LOS ANGELES (Variety.com) – The astronaut drifted off into space elimination last night on “The Masked Singer,” but the Fox show didn’t score quite the same galactic audience numbers as usual.

Episode 14 of “Masked Singer” season 3 scored a 2.0 rating among adults 18-49 and drew 7.5 million viewers. While that was easily good enough to top the night ratings-wise, it also represents the show’s smallest audience Live+Same Day audience since March 11. The second edition of its “After The Mask” after show scored a 1.2 rating and 4.6 million viewers, meaning that Fox comfortably won the night overall.

CBS came second thanks to “Survivor,” which remained even on last week at a 1.5 rating and 8 million total viewers. Later on, “SEAL Team” scored a season high 0.8 rating and 5.8 million viewers, the same tally as last week. “S.W.A.T.” also had an impressive showing, matching its season high 0.7 rating and drawing just under 5 million pairs of eyeballs.

The only other new programming on Wednesday night was “Riverdale” on the CW, which ticked up fractionally to a 0.2 rating and 686,000 total viewers, which represents a seven-episode high. A “Bulletproof” rerun followed it with a 0.1 and 368,000 viewers.

ABC aired a trio of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” reruns, the first two of which scored a 0.6 rating, with the third coming in at a 0.5. The three episodes averaged 3.6 million viewers.

Finally on NBC, back-to-back reruns of the network’s “Chicago” dramas averaged a 0.5 rating and 4.1 million viewers across the night.
