The show, which featured Clayton Echard in his search for love, and a whole lot of drama, had a total viewer count of 4.5 million.
While “The Bachelor” was the runaway show of the night, CBS also had a strong evening, pulling in a 0.64 in the demo for “The Neighborhood,” and 5.8 million viewers, followed by “Bob Hearts Abishola,” which garnered a 0.6 and 5.7 million.
In its second hour of primetime programming, CBS went up in viewers, to 7.5 million, but dipped slightly to 0.56 in the demo as it aired a new episode of the long-running series “NCIS.” A couple million viewers checked out at 10 p.m. though, with “NCIS: Hawaii” earning a 0.46 in the demo and 5 million in total viewers.
