Series’ background and format

The Bachelorette Australia is a part of the international Bachelor franchise that’s been broadcast on Ten Network since 2015. The reality competition show is currently in its second series, which premiered on September 21, 2016. It is produced by Warner Bros. International Television Production and presented by Osher Gūnsberg.

The Australian format is the same as in the other Bachelorette programs and revolves around one eligible bachelorette looking for love and attempting to seek out a perfect candidate among the pool of men presented to her in the first episode. The progressive elimination format creates tension and drama, as in the first stages the bachelorette goes out on group dates, then, as the majority of candidates is eliminated, one-on-one dates come into play. Subsequently overnight dates and visits to men’s home towns occur, and, ultimately, a trip to an exotic location with the final three takes place.

Declining ratings and renewal prospects

The current season of The Bachelorette features Georgia Love, a 28-year-old journalist and 18 suitors pursuing her over the course of 12 episodes. The first series did very well ratings-wise, premiering to 0.875 million viewers, never going under 0,85 throughout the series, and going out with an amazing 1.5 million for the finale. The current second series debuted to a significantly lower 0.655 million viewers, with viewership presently hovering about the 0.6 million mark. The program is currently pitted against Home and Away, The Block and The X Factor, which is quite a struggle. In 2016 The Bachelorette Australia earned a Logie Award nomination for Best Reality Program, but we have yet to see whether series 2 garners the same type of attention and earns a commission for the third series.
