still good though :)

[Scarlett.]

indeed! Not bad at all :)

[Stu]

Completely expected given the content of the show.

['Conor]

thats good considering last nights show we seen 80% of it allready on the launch night

[Stacey.]

Good, good!:)
we need all the viewers we can get atm :thumbs:And it`ll all be okkk :) haha

[Smithy]

thats always going to happen adter the launch as not much happens after those initial few hours, id imagine if CBB manages to stay front page news they may increase slightly to an averag of 3.5 mill.

[Marc]

Standard.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

yeah exactly. Just hope the ratings stay like this. I love big bro and want it to get the ratings it deserves!

[Gavin]

Terrible ratings for last night. Three million have already jumped the sinking ship!?

If it can only got 3.4m for the first highlights show, imagine how highlights next week will do when the press interest dies down!

I knew having that awful task at the end of the launch would put some people off. Dear oh dear... we have another flop once again.

no we dont have a flop, there is a traditional drop in ratings from the launch to second show. People are unlikly to watch the first show because not much happens in those 4 hours, the ratings will probably gradually improve.

But the facts show that the first highlights show is usually more watched than most other highlights shows. That was the case in BB9, CBB6.

IBB :

The first highlights episode of Celebrity Big Brother brought in a good audience for Channel 4 last night, overnights claim.

The Guardian reports that CBB’s 10pm highlights show, aired across 70 minutes, brought in 3.4 million viewers live on Channel 4.

This ranked Channel 4 second in its slot, beaten only by BBC News with 5.1 million.

CBB attracted 18% of the viewing audience, trumping out ITV’s News at Ten with 14%.

An average of 156,000 viewers watched the highlights on Channel 4+1 from 11pm, bringing the first night average to almost 3.6m, up slightly from the 3.4m who watched last year’s first CBB highlights.

However, the 3.4m figure from last year is an official rating; it actually pulled 3.1 million in the overnights, meaning this year’s figure is significantly up on the last.

The real test will come in successive shows – will it sustain this audience or lose it, as it did last year?

Keep an eye out!

:wink:

3.5m is a very good result - just have to wait and see if it can hold it.

And Gavin - shut up! And have a shave!

How is 3.5m good?!?! It lost 2.7m viewers in a single day! The share is down.

I was expecting at least 4m.

Don't be a prat. There is always a huge drop after launch.

3.5 is a miracle in this day and age. And I can only see it going up.

[Iceman]

for a show that had everythign we'd already seen thats pretty amazing i think...

Ok. Convince yourselves 3.5m is good, when it's not.

I bet they'll be down to 2.5m this time next week. Shirley Jones has disappointed me so far... I was expecting more of her.

[Lewis.]

3.5 is very good considering it was a 10pm - 11pm show. The later ones tend not to get as many viewers because of people who have to work early and go to school early.

I don't need to convince myself. It was good. Anybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of UK Big Brother and the television industry knows it's good. It's pretty primary stuff.

Exactly, which Gavin is conveniently ignoring. Based on where we were last year and in the summer anything over 3m is a success. Three years ago 4m+ may have been desired, but on current expectations it is so far, so much better than expected.

Who knows how things will pan out over the next few days and weeks (that depends on whether the producers screw things up yet again), but if they're still around the 3m level this time next week they should be pleased with that.

10pm is and always has been the much better slot for BB and usually where it performs best. They'll be some competition from the news tonight with people snowed in watching it to find out they're snowed in, but I expect ratings to be steady.

[Gavin]

Anyway, I do want the ratings to do well. It would make Channel 4 really regret their decision for axing the show and send their channel down the gutter :D.

What series average would you be happy with? Is 3.0m actually any good? That would make it the second worst ever!

[Callum]

That's still good, most of it was seen in the launch show so I think anything over 3m is very decent.

[Tom4784]

Oh Gavin those ratings ARE good, they came second in the ratings for the time slot. You're trolling's gotten so boring now, you've fizzled out. The average ratings for a C4 on a normal evening is ussually 1-mid 2 million, so C4 will be very happy with that. Since the feedback has been mainly positive too I doubt the audience will drop so steeply and quickly. It could do mid way if it all goes wrong but I can't see it bombing really.

[Brekkie]

Now personally I'd love it to be back comfortably above 4m nightly, but realistically above 3m is a huge improvement on where the show was last year.

However, with the show already axed it doesn't matter - and I'm not sure I want it to do well enough to force C4 to change it's decision as I do believe that considering how they've treated the show in recent years, it was the right decision. Even if the highlights shows are the best ever, the complete lack of information between shows means it's just not Big Brother any more for me. They somehow seem to have made the website even worse than BB10 too so far this year.

[Tom]

Second worst ever is better than worst ever. If Big Brother can average 3m in the overnights then I think its a big success considering the final last year didn't even reach 3m with overnight ratings.

Try adding a bit of positivity to life, it might help.

[snukey123]

3.5million is quite good, there is always a big drop from launch night hopefully they will get better

[M X]

Pretty average.

[Jords]

Not bad at all :)

While I agree with your sentiments they would read more pleasantly if could manage to avoid any anti-beard comments.
We beard - allowers save an enormous amount of carbon - footprinting; think about it.

[Braden]

I'm glad it's getting good ratings.
The show needs respect seeing as it's the last one.

So do us shavers if you use a blade. And quite ironic to hint at global warming on a day like today.

[Gavin]

They need to show more Stephen Baldwin, then the ratings will go up.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Why do people feel the need to come on here and just be negative. Just chill out and enjoy the show, your looking into it to much.

3million+ is a good figure for channel 4 and this year so far has been a success.

Big Brother is front page news again. In comparisan to last year where not even "heat" had Big Bro on the front cover.

Im really enjoying this series. And if you haters chill the ***** out im sure you will to

Stop whining you tampons!

[RCW1945]

Any hot water involved, shaving cream? How do you think blades appear on earth?
The holder? Any heat involved in its manufacture?
Carbon footprints are all enveloping, you know.

No one ever said 3.5 was perfect. However, considering some of the ratings for BB8/9/10, it's pretty high. That and the Day 1 highlights are always far lower than the launch, with daily shows hitting their peak ratings at weeks 2 and 3.
