Australian Quiz Results, 12–16 October: The Chase, Tipping Point and HYBPA
This page follows the weeknight quiz hours from Monday 12 to Friday 16 October, slot by slot. Ratings were added for Monday, where TV Blackbox's and TV Central's tables agree, and for Tuesday, from TV Blackbox's overnight report; Wednesday to Friday's figures were not added, so those rows stay as the guide listed them. Game results stay marked not confirmed because no source we could cite published them.
Quick answer:
- Tipping Point Australia beat The Chase Australia at 5pm on Monday 12 October, 743,000 viewers to 665,000. It's the same 78,000-viewer gap in TV Blackbox's table and TV Central's.
- The Chase was up 63,000 on the Monday before (602,000). Tipping Point was down 33,000 from 776,000.
- Tuesday 13 October was the same story: Tipping Point 748,000, The Chase 683,000, up 29,000 and 68,000 on the Tuesday before.
- Who won on the day's Chase, Tipping Point, Deal and Hot Seat episodes isn't published by Seven, Nine or 10, so those cells are not confirmed.

Slots and episode numbers are from Nine's yourTV guide for Sydney, read on Monday 12 October, with Tuesday's Chase episode re-checked the next morning. Wednesday to Friday are listings, not reports of what went to air, and the numbers on Deal or No Deal and Hot Seat jump around within a series, so treat them as the guide's labels. Viewer figures are national averages from the next day's ratings tables. Tuesday's numbers are from TV Blackbox's overnight report and may change when final logs arrive.
Did anyone beat the Chaser on Monday?
Not confirmed as of Tuesday 13 October. Series 17 episode 16 aired at 5.00pm on Seven, and it's on 7plus if you'd like to watch the Final Chase for yourself. Seven doesn't post outcomes, and fans tend to write episodes up days later, if at all. Tipping Point's Monday hour is on 9Now. Our Chasers guide has the line-up, and the Chase viewing guide has the new-or-repeat table for the week.
Who won Have You Been Paying Attention? on Monday?
Not confirmed. The episode ran at 8.40pm on 10 and averaged 635,000 viewers, down from 691,000 the Monday before. The show's own YouTube channel uploaded it on 12 October as "Season Finale!", so check our HYBPA page for what's next in the slot. 10 repeats episode 24 at 11.30pm on Friday 16 October.

Only TV Blackbox's overnight report for Wednesday 14 October had these figures when we checked on Thursday 15 October, so they are single-source and may change when final logs arrive. The comparison column is TV Blackbox's own last-week figure. The Block averaged 1,050,000 on Nine that night. The Chase's and Tipping Point's results on the day are still not confirmed.
When do the ratings come out?
The afternoon after each broadcast. Monday and Tuesday's figures are on this page; the later nights were not added before the page closed, and this page is no longer being updated. Last week's closing night is on the 5 October page, and daily rundowns sit under The Chase.
