Among advertiser-prized 18-to-49-year-olds, Talent and Fox’s Hotel Hell tied for first in the 7 p.m. hour with 53,987 viewers apiece before Talent’s second hour pounded all comers with 66,690 viewers in this key demographic.

Buck likewise ran third from 8 to 9 p.m. with 113,318 viewers before the 9 to 10 p.m. return of Truth moved up to second place with 141,648 viewers (behind only CBS’ canceled Person of Interest with 155,813).
In the 18-to-49-year-old realm, the first hour of Truth tied for third with NCIS while Buck ran second and the 9 to 10 p.m. hour of Truth took third.
