Seven
After 688,000 on Monday, Home and Away Tuesday did 697,000.
My Kitchen Rules started with groups 1 and 2 being welcomed to the grounds of the elimination house. Manu explained that from now on it will be group 1 versus group 2. Pete added every time the groups come together, one team will be going home. The teams had to nominate the cooks for the battle. Kim and Suong represented group 1 while Georgie and Alicia promised to start knocking off group 1, one team at a time. The rules then started to get a little complex for this viewer although the ratings indicate everyone else grasped it! The losing team, Kim & Suong and the rest of group 1, found themselves in round 2 in an elimination cook-off. They were all asked to cook a dish that represented their culture or a culture they have a strong affinity with. The group 1 team with the weakest dish was eliminated – that was Stuss and Steve from Queensland. The Tuesday episode did 1.11m after 988,000 a week ago.
The Good Doctor then returned with episode 14 on 949,000 as Dr Shaun worked with a young cancer patient who identified as a girl while being biologically male. It was one of the few episodes under 1m.
