Seven’s first Live X Factor show for the year helped it to win the night in network shares, but it was beaten in its timeslot by Nine’s “room reveal” episode of The Block.

The Block pulled 1.05m viewers over X Factor‘s 1.01m viewers, leaving TEN’s TBL Families in fourth place on just 446,000. Nine’s renovation show also topped the Demos. Reality battles aside, it was a fairly quiet Sunday.

Seven News was the night’s top show, 86,000 better than Nine News.

Seven Network won the night with a 32.2% share then Nine 29.1%, ABC 15.9%, TEN 15.4% and SBS 7.3%.

Seven News (1.13m) was best for Seven then The X Factor (1.01m) and a movie repeat Pitch Perfect (500,000).

The Block (1.05m) led for Nine then Nine News (1.04m), 60 Minutes (868,000) and something called The Boy with the World’s Biggest Hands was just 388,000.

ABC News (854,000) topped ABC’s night. Vera (596,000) lifted above Doctor Who (541,000) and Compass was 316,000.

On TEN TBL Families was 446,000 then TEN Eyewitness News (395,000), Movie: Star Trek: Into Darkness (384,000) and Scorpion (346,000).

Ultimate Tutankhamen (369,000) led for SBS followed by Sinatra: All or Nothing at All (255,000) and SBS World News (194,000).

  1. In all honesty this is not good news for X-factor for a production that spends alot of money for the show etc for the live shows, Ch 7 did not step it up this year I must say the judges annoy me even Guy & Danni this year no new host either the 5seat challenge was so silly putting and taking out people it’s all about the drama not the singing I’m not saying I hate the show it just could’ve done better- the ratings are speaking for themselves.

  2. Does anyone know if The Biggest Loser is any different to previous years? Did Ten actually refresh it and take on board viewer feedback like they did with MasterChef? I haven’t been watching, but from the ads I’ve seen it looks same old same old. The $20,000 gimmick to leave the competition, challenges in the mud, shocked weigh in faces etc. I feel like I’ve seen it all before.

  3. The standard of contestants this year on X factor is excellent, some of the songs chosen were not really suitable for the singers at this early stage, but each one gave it their best shot and as the weeks go by and they gain more confidence would hate to pick the winner.

    1. The girls are very strong this year – I think it will be between Mahalia, Michaela and Louise.
      Louise and Mahalia are my absolute favourites – they are both amazing.

  4. How is Scorpion performing so poorly? Merlin previously pulled 500k in that timeslot. I realise that was during a time when TEN was better situated, but still, a good fun show like this shouldn’t be doing that poorly in a family timeslot.

    1. I like Scorpion as well it harkens back to the 80’s, it’s like MacGyver and The A Team had a child and called it Scorpion, then perhaps that’s the problem people don’t want those 80’s type shows that used to be on at 7:30pm anymore it has to be gritty and semi-realistic. Which is a shame, they’re fun to take the brain out on a Sunday and watch prior to having a work week coming up, a bit like I would love Once Upon A Time scheduled in at 6:30 or 7:30pm for the same reason (of course that will never happen).

    2. It is interesting that 3 of the US showed renewed last year (Scorpion, Mysteries of Laura, CSI:Cyber) are lightweight, unashamedly cheesy shows that are modern takes on 80s early evening TV.

      Here 7&9s 1hr news and contest shows are pushing Scorpion of lounge room TVs. But no OS dramas are doing well these days.
