ABC might have only aired a reunion special of The Bachelor last week instead of an original episode of Bob Guiney's reality dating saga, but viewers didn't seem to mind, as the network's The Bachelor: The Women Tell All special drew only 1.1 million fewer viewers than the previous week's penultimate episode and still won its timeslot in the Adults 18-49 demographic.
