Nine overwhelms Seven's X Factor SEVEN'S talent show The X Factor topped the night's viewing, pulling in 1.552 million viewers in the five capital cities and 2.355 million nationally but that was not enough to overcome a strong line-up on Nine. 60 Minutes, which featured a heavily promoted story about the struggle to become a mother of comedienne Mary Coustas (better known by her alter ego 'Effie') was the second-ranked program with 1.493 million, followed by Nine News (1.419 million) and Domestic Blitz: The Block to the Rescue (1.359 million).
