A great win for The Block, pulling good numbers to come in 4th overall for Channel 9. Long overdue, but then some decent conflict never hurt (if TV Week had shut up about revealing who was disqualified it would have been better, but then their readership is so small it likely didn’t impact too greatly). Channel 7’s 7:30pm double of Border Security & The Force continue to dominate Wednesday nights. Glee brings in above 1m (down 300K from last week), but that’s not enough – and with the end of the ratings season it moves to Monday nights (from Nov 22). That Two and a half Men repeats are consistently beating The 7PM Project (down 100K on same slot last Wednesday) means a whole lot of work to be done there by Roving Enterprises/Channel 10 – but Home and Away is consistently spanking both of them. House needs some love – languishing at 8:30pm with barely over 700K viewers.
