On Monday night, The Bachelorette got ABC's summer season off to a good start. With a 2.0 demo, it topped the night and beat both performance finales of Dancing with the Stars and The Voice. Like The Bachelor, The Bachelorette is a beast in the demo. Speaking of Dancing, it was up seven tenths in viewers and two tenths in the demo for its best performance since April 11. Meanwhile, The Voice on NBC was up eight tenths in viewers but down a tenth in the demo for a Monday low. Not an encouraging sign for a performance finale. This show needs a boost, maybe Miley Cyrus will provide that. At 10pm, Blindspot was up six tenths in viewers and even in the demo. On CBS, a Price is Right special did OK at 8pm but it seemingly took down The Odd Couple, which crashed to series lows with its final two episodes of the season. At 10pm, Person of Interest was up two tenths in viewers and even in the demo. Finally on FOX, Gotham was down two tenths in viewers and a tenth in the demo for its season finale while Houdini & Doyle was up two tenths in viewers and down a tenth in the demo.
