The BB15 Ratings Thread

[ruiphillips]

It will never go under 1 Million, the audience for Big brother is much higher

It did in 2012

[Cal.]

It did in 2012

It was **** in 2012 you can tell.

[mrmattybeck1]

Question is will viacom renew bbuk or just cbb I can see it being the later

[Iceman]

Yes, a lot of households would have watched the footy rather than BB because of the fans in the house. If you have a husband and wife and the husband always lets the wife watch BB but one night the football is on, generally the husband gets to watch the football because the wife always watches BB. Just an example.
I get that but to make excuses for BB because something else is on tv isnt on. Its hardly as if it had a drop off of 3-4 million....its a shame too hough because his year has potential.

Saying it never will and it just has = logic

Apparently civilian BB needs to be part of the deal because they won't re-build a house that's only going to be on-screen 18 days at a time.

[Samm]

It just did go under 1 million :joker: It will be against football dozens of times throughout the summer too

I know but it will never go under a Million without the football, C5 have made different time slots for Big brother to save it from a clash

[Samm]

Saying it never will and it just has = logic

If it didn't have a Football clash

[Iceman]

Well then its gonna be under a million for about 3 weeks because of the world cup...

[Samm]

It did in 2012

Because of the olympics

[Samm]

Well then its gonna be under a million for about 3 weeks because of the world cup...

No, C5 have changed the time slots for Big brother so it won't clash on most days

[Jemal]

Great ratings

[ruiphillips]

It was **** in 2012 you can tell.

A currently it is **** now

http://uploadir.com/u/angfu1qt

They need some drama or fight to happen to get viewers tuning in, instead of watching Football.

It's got great housemates now. The drama is coming naturally instead of being manufactured by producers this series.

Surely in 2014 theres more than 1 tv in a house so everyone should be able to watch anything they want?

Terrible rating especially when its so early on but I have a feeling it will pick up again tonight and settle around 1.3/4 nightly.

[JohnnyBB]

Big brother shouldnt have went under a million last night this is all im saying.
@TVRatingsUK: #EngvHon peaked at 10 with 7.42m, then dropped to 5.2m during the delay. Figures then rose to 7.4m again, before settling between 5 and 6m.

Make of that what you want but i dont think it should of went below a million there was plenty of veiwers around watching last night.

[mrmattybeck1]

Lots of excuses but thats a terrible rating

Yes that's true.

[Samm]

Lots of excuses but thats a terrible rating

It is, because it clashed with football, it will rise over the week

don't know about it going up tonight what does soccer aid usually get

[ruiphillips]

Soccer Aid got 4.5 million last year

[Headie]

Wait what's the rating for last night then or are we just basing it off a rumour on DS?

[Luke Patton*]

Wasn't it like 950,000 INC +1???

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Wait what's the rating for last night then or are we just basing it off a rumour on DS?

952k incl +1

[Raph]

I was predicting this when talking to my dad. Doesn't surprise me for two reasons - it's a Saturday and I think a lot of people were turned off by the amount of models and semi-celebrities who went into the house.

[Headie]

952k incl +1

I'm sure it'll pick up, other C5 shows usually only get that on a regular basis so there's still hope for BB to get renewed

[Luke Patton*]

Peoples viewing habits are changing ALOT, I'd expect a big increase with the officials. The rating isn't great for a 3rd show in, but I'm probably going to predict a BB10 scenario where it grew throughout the series.

[Will.]

I think it will be a great series! As people have said, the drama is coming naturally and theres quite a few different personalities. We have already heard and seen alliance form, so the house should explode real soon. I definitely feel the ratings will grow. And the twists are pretty shocking and refreshing this year.

[Samm]

Soccer Aid got 4.5 million last year

oh that's not that bad, BB will be still effected imo

[Samm]

I think a lot of people were turned off by the amount of models and semi-celebrities who went into the house.

Ummm BB7 had more models

[Samm]

I'm sure it'll pick up, other C5 shows usually only get that on a regular basis so there's still hope for BB to get renewed

I agree with this, It only got bad ratings because of the football clash, I'm sure it will pick as the weeks goes on

[RichardG]

Terrible :laugh: hopefully it will pick up but regardless, I can't see this series reaching the peaks of BB14.

[Loukas]

Hopefully it will pick up, it has all the right ingredients for a fantastic series

[JohnnyBB]

Theres only 950k hardcore veiwers that would go out there way to watch the show.

[Samm]

Somebody from C5 commented on the Ratings

A spokesman for Channel 5 said today: “We are pleased with the very strong performance of the show across the two launch nights.”

If there happy with it then it's fine, I've looked at C5's viewing figures for most there programs and there peak is usually 1.7 in most of there programs so I'm not worried at all with it being axed

However, I'd imagine that BB costs much more to produce than their other shows do, so consistent low ratings under 1m could be a problem if they know they can make other ones for far cheaper with just slightly lower viewing figures than BB.

It went under 1 Million because of the Football, how many time do I have to say it :laugh:

[*mazedsalv**]

It seems poor, BB14 never went that low, buy BB12-BB13 went lower. Also, a positive sign is that it actually beat BBC2 and CH4 and came 3rd in its slot, for Ch5 to do that is quite impressive on a Saturday especially, so I wouldn't worry too much.

1.3m tonight?

[jackc1806]

Around that yeah

[Samm]

ffs it's against Soccer aid tonight

Ah did it? That changes a lot then in my view. If it beat two other channels, with one showing "important football" and the other being BBC1, then there's little to worry about at this stage in my opinion.

C4 got lower than 500K last night :hehe:

[Rob!]

C4 got lower than 500K last night :hehe:

Serves them right for beating the second launch. :devil:

[RichardG]

It went under 1 Million because of the Football, how many time do I have to say it :laugh:

It wasn't against football on Friday (afaik) but the ratings were still low given that it's a launch episode. All I was saying is that in the event the ratings are consistently low all series regardless of whether or not it's against football, then it could be a possibility C5 look at it from the angle of how much it costs to produce vs the returns they receive. That's all, I wasn't basing the entire comment on last nights figures.

However, BB12s ratings were terrible but they still renewed the contract so you never know I guess. :shrug:

[JohnnyBB]

If raitings slump under a million again tonight theyll be some serious troubel!

[Rob!]

It surely won't... Sundays are normally pretty good. 1.30 maybe?

[emmetmcl]

I'd imagine it'll get around 1.4 for Sunday night.

[Cal.]

Hoping for a big increase.

[Josy]

Saw someone on DS say this

DD got 1.6million.
I'm guessing BB got around 1.4million.

Not sure how trustworthy that is or where the got the info..

[Jake.]

DD did really well

[Will.]

Hope it got over 1.3 M, about 1.4M would be good.

[Josy]

What is it Jake?

[Jake.]

What is it Jake?

What's what?

[Josy]

DD?

[Jake.]

DD?

Dirty Dancing

[Josy]

Oh ffs :facepalm: thanks

Don't know why people just cant type the whole thing tbh

[Jake.]

:laugh:

[Jake.]

1.5 for BB!!

[Josy]

1.5 for BB!!

Yay!!

[*mazedsalv**]

1.50m incl +1 for BB. Nice boost! Actually, its pretty much completely the same as BB14 first Sunday which got 1.51m.

[jackc1806]

Brilliant, higher than a lot of BB14!

Could rise tonight too

[Jake.]

BBC1: Drama Quirke dipped to 3.2m (15.2%) at 9pm.

BBC2: Wildfires 2014 interested 1.3m (5.8%) at 9pm

ITV: 3.9 million (19.7%) on average from 6pm for Soccer Aid

Channel 4: Fargo with 1.2m (5.2%) at 9pm (106k/0.7%).

On Channel 5: Big Brother continued with 1.3m (5.6%) at 9pm (202k/1.2%).

[Jake.]

So third in its slot

[Drew.]

Considering what it was up against thats pretty good.

[Rob!]

Thank **** for that. It was a very good episode as well. It's got bugger all competition tonight, so hopefully should do well. :)

[Jake.]

Guaranteed you won't be seeing many articles about how BB has risen half a million viewers from the night before, all just too negative these days :p

[Josy]

Good point.

You should post one on our front page, chop chop.

[*mazedsalv**]

Thank **** for that. It was a very good episode as well. It's got bugger all competition tonight, so hopefully should do well. :)

Agree, but in the last couple of years, Sundays are the highest rated day after Fridays. But anyway, last years first Monday got 1.42m, so it could beat that.

[Loukas]

Guaranteed you won't be seeing many articles about how BB has risen half a million viewers from the night before, all just too negative these days :p

Was just about to say this :tongue:
That's a great increase, it deserves to rise even more!!

[Black Dagger]

Aww I am glad, people should know that it's going to dip at times during the world-cup, it's inevitable. But if it can stay steady at around 1.4/5/6 most nights, then great stuff.

[mrmattybeck1]

That's more like it should rise again tonight as well

[MeMyselfAndI]

This is going to be the lowest rated big brother ever

[Vladimir]

I'm so glad it did well last night!

[Jake.]

Yes

Bastard

[*mazedsalv**]

This is going to be the lowest rated big brother ever

Really? Because last night was on par with BB14 first Sunday. Maybe it won't rate at 1.9m official like last year (1.48m overnights), but BB12-BB13 got 1.6m official (around 1.2-1.3m average overnights).

[Pronshi]

Okay 1.5 million. That's a build-able number.
Now if we can keep a steady 1.1-1.7 per episode in overnight.
I am sure drama can EASILY build that figure.

[Samm]

That's brilliant since it was up against Soccer aid

[Samm]

This is going to be the lowest rated big brother ever

It's just been against some big programs so far, it will get better imo

[Brother Leon]

Maybe the whole "people want to see normal people" reason for the low figure last time can stop. The people generally aren't like the forums and if anything want to see "Sexy models" etc. It's going to bomb next to the football, but so is everything else.

[MeMyselfAndI]

BB3, BB7 & BB11 didn't bomb next to the world cup, theres no reason for this season to

[Jake.]

BB3, BB7 & BB11 didn't bomb next to the world cup, theres no reason for this season to

BB11 hardly did fantastic for its last series, and back then BB was event television... if it was still grabbing 4-5 million viewers per night then I'd agree with you

[Drew.]

Majority of the evening games kick off at 8pm and 11pm so if they stick to a 10pm slot then it won't do too bad.

[Brother Leon]

BB3, BB7 & BB11 didn't bomb next to the world cup, theres no reason for this season to

You can't compare 3 and 7 to now and 11 wasn't great considering it was the final C4 BB.

[Jake.]

Channel 5 had both Dirty Dancing (7th) and BB (9th) within the top ten most viewed programs last night

[jackc1806]

Channel 5 had both Dirty Dancing (7th) and BB (9th) within the top ten most viewed programs last night

That's pretty good

[daniel-lewis-1985]

But they had a much higher launch figure.

Brilliant its clawed back half a million viewers :) I personally didn't enjoy the episode but im glad the ratings are up.

Hopefully tonight should rate well with the twist and noms should be a dramatic episode.

[DigitalSid]

Bad first few nights but good to see it's recovering quickly, hopefully they can build on that from here.

[Locke.]

The calm before the storm, down to 500k soon

[Cal.]

Guaranteed you won't be seeing many articles about how BB has risen half a million viewers from the night before, all just too negative these days :p

They are, it's like they're hoping BB gets cancelled. :p

[JohnnyBB]

With tonights events i susspect a growth in raitings!!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Tomorrow will get good +1 ratings, Twitter will go mental over the argument and from the clips shown on BOTS its a big'un.

[jackc1806]

Didn't the Daley aftermath get 1.7m overnight? Imagine if we got that again :o

[Samm]

The Daley thing got like 1.9 didn't it

[Jake.]

Tomorrow will get good +1 ratings, Twitter will go mental over the argument and from the clips shown on BOTS its a big'un.

Yeah, hopefully word of mouth will give it a good boost... this looks like one of the best arguments in a long time

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yeah, hopefully word kf mouth will give it a good boost... this looks like one of the best arguments in a long time

Its a ****ing brutal argument if they show it as it is Helen will be causing a lot of people to pick up their phones to get in touch with Ofcom.

#Standard.

I'm actually suprised, I knew something was bubbling but I didn't think it would be so... nasty

[JohnnyBB]

That awkward moment live suprise raits higher than the main show!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That awkward moment live suprise raits higher than the main show!

Shame it didn't kick off till after the break.

Break ends and all of a sudden theres 2 crazy women in the kitchen calling each other slags and fat bitches unedited lol.

No bird noise or anything, it was classic live feed.

Cant wait for the argument and hopefully people will tune into it tomorrow to see what happened. There was loads of "omg BB why did you turn live feed off when it was just getting good?!?!?!" Tweets.

They should have extended it and should always extend it to an hour when theres a big twist.

[Rob!]

High hopes for tonight. There wasn't really anything to stand in BB's way of coming second in the slot throughout.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Woah major competition for the first eviction!!!

Up against Match Of The Day and Coronation Street!

[Rob!]

Woah major competition for the first eviction!!!

If ever there was a time to unban the ill monkey picture.

[*mazedsalv**]

1.22m :(

Don't know why the big drop from Sunday.

[Iceman]

Oh well....

[Will.]

So what did BB get and what did the live surprise get yesterday?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.22?! WTF!

I was expecting it to be around 1.6 again to be honest but its lost 300k overnight again. Are these viewers bipolar?

So that 1.22 is including +1 yeah? Whats the overnight without?

This is the number last years Saturdays were getting or less than actually I think last years Saturdays were getting 1.3/1.4 weren't they?

[@bbuk_fans]

Live surprise got 1m

[Iceman]

Channel 5's Big Brother: Power Trip entertained 1.0m (4.7%) at 9pm (188k/1.2%), followed by a live special with 1.0m (6.1%) at 10pm (197k/2.1%).

[*mazedsalv**]

Live Surprise got 1.20m. Extremely stable for the live feed then.

1.18m for the HLs was the full slot, tapechecked was 1.22m.The 1.22m looks low but the 1.20m looks quite good in comparison for the live reveal, and hopefully those people will come back tonight for the fallout.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

OMG 1.0!

This is such a bad rating without +1 it was close to dropping below 1 million on a Monday night.

Tonight it really needs to bounce back or we are looking at ratings settling at 1.0 to 1.3 I think for the duration.

[Iceman]

See I dont think it will bounce back....the thing with daley last year was that it was widely reported on sites and tv...I havent seen amything about tonight yet...

[mrmattybeck1]

Its not going to go much higher anyway what are you expecting cbb is the much bigger show now

[mrmattybeck1]

Decent rating the Beckham documentry got 4.6m

[mrmattybeck1]

Think bbuk will be cancelled fpr good now wont return

[*mazedsalv**]

Tonight will be around 1.4m I reckon but it won't go higher than that unless its for evictions. A lot of Twitter/Facebook speak about the row, so maybe it will help, not sure though.

[*mazedsalv**]

Think bbuk will be cancelled fpr good now wont return

Unless BB15 officially averages under 1.2m. I don't see this happening. It's still continuously CH5 highest rated show. Like, why would BBC2 cancel Top Gear, or ITV cancel X Factor/IAC? Or Sky Atlantic take off Game of Thrones?

[Iceman]

I dont think they would cancel a show on a shakey start. ..

Big Brother is an expensive show, so expensive even ITV pulled out. These ratings are low and other shows on Channel 5 beat this easily even another showing of Dirty Dancing brought in 1.6 the other night.

Ice Road Truckers, The Hotel Inspector, Cowboy Builders all rate above 1 million as do Channel 5 documentaries.

For a show that takes so much man hours to give such an average return I cant see it being renewed.

If they did renew it kill me now but a 13 week CBB would be a huge ratings hit imo. Januarys was epic and the fact most of these are pretty much on a level of some of the CBB contestants anyway whats the difference?

Celeb BB is allways full of unknowns and they are usually the best housemates.

People are just bored of watching so called wannabes, its gonna be a sad day if they cancel it but I would be well up for a summer long CBB. I know that's going to be a very unpopular opinion on the forums but after the legends of Louisa ect I wouldn't be disappointed at all.

[Iceman]

once the world cup starts then its gonna struggle
I dont even think it will struggle. I reckon it will get demolished.

[Josy]

They will be expecting a massive drop in the ratings due to the world cup though..

I think it will recover, sometimes the show has a few blips and drops. It will average around the same as BB12-BB13. Bear in mind that a lot of BB14 first week got 1.2m-1.3m, and then by Week 5 it was averaging 1.5m overnights. It will go up and down for sure. I think the live reveal rating is quite telling, it didn't even budge, and that consistency could help it. It will get around 1.3-1.4m tonight which is the average BB14 was averaging in the first 3 weeks.

Oh c'mon it was Monday night and the highlights at 9PM only averaged 1.0 which is worrying.

That should have got 1.3 atleast without plus 1 and you know it lol I know its hard to admit.

With the world cup approaching the only way this is going is down and if the ratings stay like this even then im thinking its going to rate lower than BB12/13.

[*mazedsalv**]

Also, I think people need to remember about the World Cup can do the opposite effect.

Firstly, a lot of the matches won't clash with BB (I will watch most matches, but will only watch Italy if they clash with BB), and secondly, does anyone remember BB13? It was quite interesting that whenever BB faced a match (which wasn't England), the ratings for BB actually increased. I guess it's the sort of, "Anything but Euro/World Cup" mentality. One of the first matches of Euro 2012 averaged over 7m, but BB13 managed 1.6m if I remember correctly (up from the 1.2m from the previous day).

If timeshift adds as much as BB14 (over 400k) then I don't it will be a problem. The overnights would need to average 1.2m to match BB12-BB13. And the producers have lower expectations because of the world cup, which is why the producers expected the ratings for BB13 to be lower than BB12 and BB14 (which was the case for BB14 but not BB12).

[@bbuk_fans]

They renewed it when before the start of BB13, which didn't do as well as last year. C5 know they have a tough year with the world cup, wimbledon etc. These events will obviously rate higher.

BB is the reason why Channel 5 is making profit and it brings in a totally new audience that the channel didn't have before, which arguably is the most important audience of them all, the 16-34's.

Yes, its an expensive show, don't see why they would chuck something that brings in that audience and is there flagship show.

Im expecting big timeshifts, officials from people watching online ect but that even though that makes the ratings higher it doesn't equate to Channel 5 making money does it?

They only really make money when people are voting and that's usually on eviction nights so for people catching up a day or 2 later on demand then they don't contribute anything financially.

I cant believe this first eviction is up against the football and Corrie.

[mrmattybeck1]

I dont even think it will struggle. I reckon it will get demolished.wow do u even like bb why would you want it to be demolished

[daniel-lewis-1985]

ppl like to overreact its doing about the same as bb12

Which was seen as a flop.

Yet BB12 launched to 600k more viewers and the final rated decently with 2.1 aswell.

[@bbuk_fans]

But BB12 launched to 600k more viewers and the final rated decently with 2.1 aswell.

Yes, its an expensive show, don't see why they would chuck something that brings in that audience and is there flagship show.finally someone speaks some sense :)

[Josy]

Im expecting big timeshifts, officials from people watching online ect but that even though that makes the ratings higher it doesn't equate to Channel 5 making money does it?

They only really make money when people are voting and that's usually on eviction nights so for people catching up a day or 2 later on demand then they don't contribute anything financially so they.

I cant believe this first eviction is up against the football and Corrie.

They make good money from advertisers though?

One of the info packs had a list of the advertisers this year, they are using Microsoft tablets for a kick off, then there's another big company providing the toiletries for the house can't remember who it is..

Then the advertising during the breaks will be bringing in some decent cash too.

[@bbuk_fans]

Viacom is a multi million dollar company so definitely will be able to afford it.

[Iceman]

wow do u even like bb why would you want it to be demolished
Of course I like it. Im simply stating if it's getting 1million now I dont see how that can be sustained with one of the biggest sporting events in the world on....

I know, how ridiculous about them facing that. Fair enough for the footie, but Corrie too! Jesus.

[@bbuk_fans]

Yes it will rate pretty low, but to be honest, they have no other choice but to schedule it then. The show has to go post watershed and audience restricts at elstree only allow them to be there until a certain time. Only way around it would be to pre-record it and air it at a different time. But theres no way people would be happy about that.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im praying tonight does well.

Im guessing a 1.2 then with word of mouth usually a big plus 1 figure but that wont be on till 11pm.

It really does have a lot against it this year doesn't it lol if BB13 could get a 1.6 average whilst the Olympics were on heres hoping we can atleast match that but after the success of CBB in January and BB14 I think we were all expecting 1.5+ per highlights.

Theres definitely going to be another "gate" and quite a big one I imagine with Helen. I can see her getting violent or there being a serious bullying scandal and as bad as that sounds im hoping for it for the coverage it will get lol.

[JohnnyBB]

It nearlly went below a million on a monday night, the fact is the shows in serious trouble this year :(

[Kai Anders]

Don't get me wrong, I love this series, but I feel like it's more suited to the time at 10pm at ALL times! The later it's on the better the share in viewing. So the numbers of viewers may be less but the number watching TV is much higher for the show. Take last night. On +1 the live feed section had a much higher share than with the highlights section.

I get that ratings are apparently 'bad'.. But the share for Channel 5 annually is around 3.9% to 4.2% and even with BB getting these 'bad' ratings, it's still several percent above its share, which is very respectable!

I feel like many people aren't watching purely because they do want to watch it at that time, all my friends prefer other shoes and simply watch it on demand the day after.. It seems to be the show people still love and adore, but view it when they want to. So who knows, maybe the demand services will provide money for the channel.. Which leads me to think, yes it's getting tried but surely they'd keep it.

A year or so ago, the commissioner of C5 stated 'we wouldn't get rid of BB because it isn't as successful as CBB, maybe we'll change the time it's on. You don't get rid of something this big without following up something to replace it'

I'm not sure what you think but I think ratings are still fair, CBB averaged 3 million in its official ratings.. Great when you consider most shows on C5 struggle to break the million viewer mark, which even BB has done every time bar 1 night so far.. Give it time!

Long live BB!

[Jake.]

Ngl, pretty disappointed... however, the live feed done pretty good

[Jarrod]

ppl like to overreact its doing about the same as bb12

Says you who just posted that it'll be cancelled for sure?

[Jarrod]

They make good money from advertisers though?

One of the info packs had a list of the advertisers this year, they are using Microsoft tablets for a kick off, then there's another big company providing the toiletries for the house can't remember who it is..

Then the advertising during the breaks will be bringing in some decent cash too.

They're using loads of product placements this series. Even that ginger beer is a product placement.

[mrmattybeck1]

Says you who just posted that it'll be cancelled for sure?it probably will be through I still enioy it but cant see it staying

[Rob!]

I mean... There's really nothing you can say to that. It wasn't up against anything substantial so this shouldn't have happened. Where did it come in it's slot?

[JohnnyBB]

Just face facts none can be assed watching this horrible lot.

1M with no competition.

Yeah. I figured after she got The voice that this year would be her last. If it does come back next year then people need to be prepared for Rylan. Emma hasn't even tweeted once about the show since the second launch night.

[Iceman]

I see BB as her hobby now not a job....

Just seen - it came last in the 9pm slot.

Not great for the first show, but made up for by the retention for the second.

[Samm]

It's not that bad, It's going to be one off those series when the ratings go up and down

[Samm]

it probably will be through I still enioy it but cant see it staying

no :unsure:, Why would they axe there most talked about and viewed show, I'm getting sick of people saying it will be axed all the time

[Rob!]

It's not that bad, It's going to be one off those series when the ratings go up and down

The issue is there was no reason why it should have come last in it's slot last night. There wasn't any notable competition, and Mondays aren't normally terrible ratings wise. If it can't hold up now, the world cup is going to really cause it issues. It's annoying because BB12 for the most part deserved terrible ratings - this series doesn't.

I'm hoping, the Officials will boost the ratings

I just want a renewal contract to get signed, It ends at the end of the Summer Celeb series so it must be soon

[Samm]

There was some competition last night tbh, BBC One had a David Beckham documentary on what got 4.8m last night

[Rob!]

I cant believe this first eviction is up against the football and Corrie.

I don't think voting is BBs main money making not now anyway, surely hardly anyone votes anymore. I am sure the money is made with the higher amount they charge for ads that are in the same slot as Big Brother because more viewers will be tuned in.

[*mazedsalv**]

The HL show came last in its slot, but bear in mind that the Live Surprise came 3rd in its slot.

[Cal.]

Hopefully the live surprise gaining more than HLS may persuade them to get more live feed.

[Rob!]

Live feed doing better than the mains show. Awks.

[Iceman]

Hopefully the live surprise gaining more than HLS may persuade them to get more live feed.
I doubt it with the main show not doing too great...

[Jamesy]

The live feed getting a good audience last night shows that the show would benefit well from it. If tonight has decent ratings then that will further confirm how beneficial live feed is.

I don't understand why C5 don't have live feed online. Heck, they could even charge it for a small price to have some return on it. I'm sure the majority of people on here would pay something like a tenner to twenty quid for live feed all summer.

[Samm]

Should do well tonight, In the 10pm slot, imo it only went down yesterday because the David Beckham documentary got like 4.5m+

[Samm]

It's against the world cup & Corrie on Friday, it's not a English match tbh

[ruiphillips]

What kind of messy ratings. This years viewing figures are horrible.

[Cal.]

I think tomorrow's will pick up. Daily Star has 'Big Brother Fight Night Horror' on the front page.

Twitter was going crazy tonight, hoping +1 does well

Anyone know when the official will be released and where to find them?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It hasn't even been a week :umm2: and the officials aren't out

But the ratings are messy so far that's all the poster is saying no need to get all offended just speaking the truth.

1.0 tuned in last night without plus 1 EEK!!

Hope tonights show brings in the ratings, if they are still down tomorrow then that pretty much shows how the rest of the series will pan out ratings wise.

But everytime BB gets a low rating you blame it on something else getting higher ratings and get defensive.

BB should never have got such a low rating on a Monday night even Salv admitted it was a terrible rating.

It almost dropped below a million viewers on a Monday when there was a big twist advertised aswell.

Again like i said if tomorrow morning we wake up to another 1.2 when theres been a huge fight then its pretty much proof that's the kind of ratings we can expect for the rest of the series.

[JohnnyBB]

Well no because twitter indicates nothing

I didint say it did, but in terms of big brother being talked about its not happening, and there was a major fight in the house too so whats going on??

Ill say it again we have a serious problem in terms of getting the veiwers in.

[*mazedsalv**]

I know Twitter means nothing but there was the most amount of trends since the launch tonight.

BBUK, That Danielle, Helen and Jale all trended. As far as I'm aware, BBUK didn't even trend on Sat-Monday.

[jackc1806]

1.3million my guess

[Cal.]

I think we'll see the increase in tonight's show.

[Jemal]

2.3m incl +1

Is that a guess or the actually ratings?

[Jemal]

Of course its a guess LOL, bb getting those ratings for a hl show is like primark sales not being a massacre.

[The_Big_Send_Off]

1.3m Last night
Big Brother: Power Trip continued with 1.2m (7.5%) at 10pm (103k/1.2%).

[Pronshi]

If only people would give it a chance and watch.
But we also need to remember, lifefeed created buzz.
When something happened the media could pick up on it.
Now they only can talk about what little info they have.

[Jake.]

Good share for both, beat at least CH4 and BBC2

[Iceman]

Glad its not dipped below a million.

[Josy]

Good news.

[Jake.]

It was at 10pm too, so it was never going to smash

[Jack.]

Good rating for 10pm slot

[jackc1806]

1.3million my guess

I talk THE truth.

[Jake.]

8.7% compared to what it's been getting is really good too

[*mazedsalv**]

Not a very good number, but share is good. But considering it was being hyped, I was hoping for around 100k higher.

Average for first week BB14 was 1.32m to be honest, first Tuesday last year got 1.26m (however that was excluding +1).

[Samm]

That's Good for a 10PM slot, glad it's beating C4 hope it carry's on

When will the officials for last week be release

[*mazedsalv**]

How is that 1.3?

That's 1.21.

No it's not lol

1.2m (1.20m) and then 103k which is 103,000. 1.2m+103k= 1.303m.

[Samm]

Maybe the +1 was 1.3

[daniel-lewis-1985]

No it's not lol

1.2m (1.20m) and then 103k which is 103,000. 1.2m+103k= 1.303m.

Yeah I misread lol.

Like you said its still not a good number, last night should have been a 1.5 with that argument.

Im afraid we are going to be seeing a lot of below 1 million episodes once The World Cup really kicks off and Fridays eviction up against corrie and the football :o that's going to be interesting to see. Only then will I be impressed by a 1.3 lol.

These ratings make me sad :(

[Samm]

The World Cup starts tommorow and it clashes with Corrie on Friday :worry:

[*mazedsalv**]

I posted this in the other thread but as this is the proper thread...

It's poor, but not too bad. The share is good (well obviously as it was at 10pm), BB14 first Tues got 1.42m which was 100k ahead, but the first week av of BB14 was 1.32m so pretty similar to last nights rating, BUT with the hype, I expected more. I'm worrying for it from tomorrow onwards when the World Cup starts.

BB14s first week was all between 1.2-1.4m until the eviction so it wasn't fairing much better, but it climbed from then, something I have a feeling BB15 can't do because of the footie.

Also 1.3m overnights would mean 1.6m-1.7m officials which either match or beat BB12 and BB13, so it's not that bad.

I don't think the World Cup will damage it too much, the opening game will (tomorrow which faces BB) but apart from the England, Italy, Germany, Brazil and Spain games, I don't think it will be too devastating.... Friday though... that will be a problem.

Yeah I also posted in the other thread but lets keep it to this now.

Not awful, not great, but though it's too early to tell, I can't see it matching last year, there aren't any interesting enough housemates. I'm only tuning in myself out of habit.

[duclos]

Can someone explain the difference between overnight ratings and official ratings?

[Samm]

Can someone explain the difference between overnight ratings and official ratings?

Official takes in count the Repeats and the demand viewers, I think that's right

[*mazedsalv**]

Can someone explain the difference between overnight ratings and official ratings?

Those who recorded it and all that. In the Channel 4 days, there used to be an uplift of 200k-300k, nowadays as there is more channels, there are uplifts of an average of 400k-500k, a few episodes have evem timeshifted 600k+, so people are recording more and watching less live. So, the ratings could still be really good when the officials come in.

[*mazedsalv**]

Oh and by the way the full +1 rating was 1.31m.

Also, we can note that there may be a slightly bigger boost of officials because of the launch of Ch5+24 which apparently is being counted in officials. Not sure whether it will be a few thousand or tens of thousands, but it may help a fair bit.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I don't know what to think of BB12 it just felt very cheap and rushed.

There were far more memorable moments than BB11 perhaps but omg the production was terrible.

From tonight on that rating will be considered amazing :joker:

[Will.]

Not to bad, it could be worse. Similar to last years, which got 1.32 on the first Thursday. As long as it stays above 1.2 I think it's decent ratings.

[*mazedsalv**]

Big brother 1.24m incl +1

Where did you get this from? On DS it says 1.2m excl +1 as the +1 isn't there.

That's no excuse to pay all that money for a show and not produce it up to standard these people work in tv, they are pros.

Im sure most of the production team were the same anyway.

No excuses lol

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Another 1.2?

Tonight and tomorrow are going to be dire argh!

[*mazedsalv**]

It does seem poor but it's not as bad as people make it. it's just people worrying about theWorld Cup which will damage it. It is in fact up on similar BB12 and BB13 episodes, and is not down too drastically on BB14 first Wednesday (1.32m).

People expect more due to BB14/CBB13 success. But the truth is that it is still up on BB12 and BB13 in terms of general overnights. We need to remember that BB12 evictions were getting 1.2-1.3m on average, I think Heaven's barely got 1.1m in BB12.

Also, it came 3rd in its slot.

But agree, it's annoying. Tonight-Saturday will be low. Friday's 2nd show won't be too bad, yes it is late but kick off its at 11pm, and the interview finishes at 11:10pm on BB, only a 10 min clash. But evictions this late do quite poorly.

[JohnnyBB]

Oh well screw the raitings theres a solar flare coming on friday hopefully it nocks out the football ahaha!

This.

Still not bad for a 10PM slot, I'm glad it's beating C4 that's what I care about.

It will get very low in the next days because of the football but the truth is that when something like that happens BB comes on top of the other Channel's that are against the World Cup

[Jack.]

1.2 is ok I guess.

[Rob!]

Someone on DS shared an email they apparently received from Ben Frow regarding the live feed - he basically said not a chance whilst the ratings are the way they are. He said he needed to "sort the main show out first." That concerns me when the head of programming is saying things like that :(
