Friday Ratings: ‘Big Brother: Celebrity Edition’ Wins The Night’s Demo For CBS

A two-hour finale for Hell’s Kitchen meant there was no room on the Fox schedule for perennial Friday ratings champion Last Man Standing.

That left the field wide open for CBS, and Big Brother: Celebrity Edition was the winner, scoring a 1.0/5 in demographics and a total of 4.40 million viewers to top the night. That was actually down a tenth from its Thursday night, but enough to carry the evening. Blue Bloods also dipped, scoring a 0.7/4 at 10 PM, but luring in an impressive 7.53 million total viewers.
