It’s finale/premiere week for some of our favorite competition reality shows. Monday night, ABC won the ratings race overall between The Bachelorette premiere and Dancing with the Stars final performances. Once again, DWTS came within 1/10th of a ratings point of The Voice. The Bachelorette premiere was down a bit compared to last season.

The premiere of “The Bachelorette” on ABC was off a bit from last year’s season debut. The show delivered a 1.8 rating among adults 18-49 Monday night, down from a 2.0 for last year’s premiere. It did, however, help ABC to a victory in the demographic for the night along with “Dancing With the Stars” (1.8), which was up 0.3 week to week.
“DWTS” finished as close to “The Voice” (1.9, +0.1 vs. last week) as it ever has, but the NBC show still managed to lead the night in adults 18-49.
