Gordon Ramsay's "Hell's Kitchen" and "MasterChef" gave Fox a ratings win Monday night, while ABC's new reality series "The Glass House" continued last week's trend of marginal improvement, according to preliminary numbers.
Though "Hell's Kitchen" remained flat with last week and "MasterChef" showed only slight growth, the two put Fox at the top of the ratings. Fox averaged a 2.4 rating/7 share in the advertiser-cherished 18-49 demographic, and took second place in total viewers, with 5.8 million.

"The Bachelorette" at 8 was the night's highest-rated and most-watched program, drawing even with last week for a 2.5/7 and taking 8 million total viewers. "Glass House" at 10 posted a 10 percent gain in the demo from last week — though slight overrun from "The Bachelorette" could affect the final numbers. it had a 1.1/3 and attracted 3.3 million total viewers.
CBS, which ran repeats throughout the evening, drew third place in ratings and total viewers with a 1.2/4 and 4.9 million.
Univision took fourth in ratings and total viewers with an average 1.3/4 and 3.6 million.
