And The Final Of Big Brother 13 Gets...

[Jake.]

1.5 million (6.6%) share excluding +1, with a 1.76 peak. What do you make of it?

SOurce?

Hmm not bad considering how badly its been doing the last couple of weeks, sort of rating you'd hope it'd be getting for a normal highlight show though

SOurce?

Not great then, what will it be with +1

[kefln]

A couple of things to consider there.

The first is the source, how accurate is it?

The second is C5's expectations. They aren't C4, so they wouldn't expect to get the same viewership, especially since the show has been on the air for so long. So as long as the income exceeds the cost, then its ok.

It's digital spy, the ratings relaible.

What's the +1?

[Jake.]

What's the +1?

No idea yet.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Awful.

[jackc1806]

No idea yet.

If you had to guess, would it raise it much?

[Jake.]

If you had to guess, would it raise it much?

Probably 100k or so. Hopefully the official rating adds on more.

[jackc1806]

Probably 100k or so. Hopefully the official rating adds on more.

I hope officials reach 2 million

[Shaun]

That's pretty crap :/

[SSL2012]

I take that as good news, surely 5 and endemol must see they need to
re-vamp it properly. 2 more series to get it right, Normal BB can push for 2million viewers, five/endemol only seem to put 50% in.

Live feed
A Nastier and More strict/firm Big Brother
Perhaps change the dynamics of the house to two floors or something
PROPER cross channel advertising
Regular Slot times
More White Room type twists
More eccentric housemates. I'm talking like chubby chris but not as annoying to some extent, but equally as hilarious.
Better Main Presenter, although i've found Brian's improved alot in recent weeks.

Certain there's more aswell.

If the show launches with pretty much 3million, then there's the point of intrest. To then lose pretty much 50% of that audience is terrible. But it does at least show that there is still a good appetite in the show, but five and endemol cannot keep it...

A good break of a year and less series crammed into 12months will do the show alot of good too. I see no reason why bb cannot get 2mil if they change the format, and make the correct changes.

[Apple202]

That's kind of crap.

[Jarrod]

what is life.


:idc:

not very good, though I have stopped watching it as much over the past 3 weeks anyway tbh :blush:

[Jords]

Good. Its on Ch5.

[M X]

Poor :( But I guess good for Channel 5.

[Me. I Am Salman]

The lowest rated final :(

[emmetmcl]

Not too bad, considering it is on Channel 5.

But it beat C4 and BBC2 inthe 9pm slot, so not all bad.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

But it beat C4 and BBC2 inthe 9pm slot, so not all bad.

Channel 5's normal shows get more than this.

The Hotel Inspector and CSI both get more than 1.5 million.

It is a very bad rating, people have this misconception that Channel 5 are a **** channel which has no viewership but thats not the case.

[DanielLuis]

How can people say that's good? Somo of the last few HL0s have been getting more or the same than this and this is the freaking final! The official running average so far is 1.68 M...are you imagining a final being less watched than the average? Lets hope the official make it much higher.
