House Rules (4th – 1,007,000) bounces up and with Home and Away it beats The Block Sky High (3rd – 1,087,000) (the splitting of The Block and House Rules across the hour helped). Well I’ll be… The final episode of The Checkout (10th – 882,000) bumps up to its best numbers for the season and reinforces a call for its return in 2014.
