Australian Survivor couldn’t manage a million viewers in the five metro markets last night, and while it managed it in the national figures for the winner announcement — 1.01 million — the rest of the final could only grab 938,000 across the country. It was a rotten result for Ten. The finale of the 2016 series grabbed 1.45 million national viewers for the winner’s announcement — a nasty 30% fall. That sort of sums up what is Ten’s horrid 2017.

The World Cup Soccer heart stopper on Nine’s Go (667,000) and Fox Sports (401,000) totaled 1.06 million last night. The Block grabbed 1.76 million including 1.19 million in the metros where it was the only program with a million or more viewers. That gave Nine a very easy win, and it’s game over for the week.

In regional markets Seven News was tops with 592,000, followed by The Block with 574,000, Seven News/Today Tonight was third  with 486,000, fourth was Home and Away with 471,000 and 800 Words was fifth with 444,000.
