Following the elimination of Wippa on Sunday night, Celebrity Apprentice had 621,000 as the show got to the nitty-gritty of the season.
The episode opened with Lord Sugar addressing the final four contestants, “This is the hardest sell you’re ever going to make in your life,” Lord Sugar told Shaynna Blaze, Martha Kalifatidis, Ross Noble and Josh Gibson. “I want you to sell the impossible.”
The Impossible was selling enormous loads of lemons, sand, ropes and tennis balls, with each celeb tasked with one of the items, and the challenge of turning them into something more valuable.
Ultimately, Ross Noble and Shaynna Blaze were chosen to go into the Grand Finale, with 679,000 watching the boardroom decision.

On Big Brother, 568,000 watched as Big Brother opened up his shop full of temptations, but everything came with a catch.
Sid snapped up an overnight stay in the Attic, choosing SJ to join him in hopes of blowing up the game with a new plan.
The plan? Nominate two heavy hitters along with Marley, forcing Marley to play the immunity eye, thereby squeezing out one of the two housemates sitting beside him.
Sid pulled out all the stops, winning his first ever individual nominations challenge to put his plan into action, nominating Marley, Tilly and Danny.
In an emotional eviction ceremony, Danny told the housemates to send him home and save Tilly, saying “she deserves to win”.
But Danny’s pleas weren’t enough. Marley played the eye and when the final votes came in Tilly was evicted until Big Brother stopped Tilly as she exited the house, sending her to his secret Mirrored Room instead.
