The Bachelor Australia Leads Overnight Ratings for Network 10
Meet Matt Agnew, a 32-year-old Astrophysicist from Melbourne, who’s the new Australian Bachelor for season 7. After last season’s controversial ending, hopes are high this new season with this “hot geek” and 28 of the women vying for his attention and ultimately, his heart.
Not only is this season shaping up to be a good one for Matt, but it also looks good for Network Ten with the ratings hitting 709,000 viewership in a 5-city aggregate figure. This number may be lower than this season’s earlier ratings — which reached up to more than 800,000 — but it’s still a solid viewership, which allowed the show to gain a higher ranking than another Network 10 favourite, Gogglebox Australia, which is now on its tenth season.
That said, things are only beginning in The Bachelor Australia and when things get even more heated up, we’re bound to see these ratings skyrocket even more. Make sure not to miss who eventually wins Matt’s heart (spoiler alert: yes, there’s someone!) with continuing new episodes of The Bachelor on Network Ten.
