Nine’s night easily as The Block dominated. End of night. It topped nationally (1.92 million), metro (1.32 million) and regionals (603,000). Ten suffered another loss as the audience mostly ignored (high cost) Australian Survivor (744,000 nationally) and flocked back for the (low cost) Have You Been Paying Attention (926,000 nationally).

It was just a flat night — 7.30 saw a very odd interview with Roger Corbett, the former Woolies CEO and Q&A later in the night ventured (as it would) into the same subject on that “survey vote”. Liberal Party hack and Tony Abbott mate Michael Sukkar was again caught up in the logical absurdity of the No case — they all have gay friends, but don’t think they should be allowed to be married. And yes, the No people all believe in equality, so long it is on their terms, rather than equality for all.

In the regions The Block was on top with 603,000 viewers, followed by Seven News with 585,000, Seven News/Today Tonight with 471,000, Home and Away was fourth with 452,000 and the 5.30pm part of The Chase was fiftth with 394,000.
