Block-mentum continues to build in anticipation of Sunday's auction finale while Big Brother got a boost overnight, but Beauty and the Geek's Las Vegas sojourn didn't go down as well as hoped, down 30% year on year.
The Block once again managed to win the ratings for the night, pulling in 1.38 million viewers, with the next highest-rating program Nine's national 6:30 news grabbing 983,000 sets of eyeballs.
Meanwhile, Big Brother made an appearance in the top ten for Nine, grabbing 739,000 viewers.
Elsewhere, there was a 13% drop off between the first and second episodes of Beauty and the Geek, which were aired by Channel 7 back-to-back.
The first episode pulled in 612,000 while the follow-up saw 80,000 switch off with the second episode posting 532,000.
It was also a 30% drop for the season launch year on year.
Meanwhile, Ten's Madam Secretary dropped by 19% from its debut last week, grabbing 604,000 viewers.
However, last week it was given a lead-in from the season finale of The Bachelor, which ended up finishing with the best numbers last Thursday.
For the second day in a row Network Ten finished behind the ABC with a 16.9% share compared with the ABC's 18.1%.
Channel Nine won the evening with a 31% share, followed by Channel 7's 28.7% share.
