The Glenn Dyer breakdown: Seven’s night, but Revenge shed 267,000 viewers from its debut a week ago of 2.067 million metro viewers. That’s an acceptable loss, if it steadies around this level.

My Kitchen Rules again ruled the roost. Its audience rose to 2.525 million from 2.364 million, so there is still some momentum in this one.

Nine’s Alcatraz: week two and it slipped under the million mark to 932,000. Not good.

Ten’s The Biggest Loser at 7pm, 879,000, almost respectable and its best audience so far this season.

Tonight: Packed to the Rafters after My Kitchen Rules,

Nine’s Two Broke Girls will be tested tonight. Nine also has a new series of Top Gear at 9.30pm: do we care?

The ABC has Foreign Correspondent at 8pm.

Ten has a fresh NCIS at 8.30pm.

SBS returns Insight at 8.30pm and then follows it with the returning Dateline at 9.30pm.
