The gap between The Voice and MasterChef narrowed last night as Nine’s singing show dipped to 1.28m viewers. Masterchef held firm at 947,000, and defeated the singing show in Perth.

House Rules had an increase from 666,000 to 702,000.

How much the three-way battle was impacted by ABC’s Budget coverage isn’t so clear cut, the Treasurer’s speech rated higher than last Tuesday’s 7:30 in the same slot.

  1. I have been tuning in to the today show to see all that animosity I wonder with the ratings spiking was everyone else doing the same that suppose to be there between Sylvia the newsreader and the host Lisa wilkinson that’s been reported in the media . Definately think something is up between Sylvia and Lisa they don’t look comfortable talking to each other tension is there.
