Preliminary Ratings: Tuesday 08/26/14

ABC had a little boost on Tuesday night with a special airing of BACHELOR IN PARADISE, from 8 to 10 p.m. The ratings were a nice increase from EXTREME WEIGHT LOSS, jumping 1.2 million viewers and 30% in the demo ratings, over last week. However, the ratings are on par of what the series has been getting on Monday nights.

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT was the top show of the evening, in both viewers (9.4 million) and in the A18-49 ratings (2.1). The two hour episode help push NBC to easily win the night.

The CW gave us another iHeart Radio special, a Maroon 5 Album Release Party, but the results were no better than an encore episode of ARROW.
