Seven’s night because news (1.47 million average) and Home and Away (914,000 average) soaked up viewers. Viewers deserted Seven when America’s Got Talent started, which averaged 400,000 — a drop of more than 50%. Q&A on the ABC averaged 341,000 and was horizontal viewing at its best.
The Bachelorette on Ten picked up to 401,000 nationally after Gogglebox Australia had averaged 674,000, which is down a bit from previous weeks. Bachette was again slow and cheesy — you’d see similar acting skills on The Bold and The Beautiful or Day Of Our Lives.
The Block almost goes off and someone leaves Celebrity MasterChef on Sunday.
