Masterchef rollercoaster continues while Go’s Survivor gets 600% catch-up viewing spike
Masterchef’s rollercoaster Thursday evening form continued with the show pulling in 870,000 viewers last night, could not topple Seven’s soapie Home and Away which was the top non-news show of the night.
Last week Ten’s reality cooking show pulled in just 578,000 viewers and failed to make the top-20 most time-shifted shows of the week, half of the previous week’s season high of just over 1m viewers, but recovered last night to be the seventh most-watched show of the night, topping the 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54 demographics according to OzTam’s metro overnight ratings.
As is usual for Thursdays news dominated the evening, with Seven again coming in on top at 6pm with 1.229m viewers, against Nine’s 1.104m, and beating its rivals at 6.30pm with its mix of news and Today Tonight with 1.083m viewers against 970,000.
Nine’s showing of Top Gear in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane from 7.30-8.40pm pulled in 530,000 viewers, while Seven’s showing of Border Security: International from 8-9pm got 685,000 viewers. ABC’s British period drama Call the Midwife was edged out by Masterchef with 840,000 from 8.30pm to 9.30pm.
