The Big Adventure audience collapses on second Sunday outing as Gotham also down

The Seven Network’s new franchise The Big Adventure has seen its audience fall dramatically from last week with the show recording a metropolitan audience of just 664,000, down from 945,000 last week.

The result saw The Big Adventure comprehensively beaten in the 6.30pm slot by Nine’s new reality program The Embassy which follows people seeking help at the Australian Embassy in Bangkok, which grew its audience marginally from 874,000 last week to 882,000.

The Big Adventure appears to have been impacted in part by the decision not to simulcast the show as it was last week, which would have contributed to the 30 per cent audience collapse. However, Seven was able to score a very narrow victory in audience share on its main channel with a 19.8 per cent main channel audience share compared with 19.7 per cent for Nine.
