My Kitchen Rules takes nearly 2m

Seven’s strong start to the first week of the official ratings period continued on Wednesday night, with My Kitchen Rules winning the night, and the network taking five of the top six spots.

The cooking contest had its best outing of the year with 1.923m viewers across the five city metro, according to preliminary data from OzTam.

Across the key advertising demos of 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54, MKR was in a class of its own with nearly double the ratings of the second place show for the night, fellow Seven show Please Marry My Boy. Despite coming second in the key demos, Please Marry My Boy was fifth in total people with an average of 1.030m.

In second place for total viewers was Seven News with 1.19m, followed by Nine News rating 1.12m. Home and Away rated 1.04m in third place.

The series return of the BBC’s present day take on Sherlock Sherlock averaged 874,000 across its two hours on Nine – strong for the timeslot.

Ten’s Talkin’ Bout Your Generation had a stinker, rating 592,000 and faring little better in the key demos. Ten’s best show of the night was the Biggest Loser with a disappointing 707,000 although it was fifth in the 18-49 demo.

The Project rated a poor 433,000 for ten.
