***The official BB12 ratings thread***

[Jordan.]

Do all the quoted figures include the mid-afternoon re-run ??

I usually Watch that one as the evening slot has program clashes .

Nope these are just the overnight figures

[Omah]

Officials on wikipedia now (not sure if true but have a look)

They seem accurate enough - average 1.5m/8.5% - not yet derisory, but not impressive either - presumably the demographic profile of the audience will keep sponsor and advertisers interested .....

[happybbfan]

Big Brother 1.3m (7.6%) in the 10pm hour, and Big Brother's Bit On The Side 198k (2.3%) on 5* from 11pm

[Jarrod]

Usually the over night ratings are higher than the Officials. I Hope anyway


LOWER. Sorry xD

[BB IS ALIVE]

Usually the over night ratings are higher than the Officials. I Hope anyway

Im pretty sure its the other way around

[RichardG]

How is that even possible? :tongue:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Are you typing through a mirror?

[happybbfan]

Big Brother entertained 1.29m (8.3%) from 10pm and spinoff Big Brother's Bit On The Side had 397k (4.9%) from 11pm
Celebrity Juice amused 1.3m (7.1%) from 10pm and 163k (1.6%) on timeshift.

[BB IS ALIVE]

I reall hope tingihts eviction breaks 1.5

[Black Dagger]

I reall hope tingihts eviction breaks 1.5

I don't think it is special enough to... I doubt people care that much for Aden or Heaven... plus it has major competition with Strictly, MPD and Idiot Abroad.

I'm going with 1.3 and 1.1

[Jarrod]

Im pretty sure its the other way around

How is that even possible? :tongue:

The CBB ratings for the Overnights were lower than the Officials. Overnights are just a rough idea.

They're not higher by much but just to give you a idea of what i mean..

CBB Launch:
Overnights - 5.1m
Officials - 5.3m

First Saturday highlights
Overnights - 2.7m
Official - 3.2m

[Jake.]

Anyone know what it got last night?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.26 million for the eviction, 1.06 million for the eviction interview

DIRE RATINGS!

The interview could have easily fell below 1 million.

Oh well its the public that is missing out. This is a great series.

[Jake.]

Exactly, its a real shame

[Patrick]

If they bring back live feed, have it in the summer, and take it back to basics, it will do better.

Oh yeah because BB4 was a hit.

I agree with the first two points though - I still maintain the reason it's failed is because of CBB launching first, and people are simply comparing it to CBB and turned off.

Dire indeed ..... :eek:

[MTVN]

Very strange to have the eviction show getting less viewers than the normal HL's

[iRyan]

Very strange to have the eviction show getting less viewers than the normal HL's

Yeah, it's very weird :conf:

I can only assume that because it's a Friday, and everyone went out. Since in the summer people can go out to party any day of the week, but in the Fall those who have school and work usually only can go out on a Friday or Saturday right?

I'm getting worried now though. They need new housemates or a twist or something.

[billy123]

Saturday night 21:30- Big Brother: 1.0m ( 4.8%)

[Jake.]

So it literally got a million :D

[Omah]

I'm going with 1.3 and 1.1

Very close :

1.26 million for the eviction, 1.06 million for the eviction interview

[Iceman]

Elsewhere, Big Brother dipped to 971k (4.8%) on Channel 5 at 9.30pm, while 5*'s Bit on the Side fetched 144k (1%).


Why are they even bothering with BOTS anymore? Give us an hour live feed and let Emma put her feet up.

[joeysteele]

Well,one saturday it went to 900,000 so its stayed again around the million mark for saturday this week.

It still isn't at the 700,000 or 800,000 that was thought could happen. I agree with Eoin though, as to BBOTS,particularly at weekends but also there are the repeats every day of the highlights at around noon on chnnel 5 daily, and then again at 4 or 5 pm on 5* too, that means 3 hours every day excluding the bbbots show that is used for the 50 minutes of BB highlights, that at least could be 2 more hours a day of more footage.

[Omah]

The doomwatchers who said BB could be down to 700,000 to 800,000 at weekends haven't seen that materialise as yet.


I predict that will happen Saturday 1st October ..... ;)

1.3m (4.9%)

[MTVN]

Glad it's pretty comfortably back above a million, thought last nights HL's were pretty good

[joeysteele]

That was a fairly good figure for Sunday if its right.

[Black Dagger]

It's obviously sticking at 1.3 during the weekly shows... and poorly on a Saturday.

I think next year, ratings could possibly improve if C5 pull their finger out and Endemol help.

Why do you allways talk about next years figures?

You talk like they are testing the water this year or using this comeback show to see what works and what doesnt. This is not the case. It really is make or break with this series.

[Jake.]

I wouldnt call it make or break, after all they have next year under contract. Of coarse the ratings matter, but if marketed correctly and if a good celeb series takes place in January, then viewing figures could increase for BB13

They still have next years show under contract as well so I wouldn't really say this year is 'make or break', even if this series does horrible, they paid £80m for the two year contact so I can't imagine they would cancel it. Then again I don't agree with others who say this is just a test series.

Im not talking about it getting cancelled when i say make or break. I mean now its the time to get the new viewers interested otherwise i cant see them returning.

The only way is down imo.

Yeah, 2 million viewers have already voted with their RCs - they didn't like what they were offered and they won't be coming back next year .....

There's rumours everywhere that the contract is a 5 Year Deal anyway - instead of the 2 Year one for BB13 - that we initially thought.

I agree with you more than it may seem overall, this is a great post on the subject by you.

I don't see this as a test series as such,I do see it as a test series as to what they could do without or how much is likely needed to make it a success.
I feel they set CBB up the same way as they were going to for BB itself, they largely seemed to get away with live feed and extra footage with CBB so BB got the same format.

Clearly figures have fallen,they are though still on or slightly above what lots of people were saying the would be as the norm.
Not good but still a base to build on.
So they know from this test this year what is likely needed to make it a bigger success next year.

CBB did good this year, it will be first on again next year, the audience hopefully back again for that, they can then make the changes they will then know what may be needed to ensure greater viewing figures for the main BB next year.

I still have high hopes for BB on channel 5, of course if they dismiss again the live feed and/or more footage argument then things are unlikely to improve.
Somehow I think live feed in some form will be the main element introduced again to BB next year though.I really hope they do that.

According to DS.

22:00- Big Brother: 1.3m (7.5%)

not good ratings for BB when shows that cost a fraction of BB are beating them in the ratings
Rude Tube C4 1.5m (7.3%)
Never Mind the Buzzcocks 1.4m (7.3%)

[joeysteele]

daniel-lewis-1985, I am surprised at you to say the least, I respect all you say as to BB and never ridicule it even when you rant at times.I also in fact think you should have something to do with BB because your ideas for it to be a great success could work.

Don't laugh at comments you choose to take out of context,read them fully.
I said I didn't see it as a test series meaning overall, I pointed out I felt it was a test series only in that they tried it by seeing what could be done without as to,for example live feed or more footage etc. That does not indicate that it is a test series over the whole format.

Perhaps I should have said trying it out without live feed,that may have been better terminology to use never the less they have 'tried it' without or 'tested' it without any live feed this year, that cannot be denied.
They must also know from this 'test' or trying out' the series without one element of it in place(live feed) that it hasn't been a big success,so my point is that from this 'test' or 'trying out' as to that, they know one major element that could make it a far greater success next year if it was restored to BB.
I did think even you would agree with that point actually rather than set out to joke or ridicule.

If you can only choose to ridicule others posts by taking one bit out of total context then please do so with others posts, I personally do not ridicule yours, in fact I agree with you most of the time but I would prefer it if you cannot be constructive that you don't respond to mine when all you can do is ridicule.

You have done it a few times now and I am requesting you stop doing so, please. Thank you.

Ford said that he expected a slight drop from CBB to normal BB in ratings
but i dont think he expected quite such a drop
if i recall C5 were hoping and expecting 2m a night
even the officials wont meet that target
not sure the sponsor or some of the advertisers will be too pleased either

Good to see it hasn't gone bellow the million mark yet. Interesting that alot of the evictions are on par with the week day ratings, which could mean that the people who are watching Big Brother, are watching consistently. Still, i really do think that starting this series straight after CBB was a huge mistake, they barely advertised it. From what i saw they just showed a clip after the main shows 1 week before the launch. I think they just assumed that people would tune in because its "Big Brother". Shame that people have been missing out on such an amazing series.

Big Brother continued on Channel 5 with 1.33m (7.6%)

Highest rated eviction since Tashies in the first week :D

[Novo]

Hopefully another 5 or more housemates are up this week it works out so much better with the vote to save and people clearly enjoy evictions more when there is more then 2 housemates up

[MTVN]

Yeah that was the most exciting eviction this series, the head to head ones aren't normally as interesting and tend to be more predictable

[Omah]

Highest rated eviction since Tashies in the first week :D

Not really :

23 September

1.63/1.31

The numbers are remaining more or less static (and not very impressive)

30 September

1.41/1.23

Almost identical to the daily average

But aren't they officials you have just posted? Because you can't compare officials to last nights ratings, not yet anyways

It is a bit strange for it to get the best ratings in ages one night and then to get the lowest ratings of the series the next, C4 were showing Die Hard 2 which did quite well and got them more ratings than it would normally have done I suppose

these ratings reflect what happens when the show is concentrated on just casual viewers of a certain age group imo

it was on at a stupid time aswell, so that it did'nt clash with x factor, which was on later so that it did'nt clash with stricly come dancing. they should just put it on at 9 and hope for the best I think!

It's obviously a "typographical error" ..... ;)

The nickname The Grauniad for the paper originated with the satirical magazine Private Eye. This anagram played on The Guardian's reputation for frequent typographical errors, such as misspelling its own name as The Gaurdian. The domain grauniad.co.uk is registered to the paper.

The very first issue of the newspaper contained a number of errors, perhaps the most notable being a notification that there would soon be some goods sold at atction instead of auction.

I dont know where to go with that reply as i was refferng to Audience share versus viewing figures.
The audience figures i referred to were relatively high despite the low audience share which supports that even though a lot more people were watching tv at the time a bigger share of them werent tuned into big brother just the usual core audience which in turn shows that the casual viewer doesnt tend to put big brother on just because its on only the usual audience.

Last nights show was on later at night which means less people were watching tv but the same audience tuned in which equals a higher share of the audience.
