Gordon Ramsay's "Hotel Hell" and "Hell's Kitchen" both posted solid
gains Monday night to give Fox an overall win, while NBC's reality
offering "Stars Earn Stripes" experienced a steep ratings drop,
according to preliminary numbers.

Fox came in first in the advertiser-cherished 18-49 demographic with a
2.6 rating/7 share and in total viewers with 6.5 million. "Hotel Hell"
at 8 p.m. posted a 15 percent increase in the demo from last week for a
2.3/7 and grew 13 percent in total viewers with 5.9 million. "Hell's
Kitchen" the following hour was also up 15 percent in the demo, posting
a 3.0/8 -- the night's best ratings performance -- and received 7
million total viewers, making it the night's most-watched program. CBS,
which aired repeats throughout the night, took second place in ratings
and total viewers with a 1.6/4 and 5.7 million. NBC came in third in
ratings and tied ABC for third in total viewers with a 1.2/3 and 4
million.

Following an "America's Got Talent" repeat, "Stars Earn Stripes" at 9
dropped 25 percent from last week in the demo, posting a 0.9/2, and
received 3 million total viewers. "Grimm" the following hour took a
modest hit in the demo from last week, drawing a 1.6/4 and receiving 4.7
million total viewers. ABC came in fourth in ratings with a 1.1/3.
"Bachelor Pad" from 8 to 10 drew even with last week for a 1.3/4 and
drew 4.4 million total viewers. A "Castle" repeat followed.
.......................................

Do you watch either of Gordon Ramsay's shows on Monday? My DD and I
really like both shows a LOT. If you are watching "Hell's Kitchen",
which two do you think will go on to the finals? I have a feeling it
will be Justin (he's my favorite) and Christina but I like Dana better
than I do her.

I've never seen "Stars Earn Stripes". "Grimm", or "Castle".
