Chris Harrison and Corinne Olympios on "Bachelor in Paradise"
Chris Harrison’s sit-down interview with former “Bachelor in Paradise” contestant Corinne Olympios boosted the ABC reality dating competition’s TV ratings on Tuesday — just not enough to come close to NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.”
Still, “Bachelor in Paradise” jumped 9 percent week over week in the key demo and 13 percent among total viewers, hitting Tuesday season highs for the show.
Either way, NBC was first in ratings with a 2.2 rating/9 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 10.5 million, according to preliminary numbers. “America’s Got Talent” at 8 p.m. scored a 2.7/11 and 13.2 million viewers. “Hollywood Game Night” at 10 had a 1.2/5 and 5 million viewers.
ABC was second in ratings with a 1.0/4 and third in viewers with 3.5 million. “Bachelor in Paradise” at 8 earned a 1.2/5 and 4.3 million viewers. At 10, “Somewhere Between” got a 0.4/2 and 1.8 million viewers.
Telemundo was third in ratings with a 0.7/3 and fourth in viewers with 1.7 million.
