Love fades for Ten’s The Bachelor
The Bachelor has lost viewers in its third outing with just 576,000 watching the show on Channel Ten last night, preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam show.
The Bachelor fell from a weak debut of 669,000 viewers last Sunday, when it was eleventh for the night, to fifteenth last night.
And it did not fare much better in Ten’s target demographic of 25-54s, where it was tenth for the night, and it was ninth in under 55’s.
The new Ten show was soundly beaten in the 7.30pm timeslot by 60 Minutes on Channel Nine and The X Factor on Seven both in total viewers and in 25-54’s.
“Love fades for Ten” – time to get rid of that heart shaped love Ten logo !!
Wait for the disaster that A League of Their Own will be on Ten tonight.
Might get a few people for the first ep, but will tank faster than a Ben Elton show.
The problem at Ten is with its CEO, Chairman and Board. Until there is a clear out at this level and a few people put in with deep television skills Ten will not be able to reinvent itself for a prime time audience. Perhaps it is time for some prominent share holders and Board members to cut their losses and move on. They wouldn’t be the first to have done so at Ten over the past 40 years.
Weekend Sunrise beat Weekend Today??
Ten will return! Watch! Wait!
Go ahead and knock it – but the egg will be on your faces within 12 months!
HA!
Where did they find him? In the Beige Shop in Bland Town shopping for a personality?
Ten has been sliding since the X Files wound up.
