Last night, A Current Affair sat down with a group of 11 to 15-year-olds to unpack the good, the bad and the ugly side of the internet ahead of the under-16 ban.
The episode brought Nine a Total TV National Reach of 1,567,000 and a Total TV National Average Audience of 970,000.
Also on Nine, Taronga: Who’s Who in the Zoo brought in a Total TV National Reach of 1,370,000 and a Total TV National Average Audience of 598,000.
Over on ABC, ABC News brought in a Total TV National Reach of 1,276,000 and a Total TV National Average Audience of 945,000.
Seven‘s The Chase Australia won a Total TV National Reach of 1,102,000.
Channel 10‘s Big Brother jumped to spot nine last night, up from yesterday, with a Total TV National Reach of 920,000 and a Total TV National Average Audience of 584,000.
The house was thrown into anarchy once again, this time with the opening of The Grand Big Brother Hotel, and it appeared that some of these housemates are starting to crack.
The contestants who were appointed chores by head housemate Allana, transforming into hotel staff.
Coco, Bruce, Holly and Edward didn’t get the luxury of experiencing a Big Brother hotel experience. Instead, they had to provide a five-star experience to the housemates-turned-hotel-guests, which included Abiola, Emily, Vinnie, Conor and Colin.
Big Brother himself tasked the hotel guests with being the most difficult customers, testing the patience of their fellow housemates-turned-staff. If Big Brother is satisfied with their nasty attitudes, they will receive a luxury shopping budget.
Over on A Current Affair, reporters checked in with tweens and teens, who are facing a looming social media ban only two weeks ago.
Some said they were in favour of the ban while others thought it wasn’t a good idea.
“I think that we should have at least Snapchat, because Snapchat is a fun way to communicate with your friends,” Zach said.
“Hopefully more complaints come in and we get Instagram and stuff back,” another said.
The children also revealed how much time they spent on their phones every week.
“I have an average of three hours,” Ben said.
“My daily average is one hour and eight minutes,” Elloise said.
