Ten picked up from Monday’s dismal audience share with hit US drama Under the Dome again beating Nine’s Great Australian Bake Off in the 8.30pm time slot.

The third-rated network stole a 15.4% share, finishing just 2.7% behind Nine, as Big Brother (880,000) dipped again coming tenth overall, with Bake Off languishing in 15^th spot with 675,000 viewers, as Under the Dome claimed ninth overall with 881,000.

Seven again dominated the night’s total audience viewing, with the most-watched show of the night The X Factor (1.48m), Seven News (1.305m), Today Tonight (1.082m), Home and Away (1.015m) and Winners and Losers (1.015m) in the top ten.

MasterChef continued to rally with 803,000, 11^th overall and winning the battle of the cooking competitions after losing last week to ABC1’s Kitchen Cabinet, which last night got 663,000.
