Ive Hoped That BB12 Would Be Another bb7
(No chance)
Im Guessing About hmmmm 1.8 (lowest) heights of (3,1)

Im Hoping Its Higher
What Does TIBB Think?

[T*]

12 people

[Maia]

Roughly 1m. I can't see it getting 3m+ like it got on Channel 4.

[Andrew.]

BB12; About... 1 Milllion (when, word spreads everyone will be interested to watch it coming back, maybe the moaners will think 'oh hey its on another channel, different presenter, maybe its changed for the goof, ill give it a try.)

BB13; Word spreads again that its back, more and more viewers watch it...

And so on and so on. or i think maybe the launch might not get that much... but maybe half way in when people have nothing to watch and they just flick through the tv listings and see it theyll watch it....

[Novo]

Launch night will get around 1,800,000 - 2,000,000

really? i never figured it would be that low
for them to reach 4 mil on launch
they would need to cover daily star and ok magazine ect for a week

i dont see it beng that low
thats roughly highlight shows

[southblue]

Series averages were at an all time low during BB10 (2.5m). It could be argued that this is the number of core fans that the show attracts. I believe that without extensive advertising, BB12 will probably only attract this core group of fans.
Having said that, running the Celebrity version first could prove fruitfull (as this tends to attract more casual viewers). However, without a couple of big names, this could be a risky strategy as many fans prefer the main show to the Celeb version.
These two factors may cancel each other out though. So I predict a season average for CBB at around 2.5m (with launch night and final night perhaps topping 3m)
I think the success of BB12 very much depends on the popularity of CBB. But as a guess I would say minimum 2m and max 3.5m with an average of 2.5-3m.
Just a guess mind

[Petershaw1984]

Celeb launch 2.4 million then average 1.2 million for the highlights

Bb12 2.1 million for the launch then averaging 1.1-1.2 million for the highlights and live shows. This is considering they get a stellar cast.

Which is a lot of viewers considering corrie and eastender are stuck at around 8 million

[Jarrod]

I suppose as-well it depends when they air Big Brother. If it airs at around 9pm-10pm that's a Prime-Time Slot after the Watershed. BB Would be great to air at 9pm. If it's on too late maybe some won't watch the program.

[Pronshi]

I didn't realise how low the ratings could be
I assumed most BB fans would know its on,
then lots of non fans would give it a chance on the new channel
either way 1 million is the least it will get and even for channel 5 thats amazing!

[Loukas]

Just under 3 million on launch, then sinking to 1.7/1.9??

[daniel-lewis-1985]

2 million max

it will probably launch at 8

[Black Dagger]

I'm going to say launch show of 2M then at the end of the series about 800k...

But we'll see =).

can some tell me tho? are these ratings good for channel 5?
Also does anyone seeing it going on for another 10 years?
because it will be the best preforming show for channel 5

[Jordan.]

Series Average: 1.5m

[Pronshi]

Series Average: 1.5m

Fair enough :)

[AJ.]

Launch sub 2M, 1M after that. Depends if they advertise outside the Desmond bubble.

yes if mr desmond would like to make use of the £200 million blew he must advertise big brother like crazy to make it as successful as last year

Not a chance will it be on for another 10 years - the majority of the public see Big Brother as this trashy reality show for chavs and wannabies, so unless C5 can somehow magically change everyones opinions of the show then it will never get the viewers it needs to stay on that long.

If the show can keep up 1.5m-2m viewers throughout the two year deal then I see the show going on for another three or so years after that, but a total of 5 years is the absolute maximum I think, by that point, after 15 years of Big Brother, most people (even some of the fans) will probably be sick of it!

[Marcus.]

any many as to get the to make more

i guess so...
I like the show. Big Brother And Im A Celebrity is the only trash shows I like, Im not a chav i hate most chavs. I hate other trash tv like geordie shore and TOWIE all boring shows

I agree If Desmond wants to pull this one off he is going to have work hard, from what ive seen this is going to be one massive FLOP

I'm just going to try and enjoy this series as much as possible because there's every chance this series will fail and it will be cancelled yet again, and once it's been cancelled twice I very much doubt that some other channel will pick it up. It really will be the end of Big Brother. :bawling:

[Vicky.]

About 2m ish

[DOE24]

The launch i think will be 3.5-4 million, people are gonna watch to see what its like, then the rest of the celebrity run should get around 2 million, and then "normal" big brother should average 1.5 maybe peeking at times at 2 million. I think Channel 5 would be pleased with these kinda numbers.

[Gillian-73]

About 1.5m average! i'm actually surprised how many people i've spoken to who've said, thought bb had finished for good! quite a few weren't aware it was coming back on 5.

I pray that they bring it back to bb7 standards or bb6
Best Years Ever! (i started watching from last week of bb5)

Cant really say they are the best years ever if you never really watched the first 4 series lol

Back on topic though i cant see how people look down on BB and think its trash when 10 million people tune in to Im a Celebrity to watch washed up celebs eating kangaroo testicles??

Crazy.

[TheBrother]

I hope they get over 1 million, I would feel sorry for them if they get less then that. I know they have at least 1 viewer though xD

[MeMyselfAndI]

My guess is 2m series average
with launch like 3m

[craigie2405]

No way, channel 5 will beat any show on channel 4 right now honestly

[CharlieO]

Channel 5 aren't advertising enough at the moment to get high launch viewers.

[DigitalSid]

Depends on the celebs.

[Pronshi]

i 100% agree, recently ive seen channel 5 viewing figures rising and channel 4 dropping. Like the big fight on channel 5 brought in 3 mil on the bag

i think this show may just prove a hit for channel 5 and may put it on the map.
Just if the fans have faith

Agreed, a couple of nights ago, Five had around 1.2-1.5m in the 9pm/10pm slot, while C4 dropped to around 715k.

im glad im not the only one noticing this now lol
and if rumour has it charlie sheen on CBB 2011
We are talking ratings of 5mil a night

[King Gizzard]

542 people

[Brad.]

About 2.2m for launch and 1.0m-1.4m HL shows.

[Patrick]

2 Million for launch.

1 Million for Highlights.

Can see CBB getting more ratings though :rolleyes: because of the celebrities if they're good enough.
But then again it's on in winter, when people like to stay in so the ratings might be better than we expect.

It depends really aswell on the media coverage it gets, and The Daily Star will ensure it's front page constantly.

agreed :)
If the rumours of stars like jedward and Charlie sheen the ratings will go through the roof for CBB
