Ousted MasterChef contestant Sarah Clare was a guest on The Project with Lisa Wilkinson filling in for Carrie Bickmore this week. The episode did 526,000 after 572,000 on Monday.

After being one of the top 10 to get a $10,000 cheque from Coles on Sunday night to further their food dreams, Khan Hong tried to get an immunity pin too, but guest chef Ash Davis from Melbourne was too good in the end. The episode did 848,000, which pushed it well ahead of the competition.

Shark Tank did 515,000 after 610,000 a week ago. Victorian entrepreneurs Laynton Allan and Adrian Rockman entered the Tank seeking $375,000 for a 15% share in their childcare business, KidsCo.

After much consideration, they accepted his counter offer of $300,000 for 25% with a $75,000 line of credit, which was the biggest deal of the night.
