The Biggest Loser drops to lowest ratings as MKR cook-off wins more than 1.6m

The nail-biting cook-off on My Kitchen Rules and elimination of contestants Harry Curtis and Christo Gibson rated 1.664m last night giving Channel Seven the most popular show of the night, followed closely by The Block with more than 1.3m.

However, Channel Ten saw its ratings drop for The Biggest Loser to its lowest yet this series, with just 307,000 watching in the same 7.30pm timeslot, preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTam show.

The Biggest Loser was 32nd in all programs and 26th in people 25-54. Ten launched a print ad campaign for the show yesterday, in an effort to boost poor ratings.

Meanwhile MKR was also the top show in people 25-54, and The Block, which had 1.302m total viewers was second in that category. Winners and Losers followed MKR on Seven at 8.45pm with 968,000, up by more than 100,000 viewers on last week and the Seven drama was also the most watched show in catch-up viewing with 156,000 more viewers, bringing its total audience for last Tuesday’s first episode to over 1m throughout the week, with 172,000 time shifting the second show straight after, which last night retained 860,000 viewers.
