Once again, The Block proved unbeatable in the entertainment slot, nailing 835,000 viewers as per OzTAM’s metro data.
There was beef amongst the contestants after the judges gave one pair a perfect score on their hallway: despite the fact that only one of their hallways was finished. There was also what can only be described as ‘Tree-gate’, when one team thought another had taken all the trees for their backyard. The drama is relentless!
Next in prime time entertainment was episode two of Celebrity MasterChef, which had 601,000 viewers and featured something called ‘slutty sandwiches’,
In third was SAS Australia with 585,000 viewers. There are five celebs left ahead of Wednesday’s final, and Monday’s ep saw them write gut-wrenching letters to their loved ones and then…set them on fire?
Two of the contestants had an argument about the merits of sweet potato chips versus regular potato hot chips (a timely debate), and all of the celebs were faced with a brutal assault course, which left one on an IV and another throwing up. Delightful dinner time viewing, as always!
