Humans turn the tables on animals as The Bachelor beats Seven’s odd couples
Ten’s The Bachelor turned the tables on The World’s Oddest Animal Couples last night on TV, but neither could stop Nine from running away with the biggest audience share.
The Bachelor got and audience of 750,000 last night, up on the 661,000 in the 7.30pm timeslot, as Seven’s offering of bizarre animal pairings on for an hour from 8pm slipped from 765,000 last week to 692,000 this week. However Home and Away, on for an hour from 7pm, beat the first 30 minutes of The Bachelor with 819,000 viewers for Seven.
Nine dominated the night for audience share, despite having a split schedule, with the NRL grudge match between the Rabbitohs and Roosters shown in Sydney and Brisbane pulling a bumper audience of 760,000, and The Block: Glasshouse getting 650,000 viewers in the other three metro markets, according to OzTam’s overnight ratings.
Those shows, plus the strength of The Footy Show which got 761,000 viewers, gave Nine a huge 27.2 per cent audience share, with Seven second on 16.2 per cent and Ten third on 13 per cent, with ABC on 11.7 per cent.
