On Lifetime, THE RAP GAME gained 0.02 to 0.45, and BRING IT was down 0.03 to 0.44. History’s ANCIENT ALIENS rose 0.02 to 0.32. Discovery’s BERING SEA GOLD was up 0.04 to 0.30, and BLUE COLLAR BACKERS dropped a tick to 0.15. The season finale of Syfy’s KILLJOYS lost 0.02 to 0.18, and DARK MATTER fell 0.08 to 0.14. On We, MILLION DOLLAR MATCHMAKER ticked up to 0.16. OWN’s LOVE THY NEIGHBOR dropped 0.02 to 0.14.
