House Rules (1st – 1,377,000) and MasterChef Australia (9th – 828,000) battle it out while the Big Bangs have to settle for third. The Goldbergs (ep1: 8th – 869,000; ep2: 15th – 664,000) premiere OK but can’t beat out Offspring (10th – 828,000), and Ten keep the momentum going with The Good Wife (22nd – 442,000) also winning its timeslot. Sadly, even with the apology wedged between them, Spicks and Specks (25th – 371,000) and Jonah from Tonga (36th – 289,000) don’t draw as many eyes as their respective camps would hope for.
