On ABC, the season premiere of “Bachelor in Paradise” (1.1, 3.8 million) was on par with last season’s Tuesday premiere but down from the Monday premiere. The series premiere of “Castaways” drew a 0.7 and 3.2 million viewers.

“Beat Shazam” (0.6, 2.2 million) dipped on Fox, while “Love Connection” (0.4, 1.4 million) was even.

“The 100” (0.3, 0.94 million) was even on CW and “The Outpost” (0.2, 0.63 million) ticked up in the demo.
