CBS’ repeat-filled lineup gave NBC a chance to pick up some ground yesterday. Unfortunately, the Peacock squandered its opportunity and sunk even further last night. FOX, in the meantime, seized the evening and placed first in both the viewers and the demos.

8pm

• House (14.6 million, 5.4/14 in 18-49) picked up 600,000.
• The Bachelor special (11 million, 3.7/9) was off 1.5 million from the last regular episode.
• The Big Bang Theory* (8.4 million, 2.7/7)* lost 400,000; How I Met Your Mother* (7.6 million, 2.8/7) grew by 300,000.
• Chuck (6.5 million, 2.2/6) had its smallest audience yet.
• Gossip Girl* (1.1 million, 0.4/1) did about the same.
