**The Official CBB8 and BB12 Ratings Thread On Five**

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What do the percentages mean?

I think its relates to a percentage of the audience for that specific time?

Dont quote me on that.

BB is doing well when it comes to % though

[joeysteele]

They are good figures, they would have been good figures on Channel 4 still too but for Channel 5 it has to be a really great success so far.

[iRyan]

That's what I thought. That's really good then. Like 22% on Launch Night? That's massive.

[The_Big_Send_Off]

im guessing 2.4 tonight but lets hope they keep getting bigger

[craigie2405]

If they aired it earlier they would get more, I have few friends who love bb and can't watch. it coz orbit being on late during the week.

[DigitalSid]

CBB - 2.43 13% :)
BOTS - 0.859 8.4% :eek:

[Red Moon]

CBB - 2.43 13% :)
BOTS - 0.859 8.4% :eek:

It is good the main show is keeping the audience share, and I think we have to remember even the share of the spin off show is 2.4% more than the average audience share for the channel.

Lets hope they can get it a little higher to average about 15% when the main show starts. I can't see channel 5 being unhappy with that.

That is great thought the ratings would be slightly under 2.0 by now

Awful :( what were C4's saturday average for BB11?

[Maia]

Dipped below 2m :( I expected it though, didn't feel like anyone was watching it last night.

[BB IS ALIVE]

That will young programe was on ITV1 straight after the X-factor fished, so lots of people will have stayed on the same channel.
It also had strong competition from BBC 1 & 2 with the proms and casualty and John Bishops britain. Hope the ratings pick up again tonight.

[BB IS ALIVE]

Awful :( what were C4's saturday average for BB11?

BB11 saturdays averaged around 2.3-4m, and at the moment cbb is averaging 2.25 over the two saturdays we've had so far......

[georgehudson]

It was saturday so I don't expect it to do as well.

[Jordan.]

It was saturday so I don't expect it to do as well.

Last saturday was its highest HL's show rating yet.

I'm putting it down to been up against Will Young and Sex In The City, there goes most the women audience right there.

Hopefully it'll be back up tonight.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I wouldnt worry i reckon it will be over 2 million again from tonight.

[billy123]

Quoted from ds ratings.
Last night
Celebrity Big Brother: 2.08m (10.3%)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

People are getting bored with it now including me :(

That house needs drama but nothing is going on and i feel out of the loop.

Atleast its hit the 2 million mark though.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last night's highlights show peaked at 2.39m (11.5%).

402,000 (4.0%) caught up on Saturday's show during Sunday lunchtime.

Does anyone know when we will get the officials?

[BB IS ALIVE]

I think officials come about two weeks after the overnights, but dont quote me on that

[Maia]

Good to see it over 2m again.

[BB IS ALIVE]

I think the ratings could go up further this week, with nominations revealed tonight, eviction on wednesday, and on friday, so hopefully we will see ratings of 2.5 upwards towards the end of the week :cool:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Channel 5 came in 3rd beating ITV1 lol...how embaressed they must be.

Channel 4 was last again.

Last night was quite quiet all round with it being bank holiday.

Overall, BBC One held pole position in primetime with 22.2%, ahead of BBC Two's 12.1%, Channel 5's 10.2%, ITV1's 8.2% (+1: 0.4%), and Channel 4's 5.7% (+1: 0.9%).

[daniel-lewis-1985]

According to digital spy lasy Mondays episode went from 2.2 in the overnights to 2.6 in officials.

Dont know where they got this figure from but no other days are available.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

2.27mill for Celebrity Big Brother last night. Beating Shameless on Channel 4.

[Maia]

Good stuff.

[Valdora]

Seems to have stuck at the 2 million mark. A really good, infamous regular season is what is needed to get people back in my mind. Both fans and casual viewers.

[BB IS ALIVE]

wonder what tonights evictio will get, maybe 2.5?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Overall Channel 4 have beat Channel 5 over the past 2 nights % wise

[joeysteele]

Would like to see higher figures for Channel 5 but I know of a lot more people are watching Channel 5 now, hope it stays strong for the main BB.

[Jordan.]

Only 100k down on last tuesday so thats good. Tonights live show should hopefully help boost the overall rating for this week.

[RichardG]

I'm not sure it will, unless you watch Big Brother you wouldn't know it was an eviction tonight. The only thing which I think will help it will be that it's on at 9pm instead of 10pm, that might make it do a bit better.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Tonight will probs get 2.5m

I would prefer it on at 9pm, it is for eviction nights so I think that would be a good move definately for the main BB.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Apparently the main series eviction nights are being moved to 11pm

[RichardG]

Not good!

[Valdora]

Wow. It's like they want to kill it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Surely BB allways starting 5 minutes late causes the ratings in the time slot drop?

[DigitalSid]

2.4m 9.8%

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Hmm not great.

[BB IS ALIVE]

Well, many people would'nt have know it was an eviction :shocked:

[happybbfan]

For a well advertised live event last nights ratings are not grear at all.i feel that the ratings that c5 are getting for CBB are the ratings they wanted for BB12.
Jeff Ford has said that 2.5 million were good not excellent ratings and that was for normal BB

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its actually 2.3

Celebrity Big Brother averaged 2.36m (9.8%) for Channel 5 in the 9pm hour, as David Hasselhoff's ex-wife was voted out of the house instead of fellow nominee Darryn Lyons. Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side was seen by 344k (1.9%) on 5* from 10pm.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Channel 5 beaten by Channel 4 for the 3rd day in a row

Overall, BBC One stole primetime with 18% against ITV1's 16.6% (+1: 0.7%). Channel 4 came next with 7.3% (+1: 1.2%), followed by BBC Two with 6.6% and Channel 5 with 5.6%.

I think so. :joker:

They're good ratings for Channel 5, but they're not very good ratings for Celebrity Big Brother. I mean, least years averged at 3.7m and this one seems to be averaging at 2.3m or something. We should probably admit that it's failing a little bit now, because normal Big Brother always gets less so BB12 will probably end up averaging at something like 1.6m. :bawling:

[DigitalSid]

2.1m 10.8%

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its fair to say this series is not doing great.

I used to live BB but now its just a tv show to me.

Was hoping they would average 2.5 atleast.

We do actually need live feed to connect with the housemates.

The first sensible thing you have said for ages :wavey:
Im joking danny but its right the no live feed debacle has killed all the online chatter its like they dont want the forums or the fansites to have an opinion they have cut us off.
jeff ford said if things werent working then they might be forced to reconsider now that makes me torn i love big brother but its pathetic at the moment can i bring myself to hope viewing figures drop? not yet i cant but im heading that way fast!

When/where did J Ford say if things dont work out they might reconsider.The only line i know of is where he says about moving on from watching housemates sleeping.C5 simply dont want us to watch the show other than the main one and spin offs.
C5 have screwed up big time but will they admit it

Im really crestfallen its really given me a horrible gutted feeling i have defended this show against haters for years but now i just feel defeated,deflated and demoralised :bawling:
I like the faster tone to the show im not sold on the style of editing but it doesnt bother me but cutting off the entire online community by strangling them to death :nono:
what the hell C5 its broken you need to at least address the obvious.

[RichardG]

Good i hope they do something soon and just admit its dying without live feed or more info from the house etc

Live feed cannot be the reason for the drop in ratings because only 81,000 people bought the feed in BB11 and that still got an average of 2.7m. People just don't like the show anymore. Hell, even BB10 averaged 2.5m and that didn't have Live Feed either. Sure, it had some at night, but I highly doubt those few hours they gave us are the reason people kept watching the show. I bet a lot didn't even watch those hours they gave us.

I'm not going to deny it's good for the show, I can see some of the rreeaallly big fans will stop watching because there isn't any LF. I can't imagine there are many who will stop watching because of that reason alone though.

My guess is that people don't like the show, didn't want to carry on watching on C5, they don't like the editing and they don't like the housemates. The launch got 5.2m and the next show got 3.7m, that's what's so annoying. Clearly the audience for the show is still there, they producers just keep getting it wrong for some reason. Something is putting people off watching. I imagine it's the lack of many real celebrities which is a big factor in why people gave up on it.

[happybbfan]

86000 households may have brought live feed last year not individuals.
Even those who choose not to watch live feed are now admitting there is nothing to talk about.They would have got info from live feed viewers and that would in turn create a buzz and talk at school/college/work etc
The editing from what i have seen is not up to scratch either from C4 standards and the content is so poor that even the main show is leaving very little to talk about
C5 have ignored what is the main priciple of the show to be availabe to watch 24/7 even if you choose not to do so.
facebook and twitter are a farce with their constant deleting and blocking anyone who is not in the Happy House.
Evictions are turning into a non event as even the casual viewer would want to see the events in the house for an hour or two

yes there is an audience for the show but C5 have missed out big time here live feed would have been a big part of the show to Jedward fans and im sure there seemed more who wanted to view this time round compared to last year,seeing as it was new and on a different channel

Last night will have been affected by celebrity juice returning.

People in schools and workplaces can still talk about what happened in the highlights show, it's the online forums that are affected most by the lack of live feed. Don't get be wrong, i'm not saying that having no live feed is fine and no one cares about it because I know that's wrong and many people DO care about it, i'm just saying that I can't imagine the majority of the audience would stop watching for that reason alone. Just looking through BB5-BB9, they all had live feed and yet the ratings were still dropping series by series, it's no surprise that it's got to the low 2m point that it's at now because it was always going to end up here. People don't care about the show anymore.

Jedward fans are still watching the show though even though there's no live feed, and 86,000 people or 86,000 households, doesn't really matter. At the most i'd say that number would affect a total of 100,000 people at most which, if all of BB11's audience watched this series, should have meant there would only be a drop of 100,000 viewers so this series would have got an average of 2.6.

I think for BB12 they should really bring back live feed on either 5* or the website just to satisfy those who want it and see if it does really bring back a mahoosive amount of people like some claim it will do. I can't imagine it would but even if it can add an extra 25,000 people that's still something. I genuinely do think it would be hard for them to reach the point of around 3m people per night these days though, even if they had unlimited free live feed, amazing editing and amazing housemates. The public just doesn't care anymore to watch them for weeks on end every night.

Last night will have been affected by celebrity juice returning.

This is true as well, a lot of the BB audience love Celebrity Juice and would have been watching that.

We are not talking about live feed viewers we are talking about the buzz live feed brings.

When people watch live feed know whats going on in the house word spreads as they tell their friends ect....

The media can grab live pictures and create stories hence getting headlines and more interest.

Live feed lets us connect with the show but without it Big Brother is no longer a big deal its just a tv show....aka TOWIE

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And bay BB11 averaged 2.9 not 2.7 and BB10 did have live feed throughout the night which imo help people connect more with the housemates and regular updates on the C4 website.

I'm sure it does do good for the show, but even if there was live feed and people were talking about it and headlines being made, I just genuinely don't see that bringing in hundreds of thousands of more viewers. I think there's only a handful of people who genuinely care about what's happening in the house, and probably 90% of those are already watching the highlights now. That's just my opinion - if you guys think i'm wrong then that's fine. I'm not here to cause an argument with the live feed people or anything like that. :D

And bay BB11 averaged 2.9 not 2.7 and BB10 did have live feed throughout the night which imo help people connect more with the housemates and regular updates on the C4 website.

I can't imagine many headlines were being created from the housemates sleeping. :p yeah, ok, i'm sure they were awake for a little while but I doubt many front page news stories were being created at those times of the night.

[Jordan.]

I think one of the main problem this year is it seems everynight its clashing with another big show. During the summer when its normally on theres hardly anything to watch apart from BB. Come Autumn loads of shows come back on air.

I'm sure it does get people watching it. I'm sure it does make people talk about the show. All i'm saying is, to those who don't like/watch the show, does hearing "last night Mario had to pretend to be a mole!" really make them want to watch the show? Would that make hundreds of thousands of people flock to their tv's at 10pm just because they were told that? I know I don't rush home to watch TOWIE just because I hear people talking about all the crazy stuff good old Mark and Amy did in the previous show.

Clearly we both don't have the same opinions so i'm just going to stop posting here now because this will just be an endless 'i think this', 'i think this' conversation which doesn't reach any conclusion. I understand where you are coming from, I just personally don't believe that live feed is the reason the ratings are dropping.

[Jake.]

2.1 million watched last night, but the audience share was 1% higher than wednesdays eviction

[daniel-lewis-1985]

People can be forgiven for not knowing last nights "secret" eviction :rolleyes:

But tonight is the true test...The regular Friday eviction show.

[happybbfan]

The secret eviction was well advertised from the previous friday,every night after highlights show,so i dont think people could have missed or forgot they just chose not to bother.Tonight wil be interesting but the true test still lies in BB12

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Good news......

Cahnnel 5 have beat Channel 4 in the ratings

Overall, ITV1 soared back into the lead in Thursday primetime with 24.8% (+1: 0.7%) against BBC One's 19%. BBC Two came third with 7.4%, ahead of Channel 5's 5.5% and Channel 4's 4.6% (+1: 1%).



Atleast theres something positive? lol

[Jake.]

If only it was always on at 9

[BB IS ALIVE]

If it was on at 9 it would clash with more programs surley, meaning that the % would be lower, even if the numbers were up?

[Patrick]

Its fair to say this series is not doing great.

I used to live BB but now its just a tv show to me.

Was hoping they would average 2.5 atleast.

We do actually need live feed to connect with the housemates.

Agree 110% on everything you said here, especially that second part.

[Lewis.]

Think it will struggle tonight as MPD is back and a new series of outnumbered starts too on BBC1.

[*mazedsalv**]

Celebrity Big Brother 2011 BARB official ratings are out for the first five days:

18/8 - 5.27m (launch)
19/8 - 3.37m
20/8 - 3.15m
21/8 - 2.47m
22/8 - 2.69m

The official average for the first 5 days was: 3.39m

Not a good timeshift for the first 2 shows, the rest, especially Saturdays, timeshifted brilliantly.

[Jake.]

Bloody hell thats looking great when compared with the overnights, lets hope the rest of the ratings do well officailly

[BB IS ALIVE]

If it keeps that up the series could average 2.8 if we're lucky :dance:

[Red Moon]

I think one of the main problem this year is it seems everynight its clashing with another big show. During the summer when its normally on theres hardly anything to watch apart from BB. Come Autumn loads of shows come back on air.

That is a very valid point and one that has to be taken into account both by the channel and by us when we are talking about the ratings. It easy to forget there is loads more to watch and follow than BB at the moment.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

About what i expected.C5 can expect more ratings like these in the coming weeks if they dont change the way they edit and give info out about the show

[CharlieO]

Clear that Tara's departure effects it.

[BB IS ALIVE]

oh god, does'nt give much hope of a final over 3m..... :bawling:

[Callum]

Wow, very bad.

[Patrick]

It's obviously because of the silly time Channel 5 put it in.

Why they let some silly new little game show [Red or Black] take over the schedule and make them chance their time is ridiculous, they should know that Big Brother is the MAIN game show, it's the one and only - and now it's their own fault that the ratings were a fail last night.

I knew it would happen.

[Jake.]

Will pick back up tonight

[Patrick]

^ What he said.

It's crazy aswell, how only 1.5 Million lucky people witnessed Amy and Lucien, Jedward's triple bed, the housemates being vajazzaled or of course Bobby's Diary Room Pose.

A fantastic HL show - went to waste.

[Maia]

I feel like crying.

[RichardG]

Be prepared to be very very dissapoined.

Last nights hughlights drew 1.5m (7.6%) last night, series low

I'm hardly shocked, it was up against The Jonathon Ross Show, The Xtra Factor AND it was a saturday. Tonights might not be so good either because C4 always show a film at 9pm Sunday. I don't believe it's anything to do with the editing or - dare I mention it - LIVE FEED! I think Monday-Friday's shows are where they will get the most viewers.

['Conor]

tis cause Tara left people switched off like moi ;)

[happybbfan]

No more excuses please whatever the time the highlights show is on if people want to watch it they will.Lets face facts this CBB has not been the must see one that even last year was on C4.
live feed may be a factor but if the casual viewer isnt even bothered and thats who c5 care about atm,its looking very grim for BB12

I'd say the majority of the viewers this year ARE casual viewers, who will watch the show when it's on but if something they want to watch more is on another channel (Jonathan Ross/Xtra Factor) they will watch that instead. It's no secret that this years CBB is no where near as good ratings wise as the prvious ones there's been, and that BB12 won't be getting the ratings that CBB has been getting. I doubt tonights show will get amazing ratings either, but I believe that, as usual, it will stay at around 2m next week (hopefully a bit more for the final, not sure about launch though because that hasn't really been getting any promotion). Let's just hope that the weekdays for BB12 can remain at around 2m! ;)

[JohnnyBB]

for some funny reason i can see weekend shows being axed for the public series :bawling:

[Jordan.]

pmsl!

[Roy Mars III]

People were watching Jonathan Ross.

7 million viewers.

[Jordan.]

7 million viewers.

Didn't deserve half of that, it was complete garbage.

[Matt]

Didn't deserve half of that, it was complete garbage.

I agree, it was dire :sleep:

Also worth mentioning Million Pound Drop won round 2 of the C4 vs. C5 battle with 1.85million viewers (8.6%) and a further 176,000 on +1

[Maia]

*cries*

[DigitalSid]

1.61m corrected

[BB IS ALIVE]

Red or black will lose viewers hopefully, when people realise it's trash presented by two anoying tw*ts. :bored:

[yourmn]

Great rating for last night :amazed: Maybe the 9pm slot does do it some good.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Atleast with officials it rapes BB10's ratings

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Great ratings it seems :dance:

[*mazedsalv**]

2.3m for last night. Highest Monday rating just edging the first Monday. The share was 12.2%, which is higher than usual than what the shares have gotten in the 10pm slot.

[BB IS ALIVE]

good news, I hope this week follows a similar patern to week1 :spin:

[armand.kay]

Cam someone explane the difreence between Overnights and Officials??

[Jake.]

Overnight are the ones that were watched on the night. Officials take recordings and on demand into account along with repeats

[armand.kay]

Davina didn't watch any of CBB but will be watching some of BB.

[billy123]

3.0 for the final according to http://twitter.com/#!/AnnaPointer/status/112083356086304768
The lowest amount of viewers for a final in the the history of the show but im sure someone can twiddle and find a positive out of that. :(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Paddy Doherty's victory in the Celebrity Big Brother live final proved a ratings winner for Channel 5 on Thursday evening, the latest audience data has shown.

The two-hour Celebrity Big Brother final averaged 3.01m (14.3%) for Channel 5 from 9pm, as the Gypsy Weddings star was voted the winner ahead of Kerry Katona.

The show peaked at 3.44m (17.6%) in the 15 minutes after 10.15pm, and spinoff Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side entertained 1m (10.1%) on Channel 5 from 11pm.

1 million for BBBOTS!!!! LOL

[Jordan.]

Time for the ratings disaster to start now? Can't see it keeping up with CBB figures.

[Jake.]

It had a high percentage against its competition i suppose

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Channel 5 began broadcasting the programme last month after seven series on Channel 4 - first launching in 2001. However the series as a whole has given a boost to C5's ratings



They really need to do their research lol

[Jake.]

Thonk they mean celeb bb

[Saph]

1 million for bbots :o wow

[georgehudson]

Series average rating??? :conf:

[Jordan.]

Series average rating??? :conf:

2.5M unofficial, that'll probably raise to atleast 2.9M in the officials which is the same as BB11 but will be the worst rated CBB.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Shouldnt we have a new thread for the CBB9 ratings. This is confusing.
