Going head-to-head with "Talent" at 9 p.m., Fox’s "MasterChef" managed a respectable 2.2 in the 18-49 demo, helping Fox place a close second for the night even while slipping 4% from the previous week.

CBS’s "Big Brother" equaled last week’s 2.1 average in 18-49, and ABC’s "The Lookout" also equaled last week’s number, a 0.9. The rest of the broadcast lineup consisted of repeat programming.
