The Bachelors Australia was #1 overall with 314 000 viewers and rose by 75%. Home and Away placed #2 with 300 000 and an upswing of 61%. Although some commentators write off The Project when looking at total people figures, it consistently does well, night after night in 25-54, with last Wednesday sitting at #9 with 145 000 viewers, an increase of 7%. My favourite new show, Fire Country was #24 with 77 000 viewers – growing its audience by 24%.
