The BB15 Ratings Thread

[Jordan.]

tragic, not gonna try be positive about it

[Samm]

"sort the main show out first."

isn't that a good thing, if it's true

[daniel-lewis-1985]

isn't that a good thing, if it's true

No it means that hes so unimpressed with the ratings that theres not a chance of live feed.

How could you even see anything good in that email?

Seriously you could try drag a positive out of stepping in dog ****, its not going to make it better.

It says "sort the main show out first." kind of means they are trying to get it to attract more viewers, I think the main reason for the bad ratings so far is the Big Sport event, If you look at the rating in 2012 with the Olympics BB had low ratings but it peaked up in BB14 and now since the World cup is here, it will suffer again.

anyway why are you so obsessed with my positivity

Im really curious on how the raitings will be for tonights show its on pretty late and theres a world cup match.

I think the reality is we should prepare ourselves for a lot of sub 1ms :(

Thank god you admitted they are bad lol.

Praise Allah!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im predicting 996k

[Cal.]

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 :(

Well the production team needs to get any other reality TV show out of their heads and focus on classic BB as their template, clearly they aren't using it and they seem to think their way is BB at its best.

[Samm]

I think 1.0+1

[ruiphillips]

lord the ratings are dreadful this season

[Locke.]

200k for tonights episode

[Samm]

200k for tonights episode

no :umm2: The Olympic Closing Ceremony got 26.2 Million and Big brother got 400K in 2012

[JohnnyBB]

no :umm2: The Olympic Closing Ceremony got 26.2 Million and Big brother got 400K in 2012

:joker::joker:

[uniquedude]

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.

The Crypt has to be the worst twist in BB history.

I'm biased because bb12 was the first bb I watched every single episode of so I have good memories of it.

I dont think it was the worst twist ever, even the killer noms twist is worse. Its funny how that crypt twist has been done many times over in different ways now since 5 took over.

[uniquedude]

BB12 was horrid it died when Heaven left

It could of been way better with a better cast and if CBB8 didn't start first

I do think Heaven was one of the best housemates but it was still good when she left. Jem totally made up for her.

[*mazedsalv**]

:joker::joker:

To be honest, that's fair. Also opening ceremony got around 25m and BB got 650k, which was double any other channel. BB won't be too bad, despite the ceremonies being huge, it still managed to do better than any other channel.

I predict 900k tonight with +1. Pretty sure during Euro 2012, BB13 got 1m against the 20m+ England match. It only dropped 300k ish I remember.

[*mazedsalv**]

World Cup did better than everyone expected! Average of over 11m and a peak of 12.61m. :eek:

[Jake.]

873k apparently?

[jackc1806]

873k

[Jemal]

Lool

[jackc1806]

Yeah jake was first

Tbh I haven't even watched BB yet

[Jake.]

Not a bad rating all considered, could have been far more disastrous

[jackc1806]

It'll be worse tonight IMO being at 9

[daniel-lewis-1985]

But you haven't watched the older other classic series beforehand so you're really not in a place to judge them.

No offence intended honestly just making a point.

[The_Big_Send_Off]

was expecting it in that range, should pick up on officials, can imagine alot of people catching up like i did myself

[jackc1806]

There's no buzz this year

[jackc1806]

Apparently it may be higher because that only includes people who have watched 50% of BB so far.. Confusing tweet

[*mazedsalv**]

I wouldn't call that accurate, apparently it's a little higher and we don't know if it includes +1 either (according to DS)

[jackc1806]

@overnightstv: @unhappybbfan Hi there. No - just "heavy viewers". Total for last night was 902k/4.3% on C5, and 123.7k/1.2% on C5+1 http://t.co/Gu75jKfL7Z

[jackc1806]

Actually 1.025m

[*mazedsalv**]

1.03m incl +1 then? That's decent considering.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I was expecting slightly higher, 996 I think I said.

My god tonight they are totally screwed right in the anus.

Up against Corrie and the football.

I think BB14 would have held up better last night, I think it would have managed to stay above 1 million, it seemed to have more of a following.

BB is a show you really have to invest in so the fact the world cup is on maybe people just don't want to commit to watching 3 months of it. Its its ALOT of tv to watch/ People have lives.

Or it could be that the launch turned everyone off.

It will be interesting to see the officials then we will know if the fanbase is still there or if the if 1.5 to 2 million who usually stick with the summer series have simply tuned out.

+1 helped it. It got 1.03m with +1.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

+1 helped it. It got 1.03m with +1.

Thought it was 1.02?

[Iceman]

I reckon thats gonna be the norm while world cup is on....one thing that may come out of this is a jump in viewers in july when its finished..... /optimist

[*mazedsalv**]

Thought it was 1.02?

1.025m would round up to 1.03m :)

It came 3rd in its slot I think, BBC2 Mock the Week debuted at 1.0m and Ch4 was at like half a million or less!

[Jake.]

I think that it held up considerably well

[Jordan.]

Actually 1.025m

:unsure:

[*mazedsalv**]

Other things in the 10pm slot...

BBC2- 1.00m
Ch4- 470,000

Channel 5 doesn't look too bad. It shows the fan base really, Mock the Week started with 1.00m (stupid idea to have its new series start last night against the World Cup, I'm guessing the crossover is big for the WC and MTW). Usually Mock The Week gets 2.3-2.9m. So for BB to beat a show which usually thrashes BB is interesting.

It shows that the Mock The Week audience is more of the World Cup audience than BB/World Cup. Not surprising, MTW has a big male audience.

[JohnnyBB]

There even struggleing to get the eviction crowds to come none wants the free tickets.

[jackc1806]

There even struggleing to get the eviction crowds to come none wants the free tickets.

Your slagging off BB all the time is boring... It'll be full because people just turn up

[daniel-lewis-1985]

There even struggleing to get the eviction crowds to come none wants the free tickets.

Erm where did you get that from?

Tonight's fully booked!

http://i.imgur.com/FyGRKi2.png

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FAIL.

[Brother Leon]

It won't be as bad after today. If it starts at 10 then it doesn't clash with any games..until the knockouts and there is a chance of extra time anyway.

[Rob!]

Fair play for it last night. What do we think tonight? The thought of a first eviction being below a million depresses me a lot :(

[Will.]

The ratings are good if your comparing them, it beats BBC 2 and Channel 4. Its not just Channel 5 who struggles to get ratings its most of the channels this time in the year.

[*mazedsalv**]

True, the match killed everything.

ITV- 11.20m
BBC1- 2.8m (Mrs Browns Boys repeat) + 2.2m (Question Time)
Ch5- 1.03m
BBC2- 1.00m
Ch4- 470,000

[Jamesy]

The ratings are OK in my eyes. They do show that BB has a strong, dedicated audience just under (or around) the 1 million mark. That's pretty good for a show that has been on TV for 14 years.

I do worry though that this may put off C5 carrying on with the show. Sure it's their flagship program although it was on C4 too and we know what happened there.

I wouldn't say civilian BB is even their flagship programme anymore.

CBB on the otherhand is a huge success.

[Jamesy]

I think it is to a certain extent. A show that's on for 3 solid months with 1 million+ viewers a night is pretty good (for C5). I doubt they could manage to get that with other shows.

CBB does far better of course so that is probably more of their flagship program. Although the civilian series does the channel just as well with viewing figures.

[Josy]

That's never really went up against anything as big as the World Cup or that though has it?

[jackc1806]

How does civilian BB do the Channel just as well with viewing figures?

2 shows below 1 million now plus 1 and officials are a god send to civilian BB even though profit wise repeats and on demand don't bring in any money voting wise.

Obviously product placement and adverts bring in the doh' so no need to worry there but BB as a show should be bringing in the money live.

I would love to see how many people vote these days can anyone find out?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That's never really went up against anything as big as the World Cup or that though has it?

Civillian BB only goes up against the world cup every 4 years so you cant really compare them.

BB12 if anything should have been the highest rated Channel 5 BB because it was a relaunch and CBB launched to over 5 million.

BB13 was up against the Olympics so was screwed, BB14 was the only one not up against anything and climbed heavily in ratings.

True I suppose Channel 5 have kind of been cursed with sporting events but this BB has rated low before the world cup even started. I don't think its down to the world cup entirely why BB15 has lost ratings.

[Samm]

Agree with this totally

Not Bad since it clashed with the start of the world cup holding up 1 Million viewers, It's also good that it has beaten C4 every night and beating BBC2 on some nights

[Jamesy]

How does civilian BB do the Channel just as well with viewing figures?

Didn't word my post well... was trying to make a point that Big Brother as a package (celebrity and civilian) works very well for C5. They both work on different time frames so can't be too comparable but all things considered both do well with viewing figures.

[Josy]

It's against Spain V Netherlands Match tonight and it's a split highlights/eviction interview.

The game kicks off at bout 8pm (I think?) someone confirm? so will still have half an hour left when BB starts..

It's got corrie to deal with as well - we're looking at the lowest rated eviction since Caroline's I think. :(

[Samm]

It's got corrie to deal with as well - we're looking at the lowest rated eviction since Caroline's I think. :(

I don't see why we are going so low, it didn't drop under million from the start day of the World Cup and corrie ends at 9:30 so it has some space before the cup match.

The officials will be key this series tbh

Looking back at ratings and now I realise how poorly BB12 did. It was on straight after the relaunch of CBB8, AND it was an autumn series, the weather was bad, there was no Wimbledon, Olympics, Euro/World Cup.

BB13 did well to stay consistent with it as it faced Olympics and the Euros. BB14 only really faced Wimbeldon, but Murray did win, so it probably did hit it a little bit, hence why ratings increased after it ended.

[Brother Leon]

Football ends 15mins before BB ends.....they will probably hold the announcement until then.

There's is nothing going on in 2015 for sport etc

[*mazedsalv**]

They will do the result at 9:50pm surely, so yeah.

Got to say, what a match. I just switched over during the break. It's going to be a high rated game for sure!

[uniquedude]

But you haven't watched the older other classic series beforehand so you're really not in a place to judge them.

No offence intended honestly just making a point.

Confused? I dont know what I am meant to take offence to, I mean plenty of more recent twists I could name are worse than the crypt not including older series that I havent seen's twists.

[uniquedude]

I dont think it will cancelled because only a handful on shows on channel 5 consistently get 1 million plus viewers, most weeks not even one of their shows even hit 2 million. And I think you have to take competitors into consideration: towie and made in chelsea are the nearest competitors and they get around 1 million viewers per episode it just the type of show.

[uniquedude]

I would love to see how many people vote these days can anyone find out?

More and more people watch on demand and channel 5 promote the demand 5 service quite a lot as does other channels with their respective demand services so surely demand has some profitability or so many channels wouldnt have created these services. Lets be honest Big Brother is a show most people watch after everything else, its not a show you miss other shows to view so the catch up figures are likely to be high.

[ruiphillips]

Can't wait to see what the first eviction pulled in, I'm thinking 1.20m

http://uploadir.com/u/ywm2mzf1

[Samm]

Coverage of Spain-Netherlands was yesterday's most watched, averaging 8.22m/38.7% from 7.30pm and peaking with 11.4m.

ITV Ratings: Mexico v Cameroon on @ITV peaked with 5.8m & Chile v Australia peaked with 4.2m

[Samm]

EastEnders Crashed last night

Yesterday's soaps were badly affected by the World Cup, in particular EastEnders which dropped to just 3.97m/23.1% in an unfamiliar 7pm slot

Bloody hell! :o

[Jemal]

1.25m

1.25m

That's decent.

[Jemal]

Thats being rumoured btw.
Dunmo if its official

[Samm]

1.25m

Source and is that with +1

[Jemal]

Twitter. And i have no idea.
I reckon its not because its a random person that has said it

[Jemal]

Also my sources tell me that half of the officials will be over 2m

[Will.]

Over 2M?

[Cal.]

Over 2M?

The officials. :)

[Samm]

It will be very impressive if it survives and doesn't go under 1 Million and it can survive against the Football

I just want the Officials for this week to see if any of the ratings got higher what I think they have

[Will.]

The officials. :)

Ok, isn't that still quite a lot?

[Cal.]

Yes, its fantastic! :D

BB is an expensive show to run, so much so that ITV backed out because it cost to much.

1 million per show wont cut it and certainly wont make them any huge profit.

[Will.]

Yes, its fantastic! :D

Oh, that's great. Is that true then?

[Cal.]

Oh, that's great. Is that true then?

I hope so. If the series keeps getting 2 million plus then it pretty much guarantees BB's survival.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Twitter. And i have no idea.
I reckon its not because its a random person that has said it

You allways do this.

Post a random number with no explanation lol try finding out if its fake before it does my nut in.

[Jemal]

Na this is the only time ive posted a random number.
Any other time ive done it, im acc saying the rating ive found out

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Also my sources tell me that half of the officials will be over 2m

Are you saying this just to wind people up because I don't believe you have sources, if you did you wouldn't constantly post fake numbers or get figures from random Twitter people which usually turn out to be wrong.

Who told yo some of the officials get 2+.....Oz the great and powerful?

Now you're saying this is the only time you posted a random number? So random meaning you made it up again?

[Jemal]

I get my numbers from twitter.
Sometimes their right sometimes thier not i guess

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I get my numbers from twitter.
Sometimes their right sometimes thier not i guess

Why not just wait for a reliable source before writing it in the thread because they are usually wrong. Its annoying.

Who tells you half the officials are over 2 million?

[Jemal]

Alrightyyyy mate, sozsoz.

[Samm]

Do the officials come out this weekend

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Do the officials come out this weekend

I think they come Monday so we will get the officials for both Launches and the Saturday highlights I think.

Not sure if we get last Sundays.

[Samm]

oh ok

[cizzy12345]

No actual rating yet?

[Rob!]

Do we actually know what last night got? I'm guessing if it's this late then it was way sub 1m? :(

[Gstar]

Jemal post what you want, this is a public thread

[Jemal]

:joker:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Jemal post what you want, this is a public thread

Yeah but when posting fakes and numbers from unreliable sources its an annoyance especially if posting a fake number on purpose could be seen as trolling.

If we could just wait for the actual rating comes out from a reliable source it would save me having to log into the thread because theres responses thinking that's the real rating, wastes everyones time who have took time to respond.

Try keep this thread legit not messy.

[Kai Anders]

Owwww, 884K (3.2%) for the first eviction, it's not clear whether this includes +1 - via Digital Spy, that below Channel 5s annual television share of 3.9% too, so definitely not good! Stand by your man fared worse with around 500K and a 2% share!

A bad night for C5!

[Jemal]

Smh

[Locke.]

Looks like it will be cancelled mid-series

[Jarrod]

Share was 3.8% and doesn't include Channel 5+1.

[Samm]

Ouch, I'm hoping the official is higher when it comes out

[Kai Anders]

Do official ratings, or even regular ratings include channel 5+24 too? I'm aware they take into account +1 and HD, plus I imagine that demand does good too

[Samm]

Do official ratings, or even regular ratings include channel 5+24 too? I'm aware they take into account +1 and HD, plus I imagine that demand does good too

Yeah all the things you said and I think repeats of it in the morning

[LukeB]

ouch! first Big Brother live eviction was seen by 884k (3.8%) at 9pm
doesn't say about the 2nd how. world cup is effecting big brother

[JohnnyBB]

Good i hope that's true about stand by your man it deservs such low raitings 40 mins of live feed would have retained there veiwers

[Samm]

Looks like it will be cancelled mid-series

no, it clashed with the football and coronation street all of last nights ratings where terrible because of it, EastEnders gets about 8 Million but went down to 3 Million last night

[*mazedsalv**]

Poor! Stand by your Man flopped with around under 600k too. Everything flopped, Eastenders got 3.97m.

Maybe +1 will save it a tiny bit? But no it will NOT be cancelled mid series, it did head and shoulders better than all other shows on Ch5.

[Kai Anders]

So there's some hope then! As long as they're at 1.5 for officials I think that's fair. I mean, the only reason I believe last series did so good was because it had no sporting competition, unlike the previous two years. I'm sure C5 understand too, and would renew it if this was the case.

BB12 - 1.6
BB13 - 1.6
BB14 - 1.9
BB15 - ?? (I predict 1.5)

[LukeB]

no, it clashed with the football and coronation street all of last nights ratings where terrible because of it, EastEnders gets about 8 Million but went down to 3 Million last night

don't forget there is always on demand, i think people who properly watched coronation street and football will watch it on demand. or +1

[JohnnyBB]

Its such a shame cause if the average this yearvis 1.5m then if there was no world cup the shows avrg would have been 2.0m

[Locke.]

Time to give up on it and look forward to the much superior celebrity version

[*mazedsalv**]

Officials will be huge for last night IMO. I remember Caroline's eviction going from 650k to 1.02m.

[Samm]

Officials will be huge for last night IMO. I remember Caroline's eviction going from 650k to 1.02m.

I agree, this series will be saved because of the Officials

I just want them to get the contract for Big Brother to stop all this "Big Brother is getting axed stuff" :bored: it's annoying

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That's just for the highlights.

What did the interview get?

I cant believe a BB eviction night got beat by a repeat of Benidorm which got 1.79 :o its embaressing

Other channels faired well against the football really its just Channel 5 that really got hit bad.

[mrmattybeck1]

maybe rest civilian bbuk for a few years and just carry on with cbb

[Samm]

maybe rest civilian bbuk for a few years and just carry on with cbb

Not sure what that got. Also, that is without +1, none of the DS figures are giving +1 weirdly enough, so it could have been a strong +1 rating?

[Samm]

The good thing is it will clash with the Football next Friday and then that will be the last clash since there isn't no more games on Friday's after that

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The good thing is it will clash with the Football next Friday and then that will be the last clash since there isn't no more games on Friday's after that

I think the damage will be done by then BB isn't the type of show you start watching 3 weeks in.

Could be wrong.

[RichardG]

There was a lot of people watching tv at 10:30 hopefully yes people waited to watch on +1.

Annoyed they haven't put the actual eviction figure up.

Can you try and find out, put your detective hat on Salv lol.

[JohnnyBB]

Maybe changeing the name the from big brother: power trip to just New:Big Brother could help?

[Jarrod]

Well, on Twitter - Big Brother came first and third in the most talked about online.

https://secondsync.com/leaderboard.html#Fri-Jun-13-2014/totals

That's what I never get is why it's so talked about on the internet but has bad ratings on some nights and the show has lots of fan sites more than any other TV show, imo that's what keeps the show going

[Will.]

Maybe changeing the name the from big brother: power trip to just New:Big Brother could help?

I agree, they should change the name because people probably don't know what BB Power Trip is and won't tune in.

[Jarrod]

Really, what we've got to think about is that Channel 5 know Big Brother works OUTSIDE of the UK too. The online community for Big Brother is one of the biggest in the country, and perhaps the world. The show has international viewers on a large scale and they know that.

Maybe the overnight ratings aren't good, but the officials will bump the show up. The fact the show also has a strong online following in the UK and outside the UK is also keeping the show going.

[Kai Anders]

Don't get me wrong, I like the Power Trip theme, but does anybody else think it's kind of a terrible name? I liked Secrets and Lies, it felt more interesting and was open to different interpretations. Something like Power and ... would have been more marketable and approachable to an audience in my opinion. The word 'trip' just sounds cheap and tacky and defines what was going to happen to early on.

I kinda agree with you. "Power Trip" doesn't quite have the same ring to it. It actually sounds more like a spin-off show rather than regular Big Brother - maybe that's what casual viewers think when they see it in the TV guide?

I thought "Power and Control" would have sounded better (if a bit over-used). Maybe if they simply added "New" before Big Brother Power Trip people may be more inclined to watch. Or like JohnnyBB says, just have it as New: Big Brother.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Maybe changeing the name the from big brother: power trip to just New:Big Brother could help?

I agree.

[Josy]

Awful.

[Cal.]

They need to change the name to 'New: Big Brother' like mentioned and ditch Power Trip. I know people will argue and say that it got Secrets and Lies good ratings but I've had to explain to a lot of people that it's still just the normal civilian Big Brother despite the name.

[JohnnyBB]

Well, on Twitter - Big Brother came first and third in the most talked about online.

Of course its the world cups fault. And anyway, it looks that with +1 it would have hit 1m anyway, counting officials, it will probably be up to 1.5m. And maybe you should look at the figures, 2.8m was BB11 official average, the overnight average was 2.5m, and the times it faced the world cup it went below 2m.

Everything gets hurt my the WC. People on DS are having mental breakdowns at EE going sub 4m when its clear that it will recover to 6m+ when the WC ends.

Seriously though a repeat of Benidorm beat it by 900k which started at 9:30 there was a fair amount of people watching tv at the time. Nothing apart from a few shows were really down by a huge amount.

To compare last nights ratings which were up against BB (9pm/10.30pm)

Graham Norton: 2.79 million (20.3%)

Benidorm repeat was seen by 1.74 million (7.7%) at 9.30pm on ITV.

Alan Carr: Chatty Man: 1.28 million (7.4%)

8 out of 10 cats: 1.04

Big Brother: 884k (3.8%)

We don't know that for sure though, you cant just give a statement like that when the other shows that beat BB are more appealing to BB viewers in my opinion.

BB consists of mostly female viewers.

I just want to see these officials now to see if people are still interested but just cant watch it when its in its time slot....I don't think that would happen every night though which it has been .

[erinp5]

Big Brother ratings are being slaughtered around 800k tuned in last night, ratings WAY down compared to BB11 (last world cup)

Normally Fridays get the most TV viewers and there favourite show is normally on Fridays that's why people tune in on Fridays, Like Alan Carr Cher lloyd was on there and fans of Cher will tune in and watch it same with the Graham Norton show

I'm a bit annoyed at the +1 not coming out (don't want this to turn into another BB14 situation)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Even BB13 was beating this in most overnights I believe and that was up against The Olympics.

C'mon BB we are all routing for you!!! lol Its been the underdog of tv shows for years now and finally seemed like it had made a comeback but 800k no one can even defend it.

Even the most positive people on here are admitting its bad.

So BB was beaten because they wanted to watch Cher Lloyd on Alan Carr?

This is a serious answer?

Also you're saying those shows are more popular than BB so theres no defence.

[*mazedsalv**]

It's so annoying about the missing +1, also more annoying about the interview rating!! That could have done quite well! Please, someone find them!! :(

[Samm]

So BB was beaten by 400k because they wanted to watch Cher Lloyd on Alan Carr?

This is a serious answer?

She has 6.15M followers so yeah she has a lot of fans

[daniel-lewis-1985]

She has 6.15M followers so yeah she has a lot of fans

Ah ok and Britney Spears has 37.6 million followers yet her appearance on Alan Carr brought in about 1.3/1.5 if I remember right.

First people say Twitter has no effect on rating and then they back track.

It flopped in a massive way and im so pissed off about the +1 aswell and the fact theres no ratings released for the eviction interview at 10:30. It must have been very low as usually less people tune into the interviews.

Maybe it was 500k or something drastic and that's why it hasn't been released?

Can anyone get the Bots ratings as they are usually the same or 200k down or something, will give us a good indication.

[Samm]

I can't tbh at people slating BB for ratings this year mainly on twitter, it's only doing not as well as last year because of the World cup why won't they get that in there heads

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I can't tbh at people slating BB for ratings this year mainly on twitter, it's only doing not as well as last year because of the World cup why won't they get that in there heads

Because repeats of Benidorm are beating it by almost a million.

People will stay on ITV after the football tbh and watch Benidorm, I am sure that the officials will be good

[daniel-lewis-1985]

To give it some praise it has been beating itv and channel 4 on some occasions but the ratings were way down before the world cup even started.

I personally think its because people cannot invest in BB and the world cup at the same time.

BB is a commitment like Davina said after she left the show it took over her summer because she would have to keep up with every episode. Its the same with us viewers.

The good thing is we have on demand and stuff now so hopefully we will see some pretty big leaps in officials like BB14 which all shocked us when episodes were getting over 2 million.

But i do think BB has lost some of its following after launch night 1 aswell. The fans are choosing not to watch because they simply didn't like or enjoy it.

BB launch night 2 lost about 400k of its loyal fanbase i think.

I see it a lot on the forum that people are finding that they are watching not out of enjoyment but because they feel a kind of loyalty to the show, many people aren't like that and will switch off.

[Samm]

ok I do agree with you there, they shouldn't of done that 2 part launch, I enjoyed both of them but it should of been one all together (US BB are doing a 2 part launch this year as well) But yeah i'm hoping the officials do well

[JohnnyBB]

0.99million saw first eviction show at 9pm, though a decent 0.96m stuck for the second at 10.40pm

I'm actually tired of you. You make things up and slam the show and say "IT'S FAILING" when you have NO evidence to back up your claim.

Big Brother's social media has GROWN in the past week, not dropped. So wherever you got your idea that it dropped from is beyond me. Applause Store only offer tickets for evictions starting on the Friday before. They get fully booked by Wednesday constantly and is one of their most popular bookings - This is coming from me who promotes Applause Store and is in continuous contact with a member of staff to bring competitions etc.

As for ratings, I don't know how many times we have to say that Big Brother isn't what it used to be. You're obsessed with the whole "CHANNEL 4 WAS BETTER WE NEED THIS" idea. Yes, Channel 4 may have been better - but what Channel 5 are doing works for them. Big Brother has a huge overseas following and online following, and that's showing with the tweeting stats. Big Brother's ratings are OVERNIGHTS! They're not the official ratings, and they don't take into account the recording figures, Channel 5+24 figures, on demand figures and in some cases Channel 5+1 figures.

Please stop with the bull and get some facts to back up your claims.

[Jarrod]

HOLY ****!! Includeds +1

0.99million saw first eviction show at 9pm, though a decent 0.96m stuck for the second at 10.40pm

It doesn't include Channel 5+1. Digital Spy report the Channel 5 rating and then the Channel 5+1 rating separate in brackets. There was no rating for +1.

I'm not saying the rating is good, because it's not. I'm saying official ratings will save this series.

[erinp5]

This year’s Big Brother series could become the least watched EVER to air as numbers crash.



For the past two nights now the show has attracted fewer than a million viewers, including for last night’s first live eviction show.

Crushing competition from the World Cup, which won’t be over for another month yet, has seen figures plummet .

Yesterday’s show was watched by just 900,000 viewers at 9PM while over 11 million viewers were watching Netherlands thrash Spain 5-1 in the latest World Cup match.

It was down almost a million viewers on last year’s show which had seen Sallie Axl go head to head with Gina Rio and Dexter Koh.

Channel 5′s new trashy dating show Stand by Your Man struggled in between the two Big Brother live instalments, scoring just over 500,000 viewers.



Big Brother then returned back at 10:40PM between two football matches for the eviction result and a live twist, where again just 900,000 viewers watched.

The latest episode of Bit On The Side fared even worse as it went head to head with Chile and Australia’s four goal match on ITV from 11PM.

So far this year the series has averaged 1.2 million viewers, down some 400,000 viewers on last year’s first week average of closer to 1.6 million.

Unfortunately for show bosses things get worse tonight as the show clashes with the first England game of the competition.

Bizarrely, despite the game starting at 10:20PM on BBC One, schedulers have not put the show in its usual 9PM Saturday slot but instead decided to air against the match between 10PM and 11PM.

Well that's semi-decent for the interview then?

[Jamesy]

Gone are the days of 4-6 million viewers per night. Despite 1 million viewers a night not being brilliant, it does show that there is a solid group of viewers out there. I would hazard a guess that the show is doing just fine. Companies have still teamed up with C5 to advertise products on the show, Super Casino is still sponsoring the show too... there seems to be a continual commercial interest in the show so I wouldn't worry too much about the show failing at the moment.

It's the officials that will be make or break. If they don't do well then there might be some concern. Although I hope we'll be surprised when officials start coming out.

The other shows i posted not Eastender **** me that was bad lol

[Luke Patton*]

Officials will save the show this year, I'd expect a 350K - 450K rise on the overnights! Peoples viewing habits have changed drastically over recent years, I usually catch up on demand 5 or record it due to my working schedule. I still think that 1 million viewers is still an applaudable amount of viewership as overnights. The series has started very well, I'm hooked. Viewers started switching off in 2007, I'm happy that they are playing with the format. Big Brother is still relevant.

[Raph]

Not surprised to be honest. With the world cup going on this year and the absolutely awful selection of housemates, this was inevitable, unfortunately. I just hope they do a better casting job next year. This model/in the limelight type housemate is incredibly boring and ineffective. I just hope they realize how well BB14 did and how poorly BB15 is doing and can act accordingly.

[*mazedsalv**]

Not bad at all last night considering.

1st show- 990,000
Interview- 960,000

Obviously that looks VERY low, but take into account how everything dropped. EE got 3.97m!

As for other news, apparently according to DS, the first 2 officials (2 launches) has been released. *overnight rating

Launch 1- 2.43m (higher than both BB14 launches) *2.13m
Launch 2- 1.96m *1.64m

[Kai Anders]

So happy to here this, do you have a link so I can delve into this deeper ?

[uniquedude]

I have no doubt the celebrity version will be renewed, Im just scared all of the good work c5 has done with bb13,bb14,cbb13 to get viewers back and hooked could go down the drain. I'm gonna be positive and predict something will happen to increase ratings some sort of 'gate'

[Rob!]

:amazed: at the officials! That second rating is still a bit ew but it's encouraging to see it make a good start like that.
I dread to think what tonight is going to get - an England game and it's a Saturday.

[Samm]

Omg @ the launch officials I'm hoping that we will see the same for the rest

[Samm]

BBC1's full coverage from 10.20pm to 1.30am averaged 11.51m/68.4%

[Jake.]

The first launch :worship:

[*mazedsalv**]

Have to note that usually launches time shift less than the other shows, so timeshifts of over 300k for both is impressive! Kind of foreshadows that on average, the shows will timeshift well over 400k. So 1.2m-1.3m overnights would become 1.6-1.7m. (on par or higher than BB12 and BB13).

[Cal.]

OMG, amazing officials! I hope that the officials are amazing!

[Jamesy]

Great officials. Hope it continues for the rest of the series!

Now can people please stop being negative all the time saying the show is going to be axed. The officials say the opposite!

I think it's probably going to be BB's lowest ever rating. :(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Oh god im dreading this rating!

World cup got 80%? Its insane.

Can we all email channel 5 and Ben Frow to get BB shown at 9pm, why the **** are Channel 5 putting it on at 10 up against the world cup, are they idiots?

[Rob!]

I'm guessing about 300k. 20 percent needing to be shared throughout all the other channels. Urgh. :(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I'm guessing about 300k. 20 percent needing to be shared throughout all the other channels. Urgh. :(

Im actually gonna go lower, 240,000.

[Me. I Am Salman]

no way D:

[Samm]

If it does go low then it's nothing to worry about since it was against a big football game

[Kai Anders]

The official ratings for Saturday's haven't been released yet, but even though BB got something like 990,000 viewers, its still good to bare in mind the fact that Channel 5's average number of viewers for friday was at 680,000. So in my opinion, yes, those ratings were bad, but it's well above the channel average for the day and was still it's most top rated show.. so again, to bare in mind for todays ratings which come out in a few hours or so, they may be shockingly low, but they're likely to be double the rest of Channel 5 programming, just as it tends to be when it hits its big ratings! Be Positive!! :cheer2:

[Kai Anders]

It's also worth mentioning that Friday's BB beat BBC Two! Still 4th in the time slot, despite 'bad' ratings.

[Will.]

Does anyone know what it got for Saturday?

[Jarrod]

Channel 5's Big Brother: Power Trip took 782k (4%), with 336k (1.7%) sticking around for Bit on the Side.

[Jarrod]

I dont but these figures are disappointing so far lets see how it does in the officials

I don't understand how many times we have to make it clear that these figures will be bumped up when officials are released, really. Big Brother 12/13 rated around this, sometimes even lower. I don't know why people are getting so worked up about it.

[Kai Anders]

Mrmattybeck1 - it won't get cancelled for one night of terrrible ratings, granted it's the worse in a while, but what do you expect when 80% of those watching tv were turned to the football, it was till C5s most watched show of the day, which is respectable, and like I always say, it's 0.1% up on the channel average. It's not a lot, but it's not terrible either, we should worry when it's below the average share! plus I'm sure that everyone's aware of the strong competition, hopefully ratings will improve tonight, I imagine many sad England fans will turn away for the next few matches in spite of being 'sore losers'!

If it's above the channels annual share (3.9%) it still makes a profit as it increases shares and viewing figures, increasing advertisement profit, regardless of how small it's better to make money than lose it! Plus there were only 20% of other viewing and when you consider that around 40% is typically for multichannels, and 60% for the main 5, although 4% of the 20% yesterday sounds slim, that's pretty good. That's like 1/5 of the other available audience which is typical of higher rated BB shows! It's fine! Trust me!

:rolleyes:
im Mr positive as you know lol

[MB.]

oh dear gets worse wont be bck next year

You do realise it was up against something with an 80% audience share :umm2:

[Cal.]

That's way better than I expected!

[Kai Anders]

Exactly MB&U! Remeber it was on at 10 too, so was in direct competition, the fact that 750,000 fans stuck around is dedication! Perhaps this 750,000 are the 'superfans' as Super Cassandra keeps telling us!

[Samm]

it will the way its going r.i.p bbuk:(

I can't at this :facepalm:

[mrmattybeck1]

I can't at this :facepalm:
im not used to all this positivity im too used to digital spys lot lol

The 2012 Olympic's opening ceremony in LONDON was a bigger event than this world cup game imo.

[Kai Anders]

It won't get cancelled for like two nights of poor ratings mrmattybeck1. I'm sure that C5 and the BB crew are aware of the competition, can you imagine the channel's ratings WITHOUT BB! (But even then, it's not like they'd cancel all the other shows!) It;s safe unless we're told otherwise! Give it time, there's still a Summer CBB in works, and after last CBB's ratings, I;m sure that'll be back too and in turn, another BB civilian series will be on the cards. Ratings are like rollercoasters, always going higher or lower. Cancelling after two nights of poor ratings is drastic, look at C4 and all the show's that tried to replace the ratings when it lost BB, lots are still going!

It was Caroline's eviction got about 400K when it was up against the Olympic's

[Samm]

Well the Launch Night Officials came out last night and they where very good if you have seen the post, Like I said the officials will save the series

[Kai Anders]

Yes, Caroline's eviction was the lowest EVER. And that was now 2 civillian series ago (including this one) Don't be so pessimistic mrmattybeck1!

Btw, what were the officials again? I'm sure BARB will have them up tomorrow!

if bbuk is bck next year it should do better than this year

[Kai Anders]

Well yeh, there's no major sporting competition. That's the reason BB14 did so well.

They are including all the On demand and Catch Up stuff and I think C5HD and Repeats of the show as well

This is what both of the launches got Officially

Launch 1- 2.43m
Launch 2- 1.96m

and like Salv said the first launch got higher than BB14

[Kai Anders]

I'd like to think I helped those official ratings. I watched the first launch three times! :hehe:

[Jarrod]

I watched it live, on the daytime repeat on Channel 5 and then 5* :hehe:

[Kai Anders]

i did live, the lunchtime repeat and OD, it was such a good start!:hehe:

[Gstar]

I watched the second launch twice http://cdn.thisisbigbrother.com/smilies/hehe.png

[*mazedsalv**]

As expected last night. Tonight's game faces BB, its France and Hondrous. It shouldn't be as big as the last few primetime ratings, so I am hoping BB recovers.

[Kai Anders]

I suspect another 900K exc. +1, hoping it breaks the 1mil mark, it deserves it!

[Cal.]

I watched both launch nights so many times. :))

[RichardG]

Obviously not an ideal rating but last night did much much better than I expected it to.

[JohnnyBB]

love the launch night raitings they couldin't be any better, it is the football that's killing big brother now, shame on channel 5 and producers big brother should have launched after the world cup but oh well its happend now, whatever happens if the show gets axed or not this is a good series and ill enjoy watching it.

How can they launch it in July?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I don't understand how many times we have to make it clear that these figures will be bumped up when officials are released, really. Big Brother 12/13 rated around this, sometimes even lower. I don't know why people are getting so worked up about it.

BB12/13 only had a handful of under 1 million their whole series and weve had about 4 in the space of 10 days.

It rating worse than BB12/13/14.

This is the lowest rated BB to date and that is a fact.

[Jarrod]

There's no point getting worked up about overnights.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im sure BB1/BB2 were launched in July and finished in September.


Why couldn't they launch in July theres no reason not to.
