Masterchef and Glee are Ten’s big Thursday ratings winners, with Glee yesterday attracting its highest ever overnight audience.

While Masterchef led with an average audience of 1.65m, Glee had 1.339m, according to preliminary overnight OzTam data in the main metro markets.

The two shows also took out the top two most-watched spots for viewers 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54, led by the cooking show. And among 16-39s Ten’s The 7PM Project came in third.
