My Kitchen Rules regains lead over Married at First Sight
My Kitchen Rules has topped Monday night ratings, retrieving the top spot from Married at First Sight, taking Seven to a win for the evening.
Alyse and Matt took to the kitchen last night and faced heavy criticism for using a jar of curry paste in their main course. Despite the misstep, it was positive news for MKR, with the show becoming the most watched program of the evening.
According to OzTAM’s overnight preliminary metro ratings MKR pulled 1.363m, slightly ahead of last week’s 1.340m.
The program was the most watched across key advertising demographics 16-39 and 25-54, but Nine’s Married at First Sight took out the 18-49s.
Married at First Sight’s second commitment ceremony saw 1.096m viewers tune in, falling from last week’s 1.107m.
Ten’s reality TV show competitor – I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here – gained viewers averaging 757,000, in front of last week’s 749,000.
