Jamie Durie’s offensive comments about Nine’s Domestic Blitz didn’t damage his show in fact The Outdoor Room won its time slot which overall helped Seven steal Sunday from Nine.
With 1.356 million viewers, Durie’s newest show just defeated Blitz who itself had 1.349 million viewers nationally. The 7:30PM battle was just as close but 60 Minutes accounted for Dancing with the Stars with 1.349 million viewers while Dancing had 1.334.
Nine lost Sunday on the poor performance of Nine News which was thrashed by 500 000 viewers from Seven News and CSI: Miami which dropped to 1.028 million.
Idol was ten’s best show with 1.193 million and the repeat of Thank God You’re Here was also on the good side of 1 million but Rove wasn’t.
Sunday’s are the most competitive night for television and it will be interesting to see if Nine’s latest backyard show, Battlefronts can be as successful as Domestic Blitz has been and challenge The Outdoor Room.
If there was one poor performance by Seven it was the soft ratings that Outback Wildlife Rescue returned which was still on the good side of one million but dropped almost 300 000 viewers from The Outdoor Room.
Are there now perhaps too many versions of rescues, animals and a combination of the outback?
There are not too many other options avialable to the networks as we have follwoed police, firmmen, ambulance officers, doctors, nurses, vets, coast guards so what is left? Security Guard Dogs would be an entertaining show or maybe we can follow garbage collectors on their rounds around the suburbs and discover all the weird, wild and whacky pieces of garbage they find.
Sunday ended up like this:
Seven: 27.3%
Nine: 24.8%
TEN: 21.4%
ABC: 20.9%
SBS: 5.7%

As for Monday, it was Seven, Seven, Seven...
City Homicide was the nations most popular show with almost 1.8 million viewers whilst The Force and Border Security had 1.6 million viewers. Seven News beat Nine News by 300 000 viewers (slightly closer this Monday) but there was only 100 000 viewers difference between Today Tonight, which beat A Current Affair.
New Ramsay Kitchen Nightmares: USA bombed for Nine as the celebrity chef was unable to cook up a much needed ratings storm for Nine in the 8:30 slot. Ramsay only 732 000 viewers which was beaten by Ten’s new teen drama 90210 which for its first episode had 837 000 viewers before bottoming out in episode two with only 666 000 viewers.
Ten was even defeated by the ABC last night as Idol only returned 1.1 million viewers and Taken Out should be taken off air, only recording 656 000 viewers. For the ABC its News and the 7.30 Report had more than one million viewers while Media Watch and Denton were just under one million viewers.
Two and A Half Men was Nine’s most poplar show and even defeated Home and Away by 27 000 viewers.
It was however, another big win to Seven which saw the network thrash its competitors, reading:
Seven: 33.4%
Nine: 21.8%
ABC: 19.7%
TEN: 17.8%
SBS: 7.3%
