The default position of smoke and mirrors wins out for Seven again with Dynamo: Magician Impossible (5th – 938,000). PM Kevin Rudd’s Kitchen Cabinet (8th – 892,000) suffers at the hands of a better follow on – Gruen is massive business and as good as Upper Middle Bogan (9th – 881,000)/It’s A Date (13th – 722,000) are they aren’t pulling the same figures. The premiere of Save With Jamie (16th – 596,000) suggests maybe the nation’s love affair with food shows is over for the year?
Interestingly – Seven nab 4 of the top 7 spots for the night and then nothing else. Nine/ABC1 score 6 of the Top 20.
