Singer Takes All which everybody expected to destroy BB came last in it's slot and launched with 1.16m :joker:

Brilliant:) c4 still hasn't found a proper replacement for bb apart from Gogglebox really

[Will.]

Good for BB, the singer takes it all was actually quite good, I preferred it to X factor as it's a lots shorter and the concept is more interesting and fun, but like the Jump a few things need to be changed. Channel 4 need to stop competing with BB, by putting reality shows up against it, because BB always seems to wins, Channel 4 is so stupid. If they put the singer takes it all on Saturday at 8 or 10, it would do well probably. But great rating for BB, pleased with that.

I agree, they should focus on getting some decent programming and not trying to strangle their own ex-show. You'd think they'd leave BB alone tbh, they axed it and you'd think they still had a little admiration for it.

[Jake.]

lmao at that singing show :joker: at least BB has been consistent

[Cal.]

Is the average above 1.5? Because if it is hopefully that means we're getting another series.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.54 at the moment.

This week has seen a rise in ratings which I wasn't expecting so late on but the ratings are still pretty low.

BB has been advertised on some other channels recently though, some satellite channels that Viacom own so nothing major but it could be the reason for the slight increase.

[Cal.]

1.54 at the moment.

I hope it either stays there or goes up, a 1.6 average would be good but I think we might finish with a 1.3 or 1.4 average.

I agree, if they like BB so much they should try and get the contract back, and this competing thing with Channel 4 and 5 will stop, but then ch5 will do the same. I did't watch The singer.... all last night, watched it on 4oD this morning. I was annoyed they were on at the same time as they both appealed to me, if it was on at 8, the singer takes it all would have done well.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I switched over to the singer takes it all for the first 10 minutes of BB which is just recaps of the week.

I wasn't impressed at all it came across very cheap, I can see it dropping to around 500k and being pushed back to 11pm.

Ratings wouldn't go up if it was on Channel 4 though would they really? On Channel 5 its shown it can get 3 millions, so I think the battle would continue. I think Channel 4 are hit and miss with their schedules, sometimes they're dead on like when they played Rise of the Planet of the Apes on eviction night and Titanic at the beginning of Armageddon, but sometimes they're just silly and ruin their own shows.

So far the only 'good shows' they've managed to produce since BB is Gogglebox and Benefits Street. I don't even understand what makes them the inferior channel anymore, they have Hollyoaks and a few dodgy reality TV shows, Deal or No Deal and Come Dine With Me, Channel 5 has Benefits Britain: Life on The Dole, Big Brother, Neighbours, Home and Away, Dangerous Dogs and Autopsy: The Last Hours of.

Cbb won't rate much higher I don't think

[Rob!]

In my view, as far as renewal is concerned, the only channel BB needs to worry about in terms of other shows beating it is the one it's on. Quite a few of C5's shows have beaten BB this year, shows that are a lot cheaper to produce.

I just hope that the fact BB and CBB are on for around 120 days of the year (inc. January in this statistic) it fairs cheaper in the long run IMO. Imagine the budgetig required for 120-150 hours worth of shows, plus with BOTS that could see nearly 250 hours worth of extra programming, and with channel 5 being such a small broadcaster, I'd doubt they'd have the people power to even be able to do so.. Not to mention having just layed off the employees who would have worked on BB.. In my opinion, BB would remain on the channel for this idea alone, as if they ditch, it'd be hard to regain good balance in rating numbers, plus so much more time and money would be required! I suspect it would follow channel 4s steps. Most shows are being beaten by BB and other shows too, yet there are still some that pull in good viewing figures, e.g. Googlebox, 1 born, Educating Yorkshire etc.

[Rob!]

DS reporting that singer takes all only got 900k without +1! :laugh:

Channel 5 is hardly "such a small broadcaster" is it.

Even worse than I expected

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Without +1 BB got 1.15 million (5.8%) so wheres the 1.3 coming from? I don't think it would have achieved 1.3m that would mean 150k watched on +1 when it only usually adds around 90k.

BOTS did really bad with 597k (4.7%) compare that to last year which was getting around 700k/900k.

[Jay.]

So glad it beat that singing show, I watched a bit of it and it was a complete flop.

[Kai Anders]

Channel 5 is hardly "such a small broadcaster" is it.

It's actually got one of the smallest employee numbers and budget of the major broadcasters. BBC, ITV, C4, Sky, UKTV and Viacom have more employees and all but UKTV and Viacom have a bigger budget. So.. yeh, it is pretty small in comparison!

It usually gets 90K on plus one because of the timeslot it's in during the week (10PM live, 11PM +1)

Tellymix tends to round it up

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Tellymix tends to round it up

That's a big round up though lol if they were rounding up they should have said 1.25 not 1.3.

They added 60,000 fictional viewers.

I knew something was off when I saw that rating without +1.

Same usually telly mix are quite accurate

Meh, crap rating for an eviction but if it's beating C4 then I'm happy. Did it beat BBC2?

Nope bb came third

[Rob!]

Nope bb came third

So it didn't beat bbc2 but still came 3rd? It beat ITV?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Nope bb came third

It came 4th and was 300k behind BBC2.

[mrmattybeck1]

It came 4th and was 300k behind BBC2.
At least it beat c4

[*mazedsalv**]

The official average is actually 1.60m with +1 added, the 1.54m is with more than 1/3 of the +1 missing.

As for last nights rating, as long as its beating its rival Channel 4, I am positive BB is safe. I mean, what else continuously beats Ch4 in the slot? Ch5 wouldn't dare to drop it.

[mrmattybeck1]

Ratings 829k last night without plus one

[CaudleHalbard]

I can't see why C5 would drop their flagship show. Does anything else on C5 get higher ratings?

Some documentaries sometimes but nothing gets bb figures 7 days a week

Channel 4 destroyed 5 with yet another repeat of The Inbetweeners movie (3rd time since last autumn) with 1.7m including +1

I never bother with the Saturday show usually just a recap of Friday night

Oh ffs NO ITS NOT!

Its a complete new highlight show which contains about 5 minutes of the eviction.

*Bangs head against wall*

Gina and Sallies infamous fight happened on a Saturday highlight show.

Honestly after 15 series people still don't get it.

[mrmattybeck1]

It is for me utter waste of time

Well you've missed out on some legendary fights.

You are wrong in saying its just a recap of the eviction because its not and that's a fact.

The eviction is only covered for a very small part of the show.

Oh right think I will leave it there

[Rob!]

There is no way you can even muster an argument to say that the Saturday is any different from any other night. The eviction from inside the house takes about 2 minutes. It's not like we're made to watch everything going on outside with Emma and the crowd. It's like saying you don't watch the first HL show after launch because you've watched them all go in :joker:

[mrmattybeck1]

By the way will there be a separate new ratings thread for cbb does anyone know

Same I usually can't hack it as its very negative but as bb has been so bad this year it deserves these ratings

[mrmattybeck1]

1.05m for bbuk last night that must be one of the worst Sunday ratings

[jackc1806]

Channel 5's Big Brother continued with 1.05m (4.8%) at 9pm (132k/0.7%)

So 1.18m

[Samm]

It was up against the closing ceremony of the commonwealth games

[Rob!]

BBC1 apparently won every single timeslot yesterday.

That's not bad considering the games finished with 6.7m.

How come The Mill got 1.47 on Channel 4 when its been getting about 500k lol.

Crap for a Sunday night rating I wonder what the officials will be today.

Channel 4 is literally the most confusing channel atm ratings wise. Like Utopia did fairly well with the first series, this second one BOMBED!? At least BB is somewhat more structured, imagine how drastically different the ratings could be!

The ratings are meh for a Sunday, wished they were higher, but again, fair competition from BBC One, Respectable for C5, less so for the show!

Not bad and your wrong on the series average Salv said it was 1.60 with +1

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Not bad and your wrong on the series average Salv said it was 1.60 with +1

Like I posted some are excluding +1 and 1.6 is just a likely estimate seeing as so many +1 figures are annoyingly awol.

This week is the highest rated bar week 1.

[*mazedsalv**]

Good to see the officials at the highest since the first week, and yep, with like almost half of the +1 ratings missing the official average is 1.55m, however with the +1 figures it is more around the 1.60m-1.63m range.

I contacted BBspy who did put the +1 for two weeks, but have yet to do it for last weeks officials and now when I get (this week), but they have the official average of 1.57m:

I know people are saying Channel 5 will have to fill hundreds of hours of tv if they cancel BB but obviously Viacom must be a little unsure as to carry on with the show with the decline this year.

The filling the hours of tv theory works in the opposite way aswell. What if they renew it and it gets lower than the overnights of 1.2 its usually getting at the mo? Its dangerously close to the main highlight shows regularly falling below 1 million and in that situation they are stuck with an underperforming show for 3 months.

I cant see ratings increasing for next year it seems to have lost even core viewers who would usually stick by it no matter what.

The producers really ****ed the show in the arse this year after a brilliant series last year and Januarys CBB I have no idea what they were thinking.

I know the world cup is to blame for a fare few highlights rating low but we cant blame the whole series on it. The fact is the same amount of people tuned in on launch night as last year, it retained the fans then after the abortion of part 1 hundreds of thousands switched off for the 2nd launch.

[Jamesy]

I think if they do renew it they will only renew it for a year. If they look into the history of the show they will know you can have a bad series then a great one. Then if BB16 falls flat on it's arse it will be goodbye BBUK.

This series was doomed from launch night. I found it one of the most dull launches ever and didn't like any of the housemates. They all seemed the same and boring people who would not make a good series. That no doubt put off a load of people straight away.

The cast and lack of advertising are the main blames this year, in my opinion. The continuous twists every week have damaged the series too. Channel 5 doesn't have a massive audience, why can't they put adverts on channels like ITV prior to the launch? This year especially it has felt like C5 can't be arsed with their own main show of the year.

I'm just hoping Viacom see something and poke their noses in to make some big changes to the show and the people who make it.

See...they're pretty good. I'm kind of confused cause there's so many people bemoaning this series as the worst one ever (unjustly in my view, it's not the best, but it's certainly not the worst, not even the worst on C5) but yet the Offical viewing figures are still alright.

Yep next year competition will be much better perfect time to revamp the show

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yep next year competition will be much better perfect time to revamp the show

How can you revamp a show that's on 3 times a year though?

It all kind of blends into one.

It doesn't need a revamp or makeover that is whats killing it. It just needs to be Big Brother and kept simply to people living in a house watched 24/7 without producers interfering.

They forget that the concept of BB is still fascinating and makes it far superior to other reality shows but they have downgraded it intentionally to fit in with shows like towie ect.

This year was supposed to be about technology, its embaressing that the technology for the show was better back in 2000 when 8 million people watched Nasty Nick being outed live online before it crashed. Now the website cant even host a live stream, crashes from simple video clips and the new technology aka the app is basic as a game boy and only available to a small percentage of the audience.

I think everyones aware that BB on channel 5 is like a cheap sequel now and after this year they I cant see how they could shake that title.

The perfect description tbh

[*mazedsalv**]

1.24m incl +1 according to Bothersbar (maybe slightly higher because they do it for the entire slot rather than tapechecked).

Anyway, BBspy is the one to look out for with officials as they have +1 in most whereas other sources don't (I emailed them the +1 ratings as a poster from DS who is reliable gave them to me), so I am working with BBspy quite closely regarding ratings:

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bb15/ratings/official

Current series average if 1.58m. Hope it doesn't drop under 1.55m, if it stays above that it will be rounded up to 1.6m and therefore average the same as BB12 and BB13; so would be nothing to worry about.

[Will.]

Big Brother with 1.19m (6.7%) at 10pm.
excluding +1
came 3rd/4th in its slot, it beat Channel 4 by around 500k

Anyway, BBspy is the one to look out for with officials as they have +1 in most whereas other sources don't (I emailed them the +1 ratings as a poster from DS who is reliable gave them to me), so I am working with BBspy quite closely regarding ratings:

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bb15/ratings/official

Current series average if 1.58m. Hope it doesn't drop under 1.55m, if it stays above that it will be rounded up to 1.6m and therefore average the same as BB12 and BB13; so would be nothing to worry about.

Its actually 1.28 :)

1.19 (90k +1)

Channel 4 managed 936k in the same slot but did beat Channel 5 the rest of the day by a high margin.

[Kai Anders]

Daniel you said..

How can you revamp a show that's on 3 times a year though?

It all kind of blends into one.

It doesn't need a revamp or makeover that is whats killing it. It just needs to be Big Brother and kept simply to people living in a house watched 24/7 without producers interfering.

That's exactly the revamp it needs, is what everyone means! BACK TO BASICS!

IT'S TIME FOR MY WEEKLY RATINGS INTEREST POST!!

LAST WEEKS OFFICIAL CHANNEL 5 RATINGS AS FOLLOWS: (15 SLOTS)

1 CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION 1.98m
2 BENEFITS BRITAIN: LIFE ON THE DOLE 1.81m
3 BIG BROTHER 1.66m
4 BIG BROTHER 1.57m
5 BIG BROTHER 1.49m
6 BIG BROTHER 1.45m
7 THE DOG RESCUERS 1.40m
8 BIG BROTHER 1.39m
9 AUTOPSY: MICHAEL HUTCHENCE... 1.38m
10 BIG BROTHER 1.34m
11 BIG BROTHER 1.14m
12 BIG BROTHER'S BIT ON THE SIDE 0.85m
13 ON THE YORKSHIRE BUSES 0.83m
14 POLICE INTERCEPTORS 0.80m
15 NEIGHBOURS 0.80m

Big Brother and Big Brother's Bit On The Side achieved ranks in 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 12th.

CSI hit near 2 million, however this is justified for it's high rating, as it has been, and continues to be Channel 5's most watched show.. regardless of whether Big Brother has aired before or after it, or at any time.

Benefits Britain has also been a success story with Channel 5. Understandable as it follows the same storyline in essence to that of Channel 4's Benefits Street, which easily racked up 5 million viewers each broadcast.

Therefore Big Brother retaining 3rd spot and lower, is commendable.

Autopsy and The Dog Rescuers is clearly popular. And just because the figures sometimes beat BB to a spot, is not to say BB is under performing. This of course depends on shares! Nonetheless.. despite a suggested 'unpopular' series, it's holding up well.

Channel 4 did pip Channel 5 ratings wise.. but still.. BB is often able to beat Channel 4 programming once aired.. so again, the brotherly competition and rivalry continues. Note the picture below, Channel 4 was only marginally better in shares than Channel 5 for the week.

http://i62.tinypic.com/ygd2r.jpg

The image below is also worth mentioning. Once again.. this year, and the previous week, we have seen a dramatic decrease in viewing live.. which could suggest the reasons for Friday, Saturday and Sunday overnight ratings performing underpar from what we consider good.

Once again, if you guys liked this please comment, and I'll continue to update you all on ratings after each week! If you want to find anything out rating wise, just ask, I'm sure I, or someone else could find the answer!!

You're welcome, glad it helps, as often, determining ratings can be so confusing with all the different factors.

Agree everyone watches TV so different now to even 5 years ago

[Kai Anders]

I ALSO FORGOT TO MENTION...

It's worth taking a look at the officials for each week.

WEEK 1 - 1.65M O
WEEK 2 - 1.61M -
WEEK 3 - 1.59M -
WEEK 4 - 1.56M -
WEEK 5 - 1.56M O
WEEK 6 - 1.57M +
WEEK 7 - 1.58M +
WEEK 8 - 1.58M +

The fact that this series of Big Brother, despite dramatic differences in overnight viewing, in official figures is EXTREMELY stable!

And.. unexpectedly.. Since week 5, ratings are naturally improving.. although only slightly, this is still very good and suggestive that the show is retaining some form of audience lost in Weeks 3-5.

Armageddon certainly added a small push of viewers, and hopefully.. with the advertisement of CBB, and perhaps highlight shows and the final.. Week 9 (the current week) and week 10 will see the official figures for the last 2 weeks increase to 1.60M

It appears that with official viewing figures.. the show begins well.. then has a mid series drop.. followed by a large increase and another very marginal drop at the end. As this can be seen in BB14 too.

In overnight figures, the current series is ranked at 1.22M with a 6.5% share. The previous series, BB14.. had 1.48M overnight viewers and an 8% share.

Again.. these ratings have been very stable too.. and despite a larger decrease in viewing figures since week 1, it states that many more are still willing to catch up on demand services and repeats, evident by the improving official figures.

Hopefully Viacom will see this and it will be renewed soon

[Kai Anders]

All in all. Channel 5 ratings are more consistent. The below figures are in officials.

CHANNEL 4:
BIG BROTHER 1 - 4.5M O
BIG BROTHER 2 - 4.5M O
BIG BROTHER 3 - 5.8M + 700K
BIG BROTHER 4 - 4.6M - 1.2M
BIG BROTHER 5 - 5.1M + 500K
BIG BROTHER 6 - 4.6M - 500K
BIG BROTHER 7 - 4.7M + 100K
BIG BROTHER 8 - 3.9M - 800K
BIG BROTHER 9 - 3.6M - 300K
BIG BROTHER 10 - 2.5M - 1.1M
BIG BROTHER 11 - 3.0M + 500K

AVERAGE CHANNEL BIG BROTHER DIFFERENCE - 633,000 VIEWERS

CHANNEL 5:
BIG BROTHER 12 - 1.6M O
BIG BROTHER 13 - 1.6M O
BIG BROTHER 14 - 1.9M + 300K
BIG BROTHER 15 - 1.58M (CURRENT) - 300K

AVERAGE CHANNEL BIG BROTHER DIFFERENCE - 300,000 VIEWERS


It's fair to say that Big Brother has been on Channel 5 for a shorter amount of time.. but nonetheless if you consider any four series of Big Brother from Channel 4 and their statistics, it's clear that Channel 5 is much more stable in terms of viewership.. and having hit 1.6M nearly 3 times.. it's clearly that that is the audience's main amount.. with many opting to view in and out of each day when wanted.. so I believe around 1.7-1.8M are still clearly very much interested in the show.. in terms of cancellation.. imagine Channel 5 completely removing that figure.. I'll be honest.. the only reason I watch other C5 shows is due to the fact they're on before or after or are advertised around Big Brother.. it wasn't until 2011 that where I live couldn't even receive the channel.. and now.. so many people I know still continue to watch it!

Hopefully this post will provide stability to anyones issue's with ratings.. I'm sure producers and the big bosses are happy that the viewing figures are not too dramatic. Again.. I should also point out they take into consideration all 3 series of the show over the year.. including the 2 CBBs to decide whether a renewal is given a green light or not. They certainly would NEVER consider cancelling the civilian show, opting only to show CBB.. and this has been stated by many of those in charge of programming commission over the 3 years it's been on Channel 5. Again.. hopefully this is reassuring to any cynics out there..!



Now.. seeing as I've noted about all 3 series amounting to average viewing figures.. let's take a look at the combined average for both BB and CBB together. (Note, for Channel 4 I have excluded spin off's such as Teen Big Brother and Big Brother Panto as these are not as relatable to the series on Channel 5. Therefore this would provide unfair figures.


CHANNEL 4 (average + based on the year - Jan - Dec)
BB1 = 4.5M O
BB2 + CBB1 = 4.8M + 300K
BB3 + CBB2 = 5.1M + 300K
BB4 = 4.6M - 500K
BB5 = 5.1M + 500K
CBB3 + BB6 = 4.45M - 650K
CBB4 + BB7 = 4.8M + 350K
CBB5 + BB8 = 4.25M - 550K
BB9 = 3.6M - 650K
CBB6 + BB10 = 2.9M - 700K
CBB7 + BB11 + UBB = 3.25M + 350K

CHANNEL 5 (same rules apply)
CBB8 + BB12 = 2.2M O
CBB9 + BB13 + CBB10 = 2.1M - 100K
CBB11 + BB14 + CBB12 = 2.3M + 200K
CBB13 + BB15 = 2.35M + 50K

NOW HOPEFULLY THIS MAKES SOME SENSE TO YOU LOT.. I LOOK AT IT AND IT MAKES ME WEAK! TOO MANY NUMBERS! I spent a lot of time trying to justify the show's ratings.. so hopefully this'll help those who are doubtful of the show's existence.


So.. it's clear to see that Summer CBB rectifies the lower viewing figures of regular BB.. as on Channel 5.. the previous 5 series have enabled overall viewing figures of Big Brother each year to increase. And with the coming of Summer CBB right around the corner, the present 2.35M rating can only increase! Therefore to C5 bosses and the show's producers this must account for something very good, particualrly when considered that it is only 550K away from Channel 4's lowest rated year.. 5 years ago!

Oh god the old "go back to basics" quote. What even is that exactly now? People have been crying out for it to go back to basics since the end of BB3, they did that and we got BB4.

there needs to be a change in perception of the show which would take a cooling off period and with 3 series a year its just not possible.

The show needs to go away for about 3/5 years imo only then can it come back as Big Brother gimmick free.

If only Channel 5 had waited, remember how eager we were when we learned it was coming back so soon? Doesn't seem like that long ago we were waiting for the first Channel 5 ad to air. If it had taken a 4 year hiatus That break would have been over by now and BB would be relaunching to what I would imagine a very large audience.

This graph actually confirms the show is still in great health we just watch TV differently now

[Kai Anders]

This graph actually confirms the show is still in great health we just watch TV differently now

The annual figures alone stand for a lot!

Year 1 on Channel 5 - 2.2m
Year 2 on Channel 5 - 2.1m
Year 3 on Channel 5 - 2.3m
Current year on Channel 5 - 2.35

(I imagine that's at least 2.4m to 2.45 with Summer CBB included. Bodes well for the future!)

[*mazedsalv**]

No BB ratings yet, but the Utopia rating has been released. Ch5 must be thrilled that Ch4 is doing atrociously. Surely, BB is safe with Ch5 when you see how badly 10pm does on Ch4.

Utopia for 347k incl +1 and a 2.1% share. :shocked: It's doing so badly!!

Ouch! :o incl +1?! What was it without??

[*mazedsalv**]

Without +1 Utopia was 273k. :shocked:

Anyway, last night was at 1.09m excl +1, so around 1.15-1.18m I would predict with +1, shame it has dropped again. But I do see a small lift across the week leading to the double.

People may think BB is in trouble, but when you look at how badly 10pm on Ch4 does, there really is nothing to worry about.

In fact, just like BB14 it has grown from around the same point than it did last year. Officials week by week:

Week 1- 1.65m (three +1 missing)
Week 2- 1.54m (three +1 ratings missing)
Week 3- 1.55m (one +1 rating missing)
Week 4- 1.46m (one +1 rating missing). This was the lowest week because of clashes.
Week 5- 1.57m (less World Cup matches to clash with)
Week 6- 1.62m (the week where World cup ended)
Week 7- 1.64m

Current running average (with a total of 8 +1 ratings missing) is 1.58m. It may increase a tiny bit as Week 8 officials should be in the 1.60m range too, so could climb to 1.59m. With all the +1, it is comfortably at 1.60m+ so at this point, we can safely say that it shouldn't average 1.54m or below overall. If its at 1.55m+ then it would be rounded up to 1.6m and be the same rated as BB12 and BB13. Hence no reason to panic surely?

So despite people panicking, looking at the officials, in general (even though the early weeks have some +1 missing), the show has increased.

Meh. The officals have been adding like 400k recently haven't they? Would be nice to see it higher but at least it's consistent unlike utopia. Shame for it really. I've never seen it but I imagine it deserves more than that..
What do we think the final will get?

1.5m I reckon

Yeah I think it'll be lucky to pull in 1.6 tbh.

This year they have added around 350k.

And I would say 1.6m for the final. 1.9m officially?

Lowest final ever? :(

[mrmattybeck1]

Lowest final ever? :(
Bb13 was the lowest with 1.5m

[*mazedsalv**]

Lowest final ever? :(

Officials for finales:

CBB8- 3.23m
BB12- 2.20m
CBB9- 3.36m
BB13- 1.76m
CBB10- 2.41m
CBB11- 3.61m
BB14- 2.20m and 1.96m (excl +1)
CBB12- 2.59m
CBB13- 3.71m

So officially I don't think it will be the lowest, I think BB13 final will remain the lowest with 1.76m, I predict between 1.85-1.90m officially.

In bold are the highest and lowest.

[Samm]

Final: 1.7 and the Official: 1.9

Well, it's better than channel ratings, that's for sure. :laugh:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Honestly seeing as the evictions are the lowest rated shows bar Saturdays this series I cant see the final doing 1.5 even.

Im thinking 1.4 and 1.7 officially.

Its definitely going to be the least exciting final ever personally. When you know hardly anyone is watching it kind of kills it.

The final will be dullest final ever can't see it getting much more than 1.3m

I didn't say that.

I said personally I thought it was going to be the least exciting and predicted 1.4 and 1.7 officially.

What right have you got to come back with some childish little comment because you don't agree with it.

That's personally how I feel about it and the rating is very likely, are you expecting it to get 2 million or something?

You seriously need to learn to accept other people opinions and not throw childish insults when you disagree with something.

What right have you got to come back with some childish little comment because you don't agree with it.

That's personally how I feel about it and the rating is very likely, are you expecting it to get 2 million or something?

You seriously need to learn to accept other people opinions and not throw childish insults when you disagree with something.
I'll say what ever I want thank you very much

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I'll say what ever I want thank you very much

I didn't say you couldn't just don't misquote me or throw some childish little insult at me disregarding my opinion its so rude.

I don't see how my post could have offended you to the point you had to mock it.

[Kai Anders]

Officials for finales:

CBB8- 3.23m
BB12- 2.20m
CBB9- 3.36m
BB13- 1.76m
CBB10- 2.41m
CBB11- 3.61m
BB14- 2.20m and 1.96m (excl +1)
CBB12- 2.59m
CBB13- 3.71m

So officially I don't think it will be the lowest, I think BB13 final will remain the lowest with 1.76m, I predict between 1.85-1.90m officially.

In bold are the highest and lowest.

That CBB13 literally makes me weak! Nearly 4 MILLION! B e a utiful!

[Kai Anders]

I predict 1.3m overnight, 1.5 official.

It's hard for me to see the final rate highly.. Perhaps with a bit of advertisement, but CBB adverts will roll out soon.. Slowly but still, I think the hype for BB is well and truly over and pre CBB advertisement will only excite a few thousand more IMO. I also think the official won't rate highly, just a few days on and CBB will start, and with people hating the housemates this year, I doubt even those missing would be all that bothered once results are out.. It's a shame but it's the producers fault. And sadly.. They don't seem to be phased by that.. It's pretty easy to change BB last minute to audience opinion.. But hey ho.. Let's just hope this ridiculous theme doesn't continue for CBB IMO.. No manipulation, just a mean BB!

[*mazedsalv**]

1.25m incl +1 last night. Average for the series.

It did beat Ch4 again which is having a dreadful 10pm slot, The Mimic got under 400k.

[mrmattybeck1]

Meh was hoping it could hit 1.3m a good chance tonight with this massive argument

[*mazedsalv**]

Meh was hoping it could hit 1.3m a good chance tonight with this massive argument

The share last night was the highest in a couple of weeks with over 8% so I guess that's good news meaning not many were watching TV last night at that time.

Tonight I predict 1.30m.

[Rob!]

Not bad. The fact that around 1.2 are watching every night isn't to be sniffed at.
Great british bake off launched with 7.2m! Good job BB wasn't against that. Maybe they should make the housemates make cakes in future :joker:

Big Brother's latest double eviction - in which Winston Showan and Mark Byron departed the show - was seen by an audience of 1.3m (7%) at 9pm, with 652k (5.2%) tuning in for Bit on the Side at 10.30pm.


Pretty good, glad it beat the singer takes it all, decent share and BBOTS did well, credit to digital spy.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Well should be add around 100k hopefully with +1. Winston was trending worldwide for hours hopefully people got curious and switched on at 10pm.

I cant believe The Singer Take It All climbed :/ I thought that was a sure fire bomb and would have lost half its viewership on its second episode.

[Kai Anders]

Last night was the first night in many I actually missed BB! So if 1.4 is the standing figure including +1.. imagine how much further that'll increase in official viewing figures.. perhaps a high 1.6 or 1.7 would be nice, it'd certainly pop the average of 1.58 over a little further to the 1.6m I want.. to then allow it to comply with BB12 and BB13.

Last night's show sounded amazing, sad I missed it, and extremely surprised to hear the result.. I'm going to catch up right now!

For me best eviction in quite a while certainly the best on c5 loved it:)

[Loukas]

Great stuff, well deserved as it was one of the most entertaining and shocking evictions for years! I hope it gets 1.6/1.7 in the officials!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last night achieved 1.39 including +1 (90,000)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It will be around 1.7/1.8 in officials most likely.

It's sad that the highest an eviction had got this series was the same the standard highlight shows we're getting last year but last night deserved to be the highest. It was spectacular. :love:

I know BB14's last eviction got 1.85 officialy and that's without +1 the eviction before that got 2.03m :o

Some shows this year deserved to hit 2 million especially the last 2 nights but a lot of the series has also deserved the 1.2 its been getting in overnights due to the terrible production.

[Rob!]

865k for last night (4.6%).
340k for BOTP (3.3%)

Excl +1 I think.

[Vladimir]

Ouch, it deserved more definitely.

[Rob!]

Ouch, it deserved more definitely.

It did but Saturdays are always **** ratings wise, partly because even after 15 years people still think that the entire show is just what they watched the night before.

[Kai Anders]

865k for last night (4.6%).
340k for BOTP (3.3%)

Excl +1 I think.

I literally don't get how it looses nearly half an audience overnight.. Saturday editions are entirely new shows and the eviction and its aftermath last a mere 7 or so minutes! BOTP deserves what it gets. There's no structure, people don't care for the psychologists opinions and Iain and Luissa just bomb any sense of maturity the show could hold. I'm guessing like 930K with +1 and maybe a 5-5.5% share??

[*mazedsalv**]

865k for last night (4.6%).
340k for BOTP (3.3%)

Excl +1 I think.

Around 950k incl I would predict. Standard rating for Saturday I guess.

Meanwhile, the hyped and expensive Tumble on BBC1, only started with 3.16m :joker: I really was expecting 5m+ for certain.

4th in it's slot.

It's amazing to think a show like that, on BBC One can attract the same viewing figures as last years Celebrity Big Brother live launch.. the only downside is the change of viewing percentage. 20.7% for Tumble and 14% for CBB!

So when you look at it, even the BBCs top entertainment shows of the game show variety are par with CBB.. and after 15 years.. it's surprising the negative reaction it gets for low viewing figures.. C5 really do have a mini-goldmine!

TV on the whole is getting a lot worse.. so many repeats.. not enough money.. reliance on american imports, its a surprise any of the big 5 still make money!

OK, so here are the +1 ratings for the weekend.

Friday didn't do as well as we thought, it was 1.267m with only 33k on +1 (don't trust that site that gives us UK ratings and +1 Dan, they are wrong!):

Friday- 1.30m incl +1
Saturday- 1.00m incl +1
Sunday- 1.31m incl +1 for last night

I'm not sure actually, 4th I'm guessing.

[*mazedsalv**]

Sorry, timeshifted last night got 1.33m incl +1 according to the DS report.

[Kai Anders]

BBC ONE - The Village - 4.62m (20.7%)
BBC TWO - James May's Cars Of The People - 2.43m (10.9%)
ITV - The Great War - 1.68m (7.5%) / +1 153K (1.0%)
CHANNEL 4 - Child Genius - 1.50m (6.8%) / +1 221K (1.3%)
CHANNEL 5 - Big Brother - 1.16m (5.2%) / + 1 163K (1.0%)

5th in it's slot.. still a fair rating for this series despite coming last in the Big 5.

ITV are absolutely bombing out!

Good night for the BBC!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Will be interesting to see what the officials are I think this week really will show how the series average will finally be seeing as its been consistent with 1.2 for the last 2 weeks.

[*mazedsalv**]

Monday- 1.51m excl +1
Tuesday- 1.57m incl +1
Wednesday- 1.57m excl +1
Thursday- 1.76m incl +1
Friday- 1.31m excl +1
Saturday- 1.02m excl +1
Sunday- 1.47m incl +1

Annoying that for +1 are missing for the week, but will get the figures soon as I just asked a DS member.

Such a shame, Friday-Sunday ruined the weeks momentum. Monday-Thurs (when we find out the +1 figures), will all be between 1.57m-1.76m, which is higher than the average of 1.58m we have at the moment.

So I predict with +1 for the Monday, Weds, Friday and Sat in order... 1.60m, 1.65m, 1.40m and 1.10m.

Bit better I guess though the Friday and Saturday ones :shocked:
I don't get why evictions have been rating so low this year. Especially with the Thursdays normally doing really well.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

God Fridays really aren't doing very well are they.

The final is on a Friday aswell :/ EEK! Atleast its not split into 2 parts but its going to struggle to even hit 1.7 imo.

The officials are just meh.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last night attracted 1.32 including +1

Massive +1 figure of 163k around 100k up on its usual +1 rating.

This is why BB should always be on at 9pm.

Massive +1 figure of 163k around 100k up on its usual +1 rating.

This is why BB should always be on at 9pm.I think the 1 hour gap between shows contributes to the +1 a fair bit.
I cant be arsed with the gap inbetween and i really didnt want to watch a 70 stone guy kill himself so i just watched something else at 9pm then watched on +1 so i could watch bots straight after it.
I reckon that might be the reason for any boost in +1 figures.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

But how do the shares fair that way?

The shares have come in lower (5.2% at 9pm 163k/1.0% at 10pm) due to more people watching tv at 9pm but then Channel 5 obviously want the viewers from the looks of it.

Why have they moved a Monday show to 9pm and why is the 1st week of CBB pretty much all scheduled at 9pm aswell?

[mrmattybeck1]

Ratings have been delayed no ratings online yet

[mrmattybeck1]

1.23m for bbuk last night

[mrmattybeck1]

That rating that was posted earlier was incorrect ratings have only just been released

[Redway]

No idea how accurate but someone's reported it as 1.23 million (5.7%).

[*mazedsalv**]

1.23m is quite poor IMO, Mondays at 10pm have been doing the best in general this year, so no idea why it was put on at 9pm last night. I almost missed it. The one week we don't get a TV mag and the listings change!

[mrmattybeck1]

[Redway]

I was wondering why they didn't mention +1's figure separately. Quite a crap figure then.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So I think its finally safe to say this series will be the lowest rated BB ever.

We can round up to 1.6 but in all honesty I think its going to be slightly under.

Saying that even if it is say 1.55 overall then its done a good job retaining an audience over 3 years and 4 series.

It looks worse due to the success of last year and Januarys shows but it is still steady and is extremely popular on demand. The only thing really is if Channel 5/Viacom see a 1.6 as a success.

Lets not forget we all slated BB12/BB13'S ratings as extremely poor at the time and now we have a series that we are hoping can match them when the final officials come in.

Channel 4 Utopia got 0.35 with +1 in the same slot and Channel 5 beat them overall again for the day.

Consistent rating for BB but reports are +1 added 90k so the rating should actually be 1.33 I wonder if there will be a fall tonight due to last nights episode. The twist pissed a lot of people off.

Utopia would be suited to a multi-channel like More4 or idk however many 4's there are, they have smaller audiences, plus are more likely to watch a show like this due to it's nature.. I'm literally surprised C4 haven't bothered moving it out of BB.. especially when BB ratings are considered poor, and it's still doing almost over a million better each week! :cheer2:

That 1.33m is without plus one :)

Yeah about 1.3 for sure.

Just an update on Wednesdays rating with +1 it got 1.42 the highest highlights show in ages!

With a 1.42 highlight show theres hope the final will rate about 1.7/1.8 with a 2 million official which isn't great but its better than most people have been expecting.

Hoping tonight can get 2 million overnight though.

If anything that goes against it.

A 9:05 start will dent it as people will switch on at 9pm and see its not on and flick over to another channel imo and the 11:20 finish will also give us a confusing average :/

Odd.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yeah, very old I mentioned that in CBB 14 rating thread! The good thing though is on sky the Gotham thing is a tiny little 'i' sign as the title! And all you can really see is CBB launch! So hopefully people will see CBB and wait! Very odd time though! Why not go till 11:30 and have 10 min of live feed! But it's very long! I'm guessing maybe there's more HM this series as it's a 30 day series! Longer than CBB 13! So maybe 14 HM and a long twist? Possible house tour? If it's giving a sort of big makeover, but highly unlikely though! Although possible if they put their backs into the makeover! And plus there will be people who haven't watched BB and won't have seen BB 15 house tour!

I can't believe it's almost all over. Mind you I haven't see hardly any of this week as I've been in London. Was going to try and get finale tickets but couldn't get them :(
1.3... Meh. I think it should hit about 1.7 overnight tonight.

[Rob!]

Well it's not the lowest of all time.
Without plus one, the final got 1.5m (8.3%).
Personally I think that's appalling for a final but there we are.

I made a thread about does anyone want final tickets! Was giving them away! You don't want launch tickets do you for CBB?

Aww damn I didn't see that!! I would have bit your hand off. I can't afford to get back down to London now, but thanks anyway :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.5?

Terrible for a final will be interested in the share and +1 figures.

God BB14 was getting more than that for their highlight shows.

Big Brother: Live Finale: 1.63 (70,000 +1) (9.3%)

1.53 watched live.

Atleast officially it should be around 1.9 beating BB13's 1.76 marginally but its still a far cry from last year which peaked at 2.5 million!

[Horror]

i would love love LOVE those tickets to the CBB launch if they are still going? can't get hold of any! I've sent you a private message. would be awesome to hear from you ;-)

[Cal.]

Awful.

[Cal.]

If 64.1 million are in the UK, and only 1.5 million people watch Big Brother...

[zakman440]

I'm kind of interested to see how many tuned out when Helen was announced as the winner.

Not bad at all for bots - shows that temper tantrums weren't really had after the announcement.

[Kai Anders]

Poor rating.. but totally deserved. Don't get me wrong, I want the show to do better, but equally I feel the producers of the show deserve p*** poor ratings.. I want their fate to follow suit with Brian Dowling's!

I'll be surprised if the official figure raises much further.. people we're happy that Helen won - me included. But it's sure to create either great or terrible ratings for CBB i.e. loads of BB talk over the weekend.. but will people stay after a 'bully' was crowned?

Not a great peak either.. Secrets and Lies was the best imo BB should just stop with the themes though, they add very little despite arguments and secret houses that half the HMs already caught onto in the first few weeks.

Viacom, if you're reading, sort this mess out!

[ruiphillips]

lmao what kind of piss poor ratings. BB is done.

[Kai Anders]

This year achieved an average of 1.24million overnight viewing figures and a share of 6.5%

[mrmattybeck1]

Its back next year :)

[Pronshi]

Viacom if they have figured out, Big brother was the reason channel 5 went from a net loss in 2010 to earning all throughout 2011/14.
So they will keep the show but after the performance of this one.

THEY NEED TO FIX WHATS GOING WRONG. They have had 3 seasons to test what works and need to go with the goods and cut the bads.
Clearly the show can do very well, if done right, the main show could easily manage 1.9-2.5 million if done right.
The CBB can easily manage 2.7-3.8 a night if done right last the last one.

I feel the exact same need to cut out all the bad parts

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Anyone got officials yet?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Officials are in, annoyingly only 3 contain +1!!! Can someone update if they find them.

Monday - 1.49 (excluding +1)
Tuesday - 1.42
Wednesday - 1.46 (excluding +1)
Thursday - 1.45 (excluding +1)
Friday - 1.48 (excluding +1)
Saturday - 1.26
Sunday - 1.61

Weekly average 1.40

Monday- 1.58m incl +1
Tuesday- 1.42m incl +1
Wednesday- 1.52m incl +1
Thursday- 1.54m incl +1
Friday- 1.53m incl +1
Saturday- 1.26m incl +1

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Has no one got the officials that were released today for the last week of BB15?

I really want to see how the finale performed.

[Samm]

Don't know if this is including +1

BIG BROTHER (FRI 2102) 1.73
BIG BROTHER (WED 2200) 1.63
BIG BROTHER (THU 2200 1.49
BIG BROTHER (TUE 2159) 1.48
BIG BROTHER (MON 2100) 1.36

[Kai Anders]

Overall officials stand at 1.56m viewers. Officially the least watched.

[mrmattybeck1]

Terrible hope Viacom give it a shakeup next year

[*mazedsalv**]

Those were without +1. Here are the figures...

Monday- 1.57m incl +1
Tuesday- 1.61m incl +1
Wednesday- 1.71m incl +1
Thursday- 1.57m incl +1
Friday (final)- 1.77m incl +1

1.58m official.

The final was 10k above BB13 final so it just escaped by the skin of its teeth! So BB13 still remains the lowest rated BB final with 1.76m.

[MattHooper]

Does the official average get rounded up to 1.6m, matching BB12 and BB13? Or will it stay at 1.58?

[Rob!]

1.58m official.

Could have been a lot worse. Hopefully lessons will be learnt for next year. :)

Good if it beat BB13 final!

Piss poor finale rating and deservedly the lowest rated BB to date. The highlights should be getting 1.5 overnight imo and officials should be around 1.8 per episode but a final at 1.77? That is depressing.

Please none of you glass half full people round it up to 1.6 because it didn't get that.

Its got one last shot, seriously theres only so many lives this show can have. Heres to Viacom and that BB survey holding a positive influence and bringing back live feed and normal nominations.

I think this proves less is more.

Those figures there is what an average week should be getting.

The finale was up on BB13's tho

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The finale was up on BB13's tho

By 10k! and after the huge ratings increase of BB14 and CBB13 its inexcusable.
