Tuesday TV Wrap: The Hunted Finale Gets Out Swam By The Commonwealth Games
Network 10’s Hunted peaked at 602,000 (OzTAM metro) eyeballs, while Seven’s Commonwealth games coverage won last night’s gold.
It’s worth noting that Hunted has been 10’s biggest new show since The Masked Singer in 2019, and it has sent fans consistently wild on Twitter.
Start of the final show…
Hunters: WE’RE THE WORLD’S BEST INVESTIGATIVE TEAM. LET’S GET ‘EM!
Minutes later: Oh no, one team has split up, we hadn’t thought of that. Crisis! #Hunted

Seven News hit 946,000 viewers, while Nine News earned 878,000 viewers.
Nine’s A Current Affair scored 664,000 viewers – Grimshaw deserves her own office, parking space and wine room at Nine.
As per OzTAM’s metro numbers, Seven’s The Chase grabbed 554,000 viewers. But The Commonwealth Games peaked at 772,000 viewers, and Cody Simpson came fifth – pretty good for a man that was a pop star only a few years ago.
4 years ago, Australian pop star Cody Simpson was performing outside Buckingham Palace to launch the baton relay for the 2018 Commonwealth Games.
4 years later, Cody is competing for Australia in the sprint butterfly swimming events at the 2022 Commonwealth Games.
Incredible!
