*** The Big Brother 16 ratings thread***

[AProducer'sWetDream]

hoping these next few days gets a bump in official ratings, with storeroom gate yesterday and Brian trying to run up the walls to escape in tonights, i'd like to think that'll create a small buzz!

'Brian Belo' has been trending on Facebook as quite a few newspapers have been reporting it, so I think the officials should definitely raise the ratings by a few hundred thousand. Unfortunately I'm not sure whether him leaving will actually cause the ratings to suffer in the long term.

[Will.]

with Brian trending first on Twitter and all of it I think it will at least get 1.2 for tonights

[Jake.]

1.25 (7.9%)

[Rob!]

Wow :joker:

[Rob!]

That's excl +1! Will be 1.3 without it. Wow.

[Jake.]

1.35 inc +1, highest since the launch

[Will.]

lmao producers must be laughing, everyone slagging the show off but the rating are improving.


People who say they won't watch because of Helen are clearly lying lmao

[Will.]

legends clearly aren't going anywhere

[Jamesy]

I thought people saying wow were taking the piss although I keep forgetting just how low this series ratings have been :laugh:

They will definitely keep in the legends for another week then!

[Jason.]

Christ almighty.

[RichardG]

What has become of the show when we're all excited by 1.35 :laugh:

They'd better not keep Helen another week, that would just lower the tone of the show even further but if they absolutely insist they'd better not keep Marc immune again. :nono:

[Jason.]

What has become of the show when we're all excited by 1.35 :laugh:

I know right.
That rating for BB14/BB15, and we'd all be saying "R.I.P BB."

Watch in 2017, when we're all excited by 800k, compared to the 600k episode the night before.

:joker:

[aman201]

I thought people were being sarcastic there.

That's a good rating?!

[Will.]

I thought people were being sarcastic there.

That's a good rating?!

yes for a highlight show anything above 1.3 is good.

[thediaryroomchair]

celebrity Big Brother is fine, it is just the normal BB that is in jeopardy.

[Will.]

tonights will probably have a huge +1 being on at 9pm

[Kai Anders]

So as an official were probably likely to see 1.5 or even 1.6 which is nice, I'm hoping Ashylene will also give ratings an increase or keep them on par however it seems bizarre she's entering without a live show, perhaps she's literally there until Friday like the other two legends?

[Jamesy]

With the ratings boost I could see the producers trying to stretch Helen/Nikki to stay in longer.

[Will.]

yeah everyones complaining about it saying there not going to watch but its getting good ratings.

[Will.]

should do well tonight

[Will.]

comprising of BB16 week 2 to this week (huge improvement), didnt realise it was so bad!

Week 2 of BB16:

Sunday - 900k
Monday - 800k
Tuesday - 999k
Wednesday - 970k
Thursday - 1.09 M
Friday - start of 4 in 4 out

Week 7 (this week)

Sunday - 1.2M
Monday - 1.15M
Tuesday - 1.2M
Wednesday - 1.35M

This week is currently averaging 1.23M

This week should average 1.55 in officials as thats what BB15 averaged with a 1.2 overnight average week

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What they really need to do is remove Helen they would kind of redeem themselves for the win and the free pass.

Make a task to cause drama so when she goes to far they can remove her that will bring in the ratings then for a twist give the housemates the choice of if they want to keep Nikki as a main housemate and be eligible to win the show.

Cant believe I voted for Helen to win last year she needs putting in her place.

C'mon BB grow some balls and throw her out on her arse.

Nikki has been legendary again without even really doing anything lol shes just great to watch.

[minny03]

lmao producers must be laughing, everyone slagging the show off but the rating are improving.


People who say they won't watch because of Helen are clearly lying lmao

lol, I think this is the third time I've agreed with you today. But yeah, the ratings keep going up because of the nonstop drama and the controversy that the legends are bringing. And yet, people on the forums keep complaining about them and want them to leave. Its quite hilarious really. The legends have been the only good thing about this series.

[Will.]

I think there amazing in there, it's so entertaining!

BB16 is basically now The Nikki, Aisleyne, and Helen show featuring Marc.

[Angelika]

lmao producers must be laughing, everyone slagging the show off but the rating are improving.


People who say they won't watch because of Helen are clearly lying lmao

Not every member of the viewing public posts on here. Tonight was my last night - I'll pop on & off to read comments in TIBB, that's about it. I stopped watching BBOTS last series - can't stand Rylan & Emma or the rowdy rent-a-crowd.

[Jason.]

The ratings have improved.
But the series is still diabolical.

[Jake.]

Big Brother: 1.12m (5.9%)

[Jake.]

1.38m including +1

[jackc1806]

1.38m with +1

[Will.]

I think there keep the legends with ratings now getting higher than what this series is curently avergaing in officals lmao

should easily be 1.6/7-8 in offical

[Rob!]

It's a shame what has to happened for the ratings to climb.

[aman201]

So, essentially they said a big f u to the original housemates...brought in some legends and it improved.

It's just an ultimate big brother then.

[billy123]

C4 housemates improving things.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.38m including +1

That's a big plus 1 .

Well done Aisleyne lol.

That ws a classic BB episode and even though the first 2 weeks were terrible they really have redeemed themselves it hould be getting 1.8 for highlights in my opinion its had soooooo much drama.

Brian Belo scaling the house and leaving via the roof only brought in 1.35? Whats happened? When Daley went all bunny boiler on Hazel ratings hit over 2 million in officials.

If Nikki cnt pul in the viewers then noon will.

Civillian BB is dead.

Next year expect our fav show to be on MTV..........Just being realistic.

[billy123]

They have really painted themselves into a corner with this series. They pretty much shat on the whole premise of BB to gain about 0.2 - 0.3 on the ratings what will they do next year?? There is nowhere to go now.

[bots]

thats my thinking too, the stunts they are pulling will only work once. I'm only watching now out of morbid curiosity, how many others are the same. This could easily be the last viable civilian BB

there probs do an all star series next year. I don think CH5 will take it off, 1-1.4 M is good for them, they can barely scrap 1M, so getting 1M overnight is decent for them.

[Rob!]

Well you say that, but the other night they had a show on called "psycho pussys" which got 1.69m. :umm2:

[Will.]

pussssssssyyyyyyyyyyy

[Kai Anders]

Is this all the proof we need that they'll likely scrap BB next year for an all-star BB series, seems logical considering these 'legends' have upped ratings a mere 200-300K.

Like where else can the show go, we've had every feasible twist and eviction and shock arrival etc. I honestly struggle to see how they can keep the momentum over the next 3 years without a mass change up in advertisement to pull in punters across the board.

And let's face it, compared with other years which have had Wimbledon and the Olympics, it's doing pretty poorly to say there isn't actually that much strong competition imo. I also hope they return the show to a June start. 12 days of advertisement just isn't enough for a £40,000,000 show! C5 have a habit of changing things that don't need to be fixed. It's their fault things are in the state they are.

Also, 6 more editions of CBB, how can there honestly be another 70-80 celebrities to do the show that haven't already been on it and how can the ratings continue to improve (for winter CBB at least)!?

[RichardG]

nothing consistent though

I'll bet psycho pussies didn't even cost a fraction of the amount to produce as Big Brother does though, 1.2m consistently is suddenly a lot less appealing when you see the amount they must be spending to air it all summer. :laugh:

I don't think they'll axe it next year, they'll probably try an all star season or a regular civ season with even more twists and manipulated arguments (they won't listen to the fans that's for sure), but soon enough if the ratings drop even lower they'll probably decide it's not worth it anymore. :shrug:

[Jake.]

Big Brother: 1.09m (5.9%)
Bit on the Side: 0.53m (3.9%)

[Will.]

Big Brother: 1.09m (5.9%)
Bit on the Side: 0.53m (3.9%)

meh not to bad, will get 1.2-3 with +1, which will get 1.5 official easily.

Very good for bots

[daniel-lewis-1985]

meh not to bad, will get 1.2-3 with +1, which will get 1.5 official easily.

Very good for bots

What?

This is actually terrible especially for such a big eviction.

[Gstar]

yawn

[Will.]

What?

This is actually terrible especially for such a big eviction.

Yeah but it's probably got like nearly 300knon +1, one of this weeks got 264k on +1, so probe got 1.35 which is alright as that will get a 1.6 official.

[Jake.]

288k (3.4%) watched live coverage from the house at 11.30pm.

[Jason.]

288k (3.4%) watched live coverage from the house at 11.30pm.

Well thats LF not coming back then.

:hehe:

[nonstop]

BB is dead. Not even Nikki can bring in ratings. Can't wait for CBB.

[Jake.]

Big Brother: 0.88m (4.8%)

[VanessaFeltz.]

Big Brother: 0.88m (4.8%)

thats actually very good

[Will.]

9pm shows always get high +1 I think, so low 1M with +1

[Jarrod]

I honestly think that they'd benefit from doing Big Brother in the winter. Look at the ratings that the January Celebrity Big Brother gets every year, it gets 3+ million on average.

If they were to run a civilian edition of Big Brother for say 7 weeks with a three week Celebrity Big Brother and then a CBB in the summer [to keep their love of CBB..], the ratings could potentially improve.

[VanessaFeltz.]

i guess 1.1 +1 1.4 officials

[Will.]

I agree, I mean CBB only gets like 1.8 overnight in Summer, only 500k higher than BB normally.

BB from mid Sep - mid November (no later to avoid clash with IAC and no Sat shows (to avoid clash with X Factor).

CBB - Jan as normal

CBB - late May - late June - leaving 3 month break.

Or

BB - Jan - late Feb


CBB - mid March - mid April

CBB - August as normal

Could have CBB first though and then BB, but then we wouldn't get a new house like we normally do for BB.

[Jake.]

1.09m (4.8%).

[Will.]

1.09m (4.8%).

meh not great, so near 1.2 M with +1, boring episode though.

[crazycolaist]

It's not suprising that this is the shortest BB on C5. Even I lost interest for a week couple weeks ago. Back into it now but doesnt feel like a great series's. The hype of ex housemates at beginning was an overhype one

[Will.]

It got 1.4M with +1

good night all around, ch5 stayed above 1M with other programmes

Love Island got 450k (2.0%)

Humans dropped to 2 Million - lost nearly 2M views since the season premiere.

Top gear got 5M

ITV got 5M

[Jake.]

It got 1.4M with +1

A fine rating then

[Will.]

A fine rating then

yeah decent, shame its not earlier on in the series.

Quite surprised considering the poor quality of the episode, but shows that we don't need constant drama for good ratings.

presumably 4th in it slot, don't know what BBC2 got.


only 300k from beating BBC1

[Jason.]

BIB - Didn't they do that for BB12? And the ratings for that series were 2nd lowest (after BB16, atm).

I think BB is meant to be in the summer. I can't see a winter BB helping ratings, because many people won't know it's on. It's like how I'm A Celebrity is a November show, or how CBB is a January show. It just wouldn't work.

Plus, I don't think a Civvy BB in January would work well as usually the summer is when most people have time off (summer holidays and things), so it may be harder for people to get on the show after Christmas.

I think BB ratings are low because people have lost interest in the show. Look at BB14, which almost got 2m. That was because it's a good series. Look at BB15 and BB16 which both have lower averages because they were not good.

Summer CBB only does bad because it's not supposed to be on in the summer. CBB is January show. So people don't bother tuning in. Especially when it's so close to Civvy BB, which gets about 0.5m lower, and the lack of promo for summer CBB.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

BB12 did better than BB15 and far better than what BB16 is averaging.

You are right ratings are low because people are just bored of it its that simple.

[Will.]

Source for the 1.4 million?

Digital Spy, plus its been added to the BBSPY ratings table!

I know its surprising considering how bad the episode was, lmao it got more than Brians big escape.

[Jake.]

1.09 (5.6%)

[Pete.]

At least it's going steady

[Will.]

1.25 with +1, ratings are now on par with BB15 I think from last week.

for anyone interested Under The Dome got 800k

[Kai Anders]

1.25 with +1, ratings are now on par with BB15 I think from last week.

Hoping it averages to 1.4 in officials at least. Not surprised the UTD, fair rating for 10pm, BB would only have faired slightly better at that time so it's consistent.

[Will.]

Yeah ratings have improved now, the official will be at least hitting 1.6 now, it should take the average up but not loads as its only 2 weeks left, if this series launched in June it would have decent/ratings as ratings started improving around the 12th.

You're too optimistic with the ratings. This series has no chance of hitting a 1.60 million official average. It's rating lower than Big Brother 12 and Big Brother 15. We'll be extremely lucky if it hits 1.50 Million in the official ratings. 1.2-1.3 in overnights doesn't boost up to 1.6, it's scraping 1.37-1.40 Million officially.

As of the latest round of officials, this series is averaging at 1.37 Million officially - down almost 300k from Big Brother 15.

No I didn't explain myself we'll, I'm talking about last week and this week! These 2 weeks should get 1.5 officials with 1.2-4 overnight. I mean these 2 weeks could average 1.5 officials not the whole series, that's impossible.

[Will.]

FYI only 60% of officials have +1 figures. 17 officals don't

[Jake.]

1.19m (7.6%)

[Will.]

1.19m (7.6%)

decent, so about 1.25-3 with +1

good share

[Pete.]

Good share

[Jake.]

Big Brother: 1.16m (7.5%)

[Will.]

Wednesday got 1.26M with +1, 8.8%

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What did last night get?

[Will.]

What did last night get?

Ill have another look.

[Will.]

What did last night get?


ah ha! Found it!

Last nights got 1.3M (7.0%) including +1

Third it its slot, beat CH4 and BBC2.

Love Island lost 100k viewers to 390k

highest rated show on CH5 yesterday

Its annoying that we've only got 2 weeks left as the from last week its been getting high 1.2 - 1.4, it should boost the average up a bit if the next 2 weeks are consistent.

4 weeks with decent ratings should boost it.

[Beetlejuice]

The worst series of all time still doing badly. Good.

[crazycolaist]

It appears to be growing now. Bit late mind you

[Will.]

The worst series of all time still doing badly. Good.

1.3 isn't bad, its what every ch5 series would roughly get apart from BB14.

[Rob!]

1.02m (5.6%) excl +1. Tbh I can see people tuning out now Marc has gone but hopefully they'll be able to keep viewers for whatever delights they've got planned next week.

[Will.]

1.02m (5.6%) excl +1. Tbh I can see people tuning out now Marc has gone but hopefully they'll be able to keep viewers for whatever delights they've got planned next week.

thats what yesterday got without +1, but still managed to get 260k on +1!

So it will be saved!

[mrmattybeck1]

Delighted marcc has gone sick of nasty ppl being rewarded

[Pete.]

1.02m (5.6%) excl +1. Tbh I can see people tuning out now Marc has gone but hopefully they'll be able to keep viewers for whatever delights they've got planned next week.
Flop :fan:

[Jason.]

I'm kind of annoyed this series is currently averaging 1.36m. It doesn't even deserve that low rating. It deserves a much lower average of about 900k, IMO.

This series doesn't feel like BB. And BB15 was miles better. Who would've thought?

Still got a long way of snatching BB12's title of the worst ever series. But it's definitely up there.

[Beetlejuice]

Big Brother 12 was relatively well done compared to this one and the last. Awful cast, no live coverage and so on, but they didn't interfere to the point of absurdity like they have done the past couple of years.

[Will.]

True.
What we're forgetting is that BB12 didn't have +1. So 1.55m without +1 isn't that bad. Considering you had BB15, which only had 0.02m higher than BB12, with the help of +1. Without +1, BB15 averaged like 1.43m.

And this series is currently averaging 1.36m including +1.

[fitz2k2]

ratings will drop next week

[thediaryroomchair]

A serious review of the production of the show and the choice of housemates need to be made. Go back to live auditions.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So what was the |+1?

I expect a lot of people would have tuned in to see Marc evicted.

It was so strange all week I ws convinced Harry was a dead cert and last nights eviction was the first one ive watched live this series and I just knew she was gonna say Marc.

What a terrible set of housemates we are left with.

This hasn't felt like Big Brother its felt like a spin off.

[Rob!]

I don't know what is going on with Saturday's of late but 900k is pretty good. Excl +1 as well so will probably be over a million again. Clearly all the "omg Marc's gone, so am I" moaners stayed. Big surprise.

[Pete.]

Don't know, it's probably about 250k which is what Thursday got at 10pm on +1 taking it up to 1.3

[Will.]

900k excluding +1, not bad for a Saturday in BB16, the average for Saturday with BB16 is 850k, but not brilliant or anything.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I don't know what is going on with Saturday's of late but 900k is pretty good. Excl +1 as well so will probably be over a million again. Clearly all the "omg Marc's gone, so am I" moaners stayed. Big surprise.

Marc was still in last nights highlights though lol but I agree that's a decent rating for Saturday. Atleast its not dropping down t0 700k or lower like it was!

[Beetlejuice]

1.3 isn't bad, its what every ch5 series would roughly get apart from BB14.

No, it's the lowest rated series of all time.

[Jake.]

1.13

[Will.]

1.13 with +1

tough night with competition:

BBC One: 3.12M

BBC 2: 1.1

ITV: 5.4M

CH4 - 2.5M

ITV 2 - 490k

Fourth in its slot!

[Will.]

1.18 with +1

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So wtf are the officials seriously no one even cares about this thread anymore lol

[Jamesy]

Everyone's given up caring about ratings now it seems haha. Can't say I care anymore tbh.

[Will.]

Officals


Monday - 1.48
Tuesday - 1.55
Wednesday - 1.57
Thursday - 1.6
Friday - 1.6
Saturday - 1.35
Sunday - 1.63

Mon and Tue didn't include +1 so put estimation with +1.

[Jason.]

Officals


Monday - 1.48

Mon and Tue didn't include +1 so put estimation with +1.

So Mon and Tue ratings are the real ratings then.

[Will.]

So Mon and Tue ratings are the real ratings then.

no and Friday, basically none of them really have +1 apart from wed, thursday and Sunday.

[VanessaFeltz.]

me at this flop actually gained 400k

[Rob!]

1.09m with 70k on +1 for last night.

[Jake.]

Big Brother - 1.20m (7.6%), +1 - 58k (0.7%)

[Kai Anders]

Big Brother - 1.20m (7.6%), +1 - 58k (0.7%)

That's a little better than previously. Hoping the shows officials will attract 1.4m overall at least.

Think BB needs to advertise the final as it always used too, nice final push would increase the overall!

[Rob!]

1.17m incl +1 for last night.

[crazycolaist]

I think this year has held 1.2m this week which is good to see compared to what is was like. Think that 30k who didnt watch like me was affected by tube strike (Didnt get home till 12am last night agh)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I think this year has held 1.2m this week which is good to see compared to what is was like. Think that 30k who didnt watch like me was affected by tube strike (Didnt get home till 12am last night agh)

So 30 thousand people didn't watch BB because of the tube strike? lol

That has to be the worst reason for excusing low ratings ive seen in a very long time.

[Jake.]

Big Brother: 1.19m (7.6%)

[Pete.]

Good share ig

[Rob!]

Well, one thing's for sure - the retention rate for this series can't be argued.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What we all thinking for the final?

Im seriously thinking its probably gonna get about 1.3 :/

[Rob!]

Yeah I can't see it getting any higher than 1.3m tbh.

[Rob!]

Finally got a rating for last night.

843k (5.4%)

[Rob!]

1.10m including +1 for last night (900k without which is a bit ouch.)

[Pete.]

Screaming at it flopping

[Pete.]

The producers deserve it

[VanessaFeltz.]

Screaming at it flopping

Can we see the end of the big flop :P

[Rob!]

I dread to think what the final is going to get :worry: what was last year's final?

[Pete.]

Not a moment too soon

[Pete.]

1.73 million. I'm predicting 1.3m this year

[Rob!]

1.73 million. I'm predicting 1.3m this year

Was that officially or just overnight? It's never going to get more than about 1.3m, you're right. That gap though :worry:

[Pete.]

Was that officially or just overnight? It's never going to get more than about 1.3m, you're right. That gap though :worry:
It was the official BARB rating

[Rob!]

Ah ok - well it'll be about 1.5m officially then I would think. About 200k down isn't THAT bad but with the ratings being this low it feels worse and there's nowhere for it really to fall to.

[Pete.]

BB15 got 1.53m overnight nn

[Pete.]

The fact is people would have tuned in to see how Helen did regardless whether they watched it or not

[Jake.]

Deserves nothing more than what it's getting

[Will.]

screaming at it flopping lmao

[Kai Anders]

Shame because I actually enjoyed last nights episodes a lot, full of way more laughs and a lot less tension than usually, this is what I've been waiting 63 days for tbh, hope producers don't take low ratings as a sign we want less humour

[Jake.]

1.24m

[Kai Anders]

1.24m

Seems better, good episode!

[jackc1806]

Final could stretch to 1.4m, hope it doesn't flop completely

[Kai Anders]

1.07m (6.9%)
+1 70K (0.9%)

The producers deserve it

I don't think the producers have anything to do with it. It was the voting public that turned this show into the flop it is by continuously voting out the most interesting characters like Sarah, Jade, and the biggest draw of the show Marc.

[Rob!]

1.18m +1. Love Island's final got 737K.

[VanessaFeltz.]

Last week deserves 2m

other weeks deserve 2k

[Pete.]

1.18m +1. Love Island's final got 737K.
Get that rise Love Island

[Pete.]

Oh I think that Sam's eviction will hurt next year's ratings because no one trusts them anymore

[Kai Anders]

imo the early start killed the series, doomed from the offset with their 13 days of advertisement as apposed to nearly a month for Secrets and Lies, C5's most successful civillian.

[crazycolaist]

All the hype of ex housemates going in from the start killed it too.

[Jason.]

What do we think tonight will rate?

I'm going with 1.5m

[nonstop]

1.20m lol

[jackc1806]

Baring a +1 miracle, as expected, the lowest ever BB Finale

BB Final: 1.22m (6.7%) exc +1

Peak and +1 will come soon I imagine

[Rob!]

1.28m with +1. Jesus.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Terrible.

BB is dead.

Glad Chloe won though that was the most sincere reaction ive seen in years and reminded me why I loved BB I voted to literally change a normal girls life and she did it :)

[Rob!]

So what does that leave the series average at?

[spot_on]

Deservedly so. BB mistakenly trusted the public with VTE and the public turned the show into a borefest getting rid of the most interesting characters. Hopefully BB learned their lesson and will change the show back to VTS.

[Jason.]

So what does that leave the series average at?

At the moment it's averaging 1.37m, but we need the last two weeks officials.

But I think it's safe to say BB16 will average 1.4m, rounded. So, half a million down on Secrets and Lies, two years earlier. And 0.2/3m less than all the other C5 series (BB12, BB13, and BB15).

So, basically BB16 is the lowest C5 series, by a mile.

[nonstop]

Deserved ratings.

[Loukas]

some good news?

Massive numbers tune in to Big Brother Final on TV3.

Almost half a million people tuned into TV3 to watch last night’s Big Brother final. The final episode of the series reached an impressive 458,800 people, with a 15.96% share of the available viewing population.

Last night’s Big Brother final was a ratings hit for TV3 Group, rounding off the show’s incredible performance across the series. The finale reached an impressive 458,800 people as Chloe Wilburn was crowned the 2015 winner. With an average of 224,700 viewers across the episode, the last in the series held a 15.96% share of the available viewing population.

It was the most popular night of the series for Adults 15-44 with a share of 20.00%, while it also performed extremely well for Adults 15-24 with a 27.74% share.

Big Brother 2015 wasn’t short on controversy or drama, and more often than not, Irish housemates Marc O’Neill and Jade Lynch were in the thick of it. Across the series, an average of 131,700 people tuned in each night across TV3, 3e and TV3+1, while TV3’s daily reach was 245,700 per episode.

Hosted by Emma Willis, this year’s Big Brother saw the house embark on a ‘Timebomb’ theme with a Mad Men-influenced, '60s-style deco. As Big Brother had full reign over time in the house, viewers were treated to a couple of blasts from the past with Big Brother legends Nikki Grahame, Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace, Brian Belo and Helen Wood re-entering the house.

The main show and Big Brother’s Bit on the Side brought in 2.677 million viewers across TV3, TV3+1 and 3e during the run of the series, proving to very popular with Irish audiences.

Speaking about the ratings success, a spokesperson for TV3 said: “This year has proved that after ten years on air the beast that is Big Brother is alive and well. For 3e and TV3 it has been a brilliant addition to our schedule with the ratings growing each night, and it’s not over yet! Celebrity Big Brother will be on our screens soon with, we’re sure, even more hilarious stand out moments.”

The regular folk may have served their time, but now the celebrities must enter the Big Brother house. The fly-on-the-wall fun will return in August as Emma Willis invites a fresh group of famous faces to move in together. With the rumour mill already in full swing, the first Celebrity Big Brother to air on TV3 won’t be one to miss.

Slay a bit

[spot_on]

some good news?

That is what we call in the new biz "spin"

[Kai Anders]

If I'm not mistaken, our BB (inc.CBB) cost £40mil a year for rights from Edemol, and TV3 bought the rights to show our series for just £1mil, considering a 15% share for the Irish TV audience, is that suggestive that TV3 has made a significant profit or not, as it is pretty fair to say C5 will be on a thin line between making a profit or not compared.

[MB.]

The show in the 9pm slot on Channel 5 last night had 436k... I can see why they renewed Big Brother now.

[arista]

Terrible.

BB is dead.

Glad Chloe won though that was the most sincere reaction ive seen in years and reminded me why I loved BB I voted to literally change a normal girls life and she did it :)


Don't Be So Dramatic.

Its Not dead
it a Ch5HD/MTVHD/TV3

[Will.]

BB slaying in Ireland

BB IS DEAD.

They have totally run out of ideas and lost the viewers theres no way they can reign them back in now after 2 years of crap ratings and terrible production.

Face it no one gives a **** anymore 1.3 for a finale? hats what last years highlights were getting.

[VanessaFeltz.]

I mean we never thought it would get a very high rating but 1.3 for finale....

[Iceman]

Great ratings over here. I reckon it'll get higher ones for CBB

[mrmattybeck1]

I wish i certain poster would stop been so bloody negative if you don't like it don't watch

[Kai Anders]

When do we get officials???

[MB.]

Next week

[MB.]

The last officials are in - the series averaged 1.36 million (although some of the figures are missing +1, so we'll see if Channel 5 release a final average with these added like they've done in previous years)

[Jake.]

so they'll probably round it to 1.4 then

[Jason.]

Deserves lower than 1.4m, TBH. Wasn't this series averaging 1.1m at one point, or was I making that up?

Either way, it's the lowest on C5. Even BB15's average excl. +1 got higher than that. BB15 exc. +1 got about 1.43m - with 1.57m inc. +1.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I wish i certain poster would stop been so bloody negative if you don't like it don't watch

Ah mate **** off and face facts.

You have posted negative comments about this years series aswell so stop being a hypocrite and hit the ignore button.

Ive watched BB since day 1 and will continue to do so, i would say 90% of this forum was not happy with this years BB we don't all have to rim the production team for example you can be a fan of a football club and still critique it when they perform sh!t.

Seriously hit ignore you obviously cannot handle me saying anything bad about the show fgs stop being so sensitive its not as if im calling your mother a cock sucker.

[mrmattybeck1]

He's still here then saying the same tiresome comments week after week yawnnnn

[daniel-lewis-1985]

He's still here then saying the same tiresome comments week after week yawnnnn

Are you talking about me?

Ive hardly been on the forum this year lol.

Im sorry but did you think this years BB was an amazing series with great ratings because most of the forum DID NOT yet you chose once again to single me out in my comments.

Go look through the forum the overwhelming opinion is that this years BB sucked and that's reflected in these dismal ratings.

You seriously must live on cloud 9 or be on some very strong opiates.

[MB.]

Ive hardly been on the forum this year lol.

Didn't you close your shop early or something for Big Brother though

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Didn't you close your shop early or something for Big Brother though

No I hired help lol I don't have a shop I have an online business.

That just proves how sad and loyal I still am to BB this person seems to think I hate the show.

After 3 weeks I was back to working everyday and just watched BB on catchup which ive never done before but the 4 in 4 out twist killed it for me.......Sarah and the twins were amazing housemates and I was like screw this time to get a grip and get back to work.

Anyway I was talking about me not being on the forum as much this year which I wasn't that's been clear from my posts so don't know if you're trying to catch me out or troll or something but not gonna happen.
