Tuesday TV Wrap: Lego Masters Dilutes MasterChef’s Consommé
Nine’s Lego Masters was again the top entertainment show of Tuesday, posting 1.02 million viewers last night according to OzTAM metro numbers.

Lego handed Nine the Tuesday win with 29.9 per cent audience share. Seven was second with 26.1 per cent. The ABC had 15.1 per cent, while SBS – boosted by Who Do You Think You Are? (391,000) – did 8.9 per cent.

Nine’s other doers were its 6pm news (991,000), ACA (855,000), Big Bang Theory (599,000) and Hot Seat (522,000).
