The Block Grand Final Takes Home the Crown for Weekend Overnight TV Ratings on Free to Air
Ever since the premiere of its 15th season on Nine, The Block has consistently topped the charts on the free to air overnight ratings. It’s no surprise that it’s recognised as Australia’s most successful reality program!
After reigning weekend overnight TV ratings consistently for weeks, The Block has finally aired its grand finale last night with Tess and Luke taking home the $100,000 prize money — which they get on top of the $630,000 worth of profit they got from selling their apartment at The Oslo in St. Kilda. The episode took home 1,924,000 viewers across 5-city metro, which is a far jump from their normal 1,100,000 range for the show’s Sunday airing.
Now that the latest season of The Block has wrapped up, only time will tell which other hit show or sport would take the top spot. Other notable contenders include ABC’s hit drama Total Control and reality show Grand Designs: The Street, Seven’s Bride & Prejudice, and Ten’s The Bachelorette Australia and Amazing Race Australia.
