The Official Celebrity Big Brother 10 Ratings Thread

[Jake.]

Only 4 a bit days to go, post your predictions for the Launch, the Series Average and Final!

[jackc1806]

Launch- 2.5
Average- 1.7
Final - 2.2

[DanielLuis]

Launch- 2.5
Average- 1.7
Final - 2.2

BB13 got 3 million for the launch, so I think CBB unfortunately will get more than that.
I mean unforunately because normal BB deserves more ratings, not because the BB format should fail.

[Andrew.]

BB13 Final - 3M
CBB10 Launch - 4M
CBB10 Average - 3.3M
Final - 4.1M

[Black Dagger]

BB13 finale = 2.6m

CBB10 launch = 3.2m

CBB10 average = 2.1m

Final - 3.3m

[jackc1806]

No promotion for Cbb and I doubt bb13 which is getting about 1.5 will jump a million

[Jake.]

CBB Launch-
2.8 Million
Average- 1.9 Million
Finale- 2.5 Million

[Raph]

Hope it does worse than normal BB, and I definitely won't be watching.

Normal BB > CBB anyday.

[Jake.]

Bump

[I've Got Class]

CBB Launch- 2.6m
CBB Average- 2m
CBB Finale- 2.2m

[emmetmcl]

Launch: 2.8million
Average: 1.2 million
Final: 2.1 million

[emmetmcl]

Launch: 2.8million
Average: 1.2 million
Final: 2.1 million

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Well seeing the dire final rating of 1.5 for BB13 and no promotion for CBB10 i am going to predict.

Launch: 1.9
Average: 1.6
Final: 1.7

I think tonight will start off low but may increase when people on Twitter ect realise its on again and obviously word spreads so maybe a 2.5 peak.

[Jordan.]

Launch: 2.3M
Average: 1.8M
Final: 2.1M

[Loukas]

Launch: 2.05m
Average: 1.6m
Final: 1.8m

[Gstar]

Launch: 3m
Average:2m
Final: 3m

And that is being generous, the advertising/promo for CBB8/9 was excellent which corresponded the ratings

[SSL2012]

5.4million - Launch

2.9 - Average

3.6 - Final

[DigitalSid]

2.61m (12.4%)

It was never going to get much more following on from BB and having no promotion, hopefully it'll retain 2 million of that and maybe grow slightly from word of mouth.

[armand.kay]

So when is this going to be a sticky? :pipe:

[Jake.]

2.61m (12.4%)

It was never going to get much more following on from BB and having no promotion, hopefully it'll retain 2 million of that and maybe grow slightly from word of mouth.

That's pretty good imo. No promotion and coming off of the back of the regular series.

[MTVN]

Bit crap, wanted 3m+

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Much better than i was expecting, Whats the +1?

Find it hilarious though that the regular launch beat it!

Could possibly average 2 million but will probs go down the same route as BB13 now.

[jackc1806]

is that including +1?

[BB IS ALIVE]

According to Broadcast

Launch: 2.61 million (12.4%)
Live from the House: 1.66 million (14%)

It got 0.99 on +1 making it 2.709 million

[daniel-lewis-1985]

According to Broadcast

Launch: 2.61 million (12.4%)
Live from the House: 1.66 million (14%)

Live from the house got 1.66?!

Thats amazing.

More than the BB13 final.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's great rating IMHO, I didn't expect it to do so well if I'm honest.

[BB IS ALIVE]

Live from the house got 1.66?!

Thats amazing.

More than the BB13 final.

I know, pretty impressive!

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Live from the house got 1.66?!

Thats amazing.

More than the BB13 final.

That's brilliant

[mkbb]

The live feed viewing is just a blip we have all moved on from live feed right? ;)

[DanielLuis]

To be honest I think CBB will possibly grow in ratings. Many teens wil hear that The Situation is in the house and will tune in. Same for other celebs. It might grow.

[Jarrod]

Will get about 3 Million officially.

Even my mum watched it last night, and she hasn't watched Big Brother since BB2

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I honestly think ratings will grow aswell.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I honestly think ratings will grow aswell.

That would be good, let's hope so.

[Jake.]

I too reckon ratings could do well this series.

[DigitalSid]

Much better than i was expecting, Whats the +1?

Find it hilarious though that the regular launch beat it!

Could possibly average 2 million but will probs go down the same route as BB13 now.

I'd be very surprised if it went under 2 million on a weekday this series, CBB9 launched with 3.5m and averaged 2.6, get 2.8 some nights and this cast is better. If the live feed got 1.7m at 11pm, the first highlights show shouldn't get less than 2m.

[jackc1806]

Anyone think tonights could beat the launch figures? I had loads of people on Twitter saying they were gonna watch tonight and it was still trending this morning??

[MTVN]

They were even talking about it on Radio 2 this morning and saying how good it was

[BB IS ALIVE]

It's still trending now, i think the ratings will do quite well, there is definitely a lot of interest.

[Black Dagger]

It's obvious CBB is massive, which IMO it's a shame, because it was supposed to only be a spin-off to the civilian show and it's likely that we'll be only getting 2 series of CBB a year after BB14 I reckon.

[DigitalSid]

It's still trending now, i think the ratings will do quite well, there is definitely a lot of interest.

Probably down to the repeat rather than last night, as it wasn't trending this morning, but a repeat trending does bode well.

[Jake.]

'Despite the relative underperformance, it was still one of C5’s best rating shows since the last series of the spin-off – discounting Europa League football – and was the channel’s biggest show of the night, beating BBC2 and Channel 4.

The launch peaked with 3.16m (17.44%) over the five-minute period from 10.30pm and smashed C5’s slot average of 1.25m (5.97%) for the past 12 months.

It was followed by a special live half an hour broadcast from within the Big Brother house, enabling viewers to see the housemates settle into their new surroundings. It was seen by 1.66m (14%) from 11pm to 11.30pm, according to overnight Barb figures supplied by Attentional.'

A pretty good peak imo, and it neat Ch4 and 2. What do you think tonights will rate. Im going with 2.1.

[Locke.]

Good ratings for the live feed but pretty poor for the launch, think it'll probably manage to stay above 2m though

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Remember 1 year ago when CBB8 launched with over 5 million and had an 8 million peak? Seems impossible now doesnt it lol.

I would be happy if the ratings stay steady for this series, just have a feeling it will be a grower.

[DigitalSid]

The situation was completely different though, it was pissing down, it followed CBB7 and BB11, it was the first Channel 5 series and it had loads of promotion.

[Jake.]

Just incase it wasn't posted
Overall, BBC One secured primetime with 21.5% ahead of ITV1's 17.8% (+1: 0.3%). Channel 5 enjoyed third place with 8.3% (+1: 0.2%) beating BBC Two's 6.3% and Channel 4's 5.9% (+1: 0.9%).

Lets not blame the weather lol.

I was just saying its hard to believe BB actually got 5 million only last year.

Unthinkable now.

[Jordan.]

Quite good for the launch especially after the flop final.

[DigitalSid]

Lets not blame the weather lol.

I was just saying its hard to believe BB actually got 5 million only last year.

Unthinkable now.

It's relevent actually, generally, the worse the weather, the more people there are watching television, look at the soap ratings during the summer, they loose 2 million every year, everything does, but the January CBB7 was on, everything was doing better than usual because it was cold and snowing, that's why all the best stuff's on in the winter.

[Redway]

Lets not blame the weather lol.

I was just saying its hard to believe BB actually got 5 million only last year.

You never know. The weather is a substantial factor in viewing figures. If it's raining, for example, people are far more likely to be indoors - hence the increased amount of people watching television at that time.

Although I agree with you in the sense that I didn't see the launch getting 5m either. But 1.7m is good enough (for now).

I don't think anyone genuinely saw last night getting 5 million.

[Jake.]

Celebrity Big Brother averaged 1.71m (8.9%).

Highlights of night one at the Elstree compound peaked at 2.02m (12%) at 22:40.

From Digital Spy. Not great, but it was up against Peter Kay which got 4.34 million.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Thats bad.

[jackc1806]

it will get 2 million + tonight; some people see no point in watching it anyway because it was rehashed from last night and it peaked when the launch night bit was over.

[MTVN]

Terrible

[Jake.]

As posted above, it peaked just over 2 million when the lauch night stuff had finished. I reckon 1.9 tonight.

[Jake.]

BBBOTS got a high 772k (7.7%)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

No more ****ing excuses for ratings from now on.

Just see it as it is. If people are fans then they will watch.

Peter Kay should be no excuse for BB getting poor ratings its not as if that got 8 million viewers, It got 4.3 million.

The fact BB is now rating low is because people cannot be arsed and do not want to watch it. Channel 5 have run it into the ground.

5 series in 12 months is outrageous.

Its a trend that the 3rd show is allways lower then Launch and the 2nd episode so tonight im expecting about 1.5.

I know we all want BB to be a success so all the BB haters will cry and moan about this "trash still being on tv" BB is our little underdog now but its time to wake up and smell the Hummus.

Excuse me? Im not making excuses, Im providing possibilities, dont't be so rude. If CH5 had have continued with BB13, it would not have got 2.7 Wednesday or 1.7 last night. It would have continued down the 1.2 million path. Yes, its going to rate poorly for CBB, but its still a boost to 5's ratings, and what do you expect for the third series this year?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Everyone is making excuses.

Im not being rude im just saying it how i see it.

We all thought this BB would be a success after launch seeing as the cast is so good and i dont think anyone expected it to lose a million viewers overnight.

I honestly thought last night would have stayed above 2 million.

Tonight is where we see how its going to average. If CBB drops any further the papers will be all over it saying how its failing.

Imagine CBB dropping below a million on Saturday? That would be awful.

Up until its third week, BB13 was officially averaging 1.92 million, I reckon CBB10 will beat that. Yes, I did expect more last night, but tonight could always fare a little better, you never know.

[mkbb]

Overkill? I think so.

[JohnnyBB]

do we know what the inspector got?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

do we know what the inspector got?

Celebrity Big Brother dipped to 1.62m (8.4%) on Channel 5 in the 10pm hour, down 1.1m on its Thursday launch. Before Big Brother, The Hotel Inspector had 1.46m (6.6%).

[Novo]

Sure it will pick up a bit tonight with the face to face nominations

[robb]

Perhaps people saw on the first nite that they recognised less than half the housemates and decided to switch off. Overkill is another problem for sure.

[SSL2012]

BB Overkill simple as that...Tbh Five should of been finished with bb for 2012 after last monday this current crop of celeb's should of been the january batch.

With some heavy promo after a good 5 month break, ratings would probably be around 2.5 possibly 3mil a night. It's a seriously good casting, that deserves that kind of rating.

However it's very debatable Mr Kay snatched a good few hundred thousand last night.

[Redway]

No one's making excuses. Various factors do affect ratings and you do have to take them into consideration. Last night's ratings may not have been very good but it certainly would've fared better had it not been against that show.

[Jake.]

Ratings haven't been released just yet, but some interesting news from DS!:

Celebrity Big Brother was second in the 21:00 slot yesterday beating ITV1, Channel 4 and BBC Two - although all four networks were below 2 million in that slot!

[Jake.]

21:00 - Corrie Goes To Kenya: 1.77m (8.4%), +1: 108k (0.6%)

If the statement I just posted IS correct, CBB got higher ratings than 1.77 million.

[SSL2012]

Omg

[jackc1806]

So Cbb got less than 2million!?:(

[Black Dagger]

So Cbb got less than 2million!?:(

Where does it say that?

[Jake.]

CBB will have a rating of anything between 1.77 and 2 million. Hopefully live noms also performed!

[MTVN]

Why not +2m?

[Locke.]

Celebrity Big Brother was second in the 21:00 slot yesterday beating ITV1, Channel 4 and BBC Two - although all four networks were below 2 million in that slot!

[Black Dagger]

Oh yes, I didn't see that.

-gets new glasses-

[Jake.]

So Cbb rated something between 1.77 and 2 million viewers and will be up on the night before. Hopefully live noms also did well!

[MTVN]

Oh I see

[SSL2012]

OMG great news

[jackc1806]

Someone get the ratings???

[Jordan.]

Let's hope red or black flops tonight.

[jackc1806]

How come corrie has been released but not Cbb?

[jackc1806]

Let's hope red or black flops tonight.

Glad they haven't put the x factor at 9

[Redway]

No sign of the ratings anywhere, unfortunately, but ratings usually take time to be published during the weekend. I'm getting ready to go out but have a look at the Digital Spy page from 17.00 onwards. They should be published by then.

As for the Corrie bit...not a clue. But I know they're usually published between 17.00 and 19.30.

So BBC 1 was the only one with more than 2M? Thats strange!

Just got back. Still no sign of the ratings on Digital Spy. :(

Nope. There's no point dwelling on it now, though. If they're not published by this time then they'll be published tomorrow.

[Jake.]

Ah well, will have to wait till later on! At least we know it got something between 1.8-2 million, hopeful that live nominations got 1.3-1.5 million.

[Redway]

And I hope tonights done well, clever placing it just as the XFactor finished.

Indeed. Just as well, The X Factor will probably pull off around 9.4m (42%) tonight so it would never have stood a half-decent chance against that.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

And I hope tonights done well, clever placing it just as the XFactor finished.

The 1st 5 minutes overlapped with the X Factor so it will dent it slightly.

Hope it doesnt dip under a million.

Wish they would just hurry up and release the figures already.

[MTVN]

Celebrity Big Brother entertained 1.31m (6.2%) on Channel 5 at 9.10pm (+1: 147k/0.8%)

Not bad for a Saturday I guess, still no figures for Friday though

Its bad for a CBB.

Think last CBB was dropping just below 2 million on a Saturday so it is significally down on Januarys series.

Be interested to see what Fridays got.

It allways pisses me off when such a good episode doesnt get the ratings it deserves.

Dont see how people were sure it got between 1.8 and 2 million last night without seeing the figures :/

i think it would have gotten over 2 million it should have done, its live streaming face to face noms it got over 1.0m on 5* should have got plenty more on channel 5.

[DanielLuis]

Isn't it normal in the UK for less people to watch tv in the summer? Then it's not that bad if this series averages 0.3 or 0.4 less than winter's CBB. If it averages even less than that though, C5 should stop showing 3 seasons a year.
The only way BB would have worked in C5 is if they waited 3 or 4 years before it's return. Many more people would watch it.
Here in Portugal that worked. BB finished in 2003. The ratings decresed in the last season but they weren't that bad. 7 years later BB returns under the Secret Story format (witch is pretty much the same thing) and it gets as many viewers as the first BB, with the sucess continuing and this year we'll have the 3rd season.
You know, more people watch the portuguese version than the british version. And Portugal as 10M people while the UK has 62M people. That's saying something.

Yeah, but I'd imagine it's down year-on-year and all. It really should be doing a lot better.

[SSL2012]

Tbf Ch 5 are NOT maximising the brand. On channel 4 it would still be getting around 2.5million if not 3mil+ on the CBB version.

5 haven't advertised it, and continually shunt the fans and what they want.Even in it's current state, it's still one of the networks high rating earners.

A break would be good for the format i agree.

[Saph]

I wish there was a way we could know how many people record it on Sky+ and V+ and watch it on demand5, because surely that would boost ratings?

[jackc1806]

Fridays???!!!

[Redway]

Can't find Friday's anywhere, you know. :(

[Jake.]

Something which has just been posted on Digital Spy Forums:
According to Ch4 overnights, Channel 5 had a 7.1% share all day compared to Ch4 6.8% which is a few % higher than the last few days, and highest since Wednesday. Maybe CBB went over 2m?

[Jake.]

Celebrity Big Brother got 1.89m including +1, not sure what Friday's ratings was but if it was lower than that, then last night was the highest since the launch.

A pretty good rating I think!

[*mazedsalv**]

Hi guys, I'm back, nice to see this thread whilst I was on holiday. Lol I posted those 2 previous comments on DS :p

But yeah 1.89m, not too bad to get the highest since launch. I know it's low for a CBB, but that is a rise of around 450k from Saturday which is decent!

I was thinking it was someone on here ahaha :) yeah I mean this series was never going to rate like the last, and a 450k jump is great, now we just need to know friday's.

[SSL2012]

Omg :o

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Glad to see the ratings going back up a bit.

[Redway]

Hey there, Salv. :)

[*mazedsalv**]

For those that want to compare to CBB9, the first Sunday of CBB9 got 2.1m, so it's only 200k down on a much hotter day than it was then. Maybe tonight it could hit 2m which it could do and does deserve it. It seems that this series could get through on word of mouth.

Haha, "LF is not needed" my bloody arse :laugh: That is one brilliant rating for Live Noms.

Apart from Saturday's the ratings aren't all that bad considering this is the third series to air this year! The nominations is the most impressive though, just wow.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The highlights are pretty much performing the same as the start of BB13.

Live feed is doing so well.

Naa it's doing much better I think. The highest rated HL show was in the first week of BB13 and was 1.65m. And all of CBB10 bar Saturday's show has been higher, so that's a good sign.

Agree that Live Noms did very well.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

From digital spy

Bit on the Side managed an impressive 1.06m (7.3%) from 10.30pm (+1: 101k/1.2%).

I still really think this series ratings will increase as the show goes on.

Omg..OMG..OH MY GOD

Over 1mil for BBBOTS, damn i should of gone on friday :(

I'll be there on final night anyway ;) :cat:

[Jarrod]

1 Million people tuned into BOTS? :O

[MarcusLloydAK]

It's a shame it's doing so bad. Like someone said - no excuses. The first series of CBB got 2 million+ for every episode. Thinking about it, it really was a good series of CBB. The best I've ever seen. Tara's crazy rants were the HL for me! And remember Pamela? wow that series seems so much longer than a year ago. The last series tried to hard, as has this one. The only good thing I remember about the last series was Nicola's breakdown.

[DanielLuis]

Just went and took a look back at CBB8 ratings...5M watched the launch! Over 3M watched the first few HL's!
Season average: 2.8M :worship:
God, if C5 had done things right, things could have gone so much better!

[jackc1806]

What will tonight's show get?

[Jake.]

Celebrity Big Brother last night pulled in its best audience since launching last Wednesday, early overnight data indicates.

Highlights of Day 5 from the house garnered 1.89m (7.9%) for Channel 5 in the 9pm hour, adding an impressive 276k (1.6%) on +1.

Celebrity Wedding Planner logged its best ever audience with 1.02m (5.9%) at 10pm. Previous airings had failed to surpass the 1m mark.

[*mazedsalv**]

2.17m for last night!!

Soars past 2m for the first time for a HL show!! Great increase.

[Jake.]

So with +1, is that 2.17 million?

Yep, Salv just posted it :) A fantastic rating imo.

[rayheartbliss]

sheeet
wasn't aware how well cbb is doing
it seems that cbb is becoming more watched than the civilian version
not surprising seeing that they put too many d***heads on that programme.

[*mazedsalv**]

So with +1, is that 2.17 million?

Yes it is! That very strong +1 figure may have been because of people watching the footie watched on +1.

[*mazedsalv**]

655k for BOTS. That is a very high rating for BOTS for 11pm.

[Jake.]

For the first time up on the equivalent show last series, which had 2.15m. BB beat Ch4 and BBC2.

If I'm correct, the average currently stands at 1.96 million.

[*mazedsalv**]

So far:

Launch- 2.7m
Thursday- 1.71m
Friday- 1.82m
Friday Live Noms- 1.92m
Saturday- 1.46m
Sunday- 1.89m
Monday- 2.17m

[Jake.]

Just still love how much the ratings have grown! To go from 1.46 and two days later be at 2.17 is great.

[jackc1806]

Will it average higher than cbb9 then?

[Jake.]

Will it average higher than cbb9 then?

Nah, CBB9 officially averaged 2.6. I reckon if the rating continue though, we could get an official average of 2.3ish. I could be wrong, just depends on the ratings.

[robb]

So far:

Launch- 2.7m
Thursday- 1.71m

Monday- 2.17m

There have been one or two favourable comments in the daily mirror and on radio 5 live, mainly because of julie goodyear and martin kemp being in it. It is STILL only 2 million though. And I watched on +1 because I didn't want to miss the ITV1 drama....

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

2.17m for last night!!

Soars past 2m for the first time for a HL show!! Great increase.

That's absolutely brilliant that the ratings got over 2m:dance:

[Redway]

"Highlights of Day 5 from the house garnered 1.89m (7.9%) for Channel 5 in the 9pm hour, adding an impressive 276k (1.6%) on +1."

276K added to 1.89m = 2.166m = 2.17m to two decimal places.

Impressive figures.

[Munchkins]

I really hope Celebrity Big Brother 10 continues to do well - it deserves it imo :)

[*mazedsalv**]

Will it average higher than cbb9 then?

If it gets overnight of 2.3m (around 2.6m officials) it would match CBB9. But CBB9 launched with around 900k more so anything near that it would be seen as a success.

Tonight I am unsure it will get 2m as it's on at 10pm but there is less competition. But Weds eviction should pull in decent numbers.

[Jake.]

I reckon 1.9 tonight.

[jackc1806]

If it gets above 2 million its done well

[*mazedsalv**]

Hopefully over 2m again tonight, might be tougher as it's on at 10pm instead of 9pm.

[Jake.]

Hopefully over 2m again tonight, might be tougher as it's on at 10pm instead of 9pm.

That's why I'm not so sure. It might suprise me though. Any idea what the same episode last year grabbed?

[jackc1806]

Person of interest will be a good lead in

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night got 1.96m (11.2%) EXCLUDING +1. The +1 did not exceed 100k, but in general +1 usually gets 70-80k for 11pm. So we can say it went over 2m again.

Great for the first 10pm slot of the series to get 2m. And one of the highest share that I can remember this year in general.

This 2m rating incl +1 means the eviction should get 2.2m+ tonight.

[jackc1806]

Christ that is great; what were 10pm slots getting in CBB 9?

[SSL2012]

I'm gunna go with a 2.2/2.3mil for the HL's tonight.

1.8mil for live from the house

and 800,000 for bbbots.

[*mazedsalv**]

Christ that is great; what were 10pm slots getting in CBB 9?

I think in general the 10pm slot was getting around 2.1m-2.3m overnights and 9pm was getting around 2.4m.

Tonight should be around 2.2m-2.3m I would predict.

[Redway]

It's a real shame 5-minute consolidation figures aren't posted alongside the average. It would be really good to get a more accurate picture of just how many times it hit 2 million throughout the hour.

****ing brilliant and all. It's bound to be well above the 2 million mark today.

[Jake.]

2.3 tonight I reckon, its great how well ot done in the 10PM slot, and such a good share.

[Jake.]

I really thought this series would average something like 1.7 million.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

That's fantastic news the rating are on the up, I just wish sky+ & on demand counted towards the ratings aswell, it would be really interesting to see what that would bring the ratings up too.

[MTVN]

Nah they were wrong:

Celebrity Big Brother's upward spiral in the ratings extended to yesterday's (August 22) live eviction show, the latest overnight data indicates.

Jasmine Lennard's eviction was seen by 2.14m (10%) in the 9pm hour, and a further 111k (0.7%) on Channel 5 +1.

This comes despite a weak inheritance of just 653k (3.3%) from new business series Secret Interview, which aired between 8pm and 9pm. The reality show has risen consistently since Monday night (August 20).

Live from the House followed with 1.29m (10.1%) between 10.30pm and 11.30pm, after which Emma Willis's Bit on the Side further whetted the appetites of 627k (9.4%) Big Brother hardcores

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s150/celebrity-big-brother/news/a401328/celebrity-big-brother-live-jasmine-eviction-pulls-in-23m.html

2.3 million then.

Not bad at all :)

I nipped over to DS a minute ago and I can't find the ratings anywhere. You'll have to wait a while.

And for future reference, Twitter bares absolutely no significance in the world of ratings. They usually get it wrong anyway so at least get them from a decent source.

[Redway]

"10pm's Celebrity Big Brother managed a strong 2.03m (11.8%) - posting an impressive 400k week-on-week rise. Emma Willis's Bit on the Side interested 792k (8.5%) an hour after that."

Came through at 23:58 yesterday but better late than never, I suppose. Good to see CBB maintaining its 2m+ viewers.

[Jords]

:D

[Loukas]

Benedict Cumberbatch drama and in with the flyns where always gonna rate higher!

[*mazedsalv**]

Eviction rating is dodgy. With +1 it will be 2m+, but Thursday got 2.03m excl +1 at 10pm so that's a weird drop.

Harder competition for the target audience (Mrs Browns Boys maybe?). Surprised it didn't reach it. Tonight will be around 1.5m (being a Saturday) and Sunday should be back to around 2.1m incl +1.

Very strong rating for BOTS though.

How on earth is that a poor rating when it's only 0.1m off the magical 2m mark you idiot?

Anyway, that figure would've been knocked down by Lavish period.

"BBC Two's lavish new period drama Parade's End made an impressive start on Friday night, early overnight data suggests.

Starring Benedict Cumberbatch, the five-part series kicked off with 3.13m (14.1%) on BBC Two in the 9pm hour, topping the slot for half an hour between 9pm and 9.30pm."

Even 2 million would have been low for CBB. I was expecting atleast 2.3 as the ratings have been climbing.

But it clashed with the show I posted and weren't you the one who went around on this thread claiming how glad you were that the show made it above 2 million viewers?

[BB IS ALIVE]

It probably dropped Below 2 million because it was a pretty drawn out eviction, it wasn't the most entertaining of highlight shows either. 1.86 million isn't bad it will do better in the officials, much better.

Older viewers of BB might have (not all 2 million or so viewers are teens).

1.45m for last night. On par with last weeks Saturday rating, before anyone says "Omg, that's rubbish!" No it isn't for a Saturday. Tonight will be around 2m+ again hopefully. I still need to catch up on last night.

So far the overnight average stands at 2.3m. Around 2.6m officials that would be (and that would be on par to CBB9).

[Jake.]

Yeah, I expected it. It should grow again!

[*mazedsalv**]

Red Or Black only grabbed 3.52m and 3.88m incl +1 against CBB. Bad for such an expensive show.

[Jarrod]

Red or Black failed last year too.

[jackc1806]

Does anyone know what that house party got in ratings?

[*mazedsalv**]

Red or Black failed last year too.

Well it started with 6-7m and then settled to around 4m. But this series it started lower, so it could be at around 3m by the end of this series run.

No. You only look at the ratings, never at the circustances. And a blind person could see that Jnuary's ratings were up on these ones, why wouldn't they be? January is colder, gets more ratings, and it was the first series this year. And I know 1.5 isn't going to jump up to 3 million, 1.8/9 at best. But so what? This is the third series this year. Give it a break lol.

[JTM45]

People aren't watching because it's absolute sh1te!

Every series of BB/CBB that has been on since Channel 5 got hold of it and started systematically destroying it has been absolute sh1te and i'm sure every one they do in the future (unless they have a massive re-think) will get progressively lower ratings.

Your recurring theme of trying to exhibit a high degree of knowledge in terms of viewing figures resumes its constant theme of embarrassment.

You absolutely cannot compare viewing figures from January to August. You absolutely cannot choose to pick up any old viewing figures from a particular time and then go on to compare them to another time.

So far it seems you have nothing to say for the fact that it is always colder and darker in January? Nothing to say that we can thus work out that more people are likely to be indoors at this time? Nothing to say for the fact that people are more likely to be outside having a life during the summer and aren't likely to be sat around waiting for CBB - or any other television show - to come on? Nothing to say that people can easily catch up with their shows should they choose to do so? Do you understand that ratings are not black and white? Has it ever occurred to you that people may be on holiday during the summer, which would perhaps compensate for and explain a significant yet obvious drop in viewing figures?

I would suggest you post some statistics to prove your argument and when I mean statistics I'm not talking about your interpretation which you will have no doubt subverted to suit your biased agenda but hard, obvious data.

It's a proven fact that people are more likely to be indoors watching television in January, kid. I would really suggest you research viewing figures in depth before forming your conclusions.

From BARB: http://www.barb.co.uk/graph/weekly-viewing?_s=4

As you can see, there tend to be peaks in general television viewership on the two extremes of the x-axis on the graph, with annual, inevitable drops in the middle section ... which would perhaps denote less viewership? In fact it denotes the least viewership throughout the year?

Is it not dark by 19.30 in January? Is it not cold enough to be confined to your own house throughout the month anyway and find a way of entertaining yourself - most probably through television, of which 20 million households in the UK alone posses?

Ever heard of photoperiodism? Vernal equinox? Summer solstice? Autumnal equinox? Winter solstice? Notice that the two extremes are given the label solstice and not equinox - which renders your point even more insignificant and a ludicrous comparison to make?

http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://scienceblogs.com/twominds/wp-content/blogs.dir/266/files/2012/04/i-4880a1febdf7f302a0171e3d5bd738f2-hare%2520graph.bmp&imgrefurl=http://scienceblogs.com/twominds/2008/03/04/colorchanging-rabbits-and-phot/&h=367&w=370&sz=399&tbnid=TVLb7oXhZR93QM:&tbnh=83&tbnw=84&zoom=1&usg=__bGjzkO2ZTtPsgY5AJhcO7O7HoD4=&hl=en&sa=X&ei=vcw7UKTCK4jX0QXFjIDYCQ&ved=0CCEQ9QEwAA&dur=351

See how January has approximately 14.8 hours of darkness as opposed to August, which can barely scrape 10? So mathematically speaking January gets at least 1.48 times more night than August? Not to mention all the people on holiday at this time? Not to mention the fact 2/3 of the people who go on holiday yearly in the UK alone go between 25 June and 31 August?

Incidentally, have a look at CBB8 and CBB9 versions - both at extremes in season - and see if the ratings were even remotely similar. No? Are they not?

And that's me done with you. You will undoubtedly find some way to dismiss and completely miss the idea - or should I say purportedly claim to do this - and spout the same ill-informed bull that you've spouted throughout this thread, which makes arguing with you as ludicrous as the arguments you present.

You will no doubt completely ignore the statistics and arguments I provide you and go on to insult other members who are educated in this field - and by the way isn't that rather hypocritical considering you allegedly reported me for insulting you the other day, of which I still haven't been infracted for yet? Ooops.

HOPE THIS CLEARS UP EVERYTHING FOR YOU.

Er ... yeah. Take that.

It's a proven fact that people are more likely to be indoors watching television in January, kid. I would really suggest you research viewing figures in depth before forming your conclusions.

From BARB: http://www.barb.co.uk/graph/weekly-viewing?_s=4

As you can see, there tend to be peaks in general television viewership on the two extremes of the x-axis on the graph, with annual, inevitable drops in the middle section ... which would perhaps denote less viewership? In fact it denotes the least viewership throughout the year?

Is it not dark by 19.30 in January? Is it not cold enough to be confined to your own house throughout the month anyway and find a way of entertaining yourself - most probably through television, of which 20 million households in the UK alone posses?

Ever heard of photoperiodism? Vernal equinox? Summer solstice? Autumnal equinox? Winter solstice? Notice that the two extremes are given the label solstice and not equinox - which renders your point even more insignificant and a ludicrous comparison to make?

See how January has approximately 14.8 hours of darkness as opposed to August, which can barely scrape 10? So mathematically speaking January gets at least 1.48 times more night than August? Not to mention all the people on holiday at this time? Not to mention the fact 2/3 of the people who go on holiday yearly in the UK alone go between 25 June and 31 August?

Incidentally, have a look at CBB8 and CBB9 versions - both at extremes in season - and see if the ratings were even remotely similar. No? Are they not?

And that's me done with you. You will undoubtedly find some way to dismiss and completely miss the idea - or should I say purportedly claim to do this - and spout the same ill-informed bull that you've spouted throughout this thread, which makes arguing with you as ludicrous as the arguments you present.

You will no doubt completely ignore the statistics and arguments I provide you and go on to insult other members who are educated in this field - and by the way isn't that rather hypocritical considering you allegedly reported me for insulting you the other day, of which I still haven't been infracted for yet? Ooops.

HOPE THIS CLEARS UP EVERYTHING FOR YOU.

Er ... yeah. Take that.

Yeah, this. Ratings are not black and white.

They are still not very good this series though, but it's no surprise considering it's off the tail-end of BB13 and late August. And not to mention it's gotten boring since Jasmine left.

[Jake.]

Including Live From The House, the Official average from those figures above is 2.2 million.

[*mazedsalv**]

Friday's, Saturday's and Sunday's ratings! :amazed:

It should be noted that all of the above figures was BEFORE the show started hitting 2m in the overnights! The Monday figure which should be released next week will be around the 2.5m mark as it got 2.2m in the overnights. That 2.31, for Sunday was up drastically from 1.89m that the overnights got.

[*mazedsalv**]

It has risen a lot again after Bank Holiday Weekend Drop.

Last night got 2.07m incl +1. Half a million up on Sunday.

[Suze]

People aren't watching because it's absolute sh1te!

Every series of BB/CBB that has been on since Channel 5 got hold of it and started systematically destroying it has been absolute sh1te and i'm sure every one they do in the future (unless they have a massive re-think) will get progressively lower ratings.

BB as we knew and loved it is DEAD!!!!:(

It started to decline steadily when C4 had it, as expected with a show run over so many years, they just get stale. C4 needed to have a rethink, change it a bit to refresh it, or just let it lay dormant for a few years, and it might have been fine then. BB also started to interfer too much to steer nominations and eviction a certain way, especially with the side shows.

Since C5 got hold of it, their mistake has been to completely ignore what the fans want as if they deliberately want to p*ss them off, and to do away with 99% or what seems like it of live feed, and also show highly edited clips and with twitter nonsense so skewed out of context and badly written, it is ridiculous.


Their shows always seem to start off with so much promise, then they inevitably start to decline. They need to start listening to the fans of the show and start the live feed again even if it's only so many hours a day, and also let the fans suggest some of the tasks as BB allowed in BB2, and consequently that series ended up with some of the best tasks because of it, showing the fans know better what is needed to keep the show on keel, which of course they would as they are the captive audience.

It has risen a lot again after Bank Holiday Weekend Drop.

That's fantastic, back up again.

Awesome ratings for this time of year, and no doubt amazing for Channel 5.

Right. Sorry about that. Got a bit confused.

[Redway]

Excellent figures.

[DanielLuis]

Your recurring theme of trying to exhibit a high degree of knowledge in terms of viewing figures resumes its constant theme of embarrassment.

You absolutely cannot compare viewing figures from January to August. You absolutely cannot choose to pick up any old viewing figures from a particular time and then go on to compare them to another time.

So far it seems you have nothing to say for the fact that it is always colder and darker in January? Nothing to say that we can thus work out that more people are likely to be indoors at this time? Nothing to say for the fact that people are more likely to be outside having a life during the summer and aren't likely to be sat around waiting for CBB - or any other television show - to come on? Nothing to say that people can easily catch up with their shows should they choose to do so? Do you understand that ratings are not black and white? Has it ever occurred to you that people may be on holiday during the summer, which would perhaps compensate for and explain a significant yet obvious drop in viewing figures?

I would suggest you post some statistics to prove your argument and when I mean statistics I'm not talking about your interpretation which you will have no doubt subverted to suit your biased agenda but hard, obvious data.
