MKR should rebound tonight without Married at First Sight. Murder Uncovered will lose viewers from last week but should still outrate Murder Calls.
My Kitchen Rules 1.1m
Murder Uncovered 0.72m
Planet Earth II series premiere 0.83m
Murder Calls Australia series premiere 0.58m
I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 0.72m
This is Us 0.54m
Madam Secretary 0.32m
I expect I’m A Celebrity & the season premiere of Gogglebox to do well.
The Chase prime-time special should also rate well, Seven should have an easy win with The Ghan special & the series premiere of The Investigator (as well as multi-channels).
Nine’s night won’t cut it with RBT & a movie.
Also have to factor in being a low-rating Thursday.
Thursday February 16
Ten should dominate in the demos with I’m a Celebrity and the season premiere of Gogglebox. The Chase MKR special will struggle and fight for second spot against RBT.
The Chase Australia: MKR special 0.67m
Mighty Trains series premiere 0.54m
The Investigators: A True Crime Story series premiere 0.41m
I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 0.79m

The T20 will help Nine to win the night but the figures may not be as high as the network and Cricket Australia are hoping for. This match should have been held last week, just a few days after the Australian cricket team returned from NZ after the three-match ODI tour, while people’s interest in cricket was still relatively high.
Twenty20 cricket: Australia v Sri Lanka game 1 0.73m
Better Homes and Gardens 0.62m
Movie: The Blind Side rpt 0.42m
The Living Room 0.49m
The Graham Norton Show 0.35m

The Super Netball triple header will rate pretty well on 9Gem tonight. Coupled with repeat movies on 9GO!, Nine will be virtually unbeatable every Saturday until the end of May when the Super Netball grand final is held.
Super Netball: Giants v Swifts 0.17m
Super Netball: Vixens v Magpies 0.25m
Super Netball: Firebirds v Lightning 0.16m
Movie: Crocodile Dundee rpt 0.45m
Movie: The Castle rpt 0.39m
AFLW: Western Bulldogs v Melbourne 0.36m (Melbourne and Adelaide) + 0.12m (Sydney, Brisbane and Perth)
Sadly I don’t think the new netball competition will rate very well at all, dragging down 9Gem’s potential share & in turn Nine overall. Otherwise lots of movies once again across the multi-channels…
Sunday February 18
MKR will drop below the one million mark as some viewers switch to Twenty/20 cricket. Hoges will also attract less viewers than part 1.
Twenty/20 cricket: Australia v Sri Lanka game 2 0.81m
My Kitchen Rules 0.94m
Hoges: The Paul Hogan Story part 2 0.73m
Bondi Rescue 0.27m
I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here 0.76m (elimination 0.79m)
24: Legacy 0.28m
Homeland 0.15m
Married At First Sight will also drop (Seven have the momentum so far this week & not having a show since last Tuesday which has only just started to pull 1m and get very close to MKR… Never does the show any good).
