The Block — 1.07 million last night nationally — holds its audience every night to varying degrees and doesn’t shed viewers like Australia’s Got Talent on Seven did for its second ep of this series: 741,000 last night, 24% fewer viewers than the 978,000 for the return ep on Sunday night. Seven has kissed another TV programming frog (like it did with My Kitchen Rules). Farmer Wants a Wife was ratings gold in comparison. Nine’s Today made another weak start to a working week — 266,000 nationally was more than 100,000 behind Sunrise with 369,000.

AGT. Why do the Judges have to make the show about them? With there screaming & flinching during the performances. Can the cameras stay on the acts rather than these clowns. The two English judges don’t carry on like this in BGT, are their antics driven by the Producers. If so get rid of the Producers & Jacobsen.
