ABC was all new on Monday night with the season finale of The Bachelorette which was up eight tenths in viewers and even in the demo but down a lot from last year's finale. Is the long running franchise of The Bachelor/The Bachelorette finally starting to fade? A post-show special actually did better than the finale. Elsewhere, FOX's Hell's Kitchen was down half a million viewers and two tenths in the demo from last week and MasterChef was slightly behind Kitchen.
