Ten had 949,000 metro viewers tune in for The Biggest Loser winner announcement, down from 1.248m for the winner announcement last year, preliminary overnight ratings from OzTam show.

The winner announcement was the most watched part of the program as Ten had 860,000 for the final weigh-in and 650,000 for the main program, which was third in its timeslot from 6.30pm.

However, the show did top the timeslot in the 25-54 demographics, coming second to Seven News but beating Nine News, and its final weigh in segment was fifth, as it helped Channel Ten to a 13 per cent audience share, more than twice its usual share for the past few Sunday evenings.

Winning the timeslot was Seven with Sunday Night taking in 1.122m metro viewers, although the network was edged out at 7.30pm with 1.061m for the second part of My France With Manu, a two-part series with MKR chef Manu Feildel.

Downton Abbey then won the 8.30pm timeslot with 1.068m metro viewers on Seven, ranking it the most popular entertainment show of the night. However, Ten’s Elementary saw a lift to 478,000 viewers, from 415,000 last Sunday evening.

Nine’s David Attenborough’s Secrets of Wild India took in 834,000 from 6.30pm, before 60 Minutes at 7.30pm grabbed 1.064m, and The Mentalist then returned to the channel with a double header taking in 569,000 for the first episode at 8.30pm and 383,000 for the second, a repeat, at 9.30pm.
