pm news topped with 565,000, then Seven News/TT with 556,000, The Chase Australia 5.30pm was on 396,000, then Home and Away with 363,000 and The Block with 326,000
