TV ratings: Nine’s Home Made bombs as Ten’s MasterChef surges
MasterChef Australia appears to be coming good for Ten, while Nine’s big hope of Home Made debuted in a disastrous third place in its timeslot on Sunday night.
Last night’s MasterChef pulled in a ratings audience of almost 1.5m, making it the third most watched TV show of the night according to preliminary OzTam ratings.
The show, which during its first few days dipped to around 1m, appears to have picked up momentum. At the end of last week, Ten released data that suggested it was outperforming its previous shows Big Brother and The Biggest Loser.
But home makeover show Home Made was a major disappointment for Nine in its 6.30pm slot. It rated only a fraction over 1m, well behind Seven’s Sunday Night (1.3m) and Ten’s Merlin (also 1.3m) which were its timeslot rivals.
Would be nice to see them pull the reno show leaving unfinished homes. Seems to be more to empathise with on the cooking one. Who could ever care about those design turds on the other show?
Who’s surprised that “Home Made” hasn’t come off as Nine hoped it would? It didn’t work in it’s previous incarnation “The Hothouse”.
As for “Harper’s Island” again no suprise, nothing follows Rove and works.
