State of Origin pulls in 2.5m for Nine, but Mat Beyer eviction still rates for Masterchef

Last night’s State Of Origin decider rated a massive 2.468m for Nine on Wednesday night. However, the big game failed to dent Ten’s audience for Masterchef which saw 1.701m tune in to see the disqualification of contestant Mat Beyer.
