The Winners Yes, it’s Tuesday night and the dancing gals and guys did it for Seven
in a big way. Dancing With the Stars attracted an average 2.067 million people
from 7.30pm to 9pm. Strong performances by Home and
Away (1.655 million), All Saints (1.466 million) and Today Tonight
(1.418 million) also added to the size of Seven’s win. Nine’s best
performer was the 6pm news which beat Seven nationally. From then on it
was a slow decline for the network. Ten was never in the hunt in All
People but nipped Seven to win the 16 to 39 year demographic.

skewing old. Frasier also had the staggers (1.121 million), along with CSI New York (1.110
million) and a repeat of CSI (1.170 million). Ten’s Brainiac continues to weaken (869,000). Nine’s The Apprentice (609,000 at 10.30pm) and Seven’s Last Man Standing (660,000 at 10pm) also struggled.

comments		 After Nine’s excitement at Eddie’s first millionaire, it was back to reality last night and
a reminder of the importance of having a program that rates its socks off every
week not just when there’s a one off boost from a special winner.
