Since its premiere two weeks ago, Little Big Shots has topped Sunday night, but thanks to Melbourne couple Jason and Sarah, who were unable to finish their master suite room, Nine’s The Block returned to the lead with 1.701m metro viewers.
The show also topped all the key advertising demographics – the 16-39s, 18-49s, 25-54s, as the duo received three scores of zero, with host Scott ‘Cam’ Caminetti slamming Jason and Sarah for their ‘lack of effort’.
