Try as it might, even Nine’s Celeb Apprentice finale can’t break the Tuesday night pair in lock-step.
A Current Affair (678,000) starts the night strong for Nine, setting a solid base for the finale of Celebrity Apprentice Australia (527,000 avg (459,000 finale; 594,000 winner)) to do its best. Matt Wright’s Wild Territory (231,000) picks up a little, and then the later night is filled with Law & Order: Organized Crime (49,000) and Game of Silence (34,000).
Nine first in both primary (19.3%) and network (26.8%) rankings.
Home & Away (429,000) down slightly on last week for Seven as is Big Brother Australia (313,000). The Good Doctor (191,000) and The Rookie (153,000)
Autopsy USA (56,000) offer some US drama to the late evening.
Seven second in both primary (16.7%) and network (25.8%) rankings.
The Project (276,000 6:30pm; 392,000 7pm) also slips, though it’s Tuesday which means 10 is all about MasterChef Australia (583,000) and The Cheap Seats (429,000) which both deliver big audiences. This is opposed to the double repeat of NCIS (134,000; 107,000) which really doesn’t.
10 third in both primary (14.7%) and network (21.3%) rankings.
7:30 (450,000) starts the night as the ABC’s strongest as it farewells Space 22 (206,000). Southern Ocean Live (236,000) was spectacular and completely under-appreciated. The finale of Our Brain (131,000) draws few, and so does a repeat of Four Corners (37,000).
ABC fourth in both primary (11.1%) and network (15.2%) rankings.
Season eleven premiere of Who Do You Think You Are? Australia (370,000) offers a good start to SBS, then into their public affairs run of Insight (197,000), Dateline (122,000), and the penultimate episode of The Feed (79,000).
SBS fifth in both primary (7.4%) and network (11%) rankings.
