  'America's Got Talent' Finale Ratings Hit 6-Year High, 'MasterChef' Down From 2016, 'Big Brother' Up

With the flood of premieres for the new season just days away, Wednesday saw a trio of big finales as America's Got Talent (2.9/11), Big Brother (2.1/8) and MasterChef (1.1/4) all wrapped up their summer runs.

 

All of which means in a highly competitive Season 12 and Tyra Bank's debut energetic stint as AGT host, 12-year old Darci Lynne Farmer was the first ventriloquist and third child to win the Simon Cowell co-judged and produced series since Paul Zerdin took the prize back in Season 10. There was a million dollar prize and chance at a Vegas show for Farmer, just like Season 2 winner and fellow ventriloquist Terry Fator scored.

The big win for AGT itself was last night's finale rising 4% among adults 18-49 and 7% in total viewers to 15.6 million from the Season 11 ender. Which means, with the comparisons to that 12-year old Grace Vanderwaal winning season that concluded on September 14, 2016 and more, a fast affiliate season high hitting AGT scored a six-year finale high in the key demo and a seven-year audience high.

The top show of the night overall, last night's AGT was also up 38% from its September 13 show. With AGT followed by the Season 2 debut of The Good Place (1.4/5), which was down 39% from its Season 1 opener that had a  post-Voice premiere slot, the Comcast-owned net easily won Wednesday with a 2.4/9 rating and 12.17 million viewers. Being that Tuesday's AGT adjusted up a tenth to a 3.0/12, there is a good chance last night's show will see demo changes to that could see it as the Season 12 high overall later in the day.

Over on CBS, the Season 19 finale of Big Brother saw Josh Martinez take home the $500,000 win over Season 18 runner-up Paul Abrahamian by one tight vote. Up 17% from last week's show, last night also saw the Julie Chen hosted show rise a tenth in the demo from its Season 18 ender of September 21 last year. Pushed back an hour to 10 PM, the Season 1 finale of Salvation (0.6/3) was also up a tenth from its September 13 show.

Though in third place among the season enders last night, things cooled down on the Season 8 finale of MasterChef. Facing the both AGT and BB finales, unlike last year when it was just the NBC show, the Gordon Ramsay led cooking competition saw Bensonhurst dance Dino Luciano win the $250,000 prize and a slot as a cruise chef. However, MasterChef was down 21% in the demo from its Season 7 finale and 15% from the Season 8 high of its September 13 show.

ABC and the CW stayed out of both the finales and premieres game last night with a schedule full of encores.
