Monday goes to Seven as The Apprentice drops
Wins by Seven in five timeslots took the channel to a victory last night while Nine’s The Apprentice audience declined by 76,000 on last week.
Seven News at 6pm took top honours with 1.5 million viewers, according to preliminary OzTam results.
The 6:30pm slot was also won by Seven with Today Tonight pulling in 1.3 million. Last night’s episode featured an interview with disgraced AFL star Wayne Carey ahead of the launch of his biography.
Over at Nine, Two And A Half Men continued to demonstrate its popularity with the 7pm and 7:30 shows both winning their timeslot. The new episode at 7:30 was the second most watched show of the night with 1.4 million viewers. Ten’s new Jamie Oliver series, Jamie’s American Road Trip, in the same timeslot, pulled in just 704,000 for its premiere episode.
Loved the Apprentice last night – It’s a fantastic show
well i watched all the other episodes but forgot about yesterday’s episode.. maybe that comes down to marketing?
I don’t know about anybody else but I found the Apprentice to be very scripted last night. I know they have to make some drama but it really didn’t feel like they were in a real life situation at all. Oh and that vacuous Miss Australia woman just has to go. Her answer, when asked why she should stay in the competition, made me bring up a little bit of vomit into my mouth!
shame about the drop in figures for the apprentice last night – I thought it was a great show even though I had to force myself to turn the tele on – it’s just too late for me ;p
I concur with DD, what “Miss Australia” knows about running a business isn’t worth knowing. And to think she could ever learn from and then try to replicate those learnings into running a successful business whilst all the while maintaining her patronizing manner/tone is unrealistic. I doubt may people would follow that un-charismatic ‘manager’.
miss australia 2006 is lazy, patronising, afraid of hard work, terrible problem solver and worst of all can’t read people and their demeanour
she’s a great fit for advertising/media!!
As tweeted yesterday:
Sabrina’s not #theapprentice, but a Wedding Show host! Still quoting herself as “Miss World Australia” though :/ http://bit.ly/A87uH
Can’t wait till she’s fired.
Agree with all of the comments above. This show is just starting to hot up.
As it’s the only thing I watch on Ch9 I’ve no idea if they are pushing it heavily – but they should be.
@DD – totally agree. Very scripted and contrived. I would have kicked that annoying couple out of the f&%king hotel! Asking room service for a kebab @ 2am. I guess they were playing the part of the ‘bogan a$$holes’.
Interesting to see Phil Harte getting some more face time on 9 after his stint last month on ACA in search of good customer service and offering a $1,000 tip. Kudos.
