“The Bachelor” ratings went through the roof Monday night. Jason Mesnick drew the largest finale numbers for the show in five years. The “After the Final Rose” ceremony had even bigger numbers than the actual two-hour finale. The finale brought in 15.5 million viewers and 5.4 rating among 18-49. The post-show special, in which Mesnick changed his mind and switched women, drew a whopping 17.5 million and 6.7/16 in the 18-49 demo. Locally, the show drew 440,000 viewers, and 540,000 for the after show special. Those are not quite “Idol” level numbers but incredibly good numbers nonetheless.
Jason told People he is "not proud" of how he went about things. But ABC must be thrilled!

Britney's in town that day for a concert at Philips, too, but no sign of her doing press.
