TV ratings wrap: MasterChef Australia goes out with a bang
MasterChef Australia’s winner announcement served an entertainment and key demos win for Ten on Sunday night. However, the episode’s average viewership tied with Seven’s Dancing with the Stars.
After two rounds of culinary competition, including a gruelling pressure test of more than five hours where the final two contestants were challenged to make a chocolate clock by popular pâtissier Amaury Guichon, Brent Draper emerged as the winner of this season’s MasterChef.
