Preliminary Ratings: Thursday 02/22/2018

The Winter Olympics rose from Wednesday night's low by 800,000 in total viewership and a tenth of a point in the A18-49 demographic. There are just three more nights of coverage, with the Closing Ceremonies airing on Sunday night.

ABC's THE BACHELOR WINTER GAMES closed out its first season, with less than stellar results. Just three million viewers tuned into the three hour event episode. That is not much better than encores of most of the network's sitcoms.

CBS was second on the night with two encore episodes of BIG BANG, while FOX continues to dwell in the trenches, in fourth place.
