On Monday night, there were several repeats but ABC was strong with the season finale of The Bachelor which was up a big 1.9 million viewers and seven tenths in the demo from last week's special. It also delivered the show's best numbers since the spring 2011 finale. This long running reality show had quite the revitalized season this winter. The 10pm After the Final Rose special outperformed the finale, as usual. Elsewhere, only Rules of Engagement was new again for CBS and it was up two tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo. On NBC, The Biggest Loser was down four tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo while Deception was down a tenth in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on FOX, The Following had to follow a Bones repeat for the first time but it held up well as it was down six tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo.
