Kate Bracks wins Masterchef
An audience of 2.66 million viewers tuned in to see Kate Bracks, the 36 year-old mum from Orange, NSW win Masterchef Australia.
The Winner Announced episode is Network Ten’s highest rating episode this year and was the second highest rating program of the year across all networks, falling to last week’s Australia’s Got Talent final.
The show scored a 61% audience share across all key demographics but fell by 1.3million compared to last year’s final which boasted a 3.962million viewership, and 3.56million in the program’s first year in 2009.
Masterchef‘s first episode of the evening, Finale Night, saw Kate and Michael in two of the night’s three challenges to draw 2.33million. A third challenge of building a carrot snowman and announcement of the winner was not aired until after an episode of Network Ten’s other big budget competition program The Renovators.
As much as I have enjoyed watching Kate’s journey I was extremely disappointed that she scored 5 more points in the final than Michael. On the night I could not see how that difference was justified. In the wonderful Snowman test the judges gave Michael such high accolades which were not reflected in the scoring. It is a saving grace that Michael has been rewarded with a scholarship from Gary and I believe that humble young man will go from strength to strength under Gary’s guidance.
i have enjoyed alot specially the final episode they worked in such pressure specially kate but i agree that if you compare the comments and marks of micheal i felt that there is a diifernce but katre is best of all .i wish her best of luck for her nw jouney
