Oh **** !

[georgehudson]

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

[Sawyer]

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? :D
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.

[Patrick]

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? :D

What?

The ratings matter more than ever this series fgs.

[Spike]

What?

The ratings matter more than ever this series fgs.

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]

Oh no I love Juniour Apprentice... :shocked:

Ill watch it later on BBC3.

[MrGaryy]

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

...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.

[Patrick]

How do they?

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.

[georgehudson]

...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..

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.

[Patrick]

...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..

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.

[Shaun]

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.

And Junior Apprentice gets more...

[DigitalSid]

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

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.

[georgehudson]

How do you know exactly?

People like you that say that and be negative will be eating your words in a few years tbh.

[DigitalSid]

He's right to be negative, better to do that then get your expectations up.

[Patrick]

I rest my case.

First time for everything.

Name me A Reality Show thats been as big as Big Brother and has been a massive part of Britain for the past 10 years?

[arista]

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


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


So it is no problem.

[georgehudson]

And Junior Apprentice gets more...

No it doesnt, it was on the SKY website, Newspapers and stuff that JA gets like 2 million, idiot.

[MrGaryy]

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.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

WTF?!

Its very important to have good ratings this year. As a BB fan i want the show to be huge this summer and go out with a bang!

I wanna prove all those people wrong who says noone gives a f u c k about BB anymore

Im a true fan therefor want BB to be succesfull

[georgehudson]

First time for everything.

1. The producers have a series plan, they know what is going to happen (see PEJ's comments on DS) They will do their best, as its the last series, if there is 1million viewers or 10million viewers. Viewing figures aren't going to change what the producers do. And to say the producers didn't introduce any twist in BB10 because there was fewer viewers is laughable.

2. BB wont get picked up by another channel. Every serious candidate (ITV, Five, Sky) have ruled themselves out.

So basically ratings don't really matter. The only thing they will determine is how C4 will schedule the show.

[Tom4784]

First time for everything.

Name me A Reality Show thats been as big as Big Brother and has been a massive part of Britain for the past 10 years?

If C4 cancelled it in it's prime then it could have been picked up by another channel but it's been a dead horse for years now with ratings. Seriously, enjoy this series but don't put your hopes up for anything for a few years at least. You'll only set yourself up for disapointment because it WON'T get picked up by another channel. It makes no sense, the ratings are down the public are generally apathetic and it takes up a lot of valuable airtime to do. Nobody with a sane business mind will pick it up.

[georgehudson]

You talk ****t, we will see how many veiwers it gets wont we, I cant wait to proove you wrong, and yeah, it prooves you talk ****t by saying no one gives a ****, AHA!

[iRyan]

There is too much negativity going on.

Never say never....

In the end, ratings = money. Press attention does not matter. As long as a show gets great ratings, a channel WILL want it because it means more money for them.

[georgehudson]

No, FIVE havnt.

[MrGaryy]

No it doesnt, it was on the SKY website, Newspapers and stuff that JA gets like 2 million, idiot.

did you just call him and idiot? Who exactly do you think you're speaking to?!

Fn68za3iZwk

and fyi, JA got 4.04 million viewers last week and that was against BGT.

[Tom4784]

Will.

Well I'm obviously silenced by such a compelling argument....I've got qualifications in media I know how it works.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

People need to stop comparing the ratings to ears ago. Just coz the ratings are down doesnt mean they are s h i t!

A show that attracts millions of viewers is gonna appeal to any channel especially someone like channel5 or a sky channell who never even gets close to say the 6 million cbb7 got!

FACT!

[georgehudson]

did you just call him and idiot? Who exactly do you think you're speaking to?!

Fn68za3iZwk

and fyi, JA got 4.04 million viewers last week and that was against BGT.

You!

[Spike]

No, FIVE havnt.

Yes they have
The controller of FIVE said in an interview that he wouldn't go for Big Brother because its not the route that FIVE are going down at the moment. And even if FIVE wanted the show they wouldn't be able to afford it.

[MrGaryy]

You talk ****t, we will see how many veiwers it gets wont we, I cant wait to proove you wrong, and yeah, it prooves you talk ****t by saying no one gives a ****, AHA!

Oh sweetie, sit down. Anyone with a morsel of sense can see Big Brother is dead and that the only people who care anymore are pathetic stans like you on some minuscule internet forum specifically for the show. I'll be laughing when the viewers come in, along with all the TV critics.

You're not taking into account that the circulation and budget for these channels are less then C4. Even if they did want to pick it up it wouldn't get as good ratings as C4 does and it would be done on a shoestring budget.

Just let it die people, Chances are it'll come back eventually after a rest.

[georgehudson]

Well I'm obviously silenced by such a compelling argument....I've got qualifications in media I know how it works.

Ummm, im doing my Media GCSE, and im doing very well in it, so I think I know how it works.

I wouldnt be too worried BB will get more ratings :D

Thank you for that, tell that to these idiots on here :)

Yeah, college level qualifications dear. GCSE Media is really ***** all in comparision. As evidenced in your arguments.

No, they didnt and, Yes, they could.

Would you like me to find the interview out for you? But even if I did that i'm sure you wouldn't be able to accept it.

um if you had been alive at the time, which I seriously doubt you were because right now you're showing the intelligence and maturity of a 10 year old, you'd known that TV critics lapped BB1 up, praising C4's daring decisions and hailing it as a social experiment. It's only in later years they bashed it for being the trashy mess it now is.

and I'm here to take down messes like you.

He's been here longer then you so he just hasn't popped on to piss you off. The fact is that a lot of the regulars stay on for the non BB topics rather then BB, Gary's a fan but he's ultimately realistic. Enjoy this series but don't put your hopes up for a renewal because there's been more profitable shows that have been cancelled without a pickup by another channel.

Enjoy this series for what it is.

i cant believe people are backing sum1 up who has come into the BB section to basically call everyone losers and insuting our intelligence just beacause we enjoy watching a tv show.

Am i the only one to get pi s s ed of by this?!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And i did not say everyone has to arse lick big brother coz we all have our opinions on how they run the show..Good and bad!

But ultimatley we are still fans of the show hence the reason we are here

He's got a point that's why, BB has ZERO chance of getting picked up by another channel, at best we can hope for it to be revived in a few years which is the right way to go because if another channel buys it and then axes it after one series then it's dead for good.

he's not saying you're an idiot for liking it. It's for you and George burying your heads in the sands and thinking that BB will magically return to it's former glory.

[Nick.B]

There's so much negativity around here!

I must agree with both sides of the argument here. As much as I don't want to admit it, and as much as I hate admitting it - we all know Big Brother is dead right now. I would say its on its last legs, but I think it has gone beyond that point.

Big Brother is not coming back next year. End Of. We all know that. As has been stated, major channels/Broadcasters such as ITV, BBC, Five have ruled themselves out. At the moment, Five is currently for sale, and one of the companies bidding to purchase the channel is in fact, Endemol. If Endemol win the bid then of course, that is most likely the new home for Big Brother. But I don't think it will be back next year.

Upon saying that, I do believe the ratings still matter, no matter if it's the last series or not. The ratings are vital if another broadcaster is to pick the format of Big Brother up. As has also been stated in this thread, people who have not watched the show for years are going to be switching their TV's on to Channel 4 at 9pm on Wednesday 9th June. There has been a lot of hype around the very last Big Brother,more than usual. I can't hope and wish for nothing more than the show to really go out with a bang and to get good ratings.

As I have said, and I will say it again. Big Brother is not coming back next year. In a few years maybe, after the show has been re-looked at and things have been changed, maybe, and only maybe will a new broadcaster pick it up and bring the show back. It may just be under a new name and not "Big Brother".

I don't mean to be negative, I really don't. I am a massive Big Brother fan and if I could do anything to secure Big Brother I would do, but obviously I cannot. I am sure the rest of the BB fans would do anything to secure the programme and make it stable. As I have said, I don't need to get negative but we need to come back down to reality, and we have to understand that there is no life for Big Brother anymore. I wasn't happy when I heard channel 4 was axing the show, and I know a lot of people weren't at first, bit if you sit down and think about it, you will know it is the right decision. If you still sit there and believe there is still life in Big Brother, then all I can say is you have set your expectation far too high... and this is reality at the end of the day. Big Brother has done bloody well over the last 10 years. The show has been running for 10 full years now, 11 series after and 7 Celebrity Big Brother series after. Yes, the show has done very well in my eyes, but we need to let is rest now. And all I can hope for as I said at the beginning is that this series goes out with a bang and the ratings are good.

But, hopefully, Big Brother, or the format, may be back within a few years. Just keep your eyes peeled guys.

[MrGaryy]

And i did not say everyone has to arse lick big brother coz we all have our opinions on how they run the show..Good and bad!

But ultimatley we are still fans of the show hence the reason we are here

It is wrong to come into a forum and call people idiots just because we like a tv show

out of sheer curiosity, could you please direct me to the post I labelled anyone an 'idiot'. I think you'll find that was somebody else.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

DEZZY

Please read the posts correctly because he said to another forum member

"The only people who care about the show are pathetic stans like you"

So how is he not insulting us simply for liking a tv show? lol

[Shaun]

*calls agent to fly me out of this mess*

[Roisin*]

I would be worried except the juniour apprentice is a load of bolox that nobody likes.

DANIEL LEWIS

He didn't call you an idiot, at best he said you were being pathetic (which was more likely aimed at george then you) which really could be applied to this case. There's mountains of evidence against BB getting picked up again and it's annoying when members like George who know ***** all about anything think that because it's their favourite show that it'll get that magical renewal that's been denied to more successful and better shows in the past.

It's not gonna happen, be optimistic if you want to be disappointed but don't attack Gary or Spike or anyone else that's made valid points.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

MrGarry

I apologise i actually misread that.

And for future reference can you please remember how to use "inverted commas" correctly.

:)

[Tom4784]

I would be worried except the juniour apprentice is a load of bolox that nobody likes.

Except that's it's average audience is something BB would kill for...

[Shaun]

No it doesnt, it was on the SKY website, Newspapers and stuff that JA gets like 2 million, idiot.

Junior Apprentice ratings slide to 4.2m

An average of 4.00m viewers watched the show over the 9PM hour on BBC1, with a further 200,00 tuning in on BBC HD, representing a 17.4% share of the television audience at the time. The show came second in its slot, losing out to reality TV juggernaut Britain’s Got Talent.

Nearly two months into its three-month run, which ends at the beginning of September, Big Brother 10 has so far averaged 2 million viewers and a 10.1% audience share on the main Channel 4 network. This is down 33% year on year, for the show's first 53 days on air, between 4 June and last Sunday 26 July.

call me an idiot again. I dare you.

[crossieKIDD]

BB will get more viewers.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im sorry

But there is still interest in the show.

It was front page news daily for cbb7 (and not just the s h i t t y Daily Star) lol

I simply do not agree with people coming into the forum and labelling us pathetic for liking a tv show.

And noone could possibly know if another channel will pick it up so when people are saying ITS NOT GONNA GET PICKED UP like its fact then those people look like the idiots

[Beastie]

I think we just need to enjoy bb11 first.. than belly aching over whether it will be picked up for next year!!

[MrGaryy]

MrGarry

I apologise i actually misread that.

And for future reference can you please remember how to use "inverted commas" correctly.

:)

I'm sorry, could you not understand what I wrote? Or are you just being a pedantic, argumentative twat?

apology accepted btw xo.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And BBC will usually allways win with a prime time show over Channel 4 thats just how it is

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I just have to say one last thing.

The people saying that BB may get picked up by another channell are simply speculating.

The people disagreeing are speaking as if its FACT that it wont be picked up

[Joe.]

I love junior apprentice however I'll be watching BB as that's where my loyalties lie. I'll sky+ JA.

[Tom4784]

I just have to say one last thing.

The people saying that BB may get picked up by another channell are simply speculating.

The people disagreeing are speaking as if its FACT that it wont be picked up

Because it basically is, if none of the major broadcasters are going for it then It'll hardly go to a digital channel as they won't be able to afford it. Even the idea of a potential Endemol owned C5 revival is unlikely due to the fact they relied on the backing of the C4 deal to finance it. Even if they owned C5 could they really afford to pay for a proper series of BB? Because chances are sponsorship deals won't cut it. Product placement could help but it's largely not allowed on UK TV (although that's changing I think).

It's less of a fact and more of a very educated opinion. Like I said before though, enjoy this series for what it is. I will be. You never know a few years rest might do a lot of good for the show.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

You just said it yourself!

Its not a fact.

There is no such thing as basically a fact. Its fact or fiction! Theres no in between

FACT

[Braden]

At the end of the day, Big Brother are only interested in making the viewers who really want to watch the show. They probably don't care about how many viewers they get, considering it's the last one.

[Mac Hiavellian]

It's being labelled the 'last ever' Big Brother for the publicity. It's not definately the final series EVER nor is it definately getting picked up. We should just treat it as the final edition on Ch4 with the POSSIBILITY it'll be the last ever

Who knows? Perhaps Five will pick up CBB and after that, a BB12?
Channel 4's 'creative renewal' could suffer so in 2012 or after they could bring back BB?
It could be in a year's time or 10?

No one knows for definate.

[Glenn.]

Well I know what I will be watching and it certainly won't be Junior Apprentice:thumbs:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

How do you know exactly?

People like you that say that and be negative will be eating your words in a few years tbh.

patrick your really getting on my nerves with your anti negative ****, its the last series of one of the best shows on tv, so i will be as negative as i want

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Hes getting on your nerves with his "anti negaitive" attitude?!

Its better than being f u ck i n g negative and putting a downer on everything!

Stop being so miserable and enjoy!

ok, listen, the bb fans who think BB may be picked up are in their rights to do so, they have a right to an opinion and I can understand why they think so. So far, with the house and 24/7 feed producers are trying hard to boost ratings and I'm sure ratings will inflate !

The people who are arguing it will not come back, that is you opinion too but I have noticed its nearly completely you that are making insulting comments !

The positive people have not made too many insults, they are only replying back to what the negative users are saying ... so, I think this insulting should be cut out because everyone in entitled to an opinion !

(When I say positive/negative I mean positive/negative towards revival)

Hes getting on your nerves with his "anti negaitive" attitude?!

Its better than being f u ck i n g negative and putting a downer on everything!

Stop being so miserable and enjoy!

thats what im saying duh! lets enjoy the series for what it is and not give a **** about ratings and press coverage

[daniel-lewis-1985]

But we want the final BB to be massive! How awesome would it be to see BB top of the ratings one last time!

As bb fans obviously we want the show to be popular. its like football fans wanting their team to win.

but what i am trying to say is that ratings dont reflect the quality of a show, so they dont matter all that matters is that this is a really really good series i dont give a **** if it isnt popular or doesnt get watched by many people, their loss imo

Ideally, I think fans want a bit of both. A quality series that's also popular with the press and so gets a better reception. Look at BB5, 6 and 7, all had the odd criticisms but were generally liked.

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? :D
Its the last series. Ratings don't really matter

Precisely... they wont take it off air will they!!.. Lets enjoy it for one last time.

[ButterflyGirl]

I'll be watching it on i player later, probs.

[Tom4784]

You just said it yourself!

Its not a fact.

There is no such thing as basically a fact. Its fact or fiction! Theres no in between

FACT

Well it's a fact that all the major and able channels have turned it down and it's a fact that at least for now this is the final BB on C4.

Do I need to break it down even more? As things stand it hasn't a hope in hell unless Endemol buys C5 and can support a full BB series. Which isn't likely.

All I'm hoping for is a decent final series and that it doesn't follow the example of BB10. Enjoy it for what it is people.

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

I rest my case.

Red Dwarf. Dropped by BBC, brought back by Dave.

But that wasn't cancelled in the last ten years, that was more of a revival rather then a pick up. The only example I can think of are Futurama and Family Guy but they're both american examples and don't apply to UK Broadcasters.

I just have to say one last thing.

The people saying that BB may get picked up by another channell are simply speculating.

The people disagreeing are speaking as if its FACT that it wont be picked up

None of the major channels would be interested in jumping on the BB wagon at this point. It's past it's glory days and is considered a dying brand. Plus it costs too much and requires huge time slots. No chance.

Sky would be the only realistic option. But their track record on reviving old shows is pretty dire and I just don't think they'd bother with this. It certainly wouldn't be the same. Maybe in a few years when its going cheap and nostalgia sets in.

Ok then... Big Brother! :joker: (Although you said recommisioned in the last 10 years, not cancelled in the last 10 years :O ) Do I win a prize now? Ive waited long enough...
