Masterchef Tuesday night leader ahead of Top Gear and NCIS
Ten’s Masterchef again led in the ratings race yesterday, beating the Seven’s big hope for Tuesday nights Australia’s Got Talent and the often top-rating car show Top Gear on Nine.
Overall, Tuesday nigths have this year tended to be led by either Top Gear, Ten’s NCIS or Seven’s My Kitchen Rules – which aired its finale on March 22.
Last night, the second episode of Masterchef attracted 1.536m viewers and also led among younger viewers.
In the same 7:30pm time slot, Seven’s Australia’s Got Talent had 1.452m, while Nine’s Top Gear came third with 1.174m, according to preliminary overnight OzTam data in the main metro markets.
That’s because channel 9 insists on running OLD episodes of Top Gear during their so called “new series” on Tuesdays. The Vietnam episode has been on SBS at least twice. I guess they are trying to catch all the newbies who never watched TG on SBS, but all they are doing is alienating the true followers. Don’t get me wrong, I applaud them running previous episodes on other nights and declaring they are older series episodes (I think we can tell by the guys ages and weights, let alone the car models), but I think is is a bit of a con throwing them in the NEW SERIES mix.

Too right! So annoying when you’re set to watch a new ep and you get served a rerun of a rerun.
