Of course My Kitchen Rules (1st – 1,791,000) won – that’s de rigeur for now – but it’s the other shows up against it that make for interesting results. Ch9’s Earthflight (17th – 518,000) isn’t exactly taking off; & Ch10’s The Biggest Loser (10th – 805,000) & 2012 Energy Australia Swimming Championships (22nd – 449,000) average out to 627,000. As a commercial network how do you compete with a runaway hit? I guess you don’t.
