November 17, 2015 10:34

The makeover specials for Ten’s The Biggest Loser Families saw audiences for the reality show swell significantly last night, up 169,000 viewers on last week.

TBL grabbed 732,000 metro viewers according to OzTam overnight metro ratings, and also came second across all demographics beaten only by The Block which was on at the later time of 8.40pm in the Eastern states due to the cricket.

The third session of the fourth day of the second test between Australian and New Zealand in Perth was the most-watched non news show of night, with daylight savings meaning the 4pm start for the session was a 7pm primetime slot in the populous Eastern states, with 969,000 tuning in.

It pulled a larger overall audience than Seven’s 7.30pm offering X Factor and more viewers in Melbourne, although the singing show bested the sport in Sydney with a total audience of 958,000.
