Monday was a night of beginnings and endings. With hot tubs and cold intrigue for a $250,000 prize, ABC had the two-hour Season 3 premiere of Bachelor Pad (1.4/4) at 8 PM. That was down 36% from the 2011 Season 2 premiere on August 8 and a series low. ABC followed at 10 PM with a new episode of the legally challenged The Glass House (0.8/2). The sixth week of the reality show tied again for a season low. NBC aired the two-hour Season 4 finale of American Ninja Warrior (2.0/5), up 11% from last week. On Fox, it was Gordon Ramsay’s night again with Hell’s Kitchen (2.6/8) and MasterChef (2.7/7). Kitchen was down to the final eight contestants and even with last week. On MasterChef, it was Part 1 of the top six cooking contestants competing, with the show rising 4% from last week. Fox won the night among adults 18-49 and total viewers. At 8 PM, NBC had a repeat of Fear Factor (1.3/4). CBS had a night of repeats with How I Met Your Mother (1.1/3), 2 Broke Girls (1.3/4), Two And A Half Men (1.6/4), Mike & Molly (1.4/4) and Hawaii Five-O (1.1/3).

Bach Pad, like all the other similar-type shows, is nothing more than social experimenting gone awry. It’s format really brings out the worst in human nature. And Chris Harrison seems oblivious to it all, which is hilarious & sad at the same time. With all the bad in the world I’m not surprised that people grow weary of seeing decent people act really awful. Having said that it’s a hoot to watch.
Hilarious to see that Glass House is failing miserably. Go CBS.
Glad these rotten ABC reality shows are tanking in the ratings. Could it be the American public has finally woken up and realized how stupid and bad these shows truly are? ABC should just cancel both shows with no chance of them ever returning again. DRIVEL!!!
