Nine will win whilst it has the Voice, does it have anything else to challenge 7?
It isn’t. Please refer to story thanks.
David why is this the first ratings week of the year?
And it only took four blind audition episodes of The Voice to do it. I think they’ll win this week also.
Ten better make sure that they show Promos for the next Masterchef until after the Episode Fully airs.
Amateur (and therefore arguably typical) mistake by Ten during Masterchef last night – the first two ad breaks featured TVCs for the next night’s elimination, with a clear shot of the four participating contestants.
To quote themselves – “seriously”?
