Viewers cool on Hell’s Kitchen as The Block and Survivor win Monday prime time
The second episode of Seven’s new cooking show Hell’s Kitchen failed to beat Nine or Ten’s rival reality shows when they went head to head at prime time last night.
While the show premiered with 817,000 metro viewers on Sunday, last night’s audience averaged 615,000 metro viewers, behind Nine’s The Block and Ten’s Australian Survivor, which had metro audiences of 1.093m and 637,000 respectively.
Last night the celebrities were taken to a farm
Maybe people are tuning out to Hell’s Kitchen because they’re tired of shows that base their entertainment on cruelty and the Tears/Minute (TPM) scale?
I don’t think Hells Kitchen is showing any cruelty. MPW is a chef, not a TV host. Just because he doesn’t drop F-bombs like Gordon Ramsay does.
Hey @Zoe, not surprised Hell’s Kitchen dropped as it’s just not very good television – MPW isn’t the kind of car-crash bad host that Zumbo turned out to be (funny how some people look great when they’re doing 5 minute spots just can’t sustain a show), but the casting and the production is pretty average…BUT, aren’t you missing the real story here?
If I’m reading this right this time next year dropped over 400k viewers – 1.282m to 872k from show 1 to show 2 – surely that’s the headline? Happy to stand corrected if I have fudged the numbers, but that is a big drop.
Also, are we completely devoid of good talent in the host slots? Darren McMullen, Karl, MPW, Sonia…not compelling are they?
cheers
