Ratings: Golden Bachelor Finale Delivers 33-Month Audience High for Franchise
In the latest TV show ratings, ABC‘s The Golden Bachelor finale drew 6.07 million total viewers and a 0.8 rating (per Nielsen finals), marking the largest audience for the franchise since a March 2021 Bachelor finale and the best demo number since a September 2022 Bachelorette finale.
Leading out of that, Bachelor in Paradise (2.2 mil/0.3) was steady in audience but dipped in the demo.
Elsewhere….
NBC | Transplant (1.4 mil/0.1) hit and tied season lows.
CBS | Ghosts UK (2.2 mil/0.2 and 2 mil/0.2) was steady in the demo but down sharply in viewers from its first Stateside double-pump.
THE CW | Son of a Critch (320K) was steady in audience, while Children Ruin Everything (190K) dropped some eyeballs.
FOX | Pending adjustment due to sports preemptions in Dallas and Seattle, Hell’s Kitchen (3.1 mil/0.5) and LEGO Masters (1.9 mil/0.4) are both currently up sharply.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. These numbers (Nielsen fast nationals, unless denoted as finals) instead aim to simply illustrate trends or superlatives. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution.
I thought the first Ghosts UK installment last night was the funniest episode yet of those aired on CBS thus far
I don’t know how much it affects the ratings, but I think ABC did a marketing promotion with senior living facilities for the Golden Bachelor.
At my mom’s place (run by Spectrum) they had a viewing party every week, with a bracket and fliers & pictures of the ladies that did not look like they came off the copier in the office.
Also, yesterday there was a golden rose centerpiece type thing at the front desk. It looked pretty pricey.
I would of watched ghosts uk last night but direct tv dropped my local cbs so will hopefully binge later as the first 4 episodes were entertaining
There’s not a Wednesday ratings article, so I’m gonna throw this here… anyone else notice/annoyed by the fact that the second half of Pyramid was a rerun from earlier this season?!?!
Oh yeah, I noticed that. I wasn’t sure at first, but did watch 15 minutes of it. Not annoyed, though as the reaction of turning it off is all there is to it. Weird to see though.
Heh, only annoying because Pyramid’s probably my favorite, so I was looking forward to a full episode of it. I guess having too much tv watch means I shouldn’t be too upset because it gave me an extra 20 minutes for watching something else hehe.
Any word on the audience for Thursday Night Football on Amazon? I expect it pulled far more viewers than even Golden Bachelor.
The CW’s Thursday programming block is downright sad.They should have kept ‘Run the Burbs’ and ‘Everyone Else Burns’.
Or at least stick them on the CW app, I’m surprised they haven’t done that yet. They did it almost right away with Bump
