At last a reality show, Where the Judges are not spiteful to get the ratings.All of their critism throughout the series were genuine but constructive . The contestants appeared not to be nasty about each other.Competative yes nasty no.Congratulations not just to Julie but the Judges and Channel 10. One day Channel 9 and Channel 7 will realise that there are other people out their who want to whatch good programmes that are not sport or headline grabbers.

Verdict is poor and Julie is not a deserved winner. I think something else appart from skill was running in judge mind. Only they know for they selected Julie as Master chef.

Good program crap ending. Put morderate judges, otherwise it will become a crap program.

Brilliant!

Very happy to see that TEN has won the ratings, although with MasterChef Australia (a show I don’t support).

Good to see TEN doing well!

Congratulations Ten! Let’s see if it can keep it up for the rest of the year.
@ FJ: the next rugby league rights will be split into NRL regular season, finals, State of Origin and international test match packages, so anything can happen.

Cool that TEN won!
I just can’t believe that they only won by such a small amount considering they’ve got a show on their hands which was pulling in over 2 million each evening for over an hour.. ah well.. it’s a win for them none the less..
Shame they’re not allowed to celebrate their win.. otherwise, they’d be seen as very hypocritical hehe

A heartening win for TEN after a horrid 2008, demonstrating the huge rewards of huge risks. I don’t think anyone thought MasterChef would be this big – most people thought it would fail.

No doubt they will return to being third for the rest of the year, but they’ll probably be a more competitive third rather than an “almost slipping to fourth” third, given their current momentum and the slow demise of Nine. A lot of it rides on the success of The 7PM Project. I really hope it works out for them so the ratings doesn’t go back to the traditional and more boring two-horse race.

I hope the NRL ditch 9 next rights deal. 7 wanted it last time and it would get better ratings on a network that people watch. Like what happened when AFL went to 9 when 9 were still the one.

good work for ten with the win for the wk, but I can’t see them surviving without masterchef and merlin finishes nxt wk and tayg will help for another month and its all down hill from there, so seven should climb back to ratings glory as more big shows keep coming back with city homicide and a bunch of factuals programs that they do very well at and i think there new comedy hour on thurs looks promising but one thing I am worried about is the low ratings night its on.

I hope Ten can keep up the momentum by greenlighting some more reasonable quality content. Of the reality/game-show genre I think Masterchef was a master-stroke. I was able to watch something in a genre I normally avoid like the plague. The interesting cooking challenges, people personal best rather than stabby competition and a critic who was able to talk in depth, occasionally at length, the characteristics of foods texture in the mouth in primetime was a bizare hit. A perfect storm.

Nine’s bosses must wonder what they need to do when they can only get third on a SoO week (although as noted they did win Qld and NSW).

Well done Ten. You deserve the win, when everyone doubted the success of Masterchef this time last year.

Congrats to Ten.
Nine has to be gutted, even with SOO they came 3rd.How the once mighty have fallen, now if only they would admit their progamming sucks.Their total disregard for the viewing public has come home to roost.
Seven have learnt to respect viewers.
Take note Ten , we don’t need pretty faces and wannabe models/celebs, we like Masterchef and real people and your choice to have judges that judge has worked.
I am so over “judges that wannabe the star turn”

Don’t forget that Neighbours on Friday also beat ACA in the head to head, which has never happened that I can recall.

6 Neighbours Ten 998,000 304,000 300,000 190,000 97,000 108,000
7 Home And Away Seven 981,000 291,000 266,000 207,000 109,000 108,000
8 A Current Affair Nine 979,000 272,000 304,000 225,000 102,000 75,000

Congrats to 10, they certainly deserve it, having taken a huge risk with the removal of Big Brother and an even bigger risk to fill it with a cooking show of all things, amazing, never thought MC would work. Perhaps 10 need to focus on family friendly viewing, even as match as David Mott couldn’t care about it winning all demos isn’t so bad after all esp when you can produce a weekly total people win!
