Spotted Ratings, Monday 8/10/15

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: American Ninja Warrior (2.1) and 2 Broke Girls (1.0) adjusted up, while Running Wild (1.4) held onto its new season high. After Paradise (0.7) and Significant Mother (0.2) adjusted down.

• ABC's Bachelor in Paradise (1.5) had its strongest point yet, surging to tie last season's high point. It remains a much stronger option on Monday (even with one-hour editions) than on Sunday. However, After Paradise stayed at 0.8 in week two and The Whispers (0.6) fell to its second straight new low.

• NBC's American Ninja Warrior (2.0) and Running Wild (1.4) also grew from last week, though Wild as always has to hope to hold onto it after finals. Fox's So You Think You Can Dance and all the CBS repeats hit exactly 0.9, which meant full 8:30 retention again for The Odd Couple (0.9) and above-average showings from Scorpion (0.9) and NCIS: Los Angeles (0.9). 

• And the CW joined in the fun as Penn and Teller: Fool Us (0.6) and Whose Line Is It Anyway? (0.5) each preliminarily tied their season highs. Significant Mother matched last week's 0.3 premiere.
