House Rules tops Reno Rumble but Masterchef tops the million mark in reality TV war
Seven’s got a reality boost last night as House Rules lifted above rival Reno Rumble on Nine, but neither challenger could match Ten’s cooking juggernaut Masterchef according to OzTam overnight metro ratings.
The first room reveal for House Rules grabbed 931,000 viewers for a two hour special between 7pm to 9pm, well up on its previous outings since launching last Tuesday. Reno Rumble could only manage 823,000, down on its debut, between 7pm-8pm.
Masterchef was the only non-news show to score above the million mark to hold strong with 1.146m from 7.3opm to 9pm, while Shark Tank at 9pm (656,000) and a double episode of new Modern Family (479,000 and 667,000) helped the channel beat Nine in total audience share.
