It’s not very often that Channel 7 and Channel 9 both release their networks landmark shows on the same night as each other… and also covering the same category.
In case you were already having withdrawals from reality shows MasterChef, MKR, House Rules or The Block – fear not as 2 new food-reality shows The Hotplate and Restaurant Renovation have now launched!

#TheHotplate: The Hotplate wins the Twitter war
Reviewing the statistics from the start of the week until today and no surprise given they had won the TV battle, The Hotplate was also the Twitter winner.
#Thehotplate generated an estimated 15.6 million Twitter impressions, while #RestaurantRevo generated an estimated 8.2 million Twitter impressions. It will be interesting to see if Hotplate can continue to stay ahead as both shows increase their social activity. Also as the shows progress and the contestants will begin to build their own following and influence online.
