I don't know about the repeat but the newest episode got 1.5m so not much of a drop.

With The Voice treated as filler, it's perhaps thought there's not much point of having a decent lead-in whereas more effort will be made if it's The Masked Singer or BGT. Equally, if the general standard of shows that ITV commission including those outside of Strictly season (Moneyball, In With A Shout, Romeo & Duet, The Void, Small Fortune) is so poor, it's probably best them not wasting any more money.

Survivor following Strictly was a surprise so maybe ITV didn't think of that either, but then again, it would have been The Wheel or Blankety Blank being seen as too much of a ratings challenge so The Voice it is...
