The BB15 Ratings Thread

[Rob!]

Sorry to whoever normally makes this but I was bored.

You know the drill peeps. What do we predict launch night is going to get? I'm gonna say higher than last year, but not by much. Maybe 2.9?

[Will.]

I recon 2.5 overnight and 2.7/8 official. Then for part 2 maybe 2.7 overnight and 2.9 official. However I'm not sure about calling it 'Power' because secrets and lies had quite bad ratings and that changed its named to 'secrets and lies' and if look at BB 13 and 12 they had better ratings, and neither ch had different names. So maybe if BB 15 was called 'Big Brother 15: Live Launch' it would have better ratings.

Well if I've gone against forum etiquette then please accept my humblest.

[Samm]

I already made a thread..

You made a launch night predication thread not a ratings thread

imo we have had promo so far and with the success of the CBB13 final and new people watching, 3 Million or 2.9 Million with a peak of 3.2 Million

BB14 had the highest ratings on C5...

[jackc1806]

It'll be crushed on Saturday against England v Honduras

[Will.]

Well if I've gone against forum etiquette then please accept my humblest.

I don't get why people get annoyed if someone makes another thread similar to another one, they act like there life is over.

So why are you prediciting..

[Will.]

BB14 had the highest ratings on C5...

I'm talking about launch, not the whole series as general, it had poor launch ratings.

[Jemal]

Well if I've gone against forum etiquette then please accept my humblest.

Its alright mateee

[jackc1806]

I'm talking about launch, not the whole series as general, it had poor launch ratings.

True, best 2nd launch night retention ever though

[jackc1806]

I would love it to get 3 million though

[Samm]

So why are you prediciting..

Because it's a ratings thread...

[Strictly Jake]

2.6

[Cal.]

Mid 2 million mark, possibly getting closer to the 3 million mark but I doubt it. However, I'm willing to accept a lower mark to 2 million, but I doubt that because of the amount of advertising.

[Samm]

I think people are going too low, BB14 was the highest rated BB on C5 and CBB13 final got amazing ratings and with all this promo so far it could get 3 million

[Jemal]

Because it's a ratings thread...

Not a predicting thread lol.

This means its the ratings the show gets that goes in here.
Don't mean to get technical but psh.

[Will.]

True, best 2nd launch night retention ever though

Oh yeah, it has great 2nd episode ratings!

[Rob!]

Have we had better promo than last year?

[Jemal]

Way better

[Drew.]

3.1

[Jake.]

2.5 if we're lucky for the first part with 2.3-2.4 for the second

[zakman440]

2.4 with a peak of 2.6 for the first half, as I think that more people will be inclined to watch the Comedy Gala. 2.8 for the second half though, peaking at 3 hopefully.

[Gypsy]

2.5

[jackc1806]

2.4 with a peak of 2.6 for the first half, as I think that more people will be inclined to watch the Comedy Gala. 2.8 for the second half though, peaking at 3 hopefully.

BB will beat Comedy Gala, sure that got under 2m last year

[mrmattybeck1]

Have we had better promo than last year?god yes we hardly had any last year this years much better hopefully rylan and emma will be on this morning next week as well

[Samm]

god yes we hardly had any last year this years much better hopefully rylan and emma will be on this morning next week as well

What Day

[mrmattybeck1]

What Daynot sure guaranteed to be on through as they both do the hub as well

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Sorry to whoever normally makes this but I was bored.

You know the drill peeps. What do we predict launch night is going to get? I'm gonna say higher than last year, but not by much. Maybe 2.9?

Not by by much? Your prediction is 700,000 higher than last years lol.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

You made a launch night predication thread not a ratings thread

imo we have had promo so far and with the success of the CBB13 final and new people watching, 3 Million or 2.9 Million with a peak of 3.2 Million

I couldn't believe it when BB14 launched with 2.35 million and then 2.40 million whilst BB12/13 both launched to 2.93 million.

With all the promo of Emma taking over and a new theme ect I was expecting 3 million.

Im predicting 2.2 million launch 1.8 average but we could be surprised and ratings could climb like BB14 did and we could finally get a 2 million+ average.

[Samm]

Im predicting 2.2 million.

Btw before anyone says *Yes but BB14 was more successful with the average ratings. Yes I know but these are launch figures.

It launched low last year because there was hardly no promo

2.2 Million is way to low

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It launched low last year because there was hardly no promo

2.2 Million is way to low

Last year had a lot of buzz around it and it was highly publisized that Emma was taking over she was on BBC Radio 1 talking about it and in various other interviews including This Morning/Loose Women.

I think last year the launch actually got 2.2 overnight?

It had a lot more promo than people think.

[JohnnyBB]

1.8 million its up against comedy gala.

[Samm]

Last year had a lot of buzz around it and it was highly publisized that Emma was taking over she was on BBC Radio talking about it and in various other interviews.

It had a lot more promo than people think.

The reason BB13 got higher imo was it was advertised on different channels and I feel that since they have done this, this year it will be much higher people are just going low because of BB14 launch ratings, I feel it could peak with 3 Million this year

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.8 million its up against comedy gala.

Why do you think comedy gala is such competition?

Anyway this thread into a launch night prediction thread now I suggest we get Salv on the case hes the master of the ratings thread lol. Its like tradition that he does it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The reason BB13 got higher imo was it was advertised on different channels and I feel that since they have done this, this year it will be much higher people are just going low because of BB14 launch ratings, I feel it could peak with 3 Million this year

So you think its going to launch higher than BB12/BB13 which both had 2.7 million overnight?

I really cant see it but I hope you're right :)

[Samm]

1.8 million its up against comedy gala.

Comedy Gala doesn't get good ratings :umm2:, why are you always so negative

[JohnnyBB]

Comedy Gala doesn't get good ratings :umm2:, why are you always so negative

2.1 million then geezus. :hugesmile:

[Samm]

I found the ratings from Comdy Gala last year, there's no competition
CHANNEL 4'S COMEDY GALA (FRI 2101) 1.81

[*mazedsalv**]

You cheeky bugger. You stole my thunder... ;)

Anyways, I predict 2.5m.

[Samm]

imo it won't be as low as Last years Launch

[Rob!]

You cheeky bugger. You stole my thunder... ;)

Anyways, I predict 2.5m.

Apologies Salv - like I said, I was bored :joker:

Didn't realise it would ruffle quite so many feathers. :unsure:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I found the ratings from Comdy Gala last year, there's no competition

Is that an overnight if it is its only 400,000 behind BB Launch :/

[Gstar]

I think that Emma's job on the voice has increased her popularity which can hopefully impact the ratings

[Pronshi]

You cheeky bugger. You stole my thunder... ;)

Anyways, I predict 2.5m.

I was confused myself I always remembered salv makes these threads.

[Jack.]

I predict 2.3m.

[neneu10]

3.0 on Thursday...

And 2.2 on series average...

[*mazedsalv**]

3.0 on Thursday...

And 2.2 on series average...

2.2m average seems quite high to me, but would be great. Do you think Friday will hold onto Thursday? Last year the 2nd launch rated higher than the first.

[jackc1806]

Is it warm tomorrow? People might stay out... Always get nervous morning after launch for ratings. 2 million + is acceptable tbh, the launches don't tend to interest casuals only the hardcore fans... IMO anything below 1.9 million is a disaster

[Sawyer]

What did the launch last year get? Overnights and officials?

[Gstar]

I think that social media will help a lot, it always seems to explode when a BB/CBB launch starts

[ruiphillips]

1.90 - 2.00 million for launch night

[neneu10]

2.2m average seems quite high to me, but would be great. Do you think Friday will hold onto Thursday? Last year the 2nd launch rated higher than the first.


I think that will be different from last year...
3.0 on thursday and 2.7 on friday...

[jackc1806]

What did the launch last year get? Overnights and officials?

The first episode of the latest series had 2.1 million viewers (9.95% of the total audience share for 9pm) -overnight

2.35 official

Note the second launch had a lower overnight by 20,000 but actually got a 2.4 official

[daniel-lewis-1985]

This year ratings are more important seeing as Viacom have taken over we all need the show to do well so they renew it.

I love BB Launch but I always dread checking the ratings thread the next day.

Im starting to think a 1.9/2.1 launch they haven't done any interviews with radio1/loose women/this morning or anything really at all this week.

Really makes me appreciate how good promo was for BB12.

[Samm]

People are going wayyy to low

[jackc1806]

The CBB effect could help, peak of 3.7m viewers watched CBB final... 2m + should be guaranteed

[*mazedsalv**]

The CBB effect could help, peak of 3.7m viewers watched CBB final... 2m + should be guaranteed

It averaged 3.71m officially, so it probably got 4m peak!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

People are going wayyy to low

I wouldn't say that. A ratings of 1.9 is only 200,000 down from last years first launch.

200,000 is not a big margin especially when BB14 launch was down by about 500,000 from BB13.

Thank **** people saw sense and carried on watching or it could have been doomed.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It averaged 3.71m officially, so it probably got 4m peak!

For CBB in January to be beating CBB6 which was 5 years (half a decade) ago was highly impressive and shows people still love watching BB its average was literally 100.000 behind it and and that's only because of the launch figure Channel 4 got.

I don't think we can judge launch night for the normal series against the CBB in January though as sad as it is more and more people are saying "I don't watch the normal one but I love the celeb version".

BUT I have read a lot of stupid Twitter users and mail online readers comments like "Cant wait for BB I wonder which celebs are going in?!?!"

ALOT lol so they may contribute accidentally.

I think this years BB will carry on the success:

We have had a full interview on the paul o'grady show they talked about big brother for about 10 min, we've had a front page cover on the one off the TV magazines last Saturday, and about every magazine had information on BB last weekend, today Rylan talked about big brother on this morning for a bit, BB advets on other channels the normal online promo with the mail online etc

Other thing that's new this year that a lot of people haven't noticed is that they upload the main advert on the main BB channel and it has around 70,000 views and it's going up. Like Germyle said Emma profile has grown a lot

and we have got a lot of new viewers since BB14 & CBB13 more people have been watching.

[Gypsy]

my guess is 2.4

Really I didn't know Rylan mentioned it . Do people still read magazines though? lol don't get me wrong I love seeing BB on the front pages and when BB14 made front page of the sun last year I was orgasming.

Saying all this if I wasn't a forum member the promo has been so little that I don't think I would even know it was starting.

I have seen 1 bb advert this year and 1 eye flash.

I think social media is a ratings saviour for BB these days as it starts trending early in the day then gets people talking and when their timelines are full of BB tweets then its pretty obvious BB is back.

But yeah you're right about the growing success but last year didn't really have any competition either. God damn world cup why don't they just cancel it lol.

[Samm]

Social media does help a lot I agree, I think it will still beat C4 tommorow tbh, and I think C5 know that BB isn't going to beat the World Cup anyday so it doesn't matter

I still think Viacom will keep BB there's no other C5 show that gets talked about then Big brother

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Hope it buckets down from mid afternoon till about 7pm so people stay in then tune into BB and its glorious sunshine in Elstree.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its always interesting to see when BB starts trending I think it was quite late last year.

Everyone start spamming Twitter with #BBUK

[uniquedude]

Promotion means nothing considering CBB13 got bascially 0 promotion and yet launch was strong and overall series was highest on C5.

2.0 million for the first
2.0 million for the second

If something happens like Casey/Lee/Jasmine love triangle or Hazel and Daley safehouse gate then the viewing figures will increase if not overall it will be around 1.5 million overall

[Samm]

I have a good felling, when did BB start trending

[Jack.]

I'm thinking 2.5 inc +1

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I my dying to know what the ratings were like last night

[Jemal]

What did bb14 get?

[Samm]

What did bb14 get?

2.3

[Jemal]

Hopefully it does better.
I mean it should do. Right?

Wasn't it toptrend in UK

[Rob!]

I'm scared to know the ratings :worry:

[Jake.]

Not sure of true but 1.6 is being reported

[Rob!]

Not sure of true but 1.6 is being reported

D:

[Jake.]

If so then that's disgusting

[Rob!]

That's literally horrific. Where have you seen that?

[Jake.]

DS, not official though

[Jemal]

Cant be lol

[Jake.]

Okay DW it was posted at 6:30 this morning!

[Jake.]

Panicked then!

[Rob!]

If the truth is worse :joker:

[Jemal]

Anything under 2M is a epic fail lol

[Jake.]

God :laugh:

[Jake.]

2.1, same as last year

[jackc1806]

Not surprised

[iRyan]

Still good news I guess. As long as it doesn't decrease.

[Jake.]

Beat C4

C4 #ComedyGala 2014 tickled the funnybone of 1.8m/10.8% (Total), and peaked at 2.4m (12.5%)

[*mazedsalv**]

Same as last year, but I'm disappointed. I don't think it will hold like last years 2nd launch.

[King Gizzard]

7.3m

[*mazedsalv**]

Same as last year, but quite disappointed. I don't think it will hold onto 2nd launch like last year.

[King Gizzard]

still think 1m+ is always really good for this show when you compare it to other daily television shows

[jackc1806]

Wanna see the peak

[jackc1806]

Same figure but definite increase of share, over 10% this time last time was 9%

"@overnightstv: #FromThereToHere drew 3.2m/15.2% to BBC1 at 9pm, ahead of ITV's #LifeofRyan 1.7m/8.3% at 9pm and 125.3k/0.8% on +1 http://t.co/Gu75jKfL7Z"

Beat ITV and C4

Poor night all round

[Jake.]

Was literally about to post that lol

[Jake.]

Good that it came third at least

[Jake.]

And share of 10.8%, higher than last years

[jackc1806]

Did BBC2 beat it :umm2:

[Jake.]

Not sure yet

[Kai Anders]

According to Tellymix, the first launch last night averaged 2.1 million viewers. This is identical to last years Secrets and Lies launch. It also because the second most watched channel in the 9pm slot, only being beaten by BBC One!

Good to know the ratings are still holding up fair..

In case you wondered, the Ryan Giggs documentary gained 1.7 million viewers on ITV and the comedy gala on C4 had 1.8 million viewers. Here's hoping tonight competition doesn't slow ratings down!?

Who's your fave too? :blush:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I knew they wouldn't be big and I cant see those ratings going up like last years for the second launch.

[Jordan.]

Terrible tbh

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Really disappointed but I knew it would be around that mark.

I cannot see it holding onto the viewers tonight either like last years did seeing as last nights housemates were all so samey.

Its 2.03 without plus 1 remember last years was 1.99 without plus 1 so a slight increase lol.

Do we know what the peak was?

[Cal.]

Hmm.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Theres a ratings thread btw. This should be merged.

[arista]

Terrible tbh


Not for Ch5

[BringItOn]

Ratings are different nowadays compared to 10 years ago. 2 million is good.

[Jamesy]

That's pretty good really. If it's the same as last year that's not bad at all, at least things are consistent!

I'm worried with the housemates being similar last night we'll see a sharp drop in figures tonight.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ratings are different nowadays compared to 10 years ago. 2 million is good.

Yes but 2 years ago it was launching with 2.7 and with the success of Januarys series everyone was expecting around 2.5.

I actually called 2 million after watching last nights show I don't think it grabbed people.

[Rob!]

Could have been worse. Can't see the amazing retention rate happening again but pleased it hasn't gone down from last year.

[Jake.]

2.7 after a finale of 3 million the night before.. it's matched last year/got a higher share which is at least double what 5 have been getting in the past four months, I'm happy

[Rob!]

And to be only beaten by BBC1 is pretty good.

[Jake.]

And to be only beaten by BBC1 is pretty good.

Exactly, the fact everything was low last night must say something

[daniel-lewis-1985]

2.7 after a finale of 3 million the night before.. it's matched last year/got a higher share which is at least double what 5 have been getting in the past four months, I'm happy

Im talking about BB13 which had no CBB on before it.

[Jake.]

Sorry, thought you was referring to BB12

[Rob!]

How did BOTS and the live feed do?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

How did BOTS and the live feed do?

707K (5.7%) excluding +1 for BOTS.

Don't know about live feed.

[Jordan.]

Not for Ch5

BB13's launch was half a million up on this

[Rob!]

So, sorry - is that launch figure with or without plus 1?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So, sorry - is that launch figure with or without plus 1?

With.

Without it was 2.03.

[JohnnyBB]

707K (5.7%) excluding +1 for BOTS.

Don't know about live feed.

Is bots down on last year?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Is bots down on last year?

Yes by about 70k I think.

[JohnnyBB]

Yes by about 70k I think.

It wasent as strong as last years opening bots i dont think, i fear for the raitings of the main show dont think the housemates are strong enough.

[massivebbukfan]

Well I think it's a good figure for the launch :)

[Loukas]

Big Brother: Power Trip Live Launch (C5) 9pm-10.35pm
2.1m (10.8%)
Peaked at 2.4m (11.6%) in the five minutes from 9.35pm.

[armand.kay]

Hopefully tonight it does as well. I doubt it tho.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Everything is against tonight doing well.

Last night proved unpopular with a lot of viewers and the fact its a Friday and gorgeous weather out im expecting a lot of people to be out tonight.

Hopefully it matches last nights but as we know the second episode tends to drop off, last year being the only exception.

[Rob!]

[daniel-lewis-1985]

All over social media even on here the general comments were about how much alike the housemates were and Twitter especially had thousands of tweets saying how it was "boring".

Before you go rambling on at me saying we cant trust social media for ratings im just saying a lot of people found it pretty dull.

Me personally aswell felt last night was a pretty meh launch.

[Samm]

Last years BB was the highest rated Civilian series on C5, so I wouldn't say it's going to flop, I feel like the Seconded launch will hold last year's did

Why are people saying that all the Housemates where dull, there is 6 more going in tomorrow lmao, I though the launch was good

[Rob!]

I wasn't going to ramble on at you :laugh2:

What I will say though is, it depends on tonight. Personally, I think there's some really interesting characters in there this year - I certainly didn't think it was boring... We'll see. Hope it does well - with the amount of money and effort that's clearly gone into this series, it certainly deserves to.

[Samm]

It did better than last year anyway, Last year's got 1.99 Million

[RichardG]

:( not great. I was hoping for a boost up on last years considering (I don't think) a new contract has been signed yet...

[ruiphillips]

Wow, quite shocked in launch with over 2m.

[Samm]

:( not great. I was hoping for a boost up on last years considering (I don't think) a new contract has been signed yet...

Viacom have taken over and they own a Channel in India with Big brother, 2.1 is good for a C5 program anyway

[Samm]

I'm happy it beat C4 tbh

[jackc1806]

Not long to go...
Personally expecting 8 out of 10 cats to beat BB, but obviously hope not.
I think we'd have to be pleased with 1.5m+

[jackc1806]

Some ratings released everything low so far

BBC News (18:30) - 4.19m (29.5%)
Regional News (19:00) - 3.83m (23.7%)
The One Show: 2.68m (15.1%)
EastEnders: 5.48m (29.5%)
Inspector George Gently: 2.59m (13.2%)
The Graham Norton Show: 3.11m (23.0%)

[jackc1806]

9.00 Big Brother 1.64m (8.6%)

[jackc1806]

Beat ITV 9.00 Soccer Aid 1.57m (8.0%)

[Samm]

9.00 Big Brother 1.64m (8.6%)

Where did you get this form, and is it including +1

[jackc1806]

Where did you get this form, and is it including +1

DS and I don't know at the moment, trying to find out

[jackc1806]

Bollocks. 8 out of 10 Cats Countdown got 1.97 million

[Jemal]

sigh

[Jamesy]

I guessed there would be a sharp drop over to the second show. The 'samey' housemates probably put a lot of people off on Thursday.

[Cal.]

Wow, big drop. Nevermind, it was up against some big things last night.

[Jake.]

:(

[Samm]

I'm hoping the ratings go back up this week, it's up against BGT final tonight tbh

[RichardG]

D: D: D:

[Jack.]

I knew it was going to drop but I didn't expect it to drop that much.

[Jamesy]

I'm hoping the ratings go back up this week, it's up against BGT final tonight tbh

Luckily C5 have been clever and Big Brother airs after BGT final. So hopefully there will be some decent(ish) figures tonight, will most likely be low figures I guess. Hopefully it picks up over the week though.

[jackc1806]

I'm hoping the ratings go back up this week, it's up against BGT final tonight tbh

Up against England football actually, still gonna be thrashed.

500k tonight

[Samm]

oh I didn't know that I though it was going to clash with it, I'm hoping it does go back up tbh I think it will there's a good chance

[Samm]

BB14 had not the best start, I still believe as the week goes on the ratings will go up

[Drew.]

Up against England football actually, still gonna be thrashed.

500k tonight

.

[Jack.]

Up against England football actually, still gonna be thrashed.

500k tonight

I don't think it will go that low. I'm going for 900k for tonight's show.

[jackc1806]

I just get the feeling no one really cares anymore

[jackc1806]

Hope I'm wrong though, drama could cause a rise in ratings

[Samm]

It was a poor night for all the TV last night tbh

[mrmattybeck1]

I just get the feeling no one really cares anymore they dont more care for the cbb version now

[Billy]

considering the weather and the competition, i think 1.64m is pretty decent!

[JohnnyBB]

The choice in housemates has been a disaster for the show.

no this years cast has been way better than last year, it's not been a disaster since it's only Day 3

[Josy]

Same, plus it was Friday night a lot would have been out.

[Samm]

It won't go back up today since the Football, but I'm thinking it could rise on Sunday. It's just annoying that Yesterday and Today Big Brother has big competition

Is the +1 out yet

Oh my actual god. :facepalm: :facepalm: facepalm: :facepalm:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yes ratings may rise slightly but usually they don't. People who didn't tune in for launch most likely wont watch at all now as they don't know who any of the housemates are already.

Terrible ratings and its going to get worse with the world cup starting next week. I think tonight is gonna drop below 1 million.

[Cal.]

:(

[Samm]

Channel 5 made a terrible mistake at making it a two part launch

[JohnnyBB]

Channel 5 made a terrible mistake at making it a two part launch

Go and hashtag BBUK and just read the comments, what everyones saying about the housemates.

[Rob!]

Expect it horrific tonight - but then hopefully it'll be able to bounce up as the week goes on. I hope.

[Samm]

This, imo people who didn't watch Part 2 might see that there is more people that went (the 6 HM) and tune in and watch it on Sunday

[Rob!]

Are channel 5 counting their on demand viewers yet?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

FGS it did ****e that's the facts its so annoying seeing fans rallying around making up excuses and possibilities.

The fact is it bombed and that's because firstly the producers failed to put on a good first night and sent the housemates into the house in totally the wrong order.

Then they have crammed to much in to such a small space of time (someone got power, someone got punished, someone was given 5 grand, 6 new housemates enter, someones given a ticket to the final, someone will be nominated every week)

All this happened by day 2.

Its just Secrets and Lies but on speed.

Viewers are bored of it and im finding it a chore after only 2 days. Im worn out from watching the launches already lol.

[JohnnyBB]

BOTS ratings for last night 596k

What is normal for bots?

[Jarrod]

What is normal for bots?

Anything between 500k to 700k.

[Josy]

Anything between 500k to 700k.

So last night was normal then for bots?

[Jarrod]

So last night was normal then for bots?

Yeah, basically!

[Josy]

Ah right ok.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yeah, basically!

BOTS actually does really well it normally gets well over 500K that's not a correct average.

I would say it usually gets 700K to 900K.

Saturdays are usually between 400/500K.

[Rob!]

So was it against a footie match last night?

[DigitalSid]

Decent for the first show, slightly up on last year, disappointing for the second, down probably to the bland selection of first night housemates and the good weather that seems to have effected everything. Hopefully after tonight's, which airing after BGT and against football will probably tank, it'll start to stabalise and recover.

Channel 5 made a terrible mistake at making it a two part launch

The retention would have been much worse if last night had been your bog standard first night highlights.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Disappointing ratings for the 2nd launch show

[ruiphillips]

lmao those flop housemates making the ratings half in just 24hrs

[daniel-lewis-1985]

lmao those flop housemates making the ratings half in just 24hrs

Its hardly a lmao situation.

[Samm]

lmao those flop housemates making the ratings half in just 24hrs

I don't understand why you hate this cast so much

This Cast >>>>>>>>>>>> The BB11, 12 & 14 Cast all together

You do know you just don't have to love the BB14 cast just because Gina was in it

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last nights live feed got 405k.

Not to shabby :)

[Samm]

oh that's nearly as high as BOTS, I hope C5 look at how successful the is Live feed and make a 24/7 they can at least try it

[*mazedsalv**]

'Flop contestants', how can people say that? Its been a day!
And anyway, already, we have...

- Helen having a tantrum about her photo and getting a warning according to Tellymix
- Pauline and her dislike for Chris, will she poison everyones minds?
- Jale already getting annoyed with fakeness

And it's the 2nd proper day! I really think this series will be one to look out for. I reckon it could be a grower.

It needs word of mouth. It's been negative so far. But anyway...

Tonight will be very low. A Saturday, up against the England match. I predict under 1m. Tomorrow may save it, it will probably be in the 1.3-1.4m range (which is what most BB14 HLs got), especially at the start considering BB14 was the first 'grower' of a series for years and so was CBB13.

So basically will BB15 follow in BB14 and CBB13 footsteps, starting relatively low and growing?

Impressive for Live Feed though IMO.

How can you say that 2 days in?

You cant judge a whole cast based on 2 days and say they are better than 3 years of housemates put together lol.

Way to much generalising, I personally thought the cast was pretty bland on night 1 as did thousands of others its not just like one person is saying it but the next lot in were far more charismatic and interesting.

Looking back its not that the cast is bad its the fact that a lot are alike and the producers put them in in the wrong order.

If they had mixed them all up and not put the similar ones in on night one launch 2 would have retained its ratings or climbed.

They need to scrap these 2 part launch nights altogether though that's a better idea.

[Samm]

Tonight, 1.0 - 1.10

I don't think it will drop below Million, it's not a world cup match so.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Tonight 998,000 would love it to be around 1.5+

[JohnnyBB]

Great news tonight with the football being suspended raitings should have picked up!

[Jake.]

Great news tonight with the football being suspended raitings should have picked up!

That is good news

[Samm]

But it might not to that well Just because people still might want to watch the Football talk

[Jake.]

Waiting on the rating, I'm guessing 1.2.. a user on DS says that it was beaten by Flog It which had 1.33

[Cal.]

Not here for bad ratings :bored:

[Gstar]

:mooriah:

[ruiphillips]

I'm thinking 1.10 m

[Will.]

I reckon 1.6

[Jemal]

1.6m

[JohnnyBB]

:omg:

[Cal.]

Hmm, I'm hoping for higher obviously but doubt it.

[Will.]

Last years got 1.36 overnight

[mrmattybeck1]

Anyone know what it got yet

[RichardG]

[jackc1806]

952k incl +1

[Cal.]

952k incl +1

No. :o

[jackc1806]

Under 1 million as I predicted, poor but expected due to the football. 1.2 tonight my guess

[Cal.]

That's a shame!

Btw Matthew looks like Jack Whitehall in your avatar.

[Fingerprints101]

Oh... :worry:

[JohnnyBB]

Geezus christ :joker::bawling:

[Josy]

952k incl +1

Oh dear

[JohnnyBB]

It gets worser for bots 392k

[Cal.]

It is worrying, I bet we can expect this throughout this series as well because of world cup.

[Jake.]

My Sisters Keeper had 595k/2.9% at the same time on 4

[Jake.]

Elsewhere, BBC Two aired repeats of Yes, Prime Minister (740k/3.5%), I Love 1980 (1.08m/4.9%), French and Saunders (1.01m/5%) and Victoria Wood as Seen on TV (921k/5.3%).

So pretty low for everything else concerned

[Cal.]

My Sisters Keeper had 595k/2.9% at the same time on 4

Never actually seen that film.

The football was cancelled last night though wasn't it?? :umm2:

[Cal.]

A lot of people would have still watched for the chat. And you'd get the houses who usually watch BB but were dictated to by football fans in the house on what they were watching that night.

[Rob!]

Christ..

God I hope it does well tonight. Beat channel 4 though. So was everything affected?

[Locke.]

It wasn't cancelled, there was just a 30 minute break mid-way through the first half because of a lightning storm.

But yes, this is what happens when you take on football. It's on at the same time as Soccer Aid tonight as well

[Cal.]

The ratings wont be good tonight then,

[Will.]

Its amazing how like 13 Million watch BGT and then under a million watch BB. Like BGT is hardly better at all, its worse in my opinion. BB is more interesting and I think a better concept of a show. What a shame :/ tonight's should be better as BGT has finished. Because the final lasted for 2:30 hours, so maybe people got sick of watching TV last night.

[jackc1806]

Historically Saturdays do badly for BB, some Saturdays were under 3million in BB7 which averaged 4.7m

BB is watched by a mainly young audience compared to BGT which appeals to everyone, much in the same way opportunity knocks did. Variety shows entice everyone.

[Samm]

It was against the football i'm not surprised, every other Channel had bad ratings so i'm not surprised the officials will be way higher for yesterdays show. It's against Soccer aid tonight so :laugh:

[Samm]

Poor housemates, poor ratings

http://uploadir.com/u/angfu1qt

Well no because this years House mates have been great

and it only got bad ratings because of the Football clash

[Iceman]

Shockingly bad...reckon it will be the norm that it doesnt get past 1mil this year

BB is a niche, only a few million would want to watch highlights of strangers everyday of the week. Where as BGT is an talent competition. People who tune into to BGT know their in for some good viewing, were as with BB you would have to wait a couple of days for something good to happen.

BGT appeals to a wider range of people. On Channel 4 BB appealed to most people I think, but suddenly now it's moved people have a perception of the show. My mum won't watch it now it's on Channel 5, I persuaded her to watch both launches and she said it was hardly Big Brother.

[Samm]

It was against football

[Cal.]

It was against football

You should put that in your sig because people aren't getting the message at all. :(

[Iceman]

It was against football
Very good. Is there a point?

[Cal.]

Very good. Is there a point?

Yes, a lot of households would have watched the footy rather than BB because of the fans in the house. If you have a husband and wife and the husband always lets the wife watch BB but one night the football is on, generally the husband gets to watch the football because the wife always watches BB. Just an example.

[Samm]

Very good. Is there a point?

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

[Locke.]

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