First X Factor elimination can’t stop The Block winning Monday night’s viewing

Channel Nine claimed a big win in last night’s ratings war with The Block: Glasshouse the most watched show across all the demographics, easily outstripping its reality rival in the 7.30pm slot in Seven’s The X Factor’s first elimination with 1.231m viewers against 1.107m.

Once again Ten struggled to compete with its 7.30pm offering David Attenborough’s Natural Curiosities falling fourth in the timeslot with 527,000 viewers, as ABC’s 7.30 got 756,000 viewers, followed by Australian Story at 8pm which had 859,000.

Ten’s 8.30pm show Have You Been Paying Attention was also fourth with 440,000 viewers, behind Nine’s House Husbands with 902,000 and the second outing of The Amazing Race on Seven which lifted from its debut of 588,000 last week to 655,000, airing 20 minutes earlier, according to OzTam’s metro overnight ratings.

However, both House Husbands and The Amazing race saw decent catch-up numbers across the week, adding an extra 183,000 and 146,000 viewers respectively, whilst Nine’s My Granny the Escort got a further 32,000 viewers.

Family Feud continues to buoy Ten’s numbers, with the show still being simulcast on One, Eleven and the main channel getting 643,000 viewers.

Nine once again ruled the news battle with its 6pm bulletin the second most-watched show of the night with 1.223m viewers, and the 6.30pm segment third with 1.158m. Seven’s 6pm news was fifth with 1.085m and Seven News/Today Tonight at 6.30pm dropped off to 1.065m.

In terms of share Nine got 22.6 per cent, leaving Seven in second with 19.6 per cent, ahead of the ABC’s 14.9 per cent and Ten’s 10.9 per cent.
