Ratings Review: THE BACHELORETTE (Summer 2013)

For most of the 2013 season, THE BACHELORETTE was having an average, nothing special season.   A solid core of 6 to 7 million viewers were watching each week. But, as the season came to a close, it ended with a bang.

From the season premiere to the season finale, an additional 3 million viewers came aboard the long running franchise. Season highs were hit for each of the last two episodes, with the finale pushing it to a tie for the #1 spot in the weekly A18-49 ratings.

For the season, THE BACHELORETTE averaged a 2.0 rating in Adults 18-49 and 6.75 million viewers. Needless to say, THE BACHELORETTE will be back again next summer.
