ABC’s “The Bachelor” just earned a more desirable audience than CBS’ “Celebrity Big Brother” — but NBC’s primetime Olympics coverage easily (and yes, predictably) bested the bunch in Monday ratings.

Airing PyeongChang competition, NBC was first in ratings with a 5.2 rating/19 share in the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers with an average of 20.5 million, according to preliminary numbers.

ABC was second in ratings with a 1.3/5 and in viewers with 5.5 million. A two-hour “The Bachelor” at 8 p.m. put up a 1.5/5 and 5.9 million viewers. A rerun followed.

CBS was third in ratings with a 0.8/3
