The BB11UK Launch is going head to head with the Junior Apprentice!
That wont help ratings AT ALL.
Im worried...

Is junior apprentice getting good ratings?

[*mazedsalv**]

Dont worry, its gets 4-5m.. wont affect it much.

[Lewis.]

I'm addicted to JA but I'm watching BB. I can watch the JA on Iplayer.

[Spike]

Junior Apprentice wont have too much of an effect on the launch
and if it does, who cares? What they going to do, axe BB?
Its the last series. Ratings don't really matter

[Patrick]

LMAO BB is far more popular than some little spin off from the main Apprentice.

How do they?

[georgehudson]

Yeah I know but every veiwer counts, and the more veiwers, the more chance of it being aired on channel FIVE when its finished!

[Jords]

...it isn't actually.

However, it shouldn't make a massive impact on it. Besides like Spike said, who gives a ****. The show has zero chance of being recommissioned or picked up so ratings are unimportant..

[zotler.]

Personally, I will Sky+ Junior Apprentice, but meh. There's replays of them both as well, so not much of a biggie.

1. If the ratings are good then the producers will be putting in more effort to keep those ratings from falling, lets say the ratings were like 1 Million then the producers wouldn't bother doing any big twists and stuff because no one is watching this is what I feel happened with BB10.

2. If the ratings are very good for BB11 well then more channels will show an intrest in the show to purchase it after BB11 Ends this is proven by what happen with CBB7 in January and that only got 3 Million and yet channels said they would buy it.


So basically the ratings do matter for this series, people may think because BB is axed that they don't matter but thats not how other brodcasters will look at it when they consider buying Big Brother.

Erghhh, yeah it is acctuly, Its gets like 2 million every week, BB normally gets like 6 million on Launch, espeicially as its the last series, I heard on the radio someone who hasnt watched for years and is going to watch it because its the last one so probably loads of people are thinking that.

Ratings wise, your right it isn't.

But lets look at how big BB has been over the past years, and then look at this little show.

BB is bigger than alot of Reality Shows even if the past few seasons haven't been getting the 5 Million JA has, plus a BB Launch usually gets 6 Million, I can't see everyone missing the final Big Brother launch for some other little show.

Well if Salv's right about the 4-5 mill figure, it gets 2-2.5 million more viewers per ep than BB did last year.

[Tom4784]

People, name a UK series in the last 10 years that has been recommisioned by another channel?

I rest my case.

Most homes can record the BBC
while watching the Live Start of BB11


So it is no problem.

I'm sorry but you have a totally inflated opinion of BB. The truth is nobody gives a **** about BB anymore, regardless of it being the last series. It's gotten **** all press attention even though the launch is days away, it's a totally irrelevant show. It will very much struggle to get it's usual 6 million.
