MasterChef Australia-Season 8-Episode62-2

Not even multichannels could TEN’s raid on ratings last night -with the network having a red hot shot of taking the week.

MasterChef Australia‘s semi final topped the night with 1.44m viewers -its biggest numbers all year. The penultimate episode, which saw Harry leave the kitchen, again topped the Demos. It was TEN’s biggest primetime audience in a year.

Earlier Seven News and A Current Affair both won their timeslots. Love Child was down against heated competition.

But it was ABC’s shocking Four Corners expose that today has the nation talking with Prime Minister Turnbull announcing a Royal Commission. It ranked second in its slot.

  1. Such a pity Love Child didn’t rate better, probably the best Aussie drama in a long time for me. Good to see Masterchef doing so well, though it wouldn’t have done so well if it had some decent competition.

    1. Yes, Lovechild is one of the better local dramas.
      Burning it off in double episodes would definitely not be helping it achieve good ratings.
      Deserves better treatment by 9.

  2. Has another season of Love Child been commissioned? Channel 9 are sure rushing it out of the way before the Olympics and the ratings are telling.

        1. Can’t see 10 doing that, maybe if they had another 2 ep of MC, but Tuesday is way too early to build a win on for 10, even on Primary, they will be doing 7s on Saturday and back to the usual 10-14s during the week after tonight
