Nine was the top primary channel (20.9%) and network (28.4%) on Sunday night thanks to Celebrity Apprentice which was both the top non-news show as well as #1 in all key demos.
Celebrity Apprentice had 668,000 as the show picked up from the cliffhanger of the last episode, with another elimination promised.
Pop duo The Veronicas were sent packing after Lord Sugar decided their project management skills of the challenge had let their team down. On a brighter note for the pair the project manager for their rival team, Shaynna Blaze, decided to donate the money she had won for her charity in the challenge to The Veronicas’ chosen charity the Brain Foundation.
The Veronicas had been vocal critics of the show’s editing throughout the season, with their elimination, the ongoing drama could be over.
However, this was only the beginning of the episode with the celebs having to partake in a challenge to create a viral clip that calls for a dog-themed internet “movement”.
Team Fun-Raisers won the challenge and $20,000 for Martha Kalifatidis‘s charity along with a special power for later on in the show.
The celeb to go home from Team Momentum was model/Survivor legend David Genat who was accused of trying to gameplay too much which Lord Sugar described as ‘snaky’ behaviour. The final boardroom decision had 776,000 viewers.
60 Minutes had 588,000 viewers as Nick McKenzie investigated the Facebook Gangster, Karl Stefanovic interviewed British TV host Piers Morgan, and Tom Steinfort looked at the return of Crowded House.

Niland showed the contestants how to use one whole fish across three courses, and the contestants were challenged to use one Murray Cod to create three dishes across a three rounds.
