My Kitchen Rules finale cooks up 2.7m, Seven takes 37% share

The last in the season of My Kitchen Rules – the ratings winner of 2012 so far – amassed 2.675m viewers for Seven when South Australians Leigh and Jennifer were announced as winners last night.

The first hour of the two-hour episode pulled in 2.186m, with the show wiping the floor with its rivals from 7.30pm to 9.30pm.

Up against it on Nine was The Big Bang Theory, two episodes of 2 Broke Girls, Two And A Half Men and a new episode of Top Gear. The Big Bang Theory fared best with 768,000, but Top Gear – which was on during the last half hour of MKR – rated with just 271,000.

Ten put up a slightly better fight with an hour of The Biggest Loser, Bondi Vet and NCIS. Loser rated 872,000 while NCIS pulled in 646,000 – down from 884,000 last week.

The only non-Seven shows to make the top ten were Nine News, ABC News, A Current Affair and the temptation episode of The Biggest Loser.

Seven claimed a massive 36.6% share.
