Why have dignity when you can have fame? The travel guides stayed closer to home yesterday as they got better acquainted with rural Australia.
Amongst the many delights of the New South Wales Riverina and Victorian High Country was a lemon meringue pie eating contest. Which, it transpires, is harder than it looks.
What was a loss for the contestant’s dignity, however, was a win for Nine. The show was the most-watched entertainment show of the night with 622,000 metro viewers signing up to watch.
This helped Nine (just) win the largest slice of the pie (excuse the pun) with a total audience share of 28.3 per cent.
It just nudged above Seven with 28.1 per cent, Network 10 with 17.6 per cent, the ABC with 15.9 per cent and SBS with 10.1 per cent.
Seven’s The Chase was the second most-watched show entertainment show of the night with 549,000 views. Seven’s Home and Away pulled in 473,000 views and The 1% Club (also Seven) had 469,000 views.
Network 10’s MasterChef Australia had a total of 408,000 views.
