Nine had the top primary share for the 21st night in a row with 26.6%, Nine also had the top network share with 35.3%.
This win was in large part due to the dominance of Married at First Sight which has been the top non-news show each night that it has aired this year. The show had 898,000 last night and featured two more weddings as Belinda/Patrick and Beth/Russell walked down the aisle, and the episode then followed the couples on their honeymoon.
Married at First Sight was followed by 60 Minutes with 664,000 which covered Brittany Spear's fight for freedom and the saga engulfing the royal family of Dubai about Princess Latifa claiming she is being held hostage by her father.
