Nine wins in a fairly close but ultimately snoreboring night. MasterChef dominated with 1.31 million national viewers for Ten. House Rules for Seven remained resolutely stuck in a very deep rut with 833,000. Julia Zemiro’s Home Delivery got 825,000.
Tonight it’s the second round of the NRL reborn — the Brisbane Broncos v the Sydney Roosters from a vast, empty stadium in inner Brisbane… up against MasterChef from a kitchen in inner Melboring.
Meanwhile, Seven has buried the return of the Front Bar tonight at 11.25pm in Sydney. No guts.
In breakfast, Sunrise won with 465,000 national and 274,000 in the metros, from Today with 329,000/213,000 and ABC News Breakfast on 325,000/228,000.
