On ABC, The Bachelorette was steady with last week's 2.5 adults 18-49 rating. It was the night's strongest offering across the board and led into a slightly boosted Glass House, which rose a tenth of a point from last week's 1.0 adults rating thanks to Bachelorette overrun. The network averaged a 2.0 rating in the demo and 6.5 million viewers.

Univision pulled ahead of CBS' encores with a 1.3 adults 18-49 rating, while CBS averaged a 1.2 adults rating and 4.9 million viewers.

The absence of America's Got Talent was apparent on NBC, which averaged a 1.1 rating among adults 18-49 and 3.4 million viewers. A special Fear Factor, down two tenths of a point from its last broadcast in February, was at a 1.3 adults rating. American Ninja Warrior dropped half of a point from its last original to a 1.4 with 18-49-ers. A repeat of Grimm averaged a 0.7 adults rating.

The CW averaged a 0.2 with adults 18-49 and 509,000 viewers.
