Seven wins Thursday as My Kitchen Rules claims timeslot

Ratings: Bon appétit. Seven has its first nightly win of the ratings year.

Thursday offered some good news for Seven with My Kitchen Rules managing to win its timeslot.

As the only Reality show in its slot, the show drew 517,000 viewers. While that equalled its best audience so far, it’s not a particularly strong number for the timeslot.

But at least it was ahead of 7:30 (504,000), Ambulance Australia (485,000) and RBT (442,000). However it was Ambulance Australia that led demos in the slot.

  1. Massive Transformers fan (who drives a Decepticon car and rides an Autobot motorbike…seriously!) here, but TF:TLK is one of the worst movies of the last 20 years. The only way to make it even worse was to add commercial breaks. I am so sorry to the 231,000 people who endured that.

      1. David : Yeah, we’re Whovians and we iView it ASAP because the FTA showing is a whole couple of days later. (Loving the current season, incidentally). I wonder if the ratings would improve if ABC chucked it on FTA quickly like Nine do with Survivor…
        aesthetic : How very true. Just look at MAFS.

    1. Don’t apologise to anyone who sat and watched that movie. Never underestimate the total crap people will sit, watch and really enjoy. And no doubt a lot of them would’ve!

  2. I enjoyed Survivor Winners at War, gonna be a ln interesting season. Wonder if Ten would ever consider a US v Aus season, possible as a first season in 2021 as can’t imagine another all stars season. That would be interesting. Or even Survivor: World War with contestants from all countries with a local version.

  3. Isn’t Survivor (American version) a reality show! No mention of it here but expect it would have attracted a good size audience, particularly those fans of both Survivor shows
