Incredible result for The Voice. It should single handedly win Nine another week. Ouch for Dancing, and Ten's entire lineup. Solid result for Bones given the big competition, taking out a win against Beaconsfield in Brisbane.

[UKTV Fan]

Sensational for The Voice, its doing incredibly.

[MillerT1]

I think we can call it already this week that Nine will win. People obviously love the blind auditions concept. Nine must be sad that Voice is no longer on Sundays. Tonight will be interesting. Could The Voice rise AGAIN?!

That Sydney figure for The Voice is CRAZY!!!

WOW I don't really have any other words; for the Voice to continue increasing is beyond anyones expectations.

[The Sifon]

The Voice was fantastic.

F1 rates poorly for Ten, doing around the same numbers it did on One. Put it back on One you dipsticks.

[Squee!]

First time we've ever seen DWTS under 1m?
Not a bad result for Touch. Wonder what the DVR figures are like for that and the rest of Tens schedule.

[Racer25]

Bigger than MasterChef, Idol or Big Brother. Amazing ratings for The Voice, Nine will be stoked.
Bones did pretty well considering its delayed start time. Everything else did terribly.

[MillerT1]

At this rate, next week's inevitable drop on The Voice won't stop the show from still rating at least 2 million viewers.

Squee, DWTS rated under a million for 2010 MasterChef finale.

F1 rates poorly for Ten, doing around the same numbers it did on One. Put it back on One you dipsticks.

With F1, One would have been the number one multichannel, boosting the Ten network share to something almost reasonable. Instead it got an awful 1.6% share, with no real boost to the main channel. Ten were copping an absolute flogging on Twitter last night, and I think they will regret this decision.

[J Bar]

Incredible ratings for The Voice. This has become one of the biggest hits ever. Beaconsfield was huge too and benefited from such a massive lead-in. Can't help thinking that it would have been smarter for Nine to launch Tricky Business in this slot instead though, as a long term prospect that needed a big launch.

DWTS is showing its age against the new kid on the block. Viewers wanted a change and losing Sonia Kruger to Nine has hurt the show too. It may pick up again once The Voice goes from Sundays next week but then there will still be three reality shows in the same slot.

Bones not too bad especially for such a late start (after 9.15pm) and Castle did similar numbers to that in the past but now with a late start (after 10.15pm).

Ten are shattered. Touch is a flop. Modern Family back to poor ratings unfortunately. New Girl awful but deserved. Whoever put the F1 on Ten should be shot.

Will be interesting whether the winner from the voice actually gets a career from this show or will it be just about the tv show?
Next week Sunday lineup for nine not as good with the block, then 60 minutes, the Mentalist. 8 more weeks after this one but just on Monday and Tuesday for 2 hours per night. Nine will wish they did not put the block on the same time, the voice is going to get all the media attention. Nine will know have to be careful with these numbers that their judges do not get poached by overseas talent shows where they can pay them bigger bucks. Seven will have to revamp their talent shows next year with new judges, new settings, new ways of presenting their shows and will definitely put none of their talent shows up against the voice next year.

What nine will do is start tricky business and underbelly with the finals of the voice and the block. They can say unbelievable figures for tricky business and underbelly but it will be on the back of the finals not those actual shows. They will use the 'false' figure for marketing saying tricky business rating bigger than packed to the rafters did at the start. Underbelly last year went from 2.4 million to 1.3 million in one to two weeks with no reality tv final in front of it.

Totally agree - Ten could have thrown a repeat movie or a repeat of NCIS or something at 9.30 and attracted figures of around 400k with another 400k on ONE which would have boosted the overall network share AND given ONE a platform to promote its weeks shows - the decision to air it on 10 is an odd one - I wouldn't be suprised to see it shifted back next week.

Can't help thinking that it would have been smarter for Nine to launch Tricky Business in this slot instead though, as a long term prospect that needed a big launch.

Definitely would have been smarter to launch a possible long-running series after their biggest ever hit, rather than screen a telemovie. Now it has to contend with a older-skewing 60 Minutes as a lead-in.

Agree with you 100%. They should have launched Tricky Business last night. Beaconsfield, as a one off, would have rated well elsewhere in their schedule.

I don't think losing Kruger has any impact at all. Its up against the hottest new show in town at the moment. I like Mel B. Ten times better than Kruger. Lets see how she goes hosting BB.

Agree with you 100%. They should have launched Tricky Business last night. Beaconsfield, as a one off, would have rated well elsewhere in their schedule.

There's every chance that The Voice will drop off after the Blind Auditions as has happened overseas, so this was probably their best opportunity. They may still try and launch Tricky Business on another night on the back of The Voice but this was definitely a missed chance.

I don't think losing Kruger has any impact at all. Its up against the hottest new show in town at the moment. I like Mel B. Ten times better than Kruger. Lets see how she goes hosting BB.

It must have had some impact because DWTS dropped on last week. I only watched Mel B on it last week and didn't think she measured up to Kruger but I'm sure she had first show nerves. Did not watch this week because I've decided I'm not watching any reality shows any more no matter how "hot" they are.

[Chris]

I gotta be honest that I'm surprised that The Voice is doing so well. I enjoyed it for the most part last week, but during this episode was starting to get a bit bored with the auditions. So tonight I think I will be choosing AGT over The Voice just for a bit of variety. But really it looks like it's showing no signs of shedding any viewers at least during this audition stage... and this is possible the biggest regular hit that I've ever seen. Last night is pretty much what the MKR finale got... those numbers are just wow. I still think that once it turns into another X Factor, we won't be seeing these numbers. But it will still be the hit of the year thats for sure.

I didn't even realise that Beaconsfield was on last night. There was an enormously long promo during The Voice, but those promos are usually for shows that are Coming Soon so didn't realise it was even on. Wish I watched it.

2,691,000 .. OVER 2 HOURS. Absolutely Amazing. All the extra commercial breaks must be raking in the cash - the voice just saved Nine A LOT of interest repayments!
996,000 for DWTS is actually a fairly decent result considering it's 1000 years old and in its 200th or so season.. it also went for 2.5 hours, and is up against arguably the biggest runaway success story since oztam began and a plethora of channels.

The voice also takes #1 in digitals. This could very well settle at 2 Million for this seasons run. That allows a 600K drop off... insane breathing space!

The Voice in Sydney (944,000) almost alone outrated DWTS nationally. Where do all these new people come from every now and again!

I wouldnt be suprised if nine made a last minute change to next sunday and move a battle round to monday. It is unstopable at the moment.

But as people have said it is probably leading to a drop. In the Uk it built every week of the auditions and dropped a million viewers this weekend for its first battle episode. Still big though.
