It was yet another season high for MasterChef Australia last night, now surging past the 2.2m mark.
The show set two season records on consecutive nights, as viewers watched Aaron Harvie eliminated from the show over a very tasty meal of Fish and Chips. With figures like those, rival networks might be well-advised to hold off first-run episodes of their best material next week.
The show was light years in front of The Matty Johns Show / Vicar of Dibley (combined on 913,000), Getaway (715,000) and The 7:30 Report (682,000).
The big lead in also gave Bondi Vet a healthy “sneak preview” audience of 1.32m and on primary channels, TEN was the clear leader. Of concern to TEN would be Neighbours down to 534,000.
But GO!’s share of 5.4% pushed the Nine Network in front overall, with Seven having to settle for third place.

Obviously *some* people love to watch something that is about as interesting as watching the grass grow! Give those ratings boxes to more of the population and see how it rates.
Masterchef this Masterchef that. :S I’m so over this f*n crap!!!!!
@ Ryano
TEN has to show it between 6pm and Midnight for it to count as drama quotas which is why it is staying put for now. The only other viable spots are 6pm or 11:15pm after the News but the latter would make fans cry foul.
Actually its 5-11pm.
I am quite happy with Neighbours were it is thanks – don’t touch!
Susan Bower is Neighbours problem. She is the one who has made characters do things they wouldn’t normally do, thrown up idiotic storylines etc- read some old scripts for goodness sakes woman!
“Of concern to TEN would be Neighbours down to 534,000.”
Wow thats not good enough, move it to 4.30 on Ten and then when the 3rd channel fires up replay at 6.30pm.
6.30pm should be replaced by a half hour live and local Ten News or even better would be a parochial live and local version of Sports Tonight featuring interviews/features with local sports stars.
So in a market like Perth or Adelaide obviously you would spend a lot of time with local AFL team news. Would rate well in each city this time of year.
Mixed in with generic national sports stories. Would rate much, much higher than neighbours.
Can we please axe Neighbours? We’re done. Game over.
itll be amazing if they get close to last years ratings or even higher. It’ll be hard to beat though, but theyve got it in them.
I don’t get the 7pm project, it’s like they try too hard and it comes off somewhat pretentious at times. Don’t know exactly what it is, but I too will be interested to see if their ratings drop back.
I was a loyal 7PM viewer until they dumbed it down.
Now it is just on in the background because I don’t change the channel in between Neighbours and MC or I am out walking the dog.
Fire Carrie and I will start recording it again every day.
Nik, last night they did a story on Wilson’s Prom – what’s so pricey about that?
I find Getaway has too many pricey holidays that most people cannot afford. Escapism yes but no realism!
@ John, I too wonder if this will happen. I hope &pm has developed a loyal following, and I am sure 10 will be hoping so!
If Getaway was any other show it would be gone by now with those ratings!
I wonder if the ratings figures would be higher for Neighbours if it was in front of MasterChef like last year? As while I do like Neighbours and The 7PM Project (and was annoyed by the haters towards 7PM before MC came back), I do wonder if the ratings figures shown for 7PM Project will stay when MC goes, or go back to what they were before MC came. Not speaking like I am against those programs though (prefer them to MasterChef), just wondering what the ratings system will be like, once MC goes again.
