On yet another rerun-heavy night, ABC’s Shark Tank repeat was the overall winner. Although it tied in the demo rankings with Fox’s WWE Friday Night SmackDown and a repeat of ABC’s 20/20 newsmag, Shark Tank had the largest P2+ at 3238 to take the crown.

The Shark Tank repeat had a rare event – an entrepreneur who turned down bids from several sharks. David Scharfman didn’t like the investment offers for his Just The Cheese company from Mark Cuban, Kevin O’Leary and Lori Greiner. The company produces bars that mimic the crunchy cheese from a grilled cheese sandwich. He was seeking $500,000 and offered 5% equity in return.
