Channel 10’s The Real Love Boat is a sinking ship.

The ratings were even worse last week when the series dropped to just 141,000 viewers, according to TV blackbox.
The most watched series on Wednesday was The Block with 1.4 million eyes, while Kitchen Nightmares Australia had 903,000 metro viewers.
After starting in the coveted 7:30pm Wednesday and Thursday timeslot, the show has now moved back an hour to 8:30pm.
It has also been devastated by viewers so far, with many taking to social media to criticize the format and the contestants.

“Ten minutes later and I see an iceberg. Terrible,” someone tweeted.
‘Love boat? More like the Bogan Titanic,” another added.
A third joked, “More fake plastic people falling in love with themselves!” while another stunned critic asked himself, “Why am I watching this shit?”

The anger continued with some Twitter users chasing host Darren McMullen with killer comments.
“Please tell me that Darren McMullen won’t be speaking in that exaggerated voice throughout the show,” one wrote.
“Darren McMullen is what you get when you order Osher from Wish,” snapped another.
The Real Love Boat is based on the classic 1970s drama, The Love Boat.
It marks the return of Below Deck Mediterranean star Hannah Ferrier to reality TV as the show’s cruise director, while former Studio 10 reporter Daniel ‘Doods’ Doody is head of entertainment.
It comes as Deadline.com reported that US broadcaster CBS has taken The Real Love Boat off the air after four episodes and will end its broadcast on Paramount+.
The show launched on October 5 to 2.4 million US viewers, but fell to 2 million overnight viewers for the next three episodes.
