Ten’s reality weight loss program The Biggest Loser drew a metropolitan audience of 726,000, on what was a relatively quiet Monday night’s television viewing and ahead of tonight’s series finale.

The ABC’s new Back Roads program at 8pm, hosted by Heather Ewart and which travels to regional communities, was the most watched non-news program of the night with 872,000 viewers, followed by 788,000 for Home and Away on Seven which had 788,000 for one hour of the soapie.

The Biggest Loser won all the demographics and helped Ten to a 12.7 per cent main channel share overall.

Nine’s 6.30pm bulletin was the most watched show of the night with 1.57m viewers compared with 1.015m for Seven. In the 6pm slot it was a closer race last night with Seven winning with 1.044m to 1.18m.
