The BB15 Ratings Thread

[Kai Anders]

I'm off to Ibiza tonight so will be gone until Saturday. You best all be keeping this thread busy and make me proud ;)

We'll do our best!! Have a great time, you better keep up to date!! :hehe:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

:suspect:
source?

It was a hoax!

Good news for us BB die hards :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

you're welcome! I think the viewable audience is still where it should be, I just suspect some people are watching less of the shows e.g. Some last year could be watching all 7 shows each week, this year perhaps they're watching 4-5.. as it could explain the good retention in viewers and then sudden drops too!

In basic terms some people just cant be arsed to tune in every night.

[Kai Anders]

In basic terms some people just cant be arsed to tune in every night.

It is hard to invest in a show firstly with competition and secondly with such a tense house, this year's dynamic is unlike others, like with BB14 there was so much tension but equally a lot more fun! I'm missing that this series and I'm sure the viewers are too! Plus I believe BB14 had much better HMs!

We'll do our best!! Have a great time, you better keep up to date!! :hehe:

Cheers, it's going to be a good one. Is it weird that I may be thinking on Friday night in the middle of partying.. 'I wonder who was evicted'.

I'm such a BB geek :joker:

Ahahah! It's an addiction, like some sort of drug! I did the same the morning before one of my exams, I missed the eviction to revise and didn't check twitter either and thought to myself 'God I wonder who was evicted' constantly!

I have wifi in the hotel, I am sure I will have to check up on BB news :p

But I kind of like the look of BB's chances for ratings tonight. Twitter is buzzing more than usual due to the row last night and the WC match tonight is S Korea vs. Nigeria, who both had dull first matches and aren't a huge draw anyway.

[Rob!]

Yeah so as we thought, officials really saving this series.

[Kai Anders]

Hopefully there's been enough advertisement online through the row thats happened that people can be drawn back slightly, including +1 last nights figure stands at 949K so for officials, perhaps 1.2m??

[*mazedsalv**]

Where did you get the +1?

Also I have to laugh at people on DS saying BB is going to get axed, a lot of people saying that Ch4 thrashed Ch5 last night (yes it did), excellent rating for THG but wow, that is the second time Ch4 has beaten Ch5 in like 2 weeks! People weren't commenting when BB was getting 1.4m this week against Ch4's 700k, were they? :joker:

The fact that channel 4 now needs to actually prepare for BB as in what they put up against it says it all I think. :D

[Pronshi]

An airing of Jennifer Lawrence movie The Hunger Games posted 2.21m (13.4%) from 9pm.



Thought this was interesting, major chunk of young adult audience. The made MASSIVE money from this. They planned 4 film advert premiers including a teaser to Planet of Apes. So this was channel 4 getting all the guns out.

It actually got 2.63m with +1. Very impressive.

[Pronshi]

It actually got 2.63m with +1. Very impressive.

Indeed considering Harry Potter on ITV which I think we can all agree on being the biggest Family film franchise gets 3-5 million at usually 5pm.
So a young adult film getting almost 3 million at 9pm to 12pm at night is pretty good. The books are superb too.
But I think Big Brother held up well. That film certainly took a major part of the 16/32 audience.

He gets them from some ratings site.

I did ask for a link, source before but he said he forgot it.

He must have found it again?

Kai post the link please so we can all have access to these +1 figures its annoying having to post from DS who never include that figure now.

And for your information I didn't 'forget' I simply closed the tab about that ratings and couldn't find it again, it was from several people posting it on twitter. How about you do the research if its such a concern next time, gees!

[Kai Anders]

I've been looking and I can't find that one know! Well at least I managed to get the +1s for last nights, which is on the link I posted..

[daniel-lewis-1985]

All I asked for was a link, I wasn't the only one who asked for it.

If I was to find a +1 figure people were asking for I would post the link to it.

Theres allways people asking what it got on +1 then you come in and post it and not even tell us we you got it from its very annoying as without a source it means nothing.

Thanks for providing the link now we can actually discuss the real ratings instead of debating the DS figure which never provides it.

[*mazedsalv**]

Yes!! You beauty, there are actual ratings for the lost +1 on these tables! Thank you. So from Monday according to this...

Monday- 1.40m incl +1
Tuesday- 1.20m incl +1
Wednesday- 1.35m incl +1
Thursday- 1.30m incl +1
Friday- 1.20m incl +1 (for 9pm show)
Saturday- 949k incl+1

That Saturday rating....

[*mazedsalv**]

That Saturday rating....

It's a decent one. Highest of the series for a Saturday despite being up against a match and The Hunger Games, and being a Saturday!

[Rob!]

Yeah I guess. I just hate seeing it below a million. :(


You by the way need to stop going on holiday during BB. :hmph:


:laugh:

:laugh:

I know :laugh2: This however is the shortest amount of time, I usually am gone for over 2 weeks and miss that much BB, 5 days won't be much, by the time I am back I can catch up on tonight-eviction and be ready for the Sat highlight show :p

[Sawyer]

To be fair with the officials, considering the World Cup, it isn't THAT bad.

[Jarrod]

Big Brother: Power Trip with 1.2m (5.4%) at 9pm (122k/0.7%).

[Vladimir]

1.32 is alright, it deserved more though

[Kai Anders]

Pretty good going for a Sunday, shame the share is a little lower than normal, must have been a busy viewing night, can't help but think, bar the eviction, BB should always be at 10.. it'd help a lot, in my opinion!

[Will.]

Quite good, anything above 1.2 M is good for BB.

[Loukas]

Big Brother: Power Trip with 1.2m (5.4%) at 9pm (122k/0.7%).

not bad for a sunday!

[Will.]

not bad for a sunday!

It's ok for Sunday, but it normally gets 1.4-5

To everyone saying its ok for a Sunday , Sunday is usually its highest rated show bar eviction (not so much eviction anymore) for some reason.

Guess people tune in to catch up just look at the officials to confirm this.

It deserved far higher it was such a good episode.

BB shouldn't allways be on at 10 either that's what has killed the ratings with the world cup and theres been countless posts on here wishing it was on at 9pm as they have work/school the next day.

[JohnnyBB]

Saturdays were 970k inc +1

[Kai Anders]

Your sig!! :lovedup:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Big Brother: Power Trip: 1.2m (6.6%) +1 not released yet will try find it this afternoon.

Channel 5 had a fantastic night.

Angry Britain 1.2m (5.6%) at 8pm

Benefits Britain 2.32m (10.6%) at 9pm (154k/0.9% on +1)

Big Brother: Power Trip: 1.2m at 10pm (6.6%)

It does piss me off they didn't release any +1' for their shows bar the Benefits one.

Why is there such a drop off after Benefits Britain it should be a great lead in for BB yet a million people switched off.

It had a good share though.

[JohnnyBB]

These benefit shows seem to pick up a good audience i said before this series started big brothers theme this year should have been about benefits with claiments entering the house for a chance to winn the 100 thousand pound it would have been a show and a half!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

These benefit shows seem to pick up a good audience i saod before this series started big brothers theme this year should have been about benefits with claiments entering the house!

I also said there should have been something involving all walks of life especially benefits.

Imagine the people on benefits having power over people who own their own businesses lol.

I am however gripped after these last 4 days it has been brilliant. Deserves way more viewers atleast 1.4/1.5 a night.

[Iceman]

Funny you said that about benefits. Josie Cunningham (benefit boob job mother) just said on loose women that she was approached but when she found out she was pregnant they ruled her out.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Funny you said that about benefits. Josie Cunningham (benefit boob job mother) just said on loose women that she was approached but when she found out she was pregnant they ruled her out.

Is she on benefits?

I know she got boob job on the NHS which is disgusting seeing as I had to pay 4k to go private for an op I needed in February but I didn't know whe was on benefits aswell.

Angers me even more.

[Iceman]

She was at the time I think. Now she doesnt and sells stories....the latest being she considered an abortion to go on BB but ultimately decided against it.

[Will.]

Does anyone know what last nights got?

[Jemal]

Yea 1.1m. 6.4% share
124k on +1 - 1.3%

[Jake.]

A good 7.7 share

[daniel-lewis-1985]

A good 7.7 share

You cant add up shares for different times lol.

Shares are live.

Anyway 1.1 is abysmal not even gonna lie.

Csi and even Dog Rescuers had a better rating..

Dog Rescuers interested 1.2m (6.2%) at 8pm. CSI thrilled 1.3m (6.3%)

Its really obvious now that big brother might have lost a good chunk of its veiwers and its nothing to do with the football ect, the evidence is growing stronger everythink on channel 5 is out performing big brother, there is a serious error of judgement here by producers.

CSI was on right before Big Brother, correct?

1.1 is embarrasing, I guess the only good thing is that at least not many tuned out after CSI :joker:

10pm is the latest a lot of people want to stay awake to especially when they have to get up for work early the next morning.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

10pm is the latest a lot of people want to stay awake to especially when they have to get up for work early the next morning.

Ah ok then.

Its because its on at 10pm, that's why the ratings are so poor :rolleyes:

What's the excuse for Paulines eviction only getting just over 1 million in a 9pm slot with no competition?

Didn't BB12,13 and 14 all air at 10pm most nights anyway?

*Waits for an abundance of excuses.

I'm not even saying that's the sole reason that the ratings are poor?

It's true though that most people who work and need to be up early won't stay up much later than 10pm on a week night.

BB has been on at 10pm pretty much all the time on Channel 5 in previous years.

Have people suddenly started to go to bed earlier? :o If so are our sleeping patterns as human beings evolving?

This is ground breaking stuff.

Thanks for that really well thought out informative addition to the thread there.

[Samm]

It used to get low ratings at 10 in previous years as well the ratings are down because it's on at 10PM and it clashes with the football half way through no body would want to watch as show half way through

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Thanks for that really well thought out informative addition to the thread there.

But its true you cant blame the ratings on it being on later because previous series have been on at the same time.

When it clashes with a big show then 100% yes but it really hasn't for a while.

The world cup isn't really competition anymore seeing as ratings aren't exactly mind blowing.

To be honest my post was sarcastic but contained more facts then whatever you have posted in a thread about ratings. You speculate and I go by the numbers provided officially and last nights ratings officially sucked anus.

[Samm]

As seen last Sunday the officials are good, so I'm not worried about overnights

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It used to get low ratings at 10 in previous years as well the ratings are down because it's on at 10PM and it clashes with the football half way through no body would want to watch as show half way through

Its not really clashing with football now and last nights England world cup final attracted less than 6 million but then like I said that didn't even clash with BB.

There was no competition last night and it still got 1.1 million theres no excuses these ratings are so depressing.

Its deserves far more the last week has had me gripped its been brilliant viewing.

I wasn't blaming the ratings on anything though or claiming that anything I posted was fact I was just adding my opinion to the discussion but anyway thanks for that one line up there of really well thought out information.

Yes it did the game kicked off at 9pm and lasted till 10:30pm

You're welcome.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What? The England game was on from 4pm till 6:30pm.

I think you're talking about Match of the day which got 4 million, not really a ratings smash either.

The world cup isn't really a massive threat now England re out, it still gets decent ratings but nothing really huge that dominates all channels.

There was no major competition for BB which got 1.1 million viewers just to reiterate last night.

4 Million is still big for 10PM so it is competition

[daniel-lewis-1985]

4 Million is still big for 10PM so it is competition

Firstly it started at 9pm and the audience for that time slot is usually similar when the football isn't on.

The football is not to blame.

The officials are coming in quite well but im afraid that Viacom will be looking at overnights as surely people investing in the show want their ads to be seen prime time and not on demand.

Surely its not just me who can see these overnights are worryingly low.

I have a feeling civilian BB has an uncertain future especially when the match kicked of at 9pm and Channel 5's CSI was watched by 1.31 million in the same slot and other programmes faired better and had only a slightly less share on Channel 5.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

BB has a good lead in tonight with The Hotel Inspector which usually gets around 1.7 on average I believe.

Love it :) but dunno if it has the same audience as BB.

Cmon BB you can do it!!!! lol Get that 1.5 like its 2013!!!

[JohnnyBB]

Brand New Home for £5k interested 831k (4.2%) at 8pm, followed by The Hotel Inspector Returns with 1.34m (6.3%) at 9pm. Big Brother: Power Trip continued with 1.06m (6.0%) at 10pm. :joker:

[Jarrod]

Meh. To be honest the shares are holding out well. That's always a good thing.

[Jemal]

This is gettin bad.. Lets be honest

[JohnnyBB]

This is gettin bad.. Lets be honest

If we do get 3 cheerfull housemates friday night it will help pick up the show fingers crossed, but the damage looks like its allready been done now.

[thediaryroomchair]

Ouch, these ratings are not good at all. I am watching the highlights from last night and it is like watching Eastenders but ten times worse. Just constant arguments.

[Kai Anders]

The official rating shave been released from Barb, sorry the table is a little confusing but hopefully it makes sense.. Although the series isn't performing well it is however still near top of C5s top 20.

1. Csi: Crime scene investigation (tue 2102) 1.82
2 big brother (tue 2200) 1.71
3 big brother (wed 2200) 1.56

[Scream]

Damn...I know twitter isn't much to go by but the amount of tweets coming through, mainly about Helen made me think it was going to have such better ratings

[Locke.]

Destroyed by The Dog Rescuers, can things get any worse

[Jarrod]

1.18 Million for live from the House though :love:

[Loukas]

The share being 6% makes me feel slightly better.. We need new housemates i think!

[Jamesy]

The share is good. The ratings on face value not so much. I think the first few days being a damp squid was enough damage to stop people watching this series.

1.18m for live in the house just proves that people will watch live feed too. Channel 5 are missing out big time on that.

[RichardG]

1.06m...

What was last nights excuse? Football? Hot weather? Everyone was partying? Everyone was sleepng? :laugh: :(

[Jarrod]

1.06m...

What was last nights excuse? Football? Hot weather? Everyone was partying? Everyone was sleepng? :laugh: :(

Show is old?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.18 Million for live from the House though :love:

I don't think its would get that now. That rating is higher than what the highlight shows are getting now its from a few weeks back isn't it.

I give up with these ratings last night was a brilliant episode but people just aren't tuning in theres nothing anyone can really do about it, it is what it is.

Hopefully they wont cancel the show. I cant even say learn from their mistakes either because this BB has got me hooked the house is brilliant, the housemates have come into their own and even though the tasks have been a bit meh they have been enough to cause fights in the house.

The biggest mistake Channel 5 made was not scheduling BB around the big football games and pitting it head to head. Shocking.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Show is old?

Im a celeb is 12 years old though.

[Jarrod]

Im a celeb is 12 years old though.

Yeah, that's a good point. I guess BB just has a solid fan base of 1 Million or so.

[Samm]

Football is destroying this season's ratings, that's my only view on it

Viacom take control on the 12th July so hopefully some news will come then

[Vladimir]

Was there football on last night?

yep, Switzerland - Honduras and France - Ecuador both at 9PM

[Samm]

Was there football on last night?

Yep, the good news is there in no Football on Friday

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I officially hate football now.

[JohnnyBB]

I officially hate football now.

Well i think your right what you saying this series gas gone to ****.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Well i think your right what you saying this series gas gone to ****.

Its plain to see but others will fight you to the end to prove you its doing fine.

[Jamesy]

I think a lot of things have damaged the series. The launches were crap. All the housemates appeared to have pretty much the same personality-wise and all appeared to be very boring people with no diversity. Obviously that has been proved wrong now but people will judge it by the first few pages. Since the launches left not a lot to leave to the imagination and the first few days weren't that exciting a lot of people were no doubt turned off by the series. As a BB fan I found the first week really hard to 'get into' myself.

Aside from that the footie and 10pm shows have not helped. Maybe the age of the show isn't helping too, but I don't think that's the answer for a 500-800k drop in figures in the space of a year (after a few successful series aired).

I suppose all rests on more officials coming out for now. Hopefully C5 learn from some mistakes and renew the show for a further series of two.

[Will.]

Its clear that bb has a solid fan base of 1 Million.

[Samm]

They should of not done a 2 part launch it ruined the ratings, I don't think they will do it next year

I want to see the BBUS ratings since they are doing a 2 part launch this year

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its clear that bb has a solid fan base of 1 Million.

Last year BB had a solid fan base of 2 million proven by the rise in launches, the final and episodes that were hitting above 2 million.

[Will.]

BB ratings have gone up and down over the past couple of years, they know how to improve the show, get normal down to earth people no semi celebs. I don't see why they do it, the viewers don't like it. This show might not have many likeable HMs but its bringing some good entertainment so far.

Its such a shame after seeing last years summers BB and Januarys CBB slaying then this :(

Its the course of 4.

This is channel 5's BB4.....Except its awesome to watch.

Yeah, CBB 13 and BB 14 we're brilliant. Still we are only in week 3, with 7 to go, so ratings can easily improve and it could still be a successful series with ratings.

[uniquedude]

Im a celeb is 12 years old though.

Imaceleb is the biggest viewing figures confusion ever, cannot believe the last series which was incredibly boring in places and still managed an average of over 11 million viewers and this bb is struggling to get 1.1 million lol

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yeah, CBB 13 and BB 14 we're brilliant. Still we are only in week 3, with 7 to go, so ratings can easily improve and it could still be a successful series with ratings.

Nah viewers seem to be dropping now and I don't think people will tune in after they have missed the first 3 weeks.

[uniquedude]

Nah viewers seem to be dropping now and I don't think people will tune in after they have missed the first 3 weeks.

To be fair a lot of people tuned into bb14 after the Daley thing and that was a month in

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I know, I don't get it.

If BB had had a 5 year rest and relaunched on itv with all this drama it would be a ratings smash.

1.1 million ffs!!!

[Will.]

What did last nights get?

[billy123]

Big Brother: 1.20m (6.8%) at 10pm.
It doesnt mention if its inc +1
from DS http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/news/a580757/celebrity-masterchef-bounces-back-to-35-million.html#~oInyZj2JZVHE1Z

[Samm]

wow, it did way better than last night, I'm confused how does it go to 1.1 and then up to 1.20 :joker:

[billy123]

Yes there doesnt seem to be any real pattern there must be 200,000 or so that sometimes watch it and sometimes dont bother.

[Jake.]

So with +1 it'll most likely be around 1.25-1.3

[jackc1806]

It's a steady performer

[JohnnyBB]

Veiwer figures goes up when theres no fight or arguements, this shows being edited the wrong way everyone just wants to see interactions and convosation.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

wow, it did way better than last night, I'm confused how does it go to 1.1 and then up to 1.20 :joker:

its not a massive difference its 100,000 but still good to see a rise.

+1 will be released later today hopefully.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Good morning!

Just got the +1 for Thursdays episode, not a massive improvement on the 1.2 but still.

Thursday 26th: Big Brother: Power Trip: 1.25

[Will.]

Fingers crossed the eviction got about 1.2 and above.

[mrmattybeck1]

1.21m for bb last night not bad without plus one

[Rob!]

Still pretty bad for an eviction.

[Jake.]

meh

[Will.]

not bad, its ok.

[CaudleHalbard]

Nowhere near CBB figures.

[Jamesy]

Nowhere near CBB figures.

Civilian series on C5 have never been any where near celeb ratings.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Civilian series on C5 have never been any where near celeb ratings.

The only civilian BB to even contend with CBB was BB14. the summer series straight after was only around 400,000 higher in its average which sounds a lot but for a CBB its very low.

I wonder what this years CBB will rate if the civilian series doesn't pick up. To be honest I would like to see summer CBB flop it just takes all the shine from the civilian series and basically just isn't needed.

be even more interesting wat Viacom will do with the franchise

[mrmattybeck1]

637k for bots

[*mazedsalv**]

I'm back from holiday guys! On the ratings front, incredibly consistent, it will not move from 1.2-1.4m, will it? Shame it hasn't grown though.

So, 1.25m for Thursday incl +1, and for last night 1.21m excl, hope we get to see the +1 figure!!

[Kai Anders]

I predict official overall ratings of 1.4 million this year! Only three out of 9 episodes were over the 1.4 mark and most aren't attracting great views compared to other series. Just hope the share is on par with previous series, this is more likely to ensure the show continues after the Viacom switchover. For TV it's almost always about the share! I imagine BB is hitting 6% shares! while CBB often attracts 8% in the summer and 10% in the winter.. Who knows this year!

1.4m officially? That would mean an overnight of around 1m, which doesn't look like it, as it stands now, it looks like it will be around 1.7m official. (1.3m overnights).

Its not going to be 1.4 officially is it unless the highlights continue to get 1.1 million then yeah but the current average is 1.3 so I'll make my final prediction on Monday when the officials are released. They need to be climbing by around 400k imo.

Right now I think it will average 1.6 but lets see how much they overnights jump on Monday. Some officials have been brilliant and some not so much. This year is just a mess ratings wise its all over the place and having to scower the internet for most of a day to find a +1 is really ****ing annoying.

Why aren't they releasing them? Yes a lot have been under 100,000 but still....

Remember last year when the highlights were hitting 1.6 and the officials scaling 2 million :( BB14 slayed.

[Will.]

BB 15 is averaging the same as BB 13 with the officials so far.

Agree with everything. Looking for +1 is a pisstake at the moment and even the officials without +1, but to be honest, DS did release the BARB officials with +1 a day early (last Sunday) but when BARB updated on Monday, a lot were missing +1 as they didn't reach the +1 Top 10. So all of the +1 officials do include +1, but Wikipedia has gone by BARB and had half of them missing the +1.

The timeshift this year has been ~400k so there is no reason it can't beat BB12 and BB13's 1.6m at this time, like I said, if it stays the way it has, we are looking at 1.7m

And again, agreed at BB14. It did slay, Daley's ejection and the aftermath getting 2.10m and 2.11m were brilliant for civilian BB and still remain the two highest highlight show on Ch5 for a regular BB, along with both Sallie's eviction going over 2m and Dan's eviction almost hitting 2m (I think).This is the time last year where the ratings climbed (Week 3-ish) and hit it's peak between Week 5 (Daley) to Week 7.

[duclos]

Was there football on last night?

Nope

[duclos]

They should of not done a 2 part launch it ruined the ratings, I don't think they will do it next year

I want to see the BBUS ratings since they are doing a 2 part launch this year

BBUS Ratings
6.64 million - Launch #1
6.56 million - Launch #2

We Americans don't lose interest in a show just because the Housemates are bad. We just root for the others.

[Samm]

Your population is about over 300 Million so you have about the same ratings as the UK, bye

[Vladimir]

Your population is about over 300 Million so you have about the same ratings as the UK, bye

Not really, BB is still a rating success in the USA. It beats most of the scripted shows on ABC, FOX, NBC and even CBS.

[Jarrod]

Your population is about over 300 Million so you have about the same ratings as the UK, bye

The amount of networks and shows that actually air in America... their BB is a huge hit.

[Samm]

oh

[*mazedsalv**]

It's odd, BBUSA is one of the only current BB that has been increasing over years.

[Kai Anders]

BBUSA has always struck odd with me. It's true. American media is LITTERED with so much television, not to mention english-speaking channels. I read somewhere that one channel 'Univision' is in fact America's 6th most watched Channel, despite being almost all in Spanish!

BB does a great success for CBS, and compared to some shows such as Family Guy, whose ratings are around the 4 million mark, while other shows like CSI are hitting 9-10 million it seems to strike a balance between 'enough'. The show has a wide following, not just in the USA, Canadian ratings for the show also regularly top many viewing figures charts around over a million, (these are even better for the Canadian edition)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

They need to release as much viewers as possible to bulk up these figures

Anyway found the +1 for Friday ....FINALLY

Big Brother: Power Trip live eviction 1.21

Big Brother: Power Trip live eviction 1.3 (+1 added)

It came last in its slot.

Just me or are these +1 figures way down aswell? I recall last summer adding around 200k an episode but now its 90k and even 50k the other night.

Heres an example from Friday nights schedule showing the audience is still there and +1 adds a great deal extra to the ratings with other shows.

8 Out Of 10 Cats 1.21 (same as BB)

Then add +1 of 200,900

8 Out Of 10 Cats 1.5

You would think this Helen situation would be making the headlines and dragging in viewers because to me she is the Daley incident 2.0 every highlights show.

Lets see what happens when she gets ejected, walks or has a breakdown when the inevitable happens and Ash leaves. There may be another "gate" brewing which is what we need :)

[mrmattybeck1]

I didnt watch the show last night.
Only last 15 mins of it. For some reason i dont feel nessacry to watch over eviction night apart from last 15 mins which is the aftermath of the eviction.

[*mazedsalv**]

Excluding +1, isn't that the highest rated Saturday?

I hate that opinion.

The Saturday show literally shows 5 minutes of the eviction and the rest is a new highlights show.

After almost a decade and a half people still cant get that into their head.

933k (4.5%) is without plus 1, +1 will probably add around 50k I think nothing to get excited about it should be released later today.

If the share is more important Channel 5 surely aren't happy with 4.5% when I heard somewhere they would be happy with a reliable 6% for the highlights.

BBXtra don't understand how BB ratings work. I don't see how it 'crashed' when almost every Saturday show for a regular series on Channel 5 has been around the 1m mark for the last three years.

[Jarrod]

Live feed again... it's nothing to do with that. The fact is that the show isn't what it was, and Live Feed isn't enough to bring back old viewers.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

He needs to get his ratings correct it was only 30k off hitting the million mark +1 added 67,000 viewers so its correct over night is 997k right?

Lets compare it to the new TOWIE which is getting around 600,000 at the moment :) that should make us feel slightly better lol.

Not great but its a Saturday and ratings have generally been down and to be honest not a huge drop off from what the highlights are getting.

I know nothing about ratings...is that really all Towie gets? :eek:

I'm quite shocked at that btw. Oh and I don't watch it never actually seen an ep but I thought it was really popular.

[Raph]

I see the highlights dropping to like 800k by the end of this series. BB14 was just so much better than this series in every single way and the numbers say it all.

:joker: mess

[*mazedsalv**]

I think getting 1m on a Saturday is decent for the series, after it logged only 1.6m for it's 2nd launch, I would have thought that it would have gone to around 700k at this point on a Saturday against World Cup.

It's an extremely solid performer, very static, 900k-1m for Saturdays, 1.2-1.4m for highlights/evictions. No more, no less.

From DS:

Friday
Channel 5
21:00 - Big Brother - Live Eviction: 1.29m (6.6%)
22:35 - Big Brother's Bit on the Side: 0.69m (5.0%)
23:35 - Stand by Your Man: 0.21m (2.5%)

Saturday

I know its weird, its made some of the cast millionaires, household names even yet BB housemates are on tv everyday and don't emerge celebs even though they are on tv everynight for 70 odd days.

How much did you think it got? lol Its not doing to bad actually this series its about 300/400k behind BB not bad when its not even on a proper channel.

The day TOWIE beats BB is the day BB dies for me.

Sunday 22nd: TOWIE 920,000 including +1

Sunday 22nd: Big Brother: 1.3 including +1million

Wednesday 25th: TOWIE: 771,000 including +1

Is a sad site to see looking at the eviction ratings though I don't think we expected these 1.0/1.2 and under and Sunday shows are really not up to the usual standard but are proving the highest performing day on +1.

0.21m is 210,000 mate, but yeah, a flop. 21k would be 0.021m. Imagine that :laugh:

And with the 1.29m and 1.30m, not too sure, maybe there was a difference of being tapechecked so 1.30m could be the actual rating.

[JohnnyBB]

If the scrapped stand by your man and replaced it from live from the house they could get 700k-1.0m in raitings, when will silly channel 5 learn.

[*mazedsalv**]

If the scrapped stand by your man and replaced it from live from the house they could get 700k-1.0m in raitings, when will silly channel 5 learn.

Agreed, it has worked in the past. Lets say 1.3m for the eviction, around 700k for BOTS, I reckon Live would get around half a million (which would result in a higher share than BOTS).

I remember during CBB9, Live Feed was hitting 1m on 5*! I think one of them became the highest 5* rating of all time.

[Samm]

also Agree look what Live feed got last Monday officially BIG BROTHER: LIVE FROM THE HOUSE (MON 2203) 1.18

[daniel-lewis-1985]

0.21m is 210,000 mate, but yeah, a flop. 21k would be 0.021m. Imagine that :laugh:

And with the 1.29m and 1.30m, not too sure, maybe there was a difference of being tapechecked so 1.30m could be the actual rating.

Omg no I meant 210,000 hahaha!

[duclos]

Your population is about over 300 Million so you have about the same ratings as the UK, bye

Yet that is seen as amazing ratings and will definitely be renewed for next year.

[JohnnyBB]

Sunday 1.03m tuned in. exc +1

[Jamesy]

It wouldn't surprise me if Stand by Your Man did get 21,000 tbh. :laugh:

I tried watching it and god it was awful. A Take Me Out post-watershed style show was never going to work.

C5 would get far higher viewers by having live in the house showing instead!

[Kai Anders]

Live from the house would prove so much more successful, and I imagine a lot cheaper too.. Plus have you seen the recent highlights shows.. Most of the drama seems to happen after 11.. So it'd make a lot of sense! But we're all aware of C5 now.. They're stupid and definitely do not consider sticking with what they know! Oh well.. Guess it's their fault! Perhaps Viacom will be a little more structured and spend a lot of time researching the shows it airs or plans to air! Family Guy on BBC Three usually hits around 500K at the same time as stand by your man, it often hits around 6-8% in shares! Put it this way. Stand by your Man has no proper place. It failed in a good slot, it failed in a bad slot! I'd have much prefered that Celebrity Super Spa show.. Failing that.. MORE BB!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Sunday 1.03m tuned in. exc +1

Terrible rating considering Sunday is usually its highest rated and its on at 9pm.

It got 1.1 including +1.

Anyone got the officials they are released today.

[Samm]

Officials, Looks good imo

BENEFITS BRITAIN: LIFE ON THE DOLE (MON 2100) 2.54
2 BIG BROTHER (MON 2200) 1.67

10 BIG BROTHER (SAT 2101) 1.13

[JohnnyBB]

OUCHHH!

[Brother Leon]

It's not bad in comparison at all taking into consideration the World CuP this year and the fact there was no sport competition last year really.

[Samm]

Heres the comparison to last year:

BB15: Sunday: 1.42
BB14: Sunday: 1.78

BB15: Monday: 1.67
BB14: Monday: 1.79

BB15: Tuesday: 1.49
BB14: Tuesday: 1.80

BB15: Wednesday: 1.65
BB14: Wednesday: 1.64

BB15: Thursday: 1.52
BB14: Thursday: 1.77

BB15: Friday: 1.41
BB14: Friday: 1.61

BB15: Saturday: 1.13
BB14: Saturday: 1.39

But last year there was no major sporting events that was against BB14, it is still a big climb from the overnights to the Officials

[Iceman]

They arent bad at all.

[*mazedsalv**]

Here are the officials, some include +1, some don't.

Monday- 1.66m excl +1
Tuesday- 1.49m excl +1
Wednesday- 1.65m excl +1
Thursday- 1.65m incl +1
Friday- 1.52m incl +1
Saturday- 1.28m incl +1
Sunday- 1.58m incl +1

OK figures for BB, looks like an official of 1.6m like BB12 and BB13 if it stays like this, annoying that the Monday and Weds would have gotten 1.7m+ with +1.

[Kai Anders]

I'd go as far as to say the ratings are pretty good! Yes a drop of 200K isn't necessarily positive, but a drop of 200K is much better than a more substantial drop, for example the switch from BB on C4 and BB on C5 which lost 1.4 MILLION viewers! Plus the fact that 200K is so little in comparison is very good. You can never expect ratings to be on par, or to grow, year on year, it's all down to influence, competition, weather, housemates, theme, design, schedule, and a whole lot more!

And with high retentions in terms of catch-up, demand services etc. It's clear BB still has a very large following!

I'm hoping tonight scores well once again.. with the benefits documentary behind it, it appears as though Channel 5 are successful with their monday nights! It's perhaps one of the few days I ONLY watch Channel 5 from around 8-12!

[Kai Anders]

We should also point out, that although many believe the lack of 'good' ratings are to do with this year's theme, HM, etc. It should be worth mentioning the fact that there are perhaps shows that are just a little better, it's not to say this one show is bad due to low ratings, when taking the official ratings into account it appears that many still like to watch the show, but prefer to do so in their own time (which could provide good evidence for any possibility of live feed!)

[*mazedsalv**]

Agree about Mondays, it used to be the lowest rated day along with Saturday in the Ch4 years, now in the last couple of series, it has been the highest. Ch5 Mondays are really coming together IMO.

[*mazedsalv**]

Oooh, we have +1 for the first three days now, so altogether.

Monday- 1.77m incl +1

Thursday- 1.65m incl +1
Friday- 1.52m incl +1
Saturday- 1.28m incl +1
Sunday- 1.58m incl +1

Great figures for Wednesday and Monday especially.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Here are the officials, some include +1, some don't.

Monday- 1.66m excl +1
Tuesday- 1.49m excl +1
Wednesday- 1.65m excl +1
Thursday- 1.65m incl +1
Friday- 1.52m incl +1
Saturday- 1.28m incl +1
Sunday- 1.58m incl +1

OK figures for BB, looks like an official of 1.6m like BB12 and BB13 if it stays like this, annoying that the Monday and Weds would have gotten 1.7m+ with +1.

Well I may aswell delete my painstakenly long reply seeing as the other officials were wrong lol.

These are week 2 yeah?

[*mazedsalv**]

Well I may aswell delete my painstakenly long reply seeing as the other officials were wrong lol.

Yep, also just posted the other three with +1, impressive, Monday got 1.8m.

[Kai Anders]

Oooh, we have +1 for the first three days now, so altogether.

Monday- 1.77m incl +1
Tuesday- 1.59m incl +1
Wednesday- 1.73m incl +1
Thursday- 1.65m incl +1
Friday- 1.52m incl +1
Saturday- 1.28m incl +1
Sunday- 1.58m incl +1

So happy to see that out of the 7 shows, 6 were above 1.5 million! And with the Saturday one being the only that wasn't, (as they're always lowly rated) it's still an excellent result! (btw - how was the holiday?)

Just looking at the ratings for other series my god BB13 was smashing it at this point.

BB12 wasn't really that far behind BB14/15 actually some episodes beating both and there was no +1 back then either it took while for BB14 to really build up didn't it.

BB15 is adding a lot in +1 figures.

BB13 really was smashing it at this point! And your right about BB14, starting from Week 4 is when it started dominating (so around next week in terms of this series). BB13 did the opposite between W4-5 because of the Euro and build ups to the Olympics.
Hoping BB15 does a BB14 and increases instead of a BB13!

[Samm]

The World cup ends after Week 5 so I'm hoping for the overnights to go up around about week 6

Actually looking at the BB13 ratings I really cant understand how it only got 1.6 with such a high launch and it was only really week 7, 8 and 10 had highlight shows falling below 1.5 :/

The 1st 6 weeks only 4 highlight shows dropped below 1.5 million and the rest were considerably higher, even the lower weeks don't look that low until week 10 they really wasn't dropping below 1.5 that much.

So BB15 is actually doing ok at this point we have had some dreadful overnights this last week or so though so hoping they do the same in officials.

[uniquedude]

I hate that opinion.

The Saturday show literally shows 5 minutes of the eviction and the rest is a new highlights show.

After almost a decade and a half people still cant get that into their head.

933k (4.5%) is without plus 1, +1 will probably add around 50k I think nothing to get excited about it should be released later today.

If the share is more important Channel 5 surely aren't happy with 4.5% when I heard somewhere they would be happy with a reliable 6% for the highlights.

LOL so true, my mum still refuses to watch the first highlights episode of any bb because she thinks its a repeat of the launch and a lot of the time some juicy stuff happens on those highlights like Jasmine Waltz getting her boobies out or the beanie snatch that some people totally miss.

Yeah true, Week 5 to Week 6 was the fatal blow that BB13 got and then the last week of BB13 finished it off. I mean the last 4 officials were 1.39m, 1.17m, 790,000 (closing ceremony) and 1.76m (final).

[uniquedude]

I know its weird, its made some of the cast millionaires, household names even yet BB housemates are on tv everyday and don't emerge celebs even though they are on tv everynight for 70 odd days.

How much did you think it got? lol Its not doing to bad actually this series its about 300/400k behind BB not bad when its not even on a proper channel.

The day TOWIE beats BB is the day BB dies for me.

Sunday 22nd: TOWIE 920,000 including +1

Sunday 22nd: Big Brother: 1.3 including +1million

Wednesday 25th: TOWIE: 771,000 including +1

Wednesday 25th: Big Brother : 1.1 million including +1

The amount of times this has entered my head lol, I literally cannot believe Towie gets less than bb considering all of the media attention it gets and MIC and how everyone seems to know who Joey Essex is.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I know its like you would never see Gina on Im a celeb because even though she was on a higher rated show she isn't even z list.

They seriously are missing out some BB housemates would be tv gold on that!

Imagine Nikki Grahame haha.

I would LOVE to have seen what would have happened to Sallie/Gina/Hazel/Dexter if they were in an earlier channel 4 big brother I can imagine the ratings would have gone through the roof.

[*mazedsalv**]

I would LOVE to have seen what would have happened to Sallie/Gina/Hazel/Dexter if they were in an earlier channel 4 big brother I can imagine the ratings would have gone through the roof.

Completely agree, BB14 currently is like the BB3/BB5 of the Ch5 series as BB3and BB5 are the two highest raters on ch4, as BB14 is the highest Ch5 one. I imagine if on Channel 4, BB14 would have been a 5m sort of series if it was during the golden years of 2002-2006, especially as the Gina/Sallie thing happened on the first proper hl show!

[Will.]

What did last nights get? anyone know

[Jemal]

1.04m excl +1

[JohnnyBB]

Bots got 500k

[*mazedsalv**]

1.04m excl +1 :(

Ahh, why will it not go up???? !!

[Loukas]

We need a set of new housemates, The Helen show is turning away viewers!

[Rob!]

So much for Mondays being the highest rated day... It's really not that far off the Saturday rating :(

Yeah! Something BB hasn't done, BB's first ever Triple eviction! Get rid of 2 at once and interview them together.. then to shock the house get rid of one more for good measure.

Then put in 3 new housemates.. 2 girls and a guy (BB6-esque)

yeah exactly :thumbs:
Throw in Jenny too :whistle:
:hehe:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

This is seriously like BB13 ratings when it was up against the ****ing Olympics, if not lower now!

These overnights are barely hitting 1 million, the last 2 highlights shows haven't helped though with the Danielle/Ashleigh show.

+1 will be released later probably still under 1.1

[billy123]

The bad thing about all of it is that as much as you keep falling back on the officials making it look a bit better, The money people and the Advertisers only give a crap about the overnight and the +1 they aren't interested in the officials im afraid because what they add doesn't necessarily get theirs ads viewed.
On demand and sky+ etc means skipping ads.

[JohnnyBB]

We need new housemates this friday atleast 3 the show needs it.

That's exactly what ive been saying all along and that's why I was stressing how important the overnights were when others were so relaxed about it.

Its the final series of the contract I think its time to seriously start thinking of it getting the chop now.

[Brother Leon]

New housemates aren't changing anything. Just wait until the WC ends and pull off a huge twist to try pull some viewers back. As if having some "Joyful newbies" will Make any difference when It is France V Germany on Friday.

[billy123]

That's exactly what ive been saying all along and that's why I was stressing how important the overnights were when others were so relaxed about it.

Its the final series of the contract I think its time to seriously start thinking of it getting the chop now.I have stayed out of here because i hate to see it struggle and people put such a great spin on the figures but the ad revenue is based on the overnights and they have been well down so far the people that pay for adverts couldn't care less about officials.

[Jake.]

Demand 5 do play adverts as well, but yeah I get what you are all saying

[Jamesy]

Do C5 have the balls to put in new housemates though? In fact, do they have people on standby anymore? I sadly cannot see them putting new people in.

[Jarrod]

Yeah! Something BB hasn't done, BB's first ever Triple eviction! Get rid of 2 at once and interview them together.. then to shock the house get rid of one more for good measure.

Why do triple when you can have quadruple like BB11? :idc:

[Cal.]

I agree with the new housemates thing, it may not boost the ratings much but they need a few more girls to liven the place up. All the girls we've had our boring and moody, although Jale did have potential to be fun. We not a few girls who aren't afraid to strip off or have fun, girls like Kinga and Orlaith from BB6 would be good.

[Vladimir]

That's a great idea! They should put them all up next week with a vote to save and get rid of at least three bores (hopefully Christopher, Winston, Marlon). And then put three new hms in.

[aman201]

Let's be honest, the series isn't very enticing.

I'm struggling to tune into every episode.

Unthinkable for me for BB13 and BB14.

When I hear about Monday's poor ratings.

[*mazedsalv**]

It's a bit depressing really. Tomorrow and Thursday there is no World Cup competition, it would have been the perfect time to have a 9pm, but sadly it's on at 10pm. Then Friday is against the quarter finals.

I predict 1.2m-1.3m for tomorrow and Thursday. Such a shame, hopefully they pick up when the world cup ends, but it may be a little too late now. Positive I guess is that CBB follows and will most certainly increase surely (not good news for people who dislike CBB), but to be fair, CBB13 was better than BB15. Well CBB13 was the best of all Ch5 series IMO anyway. CBB14 will probably be around the same as CBB10 (2.2m official, 1.8m overnight).No where near as CBB13's 3.04m.

I think the housemates will know that BB isn't doing too well if they do this, because mass evictions/entrances are usually done when the show is struggling, so the current HMs will probably ham it up. :p

Look at CBB13, there was minimal manipulations (well less than usual), no new entries and no more than single evictions. Also BB14 had no real doubles did they? and no new entrances.

As depressing as it is it is nice to see forum members finally stop making excuses for it, it was getting to the point of the thread just turning into a debate about the football every day.

Its clear its not just the football and people are now realising these overnights are very poor and admitting it, its like im not fighting an army of the glass half full crew.

It is what it is, all we can hope for is they pick up after the footie ends but I don't think its all down to the football. I think its mostly due to a very underwhelming launch and boring first few highlight shows that it just didn't grab people or make them want to tune in.

I feel like it might be the end of civilian BB and who can blame Viacom when they have shows like Geordie Shore that are getting over a million for every episode (season 7 anyway) and is far cheaper. Geordie Shore is still growing as BB was but its taken a battering and has plummeted.

They also have to think of the media interest on social networks and how much publicity that brings in and the Geordie shore cast have over 9 million followers :o.

Compare that to BB.

I reckon this won't be the last civilian. I think Ch5 would want to promote the last series to **** to ensure more people watch, this way they know they did their best to make it go out on a high.

CBB on the other hand, will be staying for ages yet, especially Jan series.

[Loukas]

Why do triple when you can have quadruple like BB11? :idc:

But this is Channel 5's last BB really, Viacom are taking over so theres no way of telling if it will be renewed or moved to another Channel they own.

In the semi-final 4 people were evicted one after the other. I guess they just decided to **** it and do things that they'd refrained from doing throughout the past series'.

[Loukas]

isn't that the same thing? :laugh:

well i dont remember the BB11 twist, was it 2 pairs of housemates leaving the house or was it 4 people leaving the house separately?

Series 7 of Geordie shore got between 800,000 - 900,000 views an episode and that was the official not over night. BB gets between 600,000 - 800,000 views more with there officials. Launch got 2.48, nearly 2 million above the opening of Geordie shore series 7.

They would never axe the main show it would be like axing Doctor who and keeping Torchwood, Big Brother is also the name of the company and the TV program it's self and all there Twitter, YouTube, etc it also is the brand of the show

Also the price for running a CBB for 3 months or even a month would be very expansive since they run one in Winter as well, Also half of the fan base that has been keeping the show alive will leave and stop watching

Good point. BB is the main show, if BB goes, surely CBB would go and they certainly won't let CBB go, especially not after January. So either they both stay on Ch5 or both go to another channel, or both go altogether.

That's no true.

Including +1 every episode got over 1 million and that is very very impressive for MTV.

Their +1 figures are also on par or higher than Channel 5's at the moment.

Im not talking **** go look at the TOTAL viewers not just the official with +1. (pic at the bottom of post to prove it)

BB costs a lot of money and takes a staff, crew of god knows how many to work 24/7 that's a lot of expense so you have to look at it from a buyers point of view. Is it worth spending all that cash on something when you can get the same or more from something cheaper.

Side note: BB got 60,000 +1 viewers last night so the episode got 1.1million

I think the obsession with ratings is crazy. Ive never really been bothered about them until this year when all that people were posting about was ratings.

I dont care what they are if im honest. I prefer to enjoy the show and not worry about what happens. Im certainly not going to spend my summer complaining its getting axed....which is still unfounded speculation by the way.

GS does extremely well for MTV but to be fair in BB's defence, GS won't be anywhere near that in another 8 years time.

BB should be getting praised in future to still being usually the channels top show after 14 years and over 30 series (including BBCH, Teen BB etc...).

Theres not just 1 contract that exists, contracts change all the time and they could specify that they want to run CBB for 3 months in the summer and scrap BB.....Who knows?

We have no idea, you cant say they would never axe Big Brother especially when its been axed once already. Big Brother is not the name of the company either its Endemol.

Cutting out Normal BB and Having 1 long CBB or 2 CBB's a year wouldn't be that much different in cost because the 3 month cost of civilian BB would no longer exist.

Lets be honest we all thought we would have heard if BB was renewed by now, it seems to me they are watching it closely and deciding wether its worth it.

That's no true.

Including +1 every episode got over 1 million and that is very very impressive for MTV.

Their +1 figures are also on par or higher than Channel 5's at the moment.

Im not talking **** go look at the TOTAL viewers not just the official with +1. (pic at the bottom of post to prove it)

BB costs a lot of money and takes a staff, crew of god knows how many to work 24/7 that's a lot of expense so you have to look at it from a buyers point of view. Is it worth spending all that cash on something when you can get the same or more from something cheaper.

Side note: BB got 60,000 +1 viewers last night so the episode got 1.1million

Worst mistake in BB history.

This felt more like the final....All the best housemates left (bar Steve).

I know. I was so upset about this at the time. Those 4 should have been in the final. :fist:

And most tv shows announce if theyre returning at the end of the current run.

Good point. BB is the main show, if BB goes, surely CBB would go and they certainly won't let CBB go, especially not after January. So either they both stay on Ch5 or both go to another channel, or both go altogether.

Who made the rule that BB and CBB had to coexist.

Why cant there be a CBB without BB?

Where have you seen this? I don't get how people come to this conclusion.

CBB is a stand alone series now, it gets far more than double the viewers and god knows how much press attention im sure Endemol would be willing to agree to just show CBB.

This is the case in India where Big Boss only has celebrity housemates.
