Nine’s The Block maintained its momentum on the second night of its new series, with an audience of 1.281m only just down on Sunday night’s 1.312m debut.

The show was third for the night on Monday, according to preliminary overnight metro ratings from OzTAM. It rose to second in the key advertising demographics of 16-39, 18-49 and 25-54.

Nine’s talent contest The Voice topped the ratings with an audience of 1.579m. However, this was somewhat down on last Monday’s 1.962m.

Seven had fewer shows in the national top 20 because of splitting its schedule in Melbourne to accommodate St Kilda vs Carlton in the AFL. The game rated 371,000 in Melbourne, the fifth most watched program of the night in the city. In the other four capital cities the AFL ran on 7Mate where rated 174,000.

What is going on at celebrity apprentice ? It diesnt make sense. Fenech walks off for no reason . Bouris sits there watching the whole thing . Doesn’t exert any authority whatsoever . Then John leaves the room supposedly to talk to French they argue and no one knows what John is saying . Suddenly both come back and no one knows what happened. Weirdest thing ever
