Continuing the trend of shows dropping off after their premiere, Andrew Denton’s Interview on Seven fell from 538,000 to 481,000 metro viewers last night.
Ten’s Bachelor in Paradise, which is wrapping up this week, also fell – down to 440,000 from 513,000 last week. Bachelor in Paradise aired later last night, moving back an hour to allow for Masterchef.
Masterchef pulled 678,000 metro viewers at 7:30pm, a drop from 715,000 for the premiere the night before. It was Ten’s most-watched program for the evening.
Lego Masters retained the top spot in all three key advertising demographics – 16 – 39, 18 – 49 and 25 – 54, followed by Bachelor in Paradise in 16 – 39 and Masterchef in the latter two.
In the breakfast shows, Today pulled 214,000 metro viewers, closing the gap on Sunrise which hit 239,000. This is substantially closer than the two shows have been in recent times, with Today dropping as low as 167,000 earlier this year.

Pauline Hanson appeared on A Current Affair to respond to the program’s report the night prior on former One Nation Senate candidate Steve Dickson’s strip club antics.

Game of Thrones continued to deliver for Foxtel. It was the most-watched program again last night, adding another 83,000 viewers to the cumulative total for episode three of the final season which first screened on Monday.
