Ratings: Broadcast Finals for May 29, 2013

FOX and MASTERCHEF easily take the night in the A18-49 ratings as the two episodes average a 2.3 rating. The two two episodes are also the only programs to pull in a 2.0 rating or better. FOX may have struggles this past regular season, but may be the network to beat this summer.

Premiering on the night was ABC's THE LOOKOUT. It was able to stay even in viewership with its sitcom lead in, but dropped 21% in the demo ratings.

Doing equally bad was CBS' THE AMERICAN BAKING COMPETITION. The Jeff Fox worthy hosted show drew a million more viewers than THE LOOKOUT, but was a notch below in the demo ratings, with a 1.0. It has been over a decade since CBS has been able to find another reality series to click with viewers and it looks be at least another year before they will.

NBC presented the music special HEALING IN THE HEARTLAND, which did well on the night. It was the nights most watched program and was the third most popular in Adults 18-49.
