Seven has drawn first blood in the 2013 ratings year with a slam dunk thanks to My Kitchen Rules.
The Reality show took the top 4 places in the weekly results, as high as 2.1m viewers (Wednesday) and cemented its place as the first hit of the year.
If Nine hadn’t won Friday night it would have been another hat trick for Seven. Meanwhile the ABC landed ahead of TEN.

Ratings for Revenge are poor given the approximately 3M they got last year at the same time. Strange.
@ jezza the first original one….as they are messing with The Living Room, which was starting to show promise…I can see the situation changing again…quickly…*sigh*
At least ch10 are pushing for that 3rd place, they seem to have consolidated 4th and are no longer under threat from SBS. Their management must be pleased with this progress
