Nicks premiere drew 6.56 million viewers with a 2.1 rating, slightly down from Ben's season last year which drew in 7.55 million and a 2.2 rating. Next week's episode will go up against the college national football championship so the numbers will probably dip, however this year the Grammys are on a Sunday so they shouldn't interfere with the ratings.

Actually the success of a show no longer depends on the number of viewers but rather on the rating in relationship to other shows occurng at the same time. This is because overall the number of live viewers is rapidly declining due to online viewing and on demand viewing.  Nick's season so far has done extremely well when you consider the ratings with respect to the other shows on Monday nights. Here's the link to an article with the actual numbers for this last week:

And an article that states the numbers for Nick's season are steady with last season based upon the first episodes for each season:

Having ratings consistent each year is actually difficult to achieve for shows as they usually see a slow decline each additional season. I think that Nick's season is doing fine.

In fact, Robert Mills, executive producer at ABC agrees in this link around (0:55). He says that Nick's season is pacing ahead of Ben's season. He actually called it unprecedented:

TV Ratings: ‘The Bachelor’ Finale Edges Out ‘The Voice’ in the Demo

The Nielsen dry spell has broken, raining down ratings points like manna from heaven to hungry researchers. Here’s what happened Monday night, according to Nielsen’s final national numbers:

“The Bachelor” chose a fiancee, but while the finale hit a season high, it still barely edged out “The Voice” in the two hours the reality series went head-to-head. The final two hours of Nick Viall’s season brought in a 2.7 rating in the 18-49 demographic and an average audience of 8.4 million. “The Bachelor: After the Final Rose” notched a 2.4 in the demo and brought 7.85 million pairs of eyeballs to ABC
