On Monday night, ABC aired the season finale of The Bachelor and it was up a million viewers and four tenths in the demo from last week's Women Tell All special. And as often happens, the After the Final Rose special was up from the finale, delivering a strong 3.3 demo at 10pm. NBC felt the effects of more competition on ABC as The Voice was down a big 2.4 million viewers and a full demo point. It will be interesting to see how it does next week when Dancing with the Stars returns. At 10pm, Smash was down eight tenths in viewers and three tenths in the demo. Finally, FOX aired a new Alcatraz after a House repeat. It was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo, hitting a series low and not helping its already thin chances.
