EMPIRE leads FOX to win the night, as #1 in the 18-34 demographic and tied SURVIVOR in the A18-34 demo. STAR stays respectable, retaining over 70% of its lead in.

SURVIVOR grabs 8.1 million viewers and a 1.8 rating in Adults 18-49, wins the 8 PM hour, topping/tying EMPIRE in all categories except the A18-34 demographic. SURVIVOR was the most watched show of the night. At 10 PM, CRIMINAL MINDS battles it out with CHICAGO PD for the top spot at 10 PM, hauling in 5.9 million viewers and a 1.0 rating in the A18-49 demo. The weak point of the night for CBS is at 9 PM, as SEAL TEAM losses 50% of the A18-34 lead in and 40% in the A18-49 demo.
