The season had very low viewership, routinely being beaten not only by rival commercial networks in the ratings, but also rating behind public broadcasters ABC and SBS. After its second week on air, the show was dropped from airing on Sundays nights, continuing only through Monday-Thursday in its third week on air.[6] With continued falling ratings, the program was pulled from prime time and moved to a daytime slot at 1:00 pm (where re-runs previously aired) from 3 April.[7][8] The live finale aired at 11am on 1 May 2017 and was watched by 92,000 viewers.[9]
Game variations
edit- Teams: Due to having two trainers this season, the teams will be split into two teams of eight
- Mind Sessions: Each week, the contestants will have "Mind Sessions" with weight management psychologist Glenn Mackintosh where they will discuss their mental and physical wellbeing, including analysing the body image baggage they are carrying around and how it can add up on the scales
- Voting: For the first time, viewers will get to vote during the Live Grand Final
- Winners: There will be two winners. One winner will be based on weight loss (like prior seasons) and will win $50,000. The other will be decided by the viewers who will choose the contestant who has transformed their life the most and that winner will win $100,000.
