Ratings: ‘Bachelorette’ Hits Premiere Low; NBC Takes Night With ‘The Voice’

For ABC's "The Bachelorette," the rose didn't smell as sweet with a 27 percent drop from last year's premiere

On a Memorial Day loaded with repeats, ABC's "The Bachelorette" began its new season with a series low for premieres. "The Voice" faltered slightly compared to last week but still took the night's best ratings, pushing NBC to an overall win for the night, according to preliminary numbers.

NBC took first place in the advertiser-sought 18-49 demographic with a 2.7/7 share and in total viewers with 9.4 million. "The Voice' at 8 p.m. drew a 3.1/9 — an 11 percent drop from last Monday, and a series low for performance shows — and drew 10.9 million total viewers, making it the night's most-watched as well as best-rated program.
