Seven’s My Kitchen Rules narrowed the gap on Nine’s The Voice on Sunday night, despite a blunder which saw an MKR promo aired in some states during the show which gave away last night’s winner.

The Voice was top show for the night with 1.985m viewers while MKR was third with 1.556m viewers, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTAM. The gap of 429,000 was less than last Sunday’s 592,000.

Meanwhile, Ten’s best performer Elementary rated 803,000, similar to last week

Last week, Elementary was Ten’s only show in the top 40 most watched, coming in 37th. The Voice and MKR took six of the top seven spots. Seven narrowly won the ratings week with a share of 24.2 per cent. Nine’s was 23.8 per cent and ABC1 was on 12.9 per cent, followed by Ten’s 10.6 per cent.
