Seven relegated to third place while Ten tops the ratings on the back of Masterchef success
In a quiet night on TV Ten won the evening with Masterchef pulling in 1.363m metro viewers, handing the channel a winning audience share of 18.4 per cent.
The cooking show easily out-rated Seven’s Border Security – Australia’s Front Line which was watched by 743,000 metro viewers while Nine’s RBT grabbed 617,000. Masterchef was also the most-watched show across the key advertising demographics (16-39, 18-49 and 25-54).

Ten’s The Project at 7pm was another strong player for the channel, pulling in a crowd of 772,000 after 518,000 tuned in at 6.30pm. The second half hour of the news panel show was the second-most watched show across the key advertising demographics.
In the 8.30pm timeslot, Seven’s Criminal Minds was watched by 660,000, Nine’s movie Man of Steel, on from 8.45pm, pulled in 437,000 and Ten’s Madam Secretary had an audience of 618,000.
