All eyes were on the second part of The Bachelor finale Tuesday as Peter made a mess of things choosing between Hannah Ann and Madison. ABC’s reality dating competition left all other shows in the dust in primetime, conquering ratings with a 2.4 in the adults 18-49 demographic and 8.48 million viewers.

The Live+Same Day result marked a three-tenths boost from Monday’s Part 1 of the show’s Season 24 finale and was steady with last year’s big finish. Last night, the two-hour episode served as a good lead-in for freshman For Life (0.8, 3.15M), which saw its best numbers and ticked up two tenths in the demo.
