The Real Love Boat Australia drops to its lowest ratings to date as 128,000 people tune in to reality TV’s sinking ship – as the season finale of ABC’s Hard Quiz beats the competition
Channel 10 delivered another thump to Wednesday’s overnight TV ratings.
The much-hyped reality series from the embattled network, The Real Love Boat Australia, fell to its lowest rating yet.
After 10 other recent flops, including The Traitors and The Challenge, the dating show drew just 128,000 viewers in the five major cities.

Struggling panel show The Project added to Channel 10’s ratings risk on Wednesday.
The highly rated one-off current affairs talk show stayed true to its poor form this year, drawing just 260,000 viewers in the capitals at 7pm.
It’s been a pathetic year of duds for Channel 10, including 10 News First: Breakfast, which recently set a new record for the worst viewing program in Australian TV history.
One-off crowd pleasers The Project, MasterChef and The Amazing Race Australia have also underperformed for the network.
The ABC’s Head Quiz hosted by Tom Gleeson drew 478,000 fans in subway ratings on Wednesday
Even the Melbourne Cup broadcast was a bombshell for the network.
Just over a million subway viewers tuned in to watch Gold Trip triumph at Flemington Racecourse – a record low for TV coverage of the race that brought the nation to a standstill.
Meanwhile, on Channel Seven, 525,000 fans in metro centers tuned in to watch Home and Away as it races towards the season’s cliffhanger.
That is the first time in a very long time that the beloved soap has attracted more than 500,000 viewers, reports TV black box.

The lure of multimillion-dollar luxury beachfront real estate drew just 221,000 viewers in metro centers.
Hard Quiz, on the ABC, drew a strong audience.
