Masterchef finale grabs more viewers than The Voice helping Ten dominate the night
More than 1.7m metro viewers tuned into the finale of Masterchef last night to see bob cat driver Brent Owens defeat student Laura Cassai in a three stage pressure cookoff.
The result for the show, which has built audiences steadily throughout the season, outrated the finale of The Voice which got 1.57m metropolitan overnight viewers last Monday night for its winner announced segment according to OzTam for its winner announced segment.
The cooking show’s audience of 1.703m lifted slightly from the 1.654m who tuned into the two-hour long cookoff segment which started at 7.30pm, and the result helped Ten to a commanding win for the night getting 25.7 per cent of the audience share, its biggest prime time audience since July 2012. Nine took 17.2 per cent and Seven just 14.8 per cent.
Nine’s The Block: Glasshouse had 926,000 viewers up against Masterchef at 7.30pm, with Seven’s Highway Patrol and The Force – Behind the Line getting just 695,000 and 707,000 respectively for the 7.30pm to 8.30pm timeslot.
Big numbers Masterchef – congrats.
Good to see TEN back at the top, well done
Is there any help available for those of us with PMCS (post-masterchef syndrome)?
What the hell am I supposed to do tonight without Masterchef?
Good show! Very good! Surprised but impressed!
Today is yesterday. Golden boy Karl is gone.
…off to SEVEN no doubt!
