The legal controversy from CBS didn't help ABC's The Glass House, as the new reality series debuted to just a 1.6 rating in the 18-49 demo on Monday night, according to Nielsen overnight numbers. The Bachelorette was flat from last week with a 2.3. ABC finished in third place with an overall 2.0 rating/6 share.

Fox took the night with its Gordon Ramsay cooking-show duo, posting an overall 2.4/7. Hell's Kitchen was down 11% from last Monday for a 2.5 while MasterChef was off by 15% to a 2.3.

NBC was the only other network to air original programming, taking second with a 2.3/7. America's Got Talent was down 15% from its last airing two weeks ago for a season-low 2.8 and American Ninja Warrior was down 9% to a 2.0, its lowest rating ever (excluding specials).

CBS (1.3/4) and The CW (0.2/0) aired repeats to round out the night.
