Dancing With The Stars (1st – 1,331,000) is back for season 13, baby, whether you like it or not. It over-shadowed everything else from 7:30pm, causing Big Brother (9th – 817,000) to take a hit and Recipe To Riches (19th – 516,000) the same. Sleepy Hollow (21st – 461,000) slid down to the point where it’ll probably pop up in an “all new timeslot” any day now.

Timeslot winners (nationally):
6:00pm: Nine News – Ch9
6:30pm: Today Tonight – Ch7
7:00pm: Home and Away – Ch7
7:30pm: Dancing With The Stars (1st hour) – Ch7
