Last night, Seven, Nine and Network 10 enter the prime-time battleground again.
Their weapons, of course, were their signature shows.
Nine’s The Block pulled in 835,000 viewers – a downswing from its debut but still huge numbers.
The Masked Singer grew from its debut with 605,000 viewers, and Seven’s My Kitchen Rules suffered a loss of eyeballs with 408,000 viewers.
However, I wouldn’t count MKR out. Cooking shows sometimes take a while to boil, and Nigella’s signature warmth makes the cooking show feel more cosy and likeable than ever.
“Of course you’re the perfect partner to be judge with me this year Nigella. I’m a chef and you’re …. not a rabid anti vaaxer”. #MKR
