Back to normal for Seven last night, without any help from Hell’s Kitchen (859,000 nationally) or yet another trip to the Princess Diana well (702,000). To celebrate the advances of CBS, Ten ran a weak fourth as Australian Survivor flopped again (774,000). Once again the program that followed it — Have You Been Paying Attention — out rated Survivor with 886,000 national viewers and deserved more. 

In the regions, Seven News was tops with 649,000, followed by Seven News/Today Tonight with 534,000, then The Block with 502,000, Home and Away was fourth with 469,000 and The Chase at 5.30pm averaged 427,000 for fifth.

Game of Thrones ended with more than 800,000 people watching on showcase on Foxtel — 561,000 for its live telecast and 306,000 for its replay in the evening.
