The Bachelor sees audience plummet for recap show as Big Brother also drops

The BachelorTen’s The Bachelor last night saw its audience fall from 774,000 last week to 640,000 for an episode at 7.30pm which featured eliminated Bachelorettes reuniting for a discussion where they recapped their experiences on the show, ahead of the upcoming finale.

The Bachelor was not the only key franchise to slip, with Nine’s Big Brother also down week on week, with 618,000 viewers, compared to 634,000 viewers, for the nomination episode at 8.40pm, according to OzTam overnight metro ratings.

Despite the fall, Nine still won the night on the back of The Block: Glasshouse which had the biggest audience of the night with 1.185m viewers and a 21.5 per cent audience share on the main channel.  

While The Block won the 7.30pm time slot, Seven’s The Force and Border Security were both up on last week with audiences of 972,000 and 876,000 at 7.30 and 8pm respectively.
