With new episodes across the board during Monday night’s prime time slate, CBS won the night in terms of total viewership and Adults 18-49 ratings. Fox’s House returned to 6 percent less eyes than its last new episode on February 8, but handily won the 8 p.m. hour against new CBS sitcoms and a gooey Bachelor wedding special on ABC. The CW’s Life Unexpected at 8 p.m. outperformed the mid-season return of Gossip Girl at 9 p.m.

So The Bachelor Wedding was 3rd place yet that’s the lead story on the EW homepage right now. Hello, paid editorial.
it’s cause a bachelor wedding almost never happens, so even if it was in last place it would still be a top story over, just one out of however many episodes the the CBS shows are on(which I LOVE)…
The CW picked up gossip girl with these ratings but won’t pick up One Tree Hill?!? Anyway Chuck and BBT were awesome last night
