The Voice isn’t a failure, just a diminished giant. This is unlike MasterChef, which is faltering.

Without competition from Seven’s House Rules Nine’s reno show ruled the roost.

Chanel Seven’s Johnny-come-lately reno program has crept up on its Channel Nine counterpart.

Ten’s blockbuster cooking show is just not pulling in the numbers it used to.

Celebrity Apprentice on Nine (national/653,000/regional): dying, fading, whatever you call it, this rogue show, this confected bit of TV spakfilla is weak

Ten’s MasterChef is staggering — 879,000 national/652,000 metro/227,000 regional viewers — the third weak night in a row. This one is really off the viewers’ radar.

Seven’s House Rules is outrating Nine hit reno show The Block.

Rugby league fans flocked to their small screens last night to watch the State of Origin game.

The Block and House Rules are neck-and-neck in the home renovation stakes.

The Ten Network is taking more than a few knocks of late, with its ratings monster failing to perform.

ABC producers must have a terrible sinking feeling this morning — their much-promoted Paper Giants failed to deliver.

There’s blood on the floor at American Idol as the man responsible for its success — and fighting divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj — head off into the sunset.

What a dull night of TV it was, with even Offspring losing its zing.

Ten’s weight-loss reality show will probably be back in 2014.

The Voice dominated, Nine’s 6pm block is kicking Seven, and Ten’s new highly-hated US import The Americans wasn’t loved by audiences nearly as much as critics.

There was something for everyone last night. Seven, Nine, Ten and the ABC can all claim wins with various fare.

The ABC’s The Chekcout is one of the best shows on TV, but it will be ending next week.

The news on Seven and Nine were the most watched programs last night, which tells you something about our disinterest with the current crop of programing.

Viewers seem to be losing their appetite for home renovation shows.

House Rules is picking up a little in the ratings for its first reveal episode, but it’s still not where it should be. And The Voice is losing viewers fast.

The big winner over the weekend was SBS with its coverage of Eurovision.

Seven had hopes its new House Rules would upset The Block on Nine, but viewers just aren’t drawn to it.

Seven’s new reno show turns out to be duller than watching paint dry.

The budget was all over, red rover in three hours, and Seven’s newest reality show might not hold up.

The Voice had a rare off night, but Nine still won the ratings easily.
