Nine’s The Block has had a solid run in entertainment, continuing its domination of the ratings on Tuesday night with 829,000 viewers.
Last night’s episode contained an illegal bathroom (there were issues with waterproofing and fire-rating, for anyone concerned) and also a building challenge using bits of old boats. Ahoy indeed!
Once again in the entertainment ratings, Seven’s SAS Australia was sandwiched between The Masked Singer‘s main ep and the reveal.
As per OzTAM’s metro data, the reveal rated highest at 676,000 viewers, while the rest of the episode had an average viewership of 592,000 viewers.
The second celebrity to be revealed was (drum roll please)…former MasterChef judge and famed staff-underpayer George Calombaris! He was dressed as a sparkly feather duster, and performed Shake Your Tail Feather by Ray Charles.
SAS Australia had 626,000 viewers, and the celebrities were faced with a stomach turning tightrope challenge, former Miss World contestant Erin Holland had to try and carry actor Dan Ewing on her back, and then the contestants were forced to navigate an underground tunnel. Anxiety-inducing TV at its finest!
