The Celebrity Apprentice returns with under 1m
The Celebrity Apprentice made a disappointing return for Nine last night, rating with under one million.
Last year, the show’s launch episode took 1.05m.
Split across two episodes running from 8-9.30pm, the shows were the ninth and tenth most-watched. The boardroom episode took 0.908m, while the challenge episode took 0.859m.
The show was beaten by Australia’s Got Talent on Seven, which ran for an hour from 7.30pm, and won the night with 1.4m, according to preliminary reports from OzTam for the five metro markets.
If I had to hazard a guess I would say the poor ratings were a result of the first season being total shite.
This will grow. The talent is better than last time, which if you watched it was fairly addictive. Thank god for IQ – too many ad Ch 9.
But we seem to be fixated with these type of shows where a quality drama comedy can`t seem to do well.Why is it so that talent Shows or so called DIY Shows rate the house down .What does it say for society today..

I would rather watch my “drama” downloaded and avoid the swapping, changing and stopping to air 3 weeks of repeats and starting up agaion syndrome the networks seem to have. I can dip in and out of reality because you don’t need continuity to figure out what’s going on, it’s all so shallow it’s obvious! Want to change then get some broadcasting consistancy!
