The Biggest Loser Australia: Transformed, the eleventh and final season of the Australian version of the original NBC reality television series The Biggest Loser, premiered on 14 March 2017.[1][2][3][4] The live series finale was held on Monday 1 May 2017 at 11 am during the airing of Studio 10.[5]

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]
