Jamie failed again to pull in an audience for Ten
Nine’s The Block: Glasshouse won the 7.30pm ratings battle last night after pulling in almost 1.13 million viewers, slightly up on the previous night’s audience of 1.112m.
It edged out Seven’s X Factor where 1.08m watched the contestants head overseas for the last attempt to make it through to the live shows. It too was an improvement on Monday’s outing which attracted 1.05m metro viewers.
But Ten’s Save with Jamie continued to disappoint as only 440,000 viewers tuned in to see the British chef conjure up something from the leftovers, 1,000 fewer than its debut last week. It was beaten into fifth place in the 7.30 time slot as SBS’s Who Do You Think You Are pulled in 467,000 while ABC News drew 634,000 and Foreign Correspondent pulled 556,000.

However, while showing improved ratings, both the X Factor and The Block have dipped sharply from last year with the X Factor so far losing 24 per cent of its metro audience and the reality renovation show down 14 per cent to this point compared to the Fans v Faves version aired last year. However, both shows have shown signs of recovery since slow starts..
Meanwhile, Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year South America, which broadcast at 9pm on Nine, attracted 1m, a rise of 13,000 on last week while Ten’s Family Feud hit 588,000 as it is being simulcast again on Ten, Eleven and One at 6pm.
In the news battleground, 1.14m watched Nine’s bulletin at 6pm, to make it the most watched program of the night, ahead of The Block and Seven News which attracted 1.116m in its 6pm slot.
But in the 6.30pm slot, the positions were reversed with Seven drawing 1.07m and Nine 1.053m.
Overall, Seven took 21.9 per cent of the nightly audience, just ahead of Nine’s 21.8 per cent while ABC’s 10.8 per cent beat Ten’s 10.5 per cent into fourth place.
