Spotted Ratings, Monday 7/29/13

WHAT MATTERS:

• A generally disappointing season of The Bachelorette took a rare turn for the positive in its penultimate episode, surging 26%. After falling around -20% year-to-year for pretty much the whole season, this ep was actually a couple ticks ahead of last year's penultimate ep. Now we'll see if it can make a run at last year's big 3.1 finale next week.

• NBC's all-original Monday had new lows across the board.

WHAT MATTERS:

• Week four of Under the Dome was the CBS hit's first steady episode-to-episode result.

• NBC saw a two-tick drop in week two from Get Out Alive, and it brought increasingly awful-rated Siberia down another notch with it. ABC's Mistresses also hit a series low.

• ESPN was the top network for the whole night with baseball's Home Run Derby (2.6), which finished just a tick shy of Dome for top program overall. The Derby was down a tick from last year.

The Question, Monday 7/1/13: Will Under the Dome Exile Siberia?

On most summer evenings, a scripted series premiere would be the most interesting thing happening on broadcast. And tonight, NBC's got one, the co-production Siberia, a scripted drama about a fictional reality series gone wrong. But that number will be much less intriguing than week two of CBS' Under the Dome, whose breakthrough 3.3 premiere a week ago could be a real game-changer for the networks' long-half-assed efforts at year-round programming. Under the Dome is an unfortunate piece of competition for Siberia, but Siberia may at least have a reasonable lead-in in the premiere of American Ninja Warrior. Getting above a 1.0 will be tough, but a really strong Dome hold may force it to pull that off.

Siberia Over/Under: one third of tonight's Under the Dome rating. (Result will be based on finals rounded to one decimal point.)
