House Husbands beat Seven’s drama import Revenge with Monday evening’s first episode of the vengeful program winning over 971,000 viewers while the second episode pulled 840,000.

The top 10 programs were all dominated by Seven and Nine with Ten’s The Biggest Loser pushed down to 20^th place with 552,000 viewers.
