Spotted Ratings, Monday 8/3/15

WHAT MATTERS:

• FINALS UPDATE: A common theme in recent weeks: American Ninja Warrior (1.9) adjusted up and Running Wild (1.3) adjusted down. The 2 Broke Girls repeat was also down to 0.9.

• Back on the usual Bachelor night, Bachelor in Paradise (1.3) perked up by two tenths. Despite being only a one-hour episode, this was just a tenth behind last year's Monday premiere. But the network didn't get that much out of a one-hour aftershow After Paradise at 9/8c (0.8), and that helped usher The Whispers (0.7) to another new low at 10/9c.

• The CW unveiled its latest summer sitcom experiment Significant Mother (0.3) at 9:30. At a tick behind lead-in Whose Line Is It Anyway? (0.4), this wasn't much of a splash, but it was still better than previous debacles like last year's Backpackers/Seed as well as this year's Dates on Thursday.

• NBC's American Ninja Warrior (1.8) was on the low end, but Running Wild (1.4) hit a season high at 10/9c. Fox's So You Think You Can Dance (0.9) inched up from the low set against last week's Bachelorette finale, and CBS' repeats fared pretty well as The Odd Couple (0.9) joined 2 Broke Girls (1.0) in the 8:00 hour.
