Gruen Planet finishes the right side of 1m

Gruen Planet walkingThe final episode of Gruen Planet snared over 1m viewers for ABC1 last night outrating the penultimate eviction night on Nine’s Big Brother.

Host Wil Anderson and the panel discussed ads for and against same sex marriage, the Queensland government campaign to crack down on bikies and ran a pitch on the evils of advertising.

Along with the second episode of Ja’mie: Private School Girl, ABC1 had the top two entertainment shows of the night, despite a decline of around 100,000 viewers from Ja’mie.

Meanwhile Nine’s Big Brother eviction of Ed Lower averaged 842,000 and was sixth in all programs. Just five contestants remain on the show now in its final stretch, with the final evictions and winner announcement next Wednesday.

Ten’s dating contest, The Bachelor, is also now in its final weeks, with heartthrob Tim Robards down to his final four women. OzTAM estimates the show’s metro audience was 649,000 viewers according to preliminary overnight ratings.

Seven’s top entertainment show was Home and Away with 820,000 viewers at 7pm while Slideshow averaged 626,000 at 7.30pm.

And Seven’s Sunrise held the lead in the morning battle with  370,000 viewers over 303,000 for Today. The race was closest in Sydney and Melbourne where each had a victory of around 1,000 viewers, with Today taking Sydney and Sunrise winning Melbourne.
