Spotted Ratings, Monday 7/30/12

WHAT MATTERS:

• The Summer Olympics in primetime are now exactly on the 2008 pace as the Olympics-to-Olympics trend worsened for the third straight day. Tonight brings day five, which last time around was the highest-rated evening of the Olympics when Michael Phelps broke the all-time gold medal record. Tonight, (SPOILERS!) he breaks the all-time any-medal record, so big things could be ahead.

• This was perhaps the worst day yet for those originals that went up against the Olympics. Among the casualties were ABC's Bachelor Pad and The Glass House, both down in the 25% vicinity, CBS' repeats (down 20%ish), and male-leaning lineups on USA and Syfy.
