Last year, Nine’s The Last Resort, which was later moved to a later time slot, premiered with more viewers (414,000) than last night’s episode of The Single Wives.
Competing against The Single Wives in the 7.30pm time slot was Ten’s Masterchef which saw 863,000 metro viewers tune in and Nine’s repeat episode of Britains Got Talent, which managed 416,000 metro viewers.
Meanwhile, ABC’s 7.30 averaged 606,000 metro viewers.
In the news battle for the evening, Seven News won the night with 1.007m metro viewers beating Nine News’ metro audience of 972,000.
Nine won Wednesday night TV with an overall audience share of 16.3% topping Seven’s 15.5% share, Ten’s 15%, ABC’s 13.9% and SBS’ 7.7% share.
For the multichannels, 9GO! had the highest audience share with 3.9% just beating 7mate’s 3.5%.
Is anyone really surprised that the 37th dating show to be released in the last 3 years isn’t a raging success?

My partner and I caught a little of it last night at around 8pm. Aside from finding the talent, hosts and format being largely annoying and unoriginal, I found the F bomb delivered straight down the barrel pretty crass at that hour; unnecessary and almost desperate.
I’m a pretty liberal minded, live and let the f-bomb live kind of guy, I understand the target audience etc, and I’m not that old – but I voted tout suite with the switch and noped right out of there.
Hope they all live happily ever after and find true love etc and I never hear or see anything much more about it.
