7 million sounds like a lot but it's not, as the population of America is far bigger than the population of the UK. 7 million in America is equivalent to about 1.5 million in the UK.
So last year's BBUSA was on par with BB15. But BB15 was a lower rated series. On average, these days BBUK has a loyal audience of about give or take 1.7m.
So realistically BBUK these days is doing slightly better than BBUSA. Not to mention CBB is almost double the ratings of the civilian, so that beats it by a margin.
