ABC is celebrating one of its best summertime weeks in the TV ratings largely because of Emily Maynard's big choice on "The Bachelorette."
The single mom from Charlotte, N.C., gave her final rose to entrepreneur Jef Holm in the show's season finale on Sunday.
Nielsen said both the two-hour episode and the hourlong interview special that followed drew nearly 9 million viewers. Add in the second-to-last episode on July 16, and Maynard gave ABC three of the week's top 10 shows.
