My Kitchen Rules debuts with 1.4m viewers – beats MasterChef by half a million
The first head-to-head battle between Seven’s My Kitchen Rules and Ten’s Masterchef: The Professionals saw a convincing win for MKR last night.
The debut episode of MKR won its time slot and was third overall for the night across the five city metro markets, according to preliminary ratings from OzTAM.
The show ran from 7.30-9pm and averaged 1.384m viewers.
To be honest, I disliked the Indian couple and the guy from QLD so much that I don’t think I’m going to watch this show again.
I know they pick people to make things ‘interesting’…. But those three were seriously just so incredibly annoying and irritating it made it almost unwatchable.
It would have been hard for anyone who watched Channel 7 this past month especially the tennis to not end up watching My Kitchen Rules. We practically saw three episodes worth of clips promoting the show.
The “Masterchef” franchise has run it’s course.
The Board of 10 should resign and let some professionals take over.
Used to love MKR but last night’s show was awful. The “characters” seem particularly forced this year and some of the lines they were sprouting really seemed like they were straight from cue-cards. And there’s not a hint of difference to the way the episode unfolds – people go shopping, run late, start stressing, guests arrive, lame banter…it just seemed to go on and on and on.
It would be interesting to see how MKR would go with the same sized audience lead in that Masterchef did. Does anyone know the respective numbers of the lead in shows?
But Kayla : that’s the whole point !
We all have our saints and sinners on these shows and that’s what makes them fun to watch.
Why are you watching this crap id rather watch a professional chef then some producers made up version on someone who thinks they can cook.
I think this show and others like it show just how Ugly many ‘ aussies ‘ are . Sad…..
And for those of us that hate cooking shows…. we are reminded of the joys of reading a book
Do the executives at the networks think that EVERYONE in Australia wants to watch this contrived rubbish? Not to mention the endless promos we’re forced to endure…called “sneak peaks” now. As though we’re supposed to be excited about more ads
How does a media buyer reach middle Australia now?
