Thursday TV Ratings 12/7/23: Christmas at the Opry Decent on NBC, Bachelor in Paradise Hits Series Low for Finale, Hell’s Kitchen Leads (Final Ratings w/Analysis)

Ratings Analysis: With most of the serious competition out of the way, Fox mainstay Hell's Kitchen (0.38, 0.00) was able to top the night and tie its season high. Despite the stability of Hell's, LEGO Masters (0.21, -0.02) inched down and matched its series low. On NBC, Christmas at the Opry (0.30) was not as strong as last week's Grinch but helped the peacock network stay relatively competitive in the 8 p.m. hour. After Opry came a solid Dateline (0.27). ABC's Bachelor in Paradise (0.31, -0.03) set a new series low on finale night and could only place third in its time slot. In CBS news, The Price Is Right At Night (0.34, -0.01) shed a hundredth and led into more UK Ghosts (0.22/0.17). Sitcoms Son of a Critch (0.05, +0.01) and Children Ruin Everything (0.04, +0.01) were slightly up on the CW.
