*The Official CBB12 Ratings Thread*

[neneu10]

Well I hope more than 2.6m for the launch

[Gstar]

aaah, all these series, I'm losing my mind!

[RichardG]

Last years CBB10 that followed on from the main series had 2.61m, hopefully we'll beat that this year.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Cant see it doing that well.

Its had no promotion.

[RichardG]

Cant see it doing that well.

Its had no promotion.

From memory I don't think CBB10's promotion was very good either... the only thing I remember was that awful ad with Brian in the sparkly purple diary room. I remember everyone being surprised at how good the launch ratings were the next day. :laugh:

[Rob!]

I dunno how well this will do...I'm going to go for the same amount as the BB launch tbh.

[Raph]

Hope it does less well than the civilian BB. And I'll definitely not be watching it, CBB isn't meant for the summer.

[Jake.]

I think it'll get 2.4ish although it might suprise me

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I think about 2.3million

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The final of BB14 got the same as last years CBB final (mad to think).

CBB is just not needed in the summer, its to much.

[neneu10]

I'm anxious to see the launch figures

[thom_bombadil]

2.66m, according to @tvratingsuk on twitter.

There's no need for two Celeb BB's a year.

[jackc1806]

2.7 million inc+1 (14.2%)
Peak 3.06m

Overkill

[@bbuk_fans]

Both a good and bad rating, 2.66m

Good:
- It came second in its slot, beating BBC2, ITV and Channel 4. It was only beat by BBC1.
- it is up from last summer's celeb launch

Bad:
- it is down from January launch (although there are generally more viewers in January anyway)
- It is the second lowest launch CBB rating to date.

[jackc1806]

January will always win- it has more casual viewers, sustained ad campaign and is not just plonked on the end of BB

[thom_bombadil]

Channel 5 are well and truly wringing the format dry. It's on pretty much all year. I'm an avid fan, but even I find myself losing interest at times. They should make people wait and thirst for it.

[SSL2012]

I reckon this is the last summer series anyway, contracts up for renewal soon enough.

With just the 1 in january, five will have a bigger budget, extensive advertising campaign, higher viewer figures and better celebs.

A no brainer

Even so 2.7million is still ridiculously high by c5 standards.

[Samm]

I thought it will get lower

[SSL2012]

It's got some very big characters in there. Tbh i can see the retention being very good.

Will end up anywhere from 2-2.3million in overnights i reckon.

2.83million with +1, just shy of the magic 3million.

[Jake.]

That's a far better rating than expected, given how BB14 launched with 2.1 I was going to put it around that mark. Matches CBB10s launch. Great that it came second.

[Rob!]

As some on digital spy have said, it's certainly not bad for a 2 hour show on channel 5 but it's certainly nowhere near that ridiculous 4m mark the daily star predicted.

[Jordan.]

Winter CBB always does better, so I'm only gonna compare this to last summers CBB to see how good/bad it's doing.

[DigitalSid]

Great. Up on last year's summer series, which is the only one, given the difference in available casual viewers between January and August, you can compre it to, in both rating and share, and came second only to BBC One in it's slot.

That's a far better rating than expected, given how BB14 launched with 2.1 I was going to put it around that mark. Matches CBB10s launch. Great that it came second.

Beat CBB10's launch by 100k, and beat it's overall share before you even add +1.

It's not effecting the winter series, as CBB11 showed, so I don't see why, and it rates better for them than dragging out the normal series would, much as I'd love to have seen Dextina in there a few more weeks.

[SSL2012]

I agree with that your saying.

However, surely Ben Frow realises that at this rate they're gunna have to re-use the same celebritys...Must be running out of options.

And when you go for people like Danielle Marr, even Mr Motivator was linked (prob a standby) then you really are scrapping the barrel. Imagine a whole cast full of non-celebritys like Danielle Marr?

For that reason alone i'd scrape the summer series, or it truly will impact the jan version. Mind it's obvious every jan edition will have the novelty act from x factor in their.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its up on last years summer launch so its a good figure.

You cant really compare summer series with winter ones tbh I always compare it to the previous summer.

Summer and winter CBB's just seem like 2 different shows.

[RichardG]

Really pleased with that rating, it's done much better than I expected it to. Very surprising when it had such little advertising.

[thom_bombadil]

Tellymix have said that with +1, the overnight ratings stood at 2.85m, with a peak of over 3 million viewers. Actually pretty good for a summer series. They will probably increase when BARB release the official ratings in a couple of weeks.

[thom_bombadil]

That being said, they're still overdoing it.

[DigitalSid]

I agree with that your saying.

Danielle was clearly chosen for her diva-ish personality rather than her fame.

[DigitalSid]

Slightly off topic but Ben Frow has mentioned BB14's ratings in a press release about the channel's return to original drama:

Ben Frow, Director of Programmes Channel 5 said “Along with our new drama we’ve got other new commissions that I think keep the channel fresh and exciting. Big Brother this year has performed better than ever before and these new shows – and the many more we are also working on add texture and diversity to the schedule and will play nicely alongside the rest of the schedule”

http://about.channel5.com/node/1852

[Brother Leon]

A peak of 3m with no real star celeb is fine enough.

[Jake.]

@TVRatingsUK: #CelebrityBigBrother continued last night averaging 2.05m/10.4% on Channel 5. #CBB

[jackc1806]

@TVRatingsUK: #CelebrityBigBrother continued last night averaging 2.05m/10.4% on Channel 5. #CBB

Hope +1 inflates that figure

We could see CBB ratings about the same as BBs

[Samm]

Excludes +1 ;)

Oh

Well hopefully that will add quite a bit on

[DigitalSid]

Oh

Well hopefully that will add quite a bit on

It won't have 2.85 again, but no one should realistically have been expecting it to, there's always a drop off after the launch, particularly when the launch rates well, a lot of the additional viewers on launch night are just the curious, tuning in to mock the new lot, and because it's live and an event.

[jackc1806]

2,155,000 with +1

Tonight will be like 1.5m- be prepared guys ;)

[DigitalSid]

2,155,000 with +1

985k last night for BOTS :)

[jackc1806]

It's a Saturday, so to be expected, hopefully it won't dent it in the long run.

I know- should rise back to 2 million hopefully

[RichardG]

Any news on how Saturday did?

[jackc1806]

1,642,000 inc +1

[RichardG]

1,642,000 inc +1

Better than I expected

It's good for a Saturday!

[Jake.]

That's a fine figure, nothing to be sniffed at.

[DigitalSid]

That's a fine figure, nothing to be sniffed at.

Yup, up 180k on the first Saturday of last summer (1.46m), with a 1.8% higher share (7% vs 8.8%). Promising.

[DigitalSid]

Bit on the Psych got 650k (4.8%) inc+1

[Samm]

Not bad for a Saturday what was C4 big brother average on a Saturday

[ahopkins]

Not bad for a Saturday what was C4 big brother average on a Saturday

Paired with CBB7's first Saturday it got 2.87 million in officials which is pretty awful.
Comparing overnight figures excl. +1 CBB12 was only 1 million behind as CBB7 got 2.48 million.

[Jake.]

Also at 9pm: The Hairy Bikers: Restoration Road Trip 1.38m/6.3%; The Mechanic 1.44m/7.2%; Celebrity Big Brother 1.43m/6.6%; Avatar 593k/3.7%

What are you trying to say.

Please break this down for me because im baffled.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Can people post the ratings when we actually get plus 1 ect otherwise the forum gets cluttered with different numbers.

Anyway It got 1.68 including +1

The same Sunday from BB14 got 1.51 so not far behind CBB12 so far.

Ben Frow needs to admit now that Summer CBB is a big expensive mistake.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its barely beating BB14 in the highlights so far.

Summer CBB is a massive expense and when paying 5 or 6 figure sums out to these celebs and only getting a slight higher ratings figure than a house filled with the normal people of civilian BB it doesn't really bode well does it.

People warmed to the housemates in BB14 i think and wernt really ready to just see them forgotten about and chucked in the reality tv bin or for us to move on like it never happened lol.

#AskHazel is the top trending topic on Twitter right now....People are starting to get more interested in the civilian series again and that's what they need to invest in.

Ben Frow recently said in an interview summer CBB could get the axe so he knows the score.

Anyway my dream is that this CBB flops like an 80 year old womans bingo wing.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So why don't you just post +1 if you are going to make the post so someone else doesn't have to.

I don't want it to flop - it's not a bad series. Plenty of potential. It's just we don't NEED two celeb series. They are going to run out of celebs if they keep it at this rate.

[JohnnyBB]

I Have A felling This Summers celeb bb will flop and be axed!
next year in january it will be down 100k but i fully expect next years summer bb to rise another 200k if they play it right, if it fails to rise another 200k on the previous year big brothers in serious trouble, but then again if bb reaches that magic 2+ million and starts to decline from that the year after it will be in serious trouble again.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I don't want it to flop - it's not a bad series. Plenty of potential. It's just we don't NEED two celeb series. They are going to run out of celebs if they keep it at this rate.

The reason i want it to fail is so Channel 5 realise the fans would rather see two spectacular shows each year not 4 been pushed in our faces .

We would like to actually remember the winner and not throw them in the bin after 3 days.

Making the final in civilian BB means nothing now, its no longer an achievement as your literally out and get no acknowledgement for sticking it out for 10 weeks with 16 crazy people.

The summer series should be event television and not over shadowed by CBB.

Housemates have a better chance of staying in the public eye until the run up to the next summer aswell and housemates in the press is the best promotion the show can get.

TOWIE would be nothing without the press attention and that what BB needs.

[Jake.]

So why don't you just post +1 if you are going to make the post so someone else doesn't have to.

Doesn't take much.

Because it didn't have +1 at the time? It takes two seconds to do a correction, so as you said, doesn't take much.

[RichardG]

I'd rather we didn't have the summer CBB edition but no way do I want it to fail, whether I enjoy it or not is yet to be seen but I still want it do do well. A 20 day winter CBB and a 50-60 day summer BB would be my ideal schedule.

[billy123]

Why have people gone so sophie anderton in this thread?
The figures are fine C5 will be loving them.
Especially danny chill out love. wanting the show to fail is a step too far.

[Jamie585]

Not suprised ratings are low.. awful series so far

[DigitalSid]

*Sigh*

Can people post the ratings when we actually get plus 1 ect otherwise the forum gets cluttered with different numbers.

The excluding +1 figure is also important as it gives us an indication of how many were able to and made the effort to watch live and an indication of how many of the inc +1 figure missed it live but made the effort to catch up an hour later.

Anyway It got 1.68 including +1

The same Sunday from BB14 got 1.51 so not far behind CBB12 so far.

Ben Frow needs to admit now that Summer CBB is a big expensive mistake.
It wasn't him that comissioned the summer series, Jeff Ford did, and tonight onwards, with the bank holiday over it should hopefully start hovering around or just beneath 2 million, yes that's nothing on the winter series, but it's up on or at least in line with the same series last year and is doing better than, as much as I would love it, an additional 3 weeks of the civillian series would.
Its barely beating BB14 in the highlights so far.
Summer bank holiday effect, three day weekend + sun = people still out at 9, it'll be back up tonight or tomorrow, with people back in work and the show back on at 10, it's fine.

Summer CBB is a massive expense and when paying 5 or 6 figure sums out to these celebs and only getting a slight higher ratings figure than a house filled with the normal people of civilian BB it doesn't really bode well does it.

I think Jeff Ford said that Desmond pays the celebs out of his money. If not, I'm sure Endemol have enough left over from C5's rights payments to afford them, and C5 from Desmond and Northern and Shell to cover it. If they didn't, they'd go back to one series.

People warmed to the housemates in BB14 i think and wernt really ready to just see them forgotten about and chucked in the reality tv bin or for us to move on like it never happened lol.

#AskHazel is the top trending topic on Twitter right now....People are starting to get more interested in the civilian series again and that's what they need to invest in.

It is, I admit, nice to see how well BB14 went down, it's telling the amount of references there have been back to it on the celebrity BOTS shows so far, it's Channel 5's first all time civillian classic.

Ben Frow recently said in an interview summer CBB could get the axe so he knows the score.

Anyway my dream is that this CBB flops like an 80 year old womans bingo wing.
He said nothing of the sort, that was a member here's (incorrect) interpretation of his comments about not wanting to rely on it. Ben simply meant he wanted to create or bring to the channel other juggernaughts too.
So why don't you just post +1 if you are going to make the post so someone else doesn't have to.

Doesn't take much.
+1s aren't always available or out there straight away, particularly for weekend ratings.
I Have A felling This Summers celeb bb will flop and be axed!
next year in january it will be down 100k but i fully expect next years summer bb to rise another 200k if they play it right, if it fails to rise another 200k on the previous year big brothers in serious trouble, but then again if bb reaches that magic 2+ million and starts to decline from that the year after it will be in serious trouble again.
Have you not heard Ben speak on them? It will be in no trouble at all, stop scare mongering. He's very pleased with BB's rating this year, and fully intends to renew in April (something Endemol seem to think he'll do again the time afterwards as well as they've renewed their planning permission for 5 years), while he'll no doubt like them to rise further, as long as they don't fall from where they are now, the show's fine. He expressed Friday that the show's around for the long haul.

I trust Ben to judge for himself what to do in April when the series for 2015 and 2016 are decided, though if he does keep the summer CBB, I do hope he at least creates a month's gap between the two to give BB breathing space.

[DigitalSid]

Not suprised ratings are low.. awful series so far

They're not, the first 2 nights were up on last year, the third up on the equivalent night last year, the only one down was last night, and that was the sunny bank holiday Sunday effect, check 'The Ratings Thread' on DS, everything at 9 was down.

Do they release them bank holidays? Can't remember, haven't followed ratings properly since June. The latest available from BARB are for the week ending the 11th:

Mon 5th - 1.79m (not inc+1*, assume 1.89m**)
Tue 6th - 1.99m
Wed 7th - 1.76m
Thu 8th - 1.92m (not inc+1*, assume 2.02m**)
Fri 9th - 2.03m
Sat 10th - 1.35m (not inc+1*, assume 1.45m**)
Sun 11th - 1.74m

* Outside the channel's top 10 so not available without subscription
** Lowest in the 5+1 top 10 was 123k, so +1 assumed 100k

Last week not as bad as we thought then - so that's everything up to finale night? Overall, BB14 was a good year for ratings! :dance:

No, the Monday before, don't know if you already had them can't remember the release schedule or bank holiday procedures for officials, bit out of the loop this series, and it's overnights that matter most to commercial channels, so what they got overnight is important.

Hello all, I am back from holiday, just been catching up BB/CBB and the ratings. Hoping last night could see a boost after the BH weekend.

[RichardG]

I'm really hoping they improved last night, BB14s ratings were such a good improvement on previous years that it would be a shame to see this series go and do badly.

[Samm]

Twitter said CBB got 1.72 million last night

[DigitalSid]

1.72m exl +1

[DigitalSid]

My guess is 1.9m with +1, was hoping for 2 but the sun and bank holiday continued to effect ratings across the board, at least it's bounched back as predicted, bank holiday's over now and it's back at 10 tonight so will hopefully reach 2m then.

[DigitalSid]

Under The Dome, BB and BOTS seperating programme got 1.26m excl +1.

Should be back up tonight

[*mazedsalv**]

Yeah agree. Hopefully it can climb to 2m in the next few days, the eviction is tomorrow, right? That should ensure a 2m+. CBB10 got 2.3m officially, so a 2m overnight would ensure that it matches it.

Isn't it up against the last GS today, quite ironic considering Charlotte would be on both shows :p

It'll be fine, Geordie Shore's a small MTV show, does well in the officials but from what I've seen (I've never watched it so don't follow it's ratings keenly) only rates slightly above BOTS in the overnights.

[*mazedsalv**]

Ratings so far:

Launch- 2.83m
Friday- 2.15m
Saturday- 1.64m
Sunday- 1.67m
Monday- 1.94m

Good bounce back last night, hoping it could be 2m tonight, doubt it, tomorrow should be 2m+ though.

[Gusto Brunt]

The problem is people still don't know about Channel 5 or where to find it. Stupid or what?

It's on par with CBB10. We shouldn't make comparisons to CBB9 and CBB11 because they were on in the winter.

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night remained exactly the same as Monday night despite it being on later. Last night got 1.94m incl +1. The share will be quite impressive. Around 11.5% I predict.

This rating should ensure tonight goes 2m+ for the eviction.

[*mazedsalv**]

Celebrity Big Brother: 1.79m (10.6%) / 1.95m (12.3%)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

How is everyone saying "good ratings"?

This is celeb BB and has only had 2 episodes hit over 2 million and that just launch and the next day.

Every other episode since has been under 2 million.

This is a flop in every which way for the amount of cash Channel 5 pay for these celebs.

You know they wont be happy having this show repeatedly under 2 million.

Hopefully it wont return next summer now, it wasn't needed and has took the shine off an incredibly successful civilian BB.

[Gusto Brunt]

BARB website tells you all. It's a method which is very accurate and how they have counted ratings for many, many years.

Thanks. I'll go there and have a look.

It's still actually on par with CBB10. CBB12 has beaten 2 CBB10 HL shows and CBB10 has beaten 2 CBB12 HL shows. 1.9m-2.0m overnight will equal the same as CBB10 as 2.3m official. The summer series will always be lower than the winter. The fact there has been no change to the same as last year is good. Also, last night was on at 10pm, so hopefully the upcoming evictions will be 2.0m-2.1m which will potentially beat some of CBB10 evictions.

CBB11 was a one off, but CBB13 should be compared to that, I don;t think CBB13 will average what CBB11 got, but CBB12 could beat CBB10.

[jackc1806]

Still think it should be above 2 million. Summer CBB shouldn't exist

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night's eviction got 2.04m incl +1.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last night's eviction got 2.04m incl +1.

Meh.

[*mazedsalv**]

Meh.

We can't expect CBB11 ratings, we just need to compare with CBB10, and seeing that it averaged 2m overnights, 2.3m official, it's around on par with it right now. Summer CBB is just wrong for ratings, winter CBB always does better.

Im not comparing it to CBB11.

Im just saying the ratings aren't that thrilling are they.

[*mazedsalv**]

No, but all summer CBB will be the same I think. Eg, CBB13 will be higher than this series and then CBB14 will be the same as this series or lower.

[MTVN]

Just means it'll be harder for them to get decent celebs for the summer series then, as long as they're not desperately in need of any exposure at all the best celebs will probably only want to go in during January or not at all

[daniel-lewis-1985]

No, but all summer CBB will be the same I think. Eg, CBB13 will be higher than this series and then CBB14 will be the same as this series or lower.

Yeah im aware of that.

Hopefully they see summer CBB is a waste of money after this year and cancel it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

These ratings are really close to the BB14 to be honest which looks very good for civilian Big Brother.

Shows regular folk can still pull in as many viewers as the celebrity version.

[Im_Juz_ChiLLin]

As i told everyone i am the expert in all BB material, CBB is a flop the master has spoken ;)

[*mazedsalv**]

Well it was a good sign it was the highest since Friday I guess, today will be under 2m again, but tomorrow should get 2.1m-2.2m as bigger characters are up.

The CBB ratings show how well BB14 did actually and how much of it's launch audience it held onto. BB14 launched with 2.13m and ended with 2.09m, virtually no drop, and averaged around 1.7m for evictions despite only launching with 2.1m. If CBB12 continued the same way and held onto over 80% of the launch during most of the show, CBB would be getting around 2.5m nightly.

So far:

Launch- 2.83m
Friday- 2.15m
Saturday- 1.64m
Sunday- 1.67m
Monday- 1.94m
Tuesday- 1.95m
Wednesday- 2.04m

Predictions is 1.92m tonight and 2.12m tomorrow.

[g17m]

It's hard to think the first ever episode of CBB on channel 5 peaked at 8 million compared to these sh*t figures

[Samm]

It's hard to think the first ever episode of CBB on channel 5 peaked at 8 million compared to these sh*t figures

It peaked at 8 million because I was the first episode since C4 got rid of it

[daniel-lewis-1985]

2.02.

1.78m (8.5%) at 9pm (245k/1.5%),

Literally these figures are so close to some BB14 episodes which im loving.

Shows Channel 5 that people are actually interested in the main show now.

Did come 2nd in its slot though beating BBC2, ITV and Channel 4.

It is nice to see them relatively close. Even if it is partly because CBB is down slightly.

[ahopkins]

I cross my fingers for a major drop in ratings everyday :sleep:

[RichardG]

I'll never understand why people want it to fail :nono:
I'd rather not have a summer CBB either but i'd hate for it to do terrible.

[jackc1806]

At least it's above 2 million

[*mazedsalv**]

It's good to see that a normal HL show got over 2m. Tonight 2.10m-2.15m?

[g17m]

I think about 2.1 tonight if we're lucky, there's quite a few big personalities up for eviction. Really p*sses me off that they dont give any BB series, regular or celebrity any *****ing advertising outside their own stuff, they could get much better ratings by actually letting a larger chunk of the population know the show is still on air!!

[SSL2012]

Big Ron got 2.4million inc +1 according to twitter

[CaudleHalbard]

If CBB doesn't do well we can say goodbye to civilian BB.

[Rob!]

Not a bad figure at all. Plus, it was an intense HLs, which should hold people's interest.

[DigitalSid]

Big Ron got 2.4million inc +1 according to twitter

Don't know where you got that from, it got 2.05m (1.93m exc +1).

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Don't know where you got that from, it got 2.05m (1.93m exc +1).

So we have yet to see 1 highlight show hit 2 million without plus 1 yet.

Apart from the 2nd highlight show which was live.

[Jake.]

It's averaging just slightly higher than CBB10 so far according to BBSpy

[g17m]

I seriously hope this is the last summer CBB, I am a huge fan of BB in general and would much rather wait from the end of civilian BB till january for the celeb version, especially this year as BB14 was one of the best series ever IMO, and it had no time to shine afterwards and got channel 5 it's best ever civilian ratings, i just hope that the dire CBB12 ratings don't make them decide to axe the show completely. Then on the other hand they get virtually ***** all viewers without BB so i doubt they will cancel it. Hopefully this finale can get 3 million officially

Frow has said that there's a good few years left in BB yet - but he doesn't want to rely on it too much. He's likely to get rid of the summer celeb series.

[SSL2012]

Like i stated, it was off twitter...not the most reliant ethier obviously.

Still, not a bad figure, just a pity it can't hit 2mil without +1.

[g17m]

that's because people dont know it's on, and rightly so with the non existent advertising

[Rob!]

No idea for BB but X factor got something like 9.2 and through the keyhole (which was against Big Brother)somehow managed 5.6.

[DigitalSid]

1.37m last night (1.22m without +1).

[Samm]

1.37m last night (1.22m without +1).

Well it is a saturday night

[Rob!]

Ouch.

[jackc1806]

Considering a peak of 10 million people watched the X Factor, that figure is vile. Axe summer CBB already

[daniel-lewis-1985]

BB14 Saturdays were even beating that.

Embarressing for a celeb one.

Its bitter sweet, Im enjoying watching the housemates so for their sake I don't want it to flop but on the other hand its got more of a chance of getting cancelled next summer which would be brilliant.

Pretty sure they're already contracted for one next year, but contract negotiations in March will decide for the two years after, so we should know in April if there will be a summer BB in 2015.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

What are the ratings like, I've only been catchup on the series over the weekend.

[*mazedsalv**]

1.96M last night. Shame it was down on the last few HL shows. But it was up on last Sunday's 1.67m. Weird how all of a sudden that Sunday's are no longer doing as well as the weekday/Friday shows anymore. It used to be one of the highest rated days.

It's going to be at around a 2m overnight and 2.3m official if it remains like this, the same as CBB10.

[*mazedsalv**]

Sorry, was a little wrong.

Last night got 1.99m inc +1

Bloody hell, so close to 2m!! Up 320k from last Sunday.

[Jake.]

Yeah, another 2.3 average then unless it massively changes.

[DigitalSid]

Xtra Factor probably, similar audience, very good figures for a digital show (usually, haven't checked it's ratings last night). At least it was up on last Sunday.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Whats Xtra factor got to do with last nights main show rating?

If you mean Xtra Factor would knock CBB' ratings then:

The Xtra Factor: 647k (2.7%) at 9pm

Bots does better than that. :dance:

[*mazedsalv**]

First bunch of officials are out!!

Launch- 3.18m including +1
Friday- 2.49m excluding +1
Saturday- 2.23m including +1
Sunday- 2.15m including +1

Friday around 2.60m incl +1 I would predict and that's great for a Saturday. The next batch of officials should be higher because Monday onwards did better than the Sat/Sunday.

[*mazedsalv**]

Celebrity BB recorded it's best audience since the launch show last night. 2.17m including +1. Surprises me a little :D

Odd night for it to reach it's highest non-launch rating of the series, but glad that it did. Wonder if it'll maintain that or if it's a fluke?

If you mean Xtra Factor would knock CBB' ratings then:

Similar 16-34 reality audience. I wasn't suggesting it dented it massively, because it's a because it wasn't dented massively, it was only down on the weeknight shows, it beat last Sunday, but it might explain where the 15k viewers it was short of the 2.05m highlights shows in the week went.

[Jake.]

1.84m (11.3%) at 10pm, plus 1 hasn't been reported then which means it was under 100K? Share is great..

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night's 9pm eviction show averaged 2.22m. The highest rating since the launch. That's great

We don't have the 11pm ratings yet.

[*mazedsalv**]

I knew the 11pm would be a problem... 1.33m (13.3%). Great share though.

Ch5 in full:

Eviction 9pm- 2.22m inc; +1
Wentworth- 1.36m incl +1
Eviction 11pm- 1.33m

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Awful for the second half.

Glad Wentworth Prison is doing so well.

[*mazedsalv**]

Awful for the second half.

Glad Wentworth Prison is doing so well.

Yeah, I don't know why they split the shows, it was a bad idea for the BB14 final and was a bad idea now. However, I hear that it was almost the top rated show of the 11pm slot, which doesn't surprise me. Nothing really does well that late on.

The first show did great though. 2.22m is good for the summer CBB version. I reckon tomorrow's eviction could get around the same, and lets not forget that yesterday was warm and the 9pm had the most competition that CBB has faced this series. CBB actually damaged a lot of ratings, including Whitechapel which came back with only 4.05m when I am sure it wad getting 6m overnights last year (over 7m officials).

In terms of share, Ch5 did brilliantly as a whole last night. But we really need ti tell them to stop with those pathetic 11pm shows... I am sure the officials will be quite high for that, it could timeshift to almost 2m!

[Jake.]

Great first rating, second is pretty rubbish but a decent share no doubt

[Samm]

Nice ratings

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.87 million

Celebrity Big Brother's latest episode entertained 1.49m (6.8%) at 9pm (380k/2.3%).

This is a flop for a CBB but brilliant that its now getting the same sort of figures BB14 were getting.

Actually getting lower ratings some nights.

Good plus 1 figure but unimpressive share for both.

Channel 4 slaughtered BB with Educating Yorkshire: 2.85m (12.9%) at 9pm

The Big Reunion: On Tour was only seen by 197k :o it did seem like a rushed cash in from the main series.

It's bad compared to every other series of CBB bar CBB10. I'm pretty sure, it is still beating CBB10. But one rating to look at is the +1, which shows how badly Educating Yorkshire hit CBB which got 3.3m incl +1!. Looks like they shared a lot of younger viewers.

Tonight will be 2.1m+ I reckon anyway.

[*mazedsalv**]

I hope the England match doesn't knock BB too much, I expect that to get around 6m.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.88 million including +1

Celebrity Big Brother scored 1.77m (8.3%), while a further 116k/0.8% caught the programme on +1.

Bit on the Side brought in 613k (5.2%) at 10.30pm

BOTS seems to be rating pretty low I know ive stopped watching it.

I thought CBB would get 1.50million because Football was on

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It's sad to go under 1.5m, but it is up 60k on last weeks 1.37m.

It hasn't had a very good week, a lot of things have kind of ruined the ratings in the last few days, including Educating Yorkshire and England matches. I'm hoping tonight could be back over 2m.

I just want it axed.

Its to much and this series just seems to be hollow and pointless.

We started off the year with the highest rated CBB averaging 2.81 and the final bringing in 3.61 million viewers which was massive for Channel 5.

Then the normal summer series became a surprise ratings/media hit and for the first time since 2010 highlight shows were weekly hitting over 2 million and older viewers were returning with eviction nights becoming events again as ratings showed.

The final then brought in 2.2 million which was almost 500,000 up on BB13's 1.7 million.

Without CBB12 this year would have been seen simply as the year Channel 5 had 2 hit shows on their hands and how BB managed to make a comeback.

Now we can expect headlines at the end of Summer BB's "CBB records lowest final ever" making people think the whole franchise is a flop.

For one year it would be nice to just have the January CBB and BB14 go out on a high and left to leave a lasting impression and hunger for more next year.

That's just my opinion though lol.

You mean the summer CBB axed? Not the entire CBB? lol. I agree if you mean the summer CBB. It has ruined the momentum of 2013 which has been an incredible year for BB in general and for Ch5 with both the CBB and BB series average getting their highest on Channel 5 (CBB11 actually beat CBB8 in rating by 10k in the officials, and BB14 being 300k up on both BB12 and BB13).

CBB12 is not too bad, but I am starting to think it may rate a tiny bit lower than CBB10. Not too sure though because judging by the first few ratings, the officials timeshifted a brilliant 500k-600k for the weekend shows.

I think this year the officials will save CBB12. We will see tomorrow when the next batch are released, I think the officials will end up being around the same as CBB10 (2.3m), if not, 2.2m. No lower than that.

But, in general, they must only have a winter CBB and then a summer BB. That's it. It would launch with more I think (especially CBB in the winter)

I want my 4 week January fix then the summer series back as the main event.

To be honest I think thats what will happen next year.

Summer BB should stay at 10 weeks still though just like BB3 and BB5 were as it can get stail.

No more overkill.

Tbh I'm not surprised at the ratings, I don't think this series has been that great, I feel the celebs really don't want to be there, it just feels like a job to them.

1.90m incl +1 last night, shame it's under 2m, but it will hit that this week.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Wonder what todays officials will be.

[*mazedsalv**]

Officials are out:

Monday- 2.51m incl +1
Tuesday- 2.53m incl +1
Wednesday- 2.32m incl +1
Thursday- 2.52m incl +1
Friday- 2.28m excl +1
Saturday- 1.89m incl +1
Sunday- 2.50m incl +1

Some great ratings there, especially for Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Weird to think that the evictions were lower than all the other shows, bar Saturday.

All those 2.5m are higher than anything CBB10 got bar launch :shocked: Even higher than the final (2.41m).

[Jake.]

Great officials!

[Nedusa]

It's sad to see the ratings for both BB & CBB decline over the years, I guess the format does become tired no matter how the producers try to spice it up year after year. also the appetite for reality TV has fallen after its heyday about a decade ago.

And the CBB series well that is suffering from being on too often and not having really well known and high calibre Celebrities. the now usual smatterings of Z listers with a few almost complete unknowns in there definitely has not helped.

I wonder at what stage the show will be cancelled, I wonder what the minimum viewing figures would be needed to keep the sponsors and advertisers happy ?

1.5M or 1M perhaps as low as 750,000...... a big drop from it's Heyday when it used to get 4 or 5 Million viewers (or more).

I have loved the show in all it's formats since it started and hope it carry's on for a few more years but not at the expense of the format, I want a show that still resembles the social experiment set up all those years ago....!!!!

[Samm]

Good ratings

1.5M or 1M perhaps as low as 750,000...... a big drop from it's Heyday when it used to get 4 or 5 Million viewers (or more).

I have loved the show in all it's formats since it started and hope it carry's on for a few more years but not at the expense of the format, I want a show that still resembles the social experiment set up all those years ago....!!!!


Welll.....my guess would be if it is regularly hitting under a million. Ben Frow has been quoted as saying that the likelihood is that BB will be put out at 11 before it's cancelled, plus he basically implied that he didn't want to make the same mistake C4 did and not have anything to replace it.
It's nowhere near cancelling time yet - Frow's made it clear he's happy with the show as it is, BB14 did fantastically, hopefully getting new and old viewers.
Having said that, I wouldn't be surprised if he dumps the Summer CBB - in fact I'd be delighted. Leave them wanting more - IAC still hits 10 million in the ratings and that's 3 weeks a year, nothing more, nothing less.

1.99 inc +1

1.99 inc +1

So close to 2m! That will time shift to around 2.4m anyway.

Under The Dome- 1.13m incl +1. Not too good considering it launched with over 2m didn't it?

Blackout at 9pm on Ch4 got 1.77m incl +1, so good to see CBB beat that, and also beat BBC2.

[Jake.]

Very close! Still, this series seems to be time shifting well, and officially I wouldn't be surpised if it averaged a bit more than CBB10

[*mazedsalv**]

1.93m incl +1 for last night in the 10pm slot. It got around a 12% share which is impressive!

[Jake.]

Great for 10PM!

[Rob!]

I can't believe it's all over on Friday. Hope the final does well.

[Samm]

Great ratings for yesterday

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night got 2.21m incl +1. Very good sign for Friday's final. That 2.21m is the third highest rating this series, just behind launch and last Wednesday which got just 10k extra at 2.22m.

[Jake.]

Good rating, can see tomorrow hopefully beating that for the first part of the final

[Rob!]

Great rating for last night :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Not to shabby.

Its a well known thing now that summer CBB doesnt rate that well compared to January.

I still think its a waste of money and still kind of want it to fail.

Its bitter sweet.

I love it when the winter CBB does well but resent summer CBB so much.

According to Tellymix...

"The latest series of Celebrity Big Brother 2013 ended to some disappointing viewing figures last night.


Around 1.7 million viewers watched who won Celebrity Big Brother 2013 in the second of the night’s show, which aired at 11PM.

An average audience of 2.2 million watched the final instalment from the house and first results from 9PM on Channel 5.

But 500,000 fewer cared about actually seeing who won between the final two, as ratings dived for the later show.

And those figures include those who caught up later using Channel 5′s catchup service.

Overall, this year’s Celebrity Big Brother was pretty much in line with last summer’s series, with an average audience of around 2 million viewers.

Elsewhere on last night’s telly, and Channel 5′s new reality series Celebrity Superspa, started with 1.1 million inbetween the two Big Brother episodes at 10PM.

Everyone knew this failing generation voted for Charlotte to win. So what was the point of tuning back.

[thom_bombadil]

Everyone knew this failing generation voted for Charlotte to win. So what was the point of tuning back.

Was it for this reason? Or was it because Channel 5 have Big Brother on pretty much all year and people are getting sick to death of it?

I think the latter, tbh. The producer's team needs a serious revamp.

[Jemal]

Lets be honest my reason makes sense imo.
Everyone knew Charlotte was going to win lol.
It wasnt like big brother 14 were Sam and Dexter were head to head and anything could of literally happened there. So people tuned in interestingly to see who was gonna win.
But with Charlotte and abz (bless him) every single person knew who had won lol. So what was the point.

[thom_bombadil]

I didn't think Charlotte would win. I thought it would be Abz or Lauren. It shouldn't be separated for DIRE shows like that Celebrity superspa. The last part was on too late, and BB has been on far too much these past few years.

If Channel 5 had any respect for the show, they would give it a break for a while now. The focus should be on the show itself, they shouldn't be exploiting it to pull in ratings for other shows. It's suffering for it.

[Gstar]

The final shouldn't be seperated. It worked on channel 4 but not now

I couldn't have been less interested when they were down to the final two so didn't bother.

[anne666]

I agree. It was ridiculous, rushed, so little content and many switched off ! that speaks for itself.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So the 1st show only rated slightly higher than BB14 and the 2nd half rated lower? :)

Goodbye Summer CBB and well done normal BB you finally proved you are a force to be reckoned with.

[Matt]

Has anyone got the ratings for the 8.30pm-9pm countdown show?

[RichardG]

The ratings were down in the second show because of the stupid hours break, it was the same with BB14 - that second show was down too. Splitting the final by any length is annoying enough but an hour? Casuals won't wait that long.

Even if they do go ahead and cancel summer BB (might not happen, CBB10's ratings weren't as good as the winter editions either) I hope that doesn't mean they stretch out regular BB for a longer run. For me, my perfect schedule would be a 3 week winter CBB and a 6 week summer BB. Keep things short and quick, stop throwing series after series at us and maybe people will be a little more interested again. I didn't even watch most of CBB12 because I couldn't be bothered with it.

[SSL2012]

C5 will still be happy, it got good ratings for the channel.

But I agree scrape the summer cbb. It's the only chance Ben Frow has at keeping the show fresh and if anything continue to increase the ratings/share of the show and channel.

I'd rather have just the 1 cbb in January hitting around 3million + officially, and a summer bb getting 2million.

Then two cbb's, both damaging the other in ratings, and potentially hurting the normal format of bb.
With Emma Willis now the host of the voice, I wouldn't be surprised if bb gets a small boost of the back of that.

Anyone got the ratings of the 8:30pm countdown show and bbots at 11:35 please.

[Matt]

Anyone got the ratings of the 8:30pm countdown show and bbots at 11:35 please.

BOTS had 711,000 viewers (10.1%) excluding +1

Latest CBB official ratings:

Monday 2nd - 2.671m

Saturday 7th - 1.73m (exc +1)
Sunday 8th - 2.343m

Also, still not found any overnight figures for Friday's final countdown show on its own, but according to Broadcast the countdown and the first part of the final (i.e. 8.30pm-10.00pm) averaged 2.2million (10.3%)

Some decent officials there!

[Samm]

not bad officials

[Jake.]

Good officials!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So the current CBB12 average is 2.4 against last years 2.2.

Thissummer saw both BB and CBB increase in ratings which is good and im sure January CBB will be pretty massive again for Chanel 5.

BB14 officially averaged 1.9 including all the missing +1' god damn it lol.

So close to 2 million.

So yeah CBB did improve slightly but not enough to warrant bringing it back next summer.

Lets wait for the final officials though.

[Jake.]

Tbh if 2.2 million for CBB10 was good enough for it to be carried on for another series, I doubt that Channel 5 will be jump at the chance of getting rid of summer CBB with a risen average.. will have to see how the rest of the officials pan out, good year for BB/CBB in general though

I think the 1.9m for BB14 WAS including all possible +1. With a lot of the +1 missing, BB14 officially averaged 1.82m, but Ch5 released a statement saying it averaged 1.9m so they must have made an estimate or have the missing +1 numbers (but haven't released them to us).

And I thought CBB10 got 2.3m not 2.2m? But anyway, it's so far on 2.4m with 1 week of officials left to go, it should remain at that, or go a tiny bit higher as the last eviction double and final would bring it up (as both shows probably got around 2.6m).

Another thing, Broadcast is saying that the 2.2m is for the 8:30pm-10pm slot for the final, so the 30 mins being included may have brought it down because I doubt many tuned in for the 8:30pm-9pm. So, maybe that got around 1.5m, but the ACTUAL 9pm-10pm averaged around 2.5m-2.6m?

[Jake.]

Officials today?

[*mazedsalv**]

Monday- 2.48m
Tuesday- 2.34m
Wednesday- 2.53m
Thursday- 2.08m
Friday Part 1- 2.59m
Friday Part 2- 2.09m (excl +1)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Monday- 2.48m

Friday Part 2- 2.09m (excl +1)

They really need to stop splitting the finale nights by wedging in some random new show because its killings interest and ratings.

Part 2 of CBB12 lost around half a million! They cant be pleased with that.

Seriously 500k! to make way for Celeb Super Spa which most episodes actually ended up getting 500k or under each night.

What bugged me most was the fact that the BB14 final was building momentum peaking at 2.5 at 10pm then they cut it off for an hour for Under The Dome.

The BB14 finale could have easily got a 2.5 in officials if it wasn't for the stupid decision to split it in 2.

I agree with everything you just said. It's ridiculous how they keep doing this. Both the BB14 finales and CBB12 finals would have averaged much more if it was on for 1h 30 mins running as normal in one show.

They just wanted to save Superspa which debuted low and ended up incredibly low anyway!

So the 2 part finales for both series...

BB14:
Part 1- 2.20m excl +1
Part 2- 1.96m excl +1

CBB12-
Part 1- 2.59m incl +1
Part 2 -2.09m excl +1

BB14 did fantastically well in comparison to BB13. Even Part 2 was around 300k higher than the earlier BB13 final. And to think that BB14 started with 2.35m on Launch Night #1 officially.

[Matt]

Also, official rating for the 8.30pm-9pm countdown show was 1.15million (exc +1)

Hope they avoid clashing with the soaps during next summer's CBB... clearly doesn't work for them

[Jake.]

Good officials, shame about the part two of the final
