The penultimate episode of The Bachelor saw the audience swell for Ten, but it was not enough to give the channel a win for Wednesday night.
According to OzTAM overnight metro figures 909,000 viewers tuned in at 7:30pm to see Olena Khamula dumped out of the show, up from 844,000 last Wednesday.

However, both shows beat Nine’s new drama Doctor Doctor which aired from 8:40pm and managed 759,000 viewers.
