Channel 10 continue to own the 7:30pm Thursday slot with their reality double Bondi Vet & Keeping up with the Joneses. The Amazing Race slots in at 10th for Channel 7 & Getaway in at 13th for Channel 9. Beauty and the Geek smash everyone out of the ball park with their overall win last night, adding over 500K viewers from last week. Ahh, what a good makeover show can do. I wouldn’t expect it to hold, however. Rush & CSI performed on par with last week, so viewers have appear from somewhere for Ch7. Cops LAC is limping to the end of the ratings period, surely never to be seen again other than late night re-runs. Rake dropped 300K from it’s premiere last week… will it last longer than Strictly Speaking for ABC1?
