Another massive My Kitchen Rules (1st – 1,632,000) delivers big for Seven, though it doesn’t carry down into the second ep of Winter (7th – 918,000) which does win its timeslot after shedding over 700,000 viewers. The Block Triple Threat (11th – 720,000) and I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (15th – 600,000) continue to fight it out for second and third place in the reality battle with little sign of competing for first. Shaun Micallef’s Mad As Hell (10th – 768,000) returns for S05 in a new timeslot, bundled with Judith Lucy is All Woman (17th – 580,000) and while they can’t compete with the commercial programs in that timeslot they deliver strongly for the ABC. Nine launch Forever (E01: 14th – 619,000; E02: 20th – 522,000) to little fanfare so expect it to be seen at the “all new time” of never in a few eps.
