Termites help House Rules knock The Block Sky High off its renovation ratings pedestal for the first time
House Rules has overthrown The Block Sky High in national television ratings for the first time, after a continual climb on the ratings ladder since the home renovation stress serfies kicked off in May.
Channel Seven’s House Rules was the third most watched show around the nation last night – behind Nine News and Seven News – with a 1.159 million audience, based on the five city metropolitan OzTam ratings.
House Rules trumped Channel Nine’s The Block Sky High, which fell into fourth place with a rating of 1.131 million.
On Monday night, The House Rules Reveal had narrowly failed to catch The Block Sky High, which recorded 1.493 million and House Rules recorded 1.39 million.
Both renovation shows rated higher than Nine and Seven News on Monday night, a rare occurrence, but not on Tuesday night.
Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane audiences are still favouring The Block Sky High, however House Rules is more popular in Perth and Adelaide by huge margins.
House Rules has been winning the whole of Australia television ratings with some regularity given its state based house locations have been in six states. House Rules was also winning when up against against The Block Sky High Unlocked.
Property Observer reported on a state-by-state House Rules prize guide, with NSW couple Steve and Michelle having the most to gain with a $629,000 mortgage – the potential prize money. They have a termite ridden house in Collaroy Plateau.
Brisbane holds the smallest mortgage of $300,000 and therefore, the smallest potential prize.
