On Nine, A Current Affair was hosted by Leila McKinnon and featured a massive dog fight between pooch owners in a Kirribilli park. Reporter Steve Marshall usually doesn’t shy away from a confrontation, but this time he was trying to act as the peacekeeper. The episode did 768,000 after an average of 688,000 last week.
Celebrity Apprentice had 545,000 watch the regular episode before 611,000 tuned in for the final boardroom decision.
The episode put Sydney on the map as each team was tasked with offering a Big Bus tour and bespoke Sydney experience with the winner receiving $20,000 for their project managers charity.
Team Fun-Raisers received a satisfaction rating of 87.8 per cent from their guests, while Team Momentum received 94.5 per cent, earning them immunity as well as $20,000 for David Genat’s charity The Garvan Institute.
In the boardroom project manager Camilla Franks was joined by Rob Shehadie and a shocked Ross Noble on the shortlist to be fired but Noble didn’t hold back.
“You’re in your little bubble … You’ve got a one-track mind and you don’t listen to anyone else. You live in Camilla world and everything is about you, your personality, your world,” Noble told Franks. “You are completely self-obsessed.”
Shehadie was the celeb sent home as Franks and Noble live to fight another day.
The season premiere of Emergency had 302,000 tune in to see the inner workings of the Royal Melbourne Hospital’s Emergency department.
In the season premiere, Royal Melbourne Emergency’s Dr Emma called in reinforcements to save a mother whose life hangs in the balance after a high-speed car crash on a country road.

Seven
Home and Away had 625,000 viewers last night before Big Brother followed with 591,000.
On Big Brother, Ari tried to put a target on Brenton’s back, spreading rumours the chef was a peanut butter thief, but only drew attention to his own sneaky ways.
In the challenge, Mitch and Marley teamed up to create the perfect balance, winning the nomination power and nominated rumour-monger Ari, Christina and safe vote Adriana.
But host Sonia Kruger had a surprise announcement at the eviction ceremony. Instead of voting to evict, the housemates would be voting to make someone the walking dead of Big Brother’s house.
Across the week, this “halfway housemate” will have one foot out the door, losing all privileges and the ability to compete in challenges or vote. Two other housemates will join the walking dead and one will be evicted by the end of the week.
Christina received the most votes and made her way to the panic room, her quarters for the week, where she will wait for the next walking dead housemate.
This was then followed by 9-1-1 with 291,000 and then S.W.A.T with 164,000.
