The six-week long format premiered to 316,000 watching live on **9Go!** and a later encore on Nine’s main channel. After shifting exclusively to 9Go!, the overnight audience averaged 175,000 with the majority of the audience in the youngest demographic groups. In addition, the show has become a hit on Nine’s catch up service **9Now** where it has broken records for the network and dominated the top ten lists each week. Elsewhere, on a night when almost all programs rated lower, there was little change from the previous week in network shares with **Seven** (33.6%) again well clear of **Nine** (25.8%), **Ten** (19.2%), **ABC** (13.3%) and **SBS** (8.0%). The top entertainment show was again _MasterChef_ with the Thursday elimination rating 738,000 and topping all key demographic groups as split schedules for Seven and Nine made other comparisons difficult. _Seven News_ (942,000 and 844,000) was the night’s number one program. _Home and Away_ was shown in three markets to an audience of 425,000 with _Funniest Cutest Kittens Ever_ following on 277,000 and a movie _The Other Woman_ on 211,000. _Thursday Night AFL_ had 516,000 (Pre: 266,000, Post: 274,000) across Seven and **7Mate** as Wimbledon later managed 218,000. _Nine News_ (880,000 and 854,000) and _A Current Affair_ (644,000) topped Nine’s night as Live NRL delivered 365,000 in two markets (211,000 pre-match) with _RBT_ (188,000) and _Britain’s Got Talent_ (179,000) shown in three markets. The _NRL Footy Show_ averaged 177,000 for the early segment. _MasterChef_ (738,000) was again Ten’s best with _Todd Sampson’s Bodyhack 2.0_ later on 362,000. Earlier in the night _Ten News_ had 416,000, _The Project_ 487,000 and 311,000 and _Family Feud_ 265,000. _ABC News_ (657,000) and _7.30_ (431,000) bucked the night’s trend and improved week-on-week however _Grand Design Australia_ slipped to 403,000. Next best were _Sammy J_ (278,000), _Everyone’s a Critic_ (195,000), _Think Tank_ (179,000) and _Pointless_ (153,000). _Great Railway Journeys_ topped SBS’s night with 256,000 while _The Handmaid’s Tale_ had 215,000. At 5pm _The Chase_ (605,000 and 377,000) was well ahead of _Hot Seat_ (506,000 and 308,000). Earlier afternoon results included _Seven News at 4_ (203,000), _Seven News at 4.30_ (222,000) and _Nine’s Afternoon News_ (156,000) with _Ten’s The Bold and the Beautiful_ on 266,000.
