The fifth season of Ten’s romance reality television show The Bachelor premiered with 846,000 metro viewers last night.

Former The Bachelorette contestant Matty J’s return to the screens was down 36,000 on the 2016 season four opener of The Bachelor but nearly 200,000 up on last year’s first episode of The Bachelorette.

“Managing to beat Nine in the ratings battle, Ten came in second place with a 17.4% audience share topping Nine’s 18.2% share.

Seven won the night with an overall audience share of 18.2%.”

How do you win with the same number as third, which is actually higher than second?

Hi Do The Maths,

Thanks for drawing this to our attention. Nine’s share was incorrect in our original article- it was actually 16.8% according to OzTAM’s overnight preliminary metro ratings.

We have amended (all the way from the Hunter Valley).

Thanks,
