Intruders into The Bachelor mansion deliver Ten ratings win with 906,000 viewers
Ten’s decision to send new bachelorettes into The Bachelor mansion last night proved a ratings winner with the show pulling in 906,000 metro viewers to be the most-watched non-news show of the evening.
It was up on last week’s audience of 877,000 and was also the most-watched show across the key advertising demographics (16-39, 18-49 and 25-54).
While The Bachelor did out rate Nine’s The Hotplate, which drew an audience of 797,000 in the 7.30pm timeslot, and Seven’s The Force – Behind The Line which grabbed 792,000, it wasn’t enough for Ten to claim a ratings victory with a share of 15.3 per cent.
Nine won the night, thanks to Nine News pulling in 1.106m at 6pm and 1.059m at 6.30pm and A Current Affair grabbing 971,000 at 7pm, with a share of 18.6 per cent.
Seven managed second place with a share of 16.2 per cent as the ABC settled for a share of 14.1 per cent.
On the ABC, the second outing of Utopia at 9pm was watched by 738,000, slightly down on last week’s audience of 779,000.
