Thursday evening saw another slow night for TV audiences with Seven’s reality show Beauty and the Geek and ABC’s Upper Middle Bogan both shedding viewers last night according to OzTam Metro ratings.

Seven’s reality show dropped from 623,000 and 612,000 viewers last week for its two episodes from 8pm to 593,000 and 578,000 respectively despite the first makeover for one of the geeks.

The second outing of the new season of the Upper Middle Bogan comedy at 8.30pm tailed off from 719,000 t0 645,000 for ABC.

Nine won the night on the back of a consistent performance for its news shows, and its show Kings Cross ER which dropped 30,000 viewers on last week to 683,000, but was still the ninth most watched show of the night.
