What Really Happens In Bali clawed back some of the viewers it lost last week with the show getting an audience of 888,000 at 8.45pm according to the OzTam Overnight ratings, making it the tenth most watched show last night. It debuted with a surprising million plus viewers two weeks ago.

However, there was still little love for Nine’s When Love Comes To Town, up against the at 8.30pm which continued to underwhelm, drawing just 625,000 viewers to place as the 18th most watched show, down from 657,000 last Tuesday.

The success of Seven’s reality vehicles gave the network victory last night with 22.9 per cent of overall audience.

It wasn’t all good news for Seven after the network announced it would not be bringing back A Place To Call Home for a third season. The show is midway through season two and has failed to draw the million-plus audiences of season one, managing just 855,000 viewers last Sunday.

Ten was the surprise performer among the networks after it managed to get 15.3 per cent overall metro audience share despite having no shows in the top ten. The result was partly driven by Masterchef (881,000 at 7.30pm) and NCIS (839,000 at 8.30pm) which came in at number 11 and 12 respectively.

Nine’s The Big Bang Theory climbed up the ranks to become the second most watched show of the night with 1.301 million viewers for a new episode at 7.30pm, and a repeat straight after getting 1.15m. Nine news also performed well with 1.219 million viewers, helping Nine to take second place in overall ratings with 20.9 per cent audience share.

The ABC took 10.3 per cent overall share for the night with its best performing show ABC News at 7pm  pulling in 807,0000.
