BB won't be launching on the same night as the CBB finale, as it's een confirmed they need to change the gym into the bathroom before the launch.

Anyway my ratings are:

CBB:
Launch - 4.2M
Average - 3.5M
Final - 3.9M

BB:
Launch - 3M
Average - 2.3M
Final - 2.5M

These ratings are if the rumored celebs are in the house, for example, Amy Childs, Tinie Tempah ect.
If Charlie Sheen is on the show add 2M to each of the CBB ratings.

[ILoveTRW]

I love how we need to keep specifying its on five, so that when the ratings average is 1.1m we can say, oh it did really well.

[Patrick]

People are still going to tune in though on Launch Night to see Charlie Sheen and then they'll see he's not there and turn off for good.

[Patrick]

I wish people would quit saying 'Five' it's:

CH5, C5, 5, Channel 5.

Five reminds me of that old ugly hideous channel that no one liked, you know - the one that claimed they were picking up BB and everyone laughed and thought they would kill it?

This!

[*mazedsalv**]

I think after all the promotion, I would like to add another 500k to my prediction, so 4.3m. I actually think it could get that.

It's A level night so I'm sure lots will either:
a) Watch it before they go out, I normally go out at 10:30pm and thatt's when it ends.
b) Record it, so the officials will be quite a bit higher than the overnights.

IMO, it is capable of getting 4m+, don't see why not. But it will probably get around 3m.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Launch 4m
Average 2.5
Finale 4M

[CharlieO]

I am going to give high numbers even though I doubt it will happen.

CBB:
Launch: 5m

Final: 3.8m

Yes it does :)

[Pronshi]

http://t.co/c4Ph6MD

Im guessing it will be high due to rumours and big names like Jedward and Amy/Kerry who do have large cult fan base (oxymoron) lol

So what do we think?
Channel 5 rating record is a football match which got 5.6 Million

For the 1st time in a few years
All my friends where talking about it on facebook :)
And twitter had at least 3 things related to CBB trending at a time
which is a good note :)

[Jords]

It got more than 5.6M? :o :o

[joeysteele]

I'd be happy with 2 million but I think it will exceed that and deservedly so.

[Conor]

I think 3.6 mill roughly.

EDIT- OMG another Belfast member! We are plaguing this place :D

[Pronshi]

I'd be happy with 2 million but I think it will exceed that and deservedly so.

i agree
i know people didnt like it but i gave it a 9/10
it was really good.
If it had livefeed i would give it 10/10

Some may disagree but i think we will get some sort of livefeed soon or for the normal series

[Joelle.]

More than 5.6million? I would be very shocked. :shocked:

[DigitalSid]

They're guessing.

[Pronshi]

I think 3.6 mill roughly.

EDIT- OMG another Belfast member! We are plaguing this place :D

lol, i used to use this site to look at what people thought but then i decided to sign up in may :)
lol i think at least 4 million prob 3.9-4.5 (will drop tonight)

[CharlieO]

Shocking but with all the BS coming from channel 5 its somewhat expected. The thing is I'm sure there will be far less tomorrow and so on when people realise it was all lies.

[Tony1111]

I think 3.6 mill roughly.

EDIT- OMG another Belfast member! We are plaguing this place :D

Too right Lawd! :p

[Mystic Mock]

I think the debut numbers will be 2 million.

[Pronshi]

Too right Lawd! :p

lmao

[Pronshi]

i know fact the ratings will be no higher than 4 million
and if are will be 1/3 by tomorrow

[Conor]

Too right Lawd! :p

What ye tawking bout meight?

[Patrick]

I agree with OP - Everyone on Facebook was talking about it tonight.

I mean even just people from Belfast, not my English/TiBB Pals - just like everyone was all updating about people going in.

Some of them not even saying Big Brother like you know how during BB6 or something people would be like:

'Oh I hate that wanker Maxwell! Can't believe what he said to Derek? OMG'

And then in BB8 it'd be:

'Oh I hate that wanker Ziggy from Big Brother, did anyone else see what he just said to Caorle on BB there?'


Can you see the difference?

There was a very universal feeling of 'THIS IS AN EVENT' like 'EVERYONE IS WATCHING THIS SH*T TONIGHT!' and we haven't had that since the BB7 Finale.

It was amazing and I hope it stays like this for a long time.

[Patrick]

I think 3.6 mill roughly.

EDIT- OMG another Belfast member! We are plaguing this place :D

We are indeed pal - just seen another one aswell this morning.

About 5 of us now :amazed:

Will then dip by 400 thousand for tomorrow night and the standard shows will usually get 1.8 million

Have last night's ratings been revealed?

[SimBrotherNetwork]

I think they would have been 6 million or maybe even 7 myself, and the official viewing numbers has not come out yet

[Tony1111]

At the most I think 3-4 million. I'd say it deserved more though it was a very energetic launch. The only thing that bugged me was that there was no house tour. :(

[SimBrotherNetwork]

Yeah that bugged me 2, very odd, was not expecting that

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Argh im nervous about the ratings!!

HURRY UP!!!

[*mazedsalv**]

Well 9 out of 10 trending topics were CBB related last night! Hopefully a good sign!

It was dreadful, too similar to recent BBBM's. What was with the dog jizzing all over the crowd? :conf:

Fantastic ratings for Channel 5 last night though, hopefully they can stay relatively high, preferably over the 2m mark at least.

Torchwood got 3.4M down about 1M, BB won the timeslot.

[Omah]

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-14587190

The opening night of Channel 5's Celebrity Big Brother attracted 5.1m viewers, according to unofficial overnight figures.

But the show failed to top the network's record audience of 5.6m for an England vs Albania World Cup qualifier in 2001.

Last year 5.8m people tuned in for the series launch on Channel 4.

[Firewire]

Can you change the title to say 'Channel 5' instead of 'Five'? :p

[Krista35]

I think they would have been 6 million or maybe even 7 myself, and the official viewing numbers has not come out yet

Hi BB fans. I too am supporting Kerry Katona. I think Amy might have blown it by being such a poseur when she went in last night. I predict Mr Pap to quit first!!

What do people think of Brians hosting skills?? A bit wooden if you ask me and very obviously reading from an autocue.....


Edited to add: Oops was meant to quote the person supporting KK and not the above.....

[Jords]

Fantastic ratings! Hopefully they can hold onto them!

[SillyTilly]

Last nights show got 3.2m according to dsrealitybites on twitter

[AJ.]

Not bad, can see it dropping to around 2.4 tonight after last night though.

[*mazedsalv**]

Really good because the last two summer series officially averaged 3.00m and 3.18m (BB10 and BB11), so the overnight already beats the previous two series' 1st HL show.

To be honest I do hope they fall, however that is not what made me make the statement. Its just logical they will. If they don't I will admit I was wrong though.

0.8 tonight

Im such a dork about ratings and want it to do well.

[ElProximo]

You can get a good idea by the social buzz, references and mentions in your own daily life. Its interesting how often you will 'guesstimate' by that measure and see it validated in ratings.
I'm not hearing much. The launch yes. I heard a lot of people saying they wanted to see what the new one looked like.
Then nothing really.
Comments (whether at work or friends or twitter etc) comments seem lackluster, unexcited, brief.

In fairness, there is a bit of 'wait and see' for the regular season. Maybe we will be in for a bit of a pleasant surprise?
But I see this going to that 1.2 mark someone mentioned a few posts ago.

[SillyTilly]

Last nights highlights show got 2.74m.

[Vladimir]

Hmm... not bad.

[DigitalSid]

:)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Thats the highest overnight figure in a while. It beats any BB10 or BB11 overnight.

I think CBB7 was roughly the same in overnights then jumped to just over 3 in officials

CBB8 = 2.74m 12.1%
BB11 = 1.88m 9.2%

I think the problem is 5*, It lost like 80% of its audience from the night before when it was on C5

Doesn't help that it doesn't have a consistent channel either:

Sunday - 5*
Monday - C5
Tuesday - 5*
Wednesday - 5*
Thursday - C5
Friday - C5
Saturday - 5*

Honestly wouldn't be bothered if they cut it to 30 mins and gave us more time for highlights.

The production is just ammeture and theres so many awkward silences in between jokes and clips.

They need to drop the games and make it an actual discussion show with unseen footage.

The fact it's the 'highest rating launch' since 2008 or the 'highest rating Saturday' since 2008 - proves that this is the best series.. since BB9.


I'm really nervous now as to what little BB12 will get. :sad: I bet every ***** just abandons it once Amy Childs and Jedward leave on the final night of this, and BB12 will be left swimming with like 1.4 Million viewers.

They are officials though the overnights were lower.

[Zippy]

I think the ratings will continue to drop just like they were doing on Ch4. They should have either gone for a drastic overall or waited a few years to give it a break.

As such it's just more of the same and unlikely to gain much needed new fans. Just lose old ones.

[CharlieO]

A 2 year break would have benefited this show hugely. Ratings at this stage show nothing as it could be either an alright success or actually people not liking but just giving it a bit longer to fully judge it. Ratings don't guarantee anything right now.

[iRyan]

Even if BB12 flops, C5 are still signed on for CBB9 and BB13.

[iRyan]

I don't see ratings dropping during CBB, because core Big Brother fans and Jedward/Amy/Kerry fans will still certainly be watching, but we'll see what happens with BB12. If it looks interesting enough, people will stick with it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Have a feeling tonights episode will slump in the ratings....Its not even trending on Twitter.

Great episode though so i hope its done well

[CharlieO]

This episode was better but the first half was just as bad.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im guessing 1.9 for tonights episode as its on late aswell.

Hopefully it will suprise me though and stay above 2.5 its suprised me so far

Lucian, Amy, Darryn, Planet Jedward and Al Fayed all trended though.

[CharlieO]

The second half of this episode deserved more than the any other episode this series but I doubt it will happen.

[iRyan]

If Tara keeps up this game playing, I definitely see it stirring more buzz about the show because it's something that hasn't really been seen on BBUK in a long time.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Hmmm was hoping it would go up to 3m but think it will stay around 2m from now on.

[iRyan]

Probably because of the time change and the episode before this was ****ty. I definitely think there will be an improvement in ratings with the next episode.

[Patrick]

Meh. :sad:

BB12 is gonna get hit badly now.

[iRyan]

BB12 will probably get ratings similar to BB10.

BUT - I'm going to think positive and say it has the potential to get ratings as good as BB11.

One of the two issues may need to be addressed soon should ratings fall further.

There's nothing wrong with the celebrities for God's sake - people need to realize this isn't ******ing America.

We live in a county were people like Kerry, Jedward and Amy are considered A-Lister because they're always on the tabloids and shows like Big Brother [reality shows] made them famous.

What the ****** were you all expecting?

It's a great line up for CBB.

I was hoping the ratings would be closer 3m again but thinking about before BB started on 5 we all thought that it would only get about 1.5 per episode its exceeding our expectations.

[*mazedsalv**]

Officials take into account 5 on demand and the repeats from the next day right?

Think the 10pm slot is affecting it

Normally officials are about 300k-400k up on the overnight so we are looking at around 2.6m/2,7m which is pretty much identical to what most of BB11 was getting, and around 300k higher than BB10 was getting.

However there have been days where the overnights increase by around half a million, mostly on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. I'm sure a BB11 episode timeshifted around 700k last year.

[Jordan.]

Well atleast it was slightly up on sundays rather than down.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I honestly think alot of people would have watched online or sky plused it as it was on at 10

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Takes 2 weeks to get the officials right?

[Stu]

Channel 5 should not be used as an excuse. The excellent launch ratings proved people didn't give a damn what channel it was on. Channel 5 isin't hard to find. It should be compared directly against how it done in it's final few years on Channel 4 and this drop is incredibly dissapointing. Simple as.

I'm terrified of what the main show is going to get now. The launch is just going to feel like another highlights show. I doubt another six million will tune in to see normal people go in to the show they stopped watching after a few nights.

[Firewire]

Glad it was slightly up since Sunday.

[CharlieO]

Channel 5 were very clever in advertising and lies they made to get people to watch the launch. The fact of the matter is that that plan has not very much longevity as people feel they cannot trust the channel for getting their hopes up. I doubt the BB12 launch will have nearly the same numbers as the CBB one. But if they have live feed maybe the average will go up.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

BB12 launch will get around 4 million imo people are allways curious at what freaks are going in

[Zippy]

this(though not terrified..slightly concerned maybe)

CBB gets more viewers than normal BB so this is really the best the ratings will get. And theyre slipping. I know many who, like myself, are just not gripped and in danger of drifting away.

[Valdora]

Agreed. They need a big twist or a fantastic cast that gives us something completly new.

For me that would be getting gameplayers in there and see how the public react to that style.

Previous versions managed to get Vinni Jones, Bridet Nelson among others. Tara Reid had not been in a film in 10 years.

The cast isn't that bad compared to previous years but it was the hype that ruined it. Channel 5 and Endemol continued to push rumours of big names they new they were not going to get. The public feel ripped off.

utter bollocks and your blinding ignorance bugs the crap out of me at times.

If these are A-list then what the fck are the likes of Beckham, Elton, Cowell, George Michael, Paul McCartney...or even Cheryl Cole?

they are tabloid/reality show z-listers. Some of them are barely even known to anybody outside their own family. In celeb terms they are the low class element. Celebs who haven't got a stable successful job....or just crave extra fame.

Vinnie Jones and Brigitte Nelson are not even remotely as famous as Tara Reid is. I am from America and I never even heard of Vinnie Jones until CBB. He is HARDLY famous over here. And Brigitte Nelson is a total Z-lister as well.

Vinnie is a superstar here...of football and film fame. Even Brigitte is far more well known than Tara here, albeit for low class reasons.

Of course they will, wundergay. Nobody is disputing that. However I assume the OP was talking about Ireland. The Republic. The country that lost Big Brother on television this year. Not ... you know the small bit up at the top of Ireland that everyone knows is part of Britain and has Channel 5.

He's been in huge films. But even before his film career he was a superstar footballer in the UK. TBH his film career is secondary in the UK.

Again, his status in America is irrelevant to BB UK. We dont know most of the "big stars" on US reality shows either.

2.37 million.

[iRyan]

Here are the ratings of CBB7, to compare. HOWEVER, these ratings included the +1 viewers, which usually was 200,000-300,000 viewers. So subtract that amount.

Launch Sunday: 6.2m
Monday: 3.5m
Tuesday: 3.2m
Wednesday: 3.2m
Thursday: 3.1m
Friday: 2.6m
Saturday: 2.9m

I mean, obviously CBB8's ratings are a little less, but taking into account the channel change among other things I think the ratings so far have been decent.

[iRyan]

Something I just found interesting....

26,800,000 people in England own a television.

That means nearly 10% of people in England are watching this series, and almost 20% of the people in England watched the launch. When you think about it, that's a large portion of the people.

[billy123]

2.37 million last night it seems to have settled at a level that C5 wont be unhappy at even if they aimed at a different audience but just found the same audience that are disgruntled at no live feed.
Hopefully they will realise that and cash in on a live feed online PPV which will boost their revenue.

[Novo]

The ratings have gone up the past 3 days :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

BB pulled in an average audience of 2.5m (14%) between 10pm to 11pm on Channel 5.

The show was up 0.1m from the previous night’s highlights show and was the show’s highest rated broadcast since last Saturday (2.7m).

Channel 5 had a strong evening with Extraordinary People beforehand pulling in 1.8m, helping the broadcaster beat Channel 4 once again in the primetime shares. Channel 4, who axed Big Brother last year, averaged only 1.1m in the 10pm slot, less than half of Celebrity Big Brother’s audience. Celebrity Big Brother also beat ITV’s News at Ten (1.9m) and BBC2′s airing of Coast (0.6m).

Yesterday’s CBB rating was consistent with how the first Wednesday highlights show has performed in the last two summer series, as 2.6m tuned in for the first Wednesday episode for BB11 and 2.4m in BB10. Although yesterday’s audience was down from CBB7′s 3.2m for the same episode, yesterday’s 14% share was actually higher than CBB7′s 12% share.




From ds

Celebrity Big Brother grabbed 2.5m viewers on Wednesday night, while live football scored for ITV, the latest audience data has revealed.

Celebrity Big Brother averaged 2.52m (13.8%) for Channel 5 in the 10pm hour, as Jedward were split up in the latest house task.

The reality TV show has so far proved a ratings hit for Richard Desmond's Channel 5, delivering 5.1m viewers for its launch night and then staying above 2m for each subsequent nightly highlights programme.


Overall, BBC One just took primetime with 18.9% against ITV1's 18% (+1: 0.3%). Channel 5 came in a strong third with 7.2%, followed by BBC Two with 6.6% and Channel 4 with 5.4% (+1: 1%
