HOME > The Bachelor > The Bachelor 3Ratings: 'Bachelor 3' series finale averages over 15 million viewers
Despite other media reports that the ratings for the season finale of ABC's "The Bachelor" were a relative disappointment, ABC reports that the show drew an average audience of 15.0 million viewers during its 2- hour telecast, with 17.5 million viewers tuning in to the final half-hour (10:30-11:00 p.m.) of the program to watch Andrew Firestone propose to Chicago resident Jennifer Schefft.
Excluding the nights of the Super Bowl and the Academy Awards, "The Bachelor" generated ABC's largest audience and highest young adult ratings (Adults 18-49 and Adults 18-34) in the time period since January 27, 2002, with the first part of "Stephen King's Rose Red." In its core demographic of Women 18-34, "The Bachelor" season finale topped CBS' season finale of "Survivor: Amazon" on the prior Sunday by 20% (9.7/24 vs. 8.1/22). "The Bachelor" season finale surged from its lead-in and gained 5 million viewers (12.5 million to 17.5 million) and 52% among Adults 18-49 from its first half-hour to its final half-hour (5.6/14 to 8.5/21). In its final half-hour (10:30 p.m.), more than one quarter of all women watching television in the key demographics were tuned to ABC's "The Bachelor": Women 18-34 (11.4/28), Women 18-49 (11.4/26) and Women 25-54.
