**The Official BB13 Ratings Thread**

[BB IS ALIVE]

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.

Sorry but I think you have been looking at Wikipedia an the ratings on there are just not reliable, the officials for week 6 still haven't been released and the official average for week 7 is 1.4 so the running average is still around 1.75 because we don't have all the figures in yet.

[*mazedsalv**]

1.30m including +1 makes it the highest rating since Lauren's eviction (9 days ago).
At least it's going up, I reckon this week could beat the previous 3 weeks in terms of ratings.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Why do Digital Spy print it without +1?!

So annoying.

[DanielLuis]

lol, Im becoming addicted to read "so annoying" with Caroline's voice!

[Omah]

Wot, no ratings ?

[*mazedsalv**]

1.25m incl +1

Down, but not that bad. Every show bar BB on a non BBC channel are dropping a lot.

Thanks ..... :thumbs:

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night got 1.32m excluding +1 which would make it one of the highest 10pm ratings excl +1 of the series. With +1 I think it got 1.40m as someone from DS said.

[In the Drunk Tank]

1.32m last night (without +1 I think?), glad it's getting solidly above a million again

Never mind, beaten to it :laugh:

[Jake.]

Thats MUCH better :D glad ratings are back on the up, will be interesting to see what tonights twist pulls in, I'm hoping 1.5

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Thats MUCH better :D glad ratings are back on the up, will be interesting to see what tonights twist pulls in, I'm hoping 1.5

I doubt it.

Noone even seems to know about the "twist" no promotion about tonights extended show at all.

[Jake.]

True, but theres the odd few that flick through the channels and will see 'White Room', it might pull a few in.

[Jordan.]

Good to see the ratings slightly up again.

[DigitalSid]

Thats MUCH better :D glad ratings are back on the up, will be interesting to see what tonights twist pulls in, I'm hoping 1.5

It will be up against the Olympics tonight so doubt it will do any better than last night.

[jackc1806]

News? Where the ***** are they?

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Glad to see the ratings are going up a bit.

[Omah]

News? Where the ***** are they?

It seems that no-one cares anymore ..... :sad:

[Jake.]

21:00 - Big Brother: 1.18m (4.9%), +1: 133k (0.75%)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

21:00 - Big Brother: 1.18m (4.9%), +1: 133k (0.75%)

Ouch.

[Jake.]

So basically 1.3ish, not too shabby considering it had the Olympics to compete with... still dissapointing.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Another p!ss poor rating for last night.

1.19m (6.3%)

[Urban Cragou]

I think the best thing to do is to accept that the ratings this series won't be any good. True, these are piss poor ratings but still. Since its move to Channel 5 it's been at this level. As long as it can maintain its audience. At least for now.

It hasnt been at this level since moving to Channel 5.

Its been rating lower than BB12 for weeks now.

[g17m]

I really don't think channel 5 give a crap about the ratings.. They never advertise their show, other than occasionally on channel 5. They intentionally attract controversy, which thus far has only decreased the viewing audience, yet they have not done anything to resolve this. They have lots of deals with Morrisons etc. that will make them a lot of money, which is what they care about, not viewing figures

Ofcourse Channel 5 care about ratings.

Richard Desmond wouldnt have talked about them if they didnt.

Ratings are very important to a channel.

[jackc1806]

Ratings for Friday!?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ratings for Friday!?

Not in yet. GRRRR

Im predicting it reaching the dizzying heights of 1.3 million.

[jackc1806]

:joker:

[Gstar]

Daniel why are you so pessimistic?

[Pronshi]

I'm pretty sure this season will get AT LEAST 1.5 in officials.
In channel 5 books, that's not bad :)
Keep your chin Up Daniel :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Daniel why are you so pessimistic?

Because it turns me on.

[jackc1806]

Olympics didn't go under 8million last night while BB was on

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Olympics got like 11 million didnt it?

Emmerdale dropped below 5 million.

[jackc1806]

Olympics got like 11 million didnt it?

Emmerdale dropped below 5 million.

Yeah but it never dropped below 8 whilst BB was on at like 10 :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Where the **** are the ratings?

[jackc1806]

1.2 Friday 700k Saturday :/

[JohnnyBB]

1.2 Friday 700k Saturday :/

only 1.2m? for fridays twist? And 700k for saturday??

[In the Drunk Tank]

It's having to compete with the really key Olympic nights now though, Saturday was the biggest night ever for British athletics

[Locke.]

No one in their right mind would have watched Big Brother over last nights events

[billy123]

It will flop again tonight up against the mens 100m final.

[rayheartbliss]

No one in their right mind would have watched Big Brother over last nights events

agreed

[In the Drunk Tank]

Would make a lot more sense to have it at 10 surely

[Jake.]

1.0 Million last night (3.5%). Was up against the 100M which got 20 million, so hardly a suprise.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Shame its not getting the ratings its deserves but atleast we have the excuse of the Olympics so im sure Channel 5 will take that into consideration.

Wonder how the final will rate?

Would be embaressing if it got under 2 million!

[In the Drunk Tank]

1m isn't bad for a Sunday against the 100m actually

[*mazedsalv**]

1.11m for last night. Yes, it's low, but in the 9pm slot, the 2nd place after the Olympics got 2.1m, so BBC is destroying every single channel. Channel 4 struggled and only got 1 show above 1m.

Tonights, Weds and Thursday's 10pm slots will help out the ratings, last week, the 10pm ones were getting 1.2-1.3m excl +1, around 1.3-1.4m incl +1. That proves that around 300k of the audience watch the Olympics over BB, understandable.

STILL NO RATINGS FOR FRIDAY!!

Fridays got 1.2 didnt it?

Have any officials been released from week 5 onwards then?

[pepper2012]

I wonder what the final will get? I really hope for 2 million or more but I am more than aware that its probaly not likely to top 2 million on C5 ever again.

[*mazedsalv**]

Did it? No ratings were posted on DS for that.

And I think the Wiki ones are correct this time. The ratings are down but so far, BB is still up just 100k on BB12. However a lot of them is WITHOUT +1 still.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_13_(UK)

[*mazedsalv**]

1.2 Friday 700k Saturday :/

The Friday ratings have not been released for some reason yet. Everyone on Digital Spy are still demanding them.

The officials arnt as bad as expected tbf.

Its a shame though as i really hoped it would average about 1.9.

According to BARB, this would be the ratings for the rest of Week 8 and the first 2 shows of Week 9. (only +1 if stated)

Monday- 1.40 (including +1)
Tuesday- 1.41m (excluding +1)
Wednesday- 1.40m (excluding +1)
Thursday- 1.54m (excluding +1)
Friday- 1.02m (excluding +1) Up against Ceremony

Saturday- 1.2m (excluding +1)
Sunday- 1.6m (including +1)

[Urban Cragou]

Not bad, I guess.

I'm glad the eviction time shifted to 1m +.

[Patrick]

Seriously don't know why people give a ****** about The Olympics.

[Urban Cragou]

Pissed off, though, that this series can only muster a million people. Seriously, this series has had as much drama as CBB5. :love:

[Maia]

Seriously don't know why people give a ****** about The Olympics.

The Olympics are marvellous Patrick, can't beat a bit of water polo

[BB IS ALIVE]

Seriously don't know why people give a ****** about The Olympics.

Because they are brilliant and bring people together and make you want to get behind team GB and support our athletes. I thought I wouldn't be phased by them, thought I wouldn't watch at all. But they have been pretty amazing.

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night, 1.2m excluding +1. Around 1.3m incl +1

[daniel-lewis-1985]

shut up.

shut up.
Ignore her she is awful.

[In the Drunk Tank]

How can anyone not love the Olympics?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So no ratings for Thursday or Friday?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

?????

[jackc1806]

DS have released Olympics but no BB, someone find out?

[Urban Cragou]

How can anyone not love the Olympics?

Why should anyone? Different people like different things.

[Jordan.]

Shame that tonights last HL show will be one of the lowest ratings again thanks to the closing ceremony. I'll be watching BB though probably.

[error104]

I will be watching BB for sure, the only thing i watched the olympics was for the 200m mens race with bolt winning and that was on youtube and the opening ceremony while flicking between BB :joker:


football Euros, World cup, premier league, fa cup, friendlys, > olympics

but thats just me

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I will be watch the olympics but defo BB on +1

[jackc1806]

513k inc +1 Sunday :O

[SSL2012]

BB 2012 would of rated better then the 2011 series, but as a result of euro 2012, and the olympics, the average will of took a real beating, and this series will probably rate lower.

The first week or two it was averaging(with officials) 1.8/1.9/2.0

[billy123]

513k inc +1 Sunday :O:joker: I get the feeling that the feeble montage that was that episode would have been sub million even without competition it was awful.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So where are Fridays and Saturdays?

[Jake.]

1.5 (6.6%) for the final without +1.
According to wiki, these are the officials for week 9 from Saturday to Friday:
Week 9
Saturday. 1.18
Sunday 1.22
Monday. 1.56
Tuesday 1.64
Wednesday 1.46
Thursday 1.44
Friday 1.66

[iRyan]

Are all the ratings on Wiki officials or overnights? Many of them look like overnights to me.

[Omah]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_13_(UK)#Television_ratings

Though overall ratings were higher* than the previous series, the episode broadcast on 12 August recorded the lowest figures in the programme's history at just 483,000 (being broadcast at the same time as the 2012 Summer Olympics closing ceremony).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Brother_12_(UK)#Ratings

"The series average was the same at 1.60

[Jarrod]

I don't trust Wikipedia. So i might do my own little investigation.

When you've completed it, let us know the results and the source ..... ;)

[Jarrod]

I went to BARB and used their ratings to average out every week. If i'm right they're excluding +1?

5th June - 10th June: 1.91 Million - Highest Show was Launch
11th June - 17th June: 1.72 Million - Highest Show was Thursday Night Highlights
18th June - 24th June: 1.59 Million - Highest Show was Thursday Night Highlights

25th June - July 1st: 1.54 Million - Highest Show was Thursday Night Highlights
2nd July - 8th July: 1.60 Million - Highest Show was the Eviction
9th July - 15th July: According to Wiki the average was 1.37
16th July - July 22nd: 1.40 Million - Highest Show was the Eviction
23rd July - 29th July: 1.31 Million - Highest Show was Thursday Highlights

30th July - 5th August: 1.53 Million - Highest Show was Eviction Night
August 6th - Finale Night: 1.31 Million - Highest Show was Thursday Highlights

So in total. the average in my addition was: 1.52 Excluding +1 :shocked:

[Omah]

It beat BB12? Surprised at that considering BB12 never went below a million and seemed to consistently be doing ok

[Me. I Am Salman]

BB13 should have done better but tbh the producers deserve it for making such stupid decisions.

[Omah]

It beat BB12? Surprised at that considering BB12 never went below a million and seemed to consistently be doing ok

It didn't beat it ..... the series average was the same, but it seem that, whereas the daily/weekly figues for last year were more or less consistent, there were more highs and lows this year ..... :idc:
