It was a big night of reality television, though big doesn’t equal strong when it comes to ratings for The Weakest Link and Celebrity Apprentice.
Nine is a glutton for self-administered punishment with The Weakest Link continuing to prove the accuracy of its title — 392,000 national viewers last night. Nine’s Celebrity Apprentice averaged 799,000 across the program. Weak. Lord Sugar looks and sounds very bored.
This all helped Nine lose total people to Seven, but Seven helped itself lose the main channels to Nine — narrowly — with the Good Doctor (474,000) after Big Brother’s 835,000. The final episode of Love On The Spectrum with 680,000 from 8.30 to 10.30pm ruined it for the commercial networks, as did a surprising episode of Who Do You Think You Are? on SBS.
In breakfast: Sunrise, 443,000 nationally and 257,000 metro; Today, 313,000 and 219,000; News Breakfast, 269,000 and 170,000.
