After several weeks of losing to Nine, last week Seven hit back with a ratings week all to itself.
Seven’s success with The X Factor is papering over lesser successes such as Please Marry My Boy and Formal Wars. And while Nine fared well with Nine News and Hamish and Andy’s Gap Year Asia, numbers for Big Brother have been softening.

I don’t know why people are saying BB is bringing Nine down. It rates pretty closely to H&A which screens at the same time, and up to 5 hours per week is not where the ratings are won and lost.
The only reason Nine has won some of the last weeks is its very clever move to put the Ashes cricket on GEM.
Big Brother a huge help to Nine for those demo wins
Big Brother is dragging Nine down.
