What are you watching on TV tonight? Monday 20 August

I’m planning on watching The Newsroom and Masterchef USA

Hurray! Finally we get to see episode two of The Newsroom, tonight at 8.30pm on Soho. After watching the ‘sneak peek’ episode back in July, it felt a bit mean making us wait until now to see the second episode, but oh well, that time has come.

On the episode, Mac asserts her control of the News Night rundown; Jim takes a fall for Maggie; and a breakup secret gets out. Can’t wait.

The Kiwi duo of Simon and Meg are out to prove their worth on tonight’s episode of My Kitchen Rules (7.30pm, TV2). Last time they were left deflated after failing to prove that Kiwis make the best pavlovas, so they’re desperate to make amends. But will they make the most of their second chance? Let’s hope so. National pride is at stake here…!

The third season of Masterchef USA starts tonight on Prime at 8.30pm. Chefs Gordon Ramsay and Graham Elliot, along with wine-maker Joe Bastianich, put the contestants through their paces as the search for the next US masterchef commences. Bound to be full of drama and tantrums!
