**The Official BB13 Ratings Thread**

[SSL2012]

I'll go for a 1.6 inc +1 tonight's show hasn't got too much of a threAt in the 9pm slot, undercover boss shouldn't hurt it too much and ITV are showing wwtba millionaire.

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night got 1.51m. It beat the night before by 10k and replaced it and now is the highest HL rating since Week 2.

Nice to know that it's picking up again, maybe because now the Outsiders are fighting back and not getting picked off one by one.

[Jake.]

Fantastic, is that with or without +1? I reckon the whole Ofcom thing could be helping.

[*mazedsalv**]

Fantastic, is that with or without +1? I reckon the whole Ofcom thing could be helping.

It's with +1.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's great news

[SSL2012]

Does anyone belive normal bb could ever hit around 1.8-2mil regularly per night, or not a chance?

[Jake.]

Officially, yes.

[BB IS ALIVE]

Any news?

[*mazedsalv**]

DS ratings were being slow, and still are. Tuesdays have been released...

It got 1.33m excluding +1, incl +1 would be around 1.40m for sure, which would mean it was on par with last Tuesday and up on 2 Tuesdays ago.

Last night not yet released. But it shows that 9pm does better as the last 2 9pm episodes got 1.50m and 1.51m. Last night would have been also 1.4m I feel, as will tonight.

[*mazedsalv**]

Sadly ratings have gone down. These EXCLUDE +1

Both Wednesday and last nights shows got 1.26m excl +1. Including +1 they are expected to be around 1.34m

[Jordan.]

Ratings go back up when Arron is evicted and then Shievonne sends them back down :idc:

[JohnnyBB]

Sadly ratings have gone down. These EXCLUDE +1

Both Wednesday and last nights shows got 1.26m excl +1. Including +1 they are expected to be around 1.34m

Big Brother had No Competion Last night, You Forgot To Say hotel inspector Once Again Smashed big Brother with 1.6m

Wedneday
CSI 2.09m at 9pm and Big Brother drew 1.33m (6.9%) an hour later at 10pm

[Jake.]

1.51 (7.1%) watched the first show, 1.12 (8.3%) watched her interview.

[SSL2012]

Those figures are great for hotel inspector and ncis, makes big bros look okay ay best, but with shows like Pierre white, bachelor and many others flopping badly, bb will be safe imo. 1.5mil is still very good for 5, add in officials it will fetch around 2mil. Next summer should rate better in any case, the first real break from bb for at least 6months or so, hopefully 5 will advertise it much more. I hope the current ratings are good enough.

Sound rating last night though.

[jackc1806]

1.51 (7.1%) watched the first show, 1.12 (8.3%) watched her interview.

including +1?:hugesmile:

[mkbb]

It needs a shake up those ratings are dire no matter what anyone says. Stop following a tired format and use your 'creative team' to come up with something rating pulling BB.

[JohnnyBB]

1.51 (7.1%) watched the first show, 1.12 (8.3%) watched her interview.

It Got Beat By Channel 4s MPD with 1.6M

[BB IS ALIVE]

Isn't that still the 3rd highest eviction ratings after Arron's and Chris'?

The interview is poor though, any idea what BBOTS got?

[Jake.]

870,000 (4.2%). Dire.

[JohnnyBB]

870,000 (4.2%). Dire.

Its Not Looking Great At all.

[Me. I Am Salman]

:shocked:

[Jarrod]

Will be just about 1 million with +1

[Jordan.]

:suspect: It wasn't even against anything big last night was it? Terrible.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's awful ratings

[Toxic]

I didn't even watch last night, I think people don't watch TV as much on Saturday nights - apart from The X Factor when it's on

[iRyan]

People are sick of Conor the thug

[jackc1806]

So +1?

[*mazedsalv**]

Friday's 9pm show did very well for probably the least interesting eviction of the series. Shame about last night, but it will do better tonight.

These ratings are really bad.

Cant understand why people are switching off in their droves.

[*mazedsalv**]

It was 1.25m incl +1. It's dropping. But not dropping drastically low. But it's obvious, I think this is due to Conor staying. 1.51m tuned into the eviction (and that could be excl +1), so maybe the hope he would go? The announcement was watched by 1.9m in those 10 mins, shows the audience is still there, but Conor needs to go.

[JohnnyBB]

These ratings are really bad.

[Gstar]

Please bear in mind that loads of people are watching online, remember that a lot of people in Ireland don't have channel 5 and are using other sources, even I watched it online last night as I was busy at the scheduled time.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Do official ratings factor in Demand 5?

[Jake.]

Do official ratings factor in Demand 5?

I believe so.

[DigitalSid]

Do official ratings factor in Demand 5?

No. They only factor in overnights and recordings. +1, repeats and demand 5 are separate, we add the former in ourselves afterwords. Though Channel 5 will probably add them all in themselves internally when they decide how well it's doing.

[*mazedsalv**]

BARB ratings are out (Wiki ones are fake), the BARB ratings don't show all of the +1 showings though, all we know is that Tuesday incl +1 got 1.84m and the Friday eviction got 1.86m EXCLUDING +1, so with +1 it could be at around 1.96m.

What eviction?

[*mazedsalv**]

What eviction?

Arron's.

[jackc1806]

So what are the current official and overnight series averages?

[Omah]

http://www.barb.co.uk/about/faq

What is the difference between live and consolidated BARB data?
‘Live’ data reports viewing that takes place at the time of the original broadcast.

'Consolidated’ data incorporates playback of time-shifted content within 7 days of the original broadcast. This timeshift viewing is added to the live data to produce consolidated viewing data made available 8 days after the original transmission date. Consolidated data is the 'BARB Gold Standard' used by the industry to report and trade on.

What is the BARB Gold Standard?

BARB Gold Standard data generally refers to the consolidated data which incorporates live and timeshift viewing and is the official estimate of television viewing. However, any audience measure that has been generated by applying the BARB defined calculation methodology is BARB Gold Standard data. BARB Gold Standard data is used by the industry to report and trade on.

What is VOSDAL data?
VOSDAL stands for Viewing-On-Same-Day-As-Live. VOSDAL viewing includes timeshift viewing viewed on the same day as the original broadcast. This is included in the overnight files released at 9.30am the following day. For example, if a film commences at 5.30pm and is recorded and then viewed later the same evening at 9.00pm, this viewing is captured and reported in the overnight file published the following day.

What happens if you playback programmes from PVRs like Sky+? Is this included?
Yes, non-live viewing from PVRs like Sky+ and other recording devices such as DVDRs are measured and included in the viewing figures as timeshift viewing. If a programme has been viewed on the same day as the original broadcast the viewing will be included in the overnight files as VOSDAL data (see ‘What is VOSDAL data?’), otherwise, if it has been viewed in the 7 days after the original broadcast it will be included in the consolidated data.

How many channels are BARB reported?
At present there are over 250 channels that are separately measured and reported. A comprehensive list of BARB reported channels (excluding interactive channels) can be found on the multi-channel weekly viewing summary.

Is every television channel that can be viewed in the UK measured?
Yes, every broadcast channel that can be viewed in the UK is measured but only those channels that a broadcaster requests to be measured are reported individually. All other channels are grouped together with their viewing combined and reported as ‘Other Viewing’ which contributes towards ‘Total Viewing’.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's rubbish the ratings are droppping.

[*mazedsalv**]

So what are the current official and overnight series averages?

I think official it still 1.8-1.9m.

[iRyan]

I honestly think it's because of Conor staying again, I don't think it's just a coincidence. Because it getting great ratings leading up to the eviction, and now all the sudden they've dropped.

[JohnnyBB]

fridays live feed was watched by 259k wich is up on the previous week.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Dissapointing ratings again im afraid

1.29m (5.6%) caught the latest Big Brother highlights

[Jake.]

Better than the night before I spose.

[*mazedsalv**]

By the way, you lot keep posting excl +1 figures.

Including +1 BB got 1.39m.

[BB IS ALIVE]

By the way, you lot keep posting excl +1 figures.

Including +1 BB got 1.39m.

That's better, people tend to forget that +1 can add a fair bit to the figures, aren't half of the Officials not inc +1 aswell?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Can someone post the officials so far.

Week 4 must be in by now aswell.

Im so dissapointed that the figures have fallen because in the 1st 2 weeks the official figures were almost cracking 2 million, think the series could end on a 1.5 average if it carries on like this.

[*mazedsalv**]

That's better, people tend to forget that +1 can add a fair bit to the figures, aren't half of the Officials not inc +1 aswell?

Yeah the last 2-3 weeks have all excluded +1. Incl +1, BB is still in the 1.8-1.9m barrier.

[*mazedsalv**]

Week 4 must be in by now aswell.

Im so dissapointed that the figures have fallen because in the 1st 2 weeks the official figures were almost cracking 2 million, think the series could end on a 1.5 average if it carries on like this.

Week 4 I think: (unaware if these are incl +1)
Saturday- 1.74m
Sunday- 1.83m
Monday- 1.98m
Tuesday- 1.74m
Wednesday- 1.72m
Thursday- 1.84m
Friday (Lydia evicted)- 1.92m

Week 5 officials. Only first 3 include +1, all the rest are EXCLUDING:

Saturday- 1.49m (including +1)
Sunday- 1.74m (including +1)
Monday- 1.81m (including +1)
Tuesday- 1.69m
Wednesday- 1.81m
Thursday- 1.51m
Friday (1)- 1.84m (Becky and Deana safe)
Friday (2)- 1.48m (Arron evicted)

Excluding +1 the week was the highest Week 2 average wise. With +1 counted for the rest, I predict the weekly average would be around the 1.85m mark. Week 5 boosted the entire series average after a blip, bringing it up to 1.9m again.

That Friday first show, along with Wednesday would have come painfully close to 2m. Friday's show no doubt would have rounded up to 2m

For the show to fall to an official of 1.5m, it would need to drop to around 1.2m officials, and around 900k overnights every night. Doubt it, but with the outrage anything is possible

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Oh dear!

Big Brother attracted 1.14m (6.1%) to Channel 5.

Not looking good at all.

[Me. I Am Salman]

The producers are digging their own graves.

[crumbling8]

It is clear the bullying will not be tolerated by the public.

The producers need to get rid of Connor, Caroline and Becky.

Bullying should not be allowed anywhere - Period !!

The votes should not take place this week as nominations were manipulated by the BULLIES....

[In the Drunk Tank]

Conor keeping the ratings above a million

[The_Big_Send_Off]

To be honest I'm love big brother and even I am feeling uncomfortable watching it! Every night it is just bitching or arguments! So people are abviously going to be switching oFf, even I close to not tuneing in tbh

[*mazedsalv**]

I think with +1 it added 80k bringing it to 1.22m.

It's obvious people are boycotting now.

[Raph]

:(

[Black Dagger]

It's what the series deserves now.

Like people really want to watch Becky/Lushleigh/Conor

[billy123]

It was inevitable it is a horrendous effort bb4 looks like a diamond compared to this dumbed down bag of dogs vaginas.
Whether they have served up this sack of sperm up on purpose is debatable but this coupled with the ofcom brigade might just have delivered civillian bb its last rights.
C5 really have let the fans down with this muck.

[Jarrod]

Hmm. It's safe to say that the show is failing... As much as I love it, it can be boring now.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The last 3 hl shows have been dreadful. The task is cheap and tacky and the editing has done it no favours.

Its a shame because the series has been great up until then.

Maybe we need a new housemate.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's rubbish the ratings are dropping, but I'm not surprised, all the bitching & arguements is not nice to watch, even me as a massive BB fan, I'm starting to find it difficult to watch, & I never thought I would here myself say those words.

[Jack_]

The appalling run of evictees is what has led to the part demise of this series.

Chris, Lydia, Arron and even Benedict and Victoria were terrible decisions. Started off so well.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Yeah having to agree with you, that's definatly been factor as well for the dropping of ratings.

[iRyan]

It's very obvious now people are boycotting because of Conor. The drop in ratings has been very sudden and very significant. C5 need to act fast. With an Outsider going this week, things are just getting worse.

I don't think it's boring right now though, I LOVE this weeks task.

[*mazedsalv**]

Yes it may be dropping but somehow it is still getting 1.8-1.9m officials. So I think it's safe to say it will beat BB12 average of 1.6m. It will have to drop to 1m officials to get less than BB12 now.

[jackc1806]

News?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Why do Channel 5 ratings take forever to get released. Im hoping it got about 1.4 last night. That episode really could turn it around.

Seemed like BB got tough and took back control of the house.

[jackc1806]

Bb was trending worldwide last night

[Raph]

Was the best episode in a long while, so fingers crossed.

[jackc1806]

Hoping for 1.5m

[Jarrod]

Last night's episode got BB trending Worldwide. So it should be high.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Id Like To Know How much Hotel Inspector Got Last Night 1.7m?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So where the **** are the ratings? AGAIN?!

Think we could be seeing around 700,000 on Saturday.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So no ratings for Thursday or Friday?! Whats going on?

Anyway take these with a pinch of salt but heres the officials from wiki. They are probs fake coz series 5 weekly average was almost 2 million according to this. I dont understand why anyone would make up fake ratings? Whats the point?

Can anyone confirm if they are real?

2083

[Raph]

I hope yesterday's eviction did well; it was the most entertaining eviction of the series, imo. It's nice to see an interview where the housemate is cheered and liked. Moreover, it was quite an intensive shocker when Luke A stayed :)

2083The 1.1 was thursdays so its wednesdays and fridays we are waiting for.
They never seem to be great when theres a delay though.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I dont think last night would have rated well. Im guessing 1.4 million.

This weeks average is about 1.3 million i think which is going to bring the series average down considerably.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

FFS.

Where the hell are these ratings lol

Missing Wednesdays, Fridays and last nights.

[BB IS ALIVE]

I really want to know how well the Eviction did, ridiculous that two days later we've still got no idea.

[*mazedsalv**]

No ratings for any show has been out since Thursday. I think they are having trouble for any show.

[*mazedsalv**]

I dont think last night would have rated well. Im guessing 1.4 million.

I think the week average will be 1.4m (around 1.8m officially).

[*mazedsalv**]

Friday in general was a bad night for TV. A lot of shows recorded below average ratings.

For BB on Friday EXCLUDING +1
1.35m and I have to say it looks very bad... 922k for the interview. However it got a high % share because of the time. The BB +1 will be around 1.4m and 1m for the 2nd show, 120k down on Shiv's eviction.

They better wish for an insider up. Otherwise the ratings will be down still. To be honest, I think 1.4m for the 9pm show is impressive considering how bad this week has been.

The ratings for BB are no concern to Channel 5 considering the "massive" show Superstar on ITV is only getting 2.7m. I think ITV should be more worried.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

These are really poor.

Bet last nights was appauling, guessing 800,000.

I am concerned for the future of the regular series of BB.

Thinking we may just be getting cbb from now on unless theres a major boost but seeing as the olympics start soon i think the onlyway is down as far as the ratings are concerned.

I don't think the 9pm rating is that bad... around 1.45m incl +1, surprised that many people stayed tbh. Yeah, I reckon last night would have been very low. It will rise when insiders start going, but that won't happen. So we will have to get used to these ratings. But CBB, that will survive. If they got rid of BB and then just had 1 series a year for CBB and advertised it, would probably get 3m+.

1.35 is bad for an eviction, even 1.45.

Honestly cant see CBB doing that great either seeing as its coming off the back of a 10 week run of normal BB.

Reckon it will be the lowest rated CBB in history.

This series has been so good its annoying people are turning off.

Less than 1 million for an eviction interview is embaressing.

1.45m would make it average for an eviction. 4th out of 7 evictions. So just average. Next week will be the lowest rated, it's up against the Opening Ceremony. It will be sub 1m for the show (it's only on at 9pm, there is no 11pm show). 1m for the 11pm show, yeah it's a poor rating, however it was 3rd in it's slot.

I think CBB ratings are quite unpredictable. It depends if the public like the "celebs" in there. They would need a celeb headline grabber. For example, it was Tara Reid and Jedward in CBB8, Frankie in CBB9. CBB9 averaged 2.6m, I reckon CBB10 can do the same (but that would still make it the lowest). Butin general, CBB9 did better in the second half. CBB8 dropped during it's run and ended with 3.2m (a drop of 2.1m), however CBB9 started with a low 3.6m and ended with 3.4m (just a 200k drop). And Pantsgate got 3.1m. So if they get good celebrities, and it's up to CBB9 standards (which IMO is the 2nd best CBB behind CBB4)

There is? I thought they said they would only do it for three weeks, and then go back to just 1 episode, and it says just 9pm on my TV Guide. Ahh must be wrong then.

[jackc1806]

So what are the overnight and +1s for this week Monday - Friday then?

[Gstar]

What we need is a massive 'gate' or a fight night.

[BB IS ALIVE]

This Week:

Monday: 1.22 (1.4 including +1)
Tuesday: 1.1 (excluding +1)
Wednesday: 1.14 (excluding +1)
Thursday: 1.12 (excluding +1) The Hotel inspector got 1.64 including +1.
Friday: 1.35 - 922k for the interview at 11pm (excluding +1)

[David R]

Wow these ratings are terrible, I bet after the next celeb bb channel 5 will pull the plug.

[Jordan.]

Oh dear... Was BB12 doing this bad by this point?

[Me. I Am Salman]

Absolutely awful

[DanielLuis]

With the +1 ratings will increase. The latest official rating are from Week 5 and they were around 1.8 million viewers. The official running average so far is supposedly 1.94 million, much bigger than last year.

[In the Drunk Tank]

Oh dear, hopefully it can at least keep above a million for the weekday shows

[jackc1806]

Saturdays? Sundays?

[Petershaw1984]

Can anyone show a comparison of last years and this years figures

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The series average was 1.9 but this last week has dragged it down.

This point last year was averaging about 1.6 officialy.

VERY POOR RATINGS.

Make the most of BB13 because i would put money on it that this will be the last civillian series.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Plus i think the wiki ratings for this year are fake.

For some reason some loser likes to make up fake ratings, i see no purpose in this.

Double checked them with BARB, they're correct.

They're not as bad as everyone makes out. We've got to remember that Big Brother is just another show now, and it's nothing special. We knew when Channel 5 took the show over that we weren't going to get the ratings Channel 4 had back in 2008 at least.

Big Brother 11 only averaged at 3.0 million at a push. We're guaranteed another civilian series for 2013 and for 2014, it was in the deal Channel 5 signed. Endemol won't give Channel 5 Celebrity Big Brother without Big Brother. So we don't have to worry about it until Big Brother 15 in 2014.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Saturday

886k (4.4%)

[JohnnyBB]

saturday 870k
sunday 886k

everyones saying theyve git problems sky plusing is that true?

Wheres the link to that?

I have seen no proof that regular BB has to run. Its just a contract to renew the format for another 2 years which could just be CBB.

Anyway this BB's last 2 weeks have been dire so it is that bad.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

saturday 870k
sunday 886k

everyones saying theyve git problems sky plusing is that true?

Sunday got under a million?!?!?!

[jackc1806]

Saturday including +1 1,011,000

[jackc1806]

Sunday got under a million?!?!?!

Plus one was 125k on Sat so hopefully Sunday will go above 1 Mil

[jackc1806]

Sunday was actually this - Big Brother grabbed 1.24m (5.7%) as well as 155k (0.8%) on timeshift.

[jackc1806]

Sunday rounded to 1.4m inc +1. Great considering Wallander got 4.4 and Sunday Heat meant ratings were down.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Both up on last weeks weekend.

[DanielLuis]

Aint the ratings still above C5's usual ratings though?
If it stays that way and they keep making money from publicity and stuff, I dont see the reason not to have civillian's BB in the next 2 years of contract

Aint the ratings still above C5's usual ratings though?

Yep. Pretty much all the shows enter Ch5 Top 10 of the week. Normally 6 out of 7. With only NCIS higher.

[mkbb]

The ratings are unpredictable because most people dont have the time to watch the show every night for 10 weeks. Those times have gone. The ratings would be far higher if the number of HL shows per week were reduced to say 4 on set days.

Whats Fridays 11pm episode with +1?

[Omah]

What are they doing instead?

Those times have gone.

But now there are more time-shift and platform alternatives available to watch the HLs.

[iRyan]

Make the most of BB13 because i would put money on it that this will be the last civillian series.

You have a tendency to get very overdramatic. This is not the last series, C5 has already signed a contract for 2 more. Clearly they were satisfied enough with BB12's "poor" ratings to want to order two more regular series after BB13. Given the fact that this year's ratings are significantly up (minus this week) from last year, I doubt they are considering canceling it.

Sunday did well!

Finally, someone who is thinking the same as me. If last years 1.6 million is enough for them, then this is going to be more than enough! Channel 5 are keeping the civilian series, they've ordered another two series. This years average will be 1.8/1.9 which is up, and Channel 5 will be happy. If they wanted to cancel normal BB, they would have done it last year.

:worship: FINALLY some sense! Desmond wanted 2 million vieers. This will average 1.9ish, so if 1.6 was good enough, why wouldn't 1.9? Besides, CBB gets higher ratings, but costs a hell of a lot to run.

Exactly! CBB costs millions to put on and is only justified because of the higher ratings, regular BB is much cheaper to put on, although it runs for longer, they probably make more money from regular BB.

Celebrity Big Brother is going to fail after this series, they've made the wrong decision. I hate Celebrity Big Brother. Honest. January is enough. I wanted a 13 week summer of Deana.

I can't see this CBB rating high.

[Jake.]

I reckon CBB will average 2 million, if its lucky.

[Jake.]

1.1 for last night (excluding +1)

[*mazedsalv**]

1.1 for last night (excluding +1)

It was including :(

Expected though. Everything was down because of the weather last night. A lot of low rated shows this week because of that. Also BB was up against Eastenders which got just under 8m, Ab Fab which returned with almost 6m and Superstar (which has flopped though). Everything else was significantly down. Channel 4 only had 1 show over 1m. Eastenders was a live episode so I am sure that is like 7m down on last times live episode which got like 14m.

[Jarrod]

It was expected. This week is going to be a tough week for Big Brother, especially Friday. BTW Salv, I asked Channel 5 on my BB Twitter, and they've confirmed that they have changed the Friday Listings to

9pm - 10:30pm: Big Brother: Live Eviction
10:30-11pm: Live Feed
11:30- 12:15am: BBBBOTS

Ok i'm gonna say this for the final time.

Show me the article that states the regular series will 100% return because i have seen no proof, just forum members assuming that just because they renewed the contract for the format that Channel 5 have to run another 2 series of normal and CBB.

Yes they have renewed the contract but i have seen no written proof that they have to run both.

Can you please post me the article which you obviously saw with your own eyes and not just heard on a forum and then we can have this argument about me being over dramatic.

To the people saying this year will average 1.9 you are mistaken. The ratings over the last 2 weeks have put an end to that. Mondays only just scraped over a million and that was including +1.

A rating of under 1 million will not bring the whole average of the series down btw. Wait for the officials before you start jumping to conclusions. And Channel 5 have paid for the contract which gives them CBB for 2013 and 2014, and BB for 2013 and 2014. If BB12s ratings were a big enough incentive to order more regular series, why would BB13s higher ratings change their minds? Yes, its been a rough week or two, but BB13 is still rating higher than BB12.

[Marc]

Where are you getting these ratings from? :conf:

BB12 was the first BB on Channel 5 so obviously they would have another afterwards to really judge how it was performing.

People are not willing to accept the fact that the ratings the last couple of weeks have been the poorest in the history of the show.

If you honestly think that weeks of it just scraping a million wont bring down the overall average then you are mistaken.

With the olympics starting on Friday its only going to hinder ratings even more.

And yes i pooed the bed, screamed with delight then rolled around in it.

Can you please post the link that specifically says they have to run both the regular series and CBB? Ive asked a million times so people who arguing this can back up the claim but noone seems to have it. You are just assuming and going by what fm's are saying and do not have actual evidence of Channel 5 saying they have to run both series.

They have extended the contract yes but that may not mean they are obligated to run both.

So, link to your facts please :)

To people saying Channel 5 will be happy with the ratings i think you need to come down to earth a little. Since Friday without plus 1 BB was watched by under a million on Friday, Saturday and Monday. They will not be happy about that.

Post a link saying that CH5 can go back on their contract willy nilly. Its signed, BB14 and 15 is happening. And clearly 1.6 million for BB12 was enough for CH5 to get 3 more series, so a series with higher ratings will be fine in their books.

Why are you not understanding this?

POST A LINK STATING THAT CHANNEL 5 HAVE 100% CONFIRMED THEY WILL RUN THE REGULAR BB ASWELL AS CBB.

They have not confirmed they will run summer BB just that the format has been renewed so we could be seeing just CBB from now on.

How hard is that for you to understand.

You stated its fact that regular BB will return aswell so i want a link to where you read it, if not then you are purely going on word of mouth.

BB13 was, WAS, doing better than BB12 but has not been in the past 2 weeks. 3 sub 1 million episodes in 4 days will not bode well for Channel 5.

Get it?

Oh stop being rude and childish. You want a link, look it up for yourself. Who says endemol would allow two regular series to be transformed into two celebrity series just like that? Channel 5, (Im not saying this again) were happy with 1.6 to renew 3 new regular series. Even with the last week, this year is well above BB12. Get it?

No its not, the last week has been down on last years figures, what part of below 1 million viewers in 3 days dont you understand?

You dont know what you're talking about so you really shouldnt be having this discussion with me.

Who says Endemol will transorm 2 regular series to celeb one "just like that"?

They haven't even confirmed that the regular series is defo returning so thats why i asked for the link but obviously you haven't got or seen one confirming what you're saying is true.

Yes CBB is 100% confirmed for 2 more years but i haven't seen 1 official statement saying that normal BB will and neither have you.

[Jake.]

And you have no idea what you are on about either, funny how you keep on bringing up bad ratings but fail to mention high points, like Sundays 1.4 million. Up to week five, this series is officially averaging 1.92 million viewers. With week six and seven in mind, yes it may be brought down, but this series has been doing brilliant when it comes to officials. TV in general has lost viewers over the past few days due to the whether, thats a fact. Most shows have lost viewers, so stop over dramatising. And where on earth is there a document claiming that CBB but not BB is on for another two years? Yes, the past few days have been down on last years figures, but the first 5-6 weeks have been up. What part of that dont you understand?

Channel 5 can today announce that they have signed a new two-year deal with Initial, an Endemol company, for exclusive rights to broadcast Big Brother until the end of 2014.


That confirms that both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother have been renewed and are returning. Do you need any more proof? Is a link from Channel 5 not enough? Nowhere in that PR does it say only CBB has been renewed. If it was just CBB, They'd have said "Exclusive rights to broadcast Celebrity Big Brother until the end of 2014. The only changes to the contract are the extra Celebrity series. They have signed Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother. It's returning, face it.

As ive said and others on DS have also said, Channel 5 may decide to just air extra CBB's instead if the regular series keeps barley scraping a million nightly.

You're forgetting the main point. C5 signed the contract with Endemol obviously with the INTENTION of airing two more BB series. Now, given the fact that this contract was signed after BB12, obviously C5 was satisfied enough with BB12's seemingly "poor" ratings to intend to air two more. Considering BB13's ratings average is still higher than BB12, we can pretty much assume C5 is still satisfied with the ratings and has no intentions of canceling it.

Exactly BB is cheaper to run than CBB; they have also recently signed deals with Morrisons and Scwarzkopf and BB has boosted their ad revenue. BB brings in an official audience of about 1.8m every night for 70 days to a Channel that is used to half of this figure. CBB has higher ratings, granted the use of Celebrities but BB is still the main show and will be on for 2 more years ok.

I asked for evidence of Channel 5 saying flat out that BB was confirmned and CBB and you statement/link does not say that.

All you have given me are assumptions like everyone else in here.

Noone here knows if regular bb will return next year or if we will just be getting longer stints of Winter and Summer BB which for Channel 5 would guarantee ratings.

Yes the officials as reported 2 weeks ago where higher than BB12 but **** me these last 2 weeks have been terrible and are loosing out to last years overnights at the same point.

Again look up the word "fact".

You're assuming and second guessing Channel 5. not actually providing me with factual evidence. That quote from the Channel 5 statement was to vague for you to even judge what they are planning to do with our beloved summer BB.

My original post about this was coz i feared for the regular summer series returning looking at the ratings dipping below 1 million even on weeknights now.

Please see DS aswell coz people there seem to actually understand what im talking about there.

If this is the case and i think it is then we are in danger of Channel 5 just running CBB from now on.

Clearly, they wouldn't have signed the contract if they weren't satisfied with BB12's ratings and they intended to air two more years of Big Brother (notice how they say Big Brother, and not Celebrity Big Brother). Given this information, it's pretty clear that Big Brother is in no danger of being axed, which is the main point I was trying to make. You said Big Brother was in danger of being axed, and I said it wasn't. I have backed it up with factual evidence why I think that, what more do you want? The press release is as close to confirmation that BB will be on for 2 more years as you can get. C5 would not have signed the contract if they did not intend to air 2 more years of Big Brother. Period. End of. They claimed the rights to airing it so no other channel could, because they WANT to air it.

And again, i'm re-iterating the fact that BB13's ratings average is STILL higher than BB12's.

But you dont know, you're just saying its "likely" Big Brothers main show will come back so its not fact and neither is it confirmed in that Channel 5 statement. so all these objections being thrown at me just for even contemplating that the regular show may be cancelled dut to the ratings decline are not very upstanding since you know nothing of the future of the main show (that article doesnt say anywhere about the main show, it just says the rights to air big brother).

Unless you work at Channel 5 then we will have to wait till next summer to find out but im betting it wont return unless we have a massive ratings boost now.

Fingers crossed.

Finally, yes Big Brother has been renewed that is a fact and is great :)

But cant people on here not centemplate that the channel may axe regular BB seeing as its now floppin in the ratings nightly. No article anyone has shown me talks about both the series 100% returning till 2014, just the rights to air the BB format.

Just to confirm in not saying Big Brother as a show is in danger of being cancelled but the main summer series is in danger of being dropped to make way for a longer run of 2 CBB's a year.

Alot of people on DS are discussing this and it was brought up there once the ratings decline was no more undoubtable and the members on DS can actually consider this as a possible option, on here seems like people are just scanning my posts quickly, picking out statements and not reading the full story then attacking..

And AGAIN let me reitterate that i have agreed BB officials are currently beatin BB12 but that was 2 weeks ago and we are still waiting for officials to see how its holding up now, my guess is its around 1.6/7 now down from 1.9 but this is the lowest rated week since its began, overnights for the past 2 weeks have been down on BB12.

2 weeks of ratings clinging to the 1.2 mark and weekly shows and evictions getting under 1 million is going to drag this official average down.

Can you not understand this is my opinion and im here to discuss the future of the regular series and have then been bombarded with links "proving" both shows are returning when in actual fact no links have said anything about both shows coming back, Channel 5 can decide to run CBB from now on instead but you people who have posted the links fail to ackowledge this and the facts you are presenting to me is just you doing exactly what im doing and second guessing.

Thing is im honest that this is my opinion of what i think may happen and you're addament that you are 100% in the right and know that Channel 5 will definatley bring back both shows.

Guess you sit in on board meetings at the Channel 5 offices.

Today, 11:42 livefeed24/7now

last night - Big Brother (1.14m/6.2%)
no figure for + 1 but probably under 100k

[jackc1806]

S'ok I guess

[SSL2012]

BB's been renewed... fact!!! Any evidence to prove bb won't return? Whats that? A scaremonger...thought so

Ratings have gone down horribly, I hope the next series endemol and 5 get it right.

Yes BB is coming back ive said that!

Wether Channel 5 decide to air more CBB instead of the regular one though is yet to be seen.

Looking at the ratings over the last 2 weeks i wouldnt be suprised.

Members on DS seem to feel the same way.

Wish you would read through my posts so you can actually understand what i mean. I know BB has been renewed. Stop skimming my posts and actually read them.

The officials are what count. Many more people would have recorded due to the summer heat.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The officials are what count. Many more people would have recorded due to the summer heat.

Cant see officials adding an insane ammount though.

Im really interested to see them.

Anyone got the latest officials from last week?

[Gstar]

What do the officials actually cover?

-Sorry if this has been asked a million times before-

[*mazedsalv**]

The officials have been adding around 400k so it does make a big difference for BB. The officials have not been shown for Ch5 which sucks this week. But it's still around 200k above BB12.

Tomorrow night, it will suffer badly. I repeat to all those... it will DO BADLY. So when we get awful ratings for Friday, don't act like BB is over. Everything will fail so hard on at 9pm tomorrow. The Olympics opening will attract an average of over 20m, possibly a peak of 25m in my opinion. BB will get less than half a million.

800k, like with the England match? Or no chance?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Noones gonna be watching Friday.

Feel sorry for the poor housemate.

[Gstar]

If it's Luke S, Ashleigh, Caroline or Conor that goes then I'm glad not much people will be watching, who would wanna see them :P

There's gonna be a lot of online catchup this weekend though

[*mazedsalv**]

BB averaged 1.25m last night excluding +1, including +1 it would have been around 1.33m I would guess. Highest rated show since Sunday. It was only around 400k lower than ITV's Quiz show which flopped. BB was up against the GB footie which peaked at 6.2m. Not bad considering everything got a low rating.

Tonight it will be very low but promising that last night was the highest of the week, just a shame tonight will be the lowest ever rating.

[Jake.]

Just letting you know, the opening ceromony averaged 23.02 Million with an 82.7% share, and peaked at 26.899 million. So be prepared.

[jackc1806]

82.7?? I hope BB beats ITV so much

Oh lord, BB has no chance :joker:

[Jake.]

Also, it looks like Channel 5 beat CH4 and BBC 2 at 10PM, and wasnt too far off matching ITV1. I reckon the plus 1 figures will be impressive.

Some did, yes. I got back from work at quater to eleven, so I watched BB recorded as I had already missed too much of the opening ceremoney and want to watch it in full :)

Big Brother peaked at 800k according to The Sun journalist Leigh Holmwood: https://twitter.com/leighholmwood/status/229139168582832128

If my maths skills are correct, Big Brother averaged 600,000 in its slot. Now we need the plus 1 figures.

[jackc1806]

Big Brother falling to an all-time low of 614k (1.9%) on Channel 5 between 9pm and 10.30pm. The Bachelor followed with 242k (0.9%).

Meanwhile, The Million Pound Drop mustered 272k (3.1%) on Channel 4

[jackc1806]

1.3%*

[Jake.]

Na its 1.9% :)

[jackc1806]

Na its 1.9% :)

Should have made myself clear, 1.3 for MPD. In my post it said 3.1% whoch was wrong. +1 for BB?

[Jake.]

Sorry, my bad. Yeah I thought the 3.1 didnt make sense, at least BB beat BBC2 and CH4, its the best of a bad situation. And no idea yet, Im hoping for 200,000 plus.

[Matt]

According to Broadcast Big Brother had 43,000 on +1, so it totalled 657,000

Not bad at all really considering the circumstances :)

I would guess above 1million, maybe even up to the usual?

[jackc1806]

Just a question, would it have got 657k on C4?

[Jake.]

I would guess above 1million, maybe even up to the usual?

Without a doubt. I reckon it will go up to 1.2 million, considering the amount that would have recorded it or will watch it on demand.

[iRyan]

Here it says 800,000 million

http://www.entertainmentwise.com/news/82935/Caroline-Wharrams-Big-Brother-Eviction-Struggles-Against-Olympics-Opening-Ceremony

But the Olympics got 27 million views, so BB did good considering the circumstances.

[Matt]

Just a question, would it have got 657k on C4?

Probably would have got slightly more on C4 - maybe even just over the million if it was lucky

800,000 was the peak audience

[*mazedsalv**]

647k is not bad at all, around 200k higher than I expected.

Million Pound Drop got 272K, nearly beat that by 3x :eek: BB beta everything on Channel 4 from 7pm onwards and beat most of what was on BBC2 and almost ITV.

Olympics peaked at 27m and almost 90% share :eek:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Who gives a **** about the peak i want the actual ratings lol ;)

The shares look promising at least.

As long as it beats BBC2 and Channel 4 i'll be happy.

[*mazedsalv**]

Just a question, would it have got 657k on C4?

Possibly but considering MPD has beaten BB for weeks now, BB beat MPD last night by triple. Shows that BB has obviously a more dedicated fan base.

[*mazedsalv**]

[*mazedsalv**]

The +1 was only 42k or something and the 657K includes +1. +1 wouldn't have been over 50k for anything because the Olympics didn't end until way past midnight.

One thing, the Olympics peak was the highest ever TV rating since Princess Diana's funeral in 1997.

According to Twitter, everyone is catching up on BB now, it would have time shifted around 1m I reckon!

I wish Demand5 would show how many viewers an episode gets in the way youtube does and i wish they would release the viewing figures for the daytime repeats.

Its the only way we could know what it truly got.

What do you think the final officials will be? Due to the last coupla weeks low ratings and now this i think its going to slip below BB12's.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Surely week 6's officials should have been released by now?

Can you post the officials so far coz i dont trust wiki.

I doubt last night will have a effect for the rest of the series. It's too close to the final to have people give up.

And the officials for Week 6 were never released. BARB updated but Channel 5 didn't and neither did a lot of multichannels. We will find out all the officials when it's finished.

[Matt]

Possibly but considering MPD has beaten BB for weeks now, BB beat MPD last night by triple. Shows that BB has obviously a more dedicated fan base.

Absolutely and that's definitely something Channel 5 will be glad to have. I can't imagine any other C5 show getting that amount of viewers against such tough competition - they surely wouldn't have finished in third place without BB, even The Hotel Inspector and CSI would have struggled.

Just a shame Channel 5 doesn't reward that dedicated fan base with a live feed ;)

[jackc1806]

What did BOTS and LFTH get?

[Black Dagger]

I think 600,000 is very good considering you're going up against the opening of the biggest event of 2012... so I'm happy enough with that, and I bet most have catched up online or with it being recorded anyway, so I'm not overly bothered.

[*mazedsalv**]

BB was the 3rd highest rated show last night :eek: 2nd excluding the Olympics.

1. Vera
2. Big Brother

[Jake.]

I never understand people laughing at the show when it suffers in the ratings :confused:

Im not laughing at it. And BB was the 3rd highest rated show last night, it was up against something with an 80+% share, what was you expecting?

[Black Dagger]

Gardener's World being the highest rated show :laugh:

Good show it is that. :pipe:

Leon was telling me all about it, he can't get enough.

[DigitalSid]

It hardly suffered, MPD suffered, BB held up as well as pretty much any non-soap could.

Happy with last nights ratings, it did far better than I expected.

So Big Brother grabbed 1 Million viewers and a 4.7% share?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So it got 1 million last night?

[Jake.]

Yup, it was against the 6.3 million (31.2%share) who watched the Olympics, The Women on CH4 which took 1.6 million (8.3%), Midsomer Murders which grabbed 2.3 million (10.7%) and Nine Symphonies Which Changed the World which was viewed by 400,000 with a 2.3% share. 1 million is respectable for a Saturday night, its the highest in a while isnt it?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Glad it got a million.

Lets hope the coming weeks get a boost and keep that series average up now.

[Jake.]

I really think that with the White Room twist and a double on Friday, this week will do better than the last.

[Jake.]

Im glad it held up with the Olympics on. Oh, and thats excluding +1

[*mazedsalv**]

That's good. 1m is the highest in 3 weeks for a Saturday, unsure it's with or without +1.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So Saturday actually got 925k (4.3%) no sign of plus 1.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ok remember when i was saying that the low figures would kill the series average and other members were saying it would hardly affect it as BB13 is is averaging 1.9 million?

Take a look at these figures.

Week 6 averaged: 1.32

Week 7 averaged: 1.19

Week 8 is unofficially averaging 1.0

Running average for the series: 1.59

Dont take these as 100% accurate but it seems about right.

[Jake.]

That week 8 isnt official though, so it should go back up a little bit.

[Jake.]

1.14 (5%) and 159,000 (0.8%) on +1
