Another night of The Voice Australia (1t – 2,518,000), another result above two million viewers. It’s simply incredible how this program has captured a television-watching nation’s imagination to regularly watch in this volume. The Block (2nd – 1,430,000) up now that they couples are into the houses proper and it was a good introduction episode to set up the rest of the series. Pictures Of You (13th – 750,000) returned to a timeslot win and OK figures, but the late night position is working against it… but where do Ch7 put it otherwise that it wouldn’t get smashed at the moment? Australia’s Got Talent (6th – 1,227,000) and Revenge (7th – 1,223,000) both return to numbers over one million and they’ll look to claw back any additional viewers they can. The Bob Brown special of Q&A (16th – 687,000) rated reasonably. The addition of The Block has made the battle between Today Tonight (5th – 1,274,000) and A Current Affair (8th – 1,204,000) a little closer.
