Where is everyone getting this celebrity masterchef rumour from? Could it be that the UK has just started their season of Celebrity MC and people are seeing it trend in Twitter and getting confused?
Not to be a Ten troll but I am confident they won’t dilute the brand for at least another two to three seasons.

I don’t buy that less than 30% of the audience being over 50. What’s your source?

I’ve heard from someone at Ten that Masterchef peaked at 2.380 million. That is an insane figure, especially considering the percentage of the over 50s audience is less than 30%. To hold the attention of such a huge number of under 50s is an amazing achievement and very rare in today’s television environment. When Seven and Nine have shows attracting 2 million viewers, they are always propped up by a huge percentage of viewers aged over 50.

Ten should put The US Biggest Loser on during the afternoons at 3pm. It would appeal to the same audience who watch repeats of Ready Steady Cook. The once a week show isnt as appealing as the aussie version.

The US Biggest Loser has to go, I love the high prodution Aussie version and can’t stomach (pun intented) the cheap, not even in wide screen US one … Ten should follow Rove with more comedy or move US Dance into that slot … would make for a perfect night of light entertainment to farewell the weekend

I don’t think ever in TEN’s wildest dreams did they envision MasterChef reaching these Underbelly/Packed to the Rafters-like figures. And Nine would be happy with Random Acts of Kindness (finally a series they launch that didn’t tank!), helping them come a solid second. RAOK is not that bad – I watched the last 15 minutes and although it was almost obscenely sappy, it was utterly harmless unlike some other factual series.

The finale for Masterchef next month may well be the biggest rating show this year. Its only got to beat 2.5 mil, and the way its going, it will be there soon.

Harry, Ten dont squeeze a weeks work of US Loser into 90mins. NBC only air TBL for 90mins, once a week. Ten actually spread out the aussie one to air over 6 nights. The Aussie version that ten produces is a much higher quality show, even the US trainers Bob and Jillan thought so (they did seasons 1 – 2 in Aus and were part of the twist, training the secret “black team” in season 3 of the aussie version).

As for Masterchef, Wow who would of thought that this would be as big as BB and Idol was in there 1st seasons, but nearly 2 mil for a sunday challenge is amazing (it actually peaked at over 2mil). ROK did ok, not a bad show but if there were better 6:30 options i’d watch them, up until last week i watched nuffing on 6.30 sunday.

Random Acts of Kindness is actually getting a lot of love from people who have searched the net and left comments on an earlier story here. Correction: Apologies for comparing early Today show figures with later Sunrise figures. Now corrected.

I can see the Random Acts of Kindness discussion going into what i saw on the Chaser posts – anyone who laughs is a bad person. Similarly, anyone who does not like the idea of these types of factual shows is a bad person. So before anyone says something like that – no.
