CBB17 Ratings Thread

[Calderyon]

Discussion and speculation about the ratings of CBB17.

[Will.]

With TV viewership down a lot this year with most shows I'm guessing about 3.0M

2014 and 15's launch rating:

CBB15 - 3.27million (16.3%)
CBB13 - 3.4million (15.0%)

[AProducer'sWetDream]

[/B]

Agreed. January usually gets pretty big names and most people were pretty positive about the summer series which may encourage more people to watch.
I'm going with a lower figure (3.0-3.2 million) with a similar share (14-15%). A little more optimistic than you though :laugh:

[mrmattybeck1]

Sadly with all these low TV ratings accross the board I don't believe the numbers now using the outdated ratings method

[Jason.]

CBB13 and CBB15 both got around the same launch rating of 3.7m, but with TV viewership down recently (with the two recent series of BB suffering), I'm going to take a guess and say 3.3m official for the launch.

[Maxxie.]

The official launch rating has never been below 3.6m. I think it will be above that maybe slightly below no less than 3.50 though. But i think the year of this year's bb bight lower it as it's had the lowest ever rated bb & cbb this summer. Theres usually 1m difference with summer & january so I think the average will be 2.9m unless it's outstanding which it potentially will be.

[Jason.]

Isn't it usually 1m difference between the January CBB and the summer CBB that air the same year as opposed to the summer CBB that aired a few months earlier in the previous year. But even then that's not always true.

CBB10 averaged 2.2m and CBB11 averaged 2.8m.
CBB12 averaged 2.3m and CBB13 averaged 3.1m.

I think that was only for CBB14 where it was 1m down on CBB15.

But if the viewers who stopped watching BB16/CBB16 also don't tune in to CBB17 as well as the decrease in TV viewship, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if CBB17 rates around 2.8m overall like CBB11 did.

[Will.]

yeah so CBB16 averaged 1.9M

So if we go by that then it would be around 2.6-8.

[Jason.]

Bump.

With IAC now over, CBB just round the corner (has it really been 2 months since CBB16 ended?), and the eye being revealed. I thought I'd bump this thread.

Predictions?

[Denver]

January Viewership will be right back up as people stay in more over the winter.

[mrmattybeck1]

I expect around 3m for the winter launch always does much better than summer bb/cbb

[Jason.]

Bumping this again.

With just two and half weeks to go till this series kicks off and with the house pictures having been just revealed. Any predictions?

I'm going to say 3.3m for the launch and 2.9m official series average.

Could be very close their hopefully it holds up well

[*mazedsalv**]

I honestly don't know. I know CBB15 recovered very well from BB15/CBB14 being the lowest at the time, and now CBB17 will follow a BB16/CBB16 which were the new lowest rated, so will it recover, time will tell?

I'd say in terms of where BB stands at the moment, they are in a better position now than we would have been if there was no CBB16 inbetween BB16 and CBB17. I know just like BB15, BB16 rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way.

So I think CBB16 was a generally well received series compared to the latest civilian series, with a winner which fit the bill more than a lot of the other winners. So, I think C5 will be happy they had CBB16 as a welcome break because BB16 got such a frosty reception and CBB16 didn't.

So IMO, CBB17 is in a better position in the case that it followed a series which didn't piss many people off.

But will CBB17 be the lowest winter CBB ever? That stands as CBB9s 2.6m official average right now. The thing with CBB17 is that I don't think they will have a standout character like the last two Jan series (Jim and Hopkins). So it could suffer from that. CBB16 had Janice which was a big draw but it didn't stop it from being the lowest rated CBB (even though it was up half a million from BB16 which is a decent lift).

I'm going to say that it will be the first CBB winter series to launch under 3m.

2.6m overnight (3m official), and an official average of 2.5m (overnight average of 2.1m).

2.6m overnight (3m official), and an official average of 2.5m (overnight average of 2.1m).

I think you're predicting way too low, I don't think it will average lower than CBB9 officially - given CBB is in a much better state now than it was back in 2012, especially with the last successful two years the show has had with CBB13 and CBB15. And CBB16 being well-received too.

I don't think it will average 3.1m like the last two years have, but a loss of 0.6m is quite a big drop. TV viewership would have to be low for that to be possible as well as it being quite an awful series (hopefully not :fc:). I think it will average lower than 3m officially, but higher than 2.5m. I personally think 2.8/2.9m sounds more realistic. But only time can tell. I'd love for it to average 3m (even if it is lower than CBB13/15), but with everything rating low/lower than usual recently, I don't have much hope.

[Jason.]

Just under a week till the series kicks off. Bump.

[Cal.]

Launch night will get 2.9 million I think.

Series Average - 2.8 million.

[mrmattybeck1]

Prediction
Launch night 2.7m

[mrmattybeck1]

Series average 2.5m

[RichardG]

I'll go for 2.5m overnight, hopefully I'm wrong. :worry: I want this series to rate really well !!

[Denver]

4 millio viewers will flock in to see Jeremy

[Jason.]

4 millio viewers will flock in to see Jeremy

no

[Firewire]

2.4 launch

[Jason.]

2.7m launch (overnights) 3.3m (official)

[zakman440]

2.5/6 for the launch (hopefully it'll outrate the Big Fat Quiz on Channel 4)

[*mazedsalv**]

I'll say it will be lower than I said before. 2.3m in my opinion with +1.

[Mrmattybeck]

2.6-2.7m I think generally live tv viewing is down consolated numbers will tell the truer picture

[*mazedsalv**]

To be honest today has been a good day for CBB promo.

On Twitter Im surprised it's not getting too much of a bad reaction due to the lineup. Twitter has exploded today.

So...

- CBB HM selection leaked by The Sun, Daily Mail and The Daily Star
- Kim Kardashian has tweeted about CBB and how she will watch it, she has almost 39m followers, so that's some great promo.
- Channel 5 at the moment, Best 2015 Moments has had a lot of CBB moments in them.
- 5* has been running repeats of the "Best of BB on 5" shows right now.
- LAD Bible posted the lineup, "who the hell are these people" and the comments on the page were very very bad and how everyone hated BB, BUT they have 11m likes on the page, so any promo is good promo.

So today has been a good one in making people know its coming back.

[Wizard.]

300 million

[VanessaFeltz.]

3.11m launch
2.7 average

[Will.]

I honestly don't know, it's been getting a lot of promo.

[*mazedsalv**]

Launches:

CBB8: 5.08m (21.9%)
CBB9: 3.54m (16.6%)
CBB10: 2.71m (13.1%)
CBB11: 3.55m (17.0%)
CBB12: 2.83m (15.7%)
CBB13: 3.40m (15.0%)
CBB14: 2.36m (12.6%)
CBB15: 3.27m (16.3%)
CBB16: 2.22m (12.7%)

Honestly don't think it will be anywhere near CBB15. I predict 2.4m. Interesting that despite CBB15 launching at lowest winter, it became the highest ever on C5, despite it launching with 1.9m less than CBB8!!!

[Daniel-X]

3.2 million on launch.

2.9 for series average.

[crazycolaist]

3.01 for launch me thinks

[Mrmattybeck]

3.1m salv think your prediction is way too low

[Jake.]

2.67m (13.2%) exc. C5+1.

[RichardG]

:worry: Isn't that quite low for winter cbb?

[*mazedsalv**]

It got 2.8m incl +1.

Not too bad, down on the previous January obviously but highest rated show on CH5 in 11 months, since CBB15 ended in Feb 2015.

2nd in it's slot beating ITV, CH4 and BBC2.

[Jack.]

I think that rating is alright considering tv viewing figures have dropped a good bit since last years January series.

[*mazedsalv**]

I think that rating is alright considering tv viewing figures have dropped a good bit since last years January series.

Agree, I think I read an article that in general from Dec 2014 to Dec 2015, average drop in viewers were 14%.

So, it's plausible.

[Jake.]

2.8 with plus 1

[Will.]

Decent, down like 400k on last years. It was up against Silent Witness and I don't think CBB13/15 went up against it.

[Will.]

Down 300k on CBB13.

[Will.]

Silent Witness got 7M

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its a decent rating and a huge jump from the summer.

I think this could be one of those series that climbs given the characters in there.

[Jamesy]

Seems decent to me and the share is good.

[Will.]

Its a decent rating and a huge jump from the summer.

I think this could be one of those series that climbs given the characters in there.

Didn't CBB13 climb?

[neneu10]

I predict 3.2/3.3 on officials tough

[Jack.]

Agree, I think I read an article that in general from Dec 2014 to Dec 2015, average drop in viewers were 14%.

So, it's plausible.

Yeah it's not many shows that are getting great overnight ratings anymore.

[Will.]

A little comparison:

TXF 2015 launched with a Million drop on the previous year (7.33M in total)

A million is 1/8 of the viewing audience of XF (8M)

CBB2016 launched with a 400K decrease on the previous year. (2.8M)

400k is 1/8 of the viewing audience. (3.2M)

So both shows have lost the same amount of viewers on launch.

Obviously not precise as I rounded slightly.

[bbuk_fans]

the problem with the demographic of shows such as bb, x factor etc, they are more likely to catch up online more than any other demographics, which means in general most shows are down in overnights.

*edit* well its not a problem as such, just maybe, a little bit less concerning.

[Jason.]

Didn't CBB13 climb?

Yes

[Will.]

CBB15 continued with 2.5M on the second night (700k decrease 3.2M)

CBB13 continued with 1.8M on the second night (it was a Saturday though), 1.6M decrease (3.4M).

CBB11 continued with 2M on the second night, a 1.5M decrease. (3.5M)

So I'd guess around 2.1-2 for tonight, maybe less. It depends.

[Jason.]

Not a bad rating. I mean it's inveitable given the decrease of TV viewership in the past year. So with officials coming in it should be around 3.2/3.2m (just as I predicted) which isn't too bad.

[Jason.]

I think the series will average 2.8m officially

[Will.]

Not a bad rating. I mean it's inveitable given the decrease of TV viewership in the past year. So with officials coming in it should be around 3.2/3.2m (just as I predicted) which isn't too bad.

yeah, all is good. I very much doubt CH5 are crying over the rating :laugh:

Same, in my first post I predicted high 2M's due to decrease in TV viewership.

I think this series will hold steady and won't loose many viewers.

[Will.]

Tonights competition:

BBC1 - David Attenborough
BBC 2 - Three Days Of Terror - The Charlie Hebdo Attacks
ITV - Midsomer murders.
CH4 - 24 HRS in A&E
CH5 - CBB

[Jason.]

I think C5 need to stop worrying about ratings and focus more on the quality of the show rather than trying to get high viewers, because it won't happen. They made that mistake in BB16, which could've been a good series had they not tampered with it and kept it natural like the first few weeks week. Yeah it still would've rated crap, but I'd rather have a good series which rates rubbish than a crap series which rates rubbish.

I also think the viewership decrease is down to people not watching live TV much anymore as opposed to the show being crap (in CBB's case anyway, with BB it's because it's crap)

:clap1:

Very true, along as it stays consistently above like 2M then they shouldn't worry, just focus on creating an iconic series, which they have done with CBB over the last couple of years.

I just get bored of BB sometimes, I think having it on for like 10 weeks is too much, unless they cut down the amount of episodes, everynight is overkill, no other show is on everyday like that for 10 weeks.

2 hours on Sunday, 1 hour on Wednesday, and 90 mins on Friday.

[Jason.]

I personally don't think the duration is the reason why it's rating low. I don't think 10 weeks is too much given it used to air for 13 weeks about 10 years ago and still get like 4m viewers (I mean I know it's not a good comparison given the show was more better/relevant back then and it was...10 years ago) but even three years ago a 10-week series could average 1.9m (even BB13 was doing well in the ratings and was rating a comfortable 1.8m before the Olympics came along).

Having a highlights show every few days would be awful given C5 hardly show us much in a one hour nightly episode with all the montages, coming-ups, previously, and the warning titles. So to fit 3 days worth of footage into a one hour Wednesday episode would probably do more harm than help. The silly stunts and gimmicks is why the show has failed in recent years, and unfortunately C5 live and breath them so the format will continue to rot and rot because they've lost a heavy amount of loyal viewers during BB15/16 and they won't learn and will continue to lose more and more. It's the reason why shows like TA and IAC are still doing well a decade later, because they don't have silly gimmicks and they keep the format largely the same. If you compared to the format of BB7 to say BB16, it'd be a completely different show. Heck if you compared the format of BB12 to BB16, it'd be a different show.

[Will.]

Yeah I get were you coming from, it probs wouldn't work with CH5.

kind of annoying how the first 2 weeks of BB16 rated really low but once we had 4in4out ratings went up.

they need to just follow BB13/14 as a template and they should be fine.

[*mazedsalv**]

we don't have the +1 yet but last night got 2.00m excl. Probably 2.2m with +1. Launch got 2.8m.

There is usually a 25% ish drop from launch to first hls, so standard drop. In fact, I think CBB11 had a drop from 3.4m to 2.0m, which is much larger fall.

[Will.]

That's ok.

Beat CBB 11 and 13.

[*mazedsalv**]

DS:

BBC1:
Dickensian- 2.66m
Sir David Attenborough's Great Barrier Reef​- 3.20m

ITV:
Midsomer Murders​- 5.36m

Channel 4:
Secret Shopper​ with Mary Portas- 1.50m
24 Hours in A&E​- 2.09m
Katie Piper's Bodyshockers- 993k

Channel 5:
Celebrity Big Brother- 2.19m

It's not bad considering that right now bar Gogglebox, A&E seems to be C4s flagship show and it beat that.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That's decent and pretty much the norm for the 1st episode seeing as most people don't tune in as they stupidly think its just a recap *Bangs head against wall* I think tonight should rise the launch was great BUT i'll be honest this is the first CBB in years where everyone is all lovey dovey and im really scared we may get another CBB8/CBB11.

Someone just punch someone in the face ffs! lol

[*mazedsalv**]

Yeah it's not bad.

I mean CBB11 went from 3.4m to 2.0m in one day. CBB13 went from 3.3m to 1.9m in one day (however that was a Saturday). So it's higher than both of them, both series ended up surging in the ratings. Don't know how CBB11 surged considering how awful it was!

I agree with you about the recap. I don't think tonight will rise because last nights BB wasn't received very well. I reckon 1.9m incl +1 sadly.

The lovey dovey stuff wont last. The first 3-4 days are usually pretty dead, it then explodes after the first eviction usually. Also, I see Jonathan and Angie already had a tiff this morning so that's a story we can follow.

Lol, I don't condone violence but if he makes a stupid comment in the house, I'd love for him to get punched :joker: sadly the person doing the punch will get kicked out though!

[Will.]

I predict 2.3M for tonight.

I'm making a little table for the ratings.

[Will.]

Celebrity Big Brother 17 Ratings!

Launch night - 2.81M (14%)

Lowest launch figure for Jan CBB. Up against Silent Witness.

Day 1 - 2.19M (9.9%)

A good rating for the first highlight show, beat CBB11 and 13, not as high as 15.

[Jake.]

*17

[JoshBB]

I predict 2.07m for tonight

[*mazedsalv**]

2.04m incl +1 for last night.

Meh, it did beat everything on C4 and BBC2, but we should be prepared for the lowest rated winter series IMO.

Winter series:
CBB9- 2.6m official average
CBB11- 2.8m official average
CBB13- 3.0m official average
CBB15- 3.1m official average

Shame, CBB17 is going to reverse that :(

[Will.]

2nd highlights of Winter CBB:


CBB15: 2.25
CBB13: 2.33
CBB 11: 2.07

NOTE: I didn't put CBB15's second overnight as that was a live show which always rates higher, so took the third highlight show.

It's actually decent, remember TV viewership is down. a 100-200k loss is acceptable considering most shows are losing a lot more viewers.

200k is like 10% of an audience decrease.

CBB11 averaged 2.3M views overall which I'm sure this series can beat once it really starts progressing.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

This series is a grower not a shower lol there will be an incident I guarantee it and ratings will pick up.

Cant believe theres an eviction tonight though whats the point? Literally 3 days in the house.

[Will.]

yeah, it will most likely follow CBB13.

I'm sure the rows in CBB13 took a few days to properly begin?

Yeah it seems a bit pointless, should have just waited until Tuesday.

[billy123]

Cant believe theres an eviction tonight though whats the point? Literally 3 days in the house.I think people have wised up to them manufacturing fake dramas 3 times a year. A lot of the BB audience are pretty dumb but even they are getting bored of the "storyline" that magically appears in week 2 :joker:

[Jarrod]

With TV audiences down on a whole anyway, I'm not surprised. I'm actually shocked it's managed to keep that many viewers. I expect a bit of a pick-up in the officials when everything is taken into account.

[Jason.]

2.04m incl +1 for last night.

Meh, it did beat everything on C4 and BBC2, but we should be prepared for the lowest rated winter series IMO.

CBB13- 3.0m official average
CBB15- 3.1m official average

Shame, CBB17 is going to reverse that :(

CBB13 also averaged 3.1m didn't it? It averaged 3.07m officially.

[*mazedsalv**]

CBB13 also averaged 3.1m didn't it? It averaged 3.07m officially.

3.04m.
CBB15 was the one that averaged 3.07m.

However CBB13 in general is the most successful in terms that it kept growing, CBB15 was dragged down in the last week, it would have been around 3.2m official last year if it wasn't for the last week.

[*mazedsalv**]

Tonights going to be bad (and tomorrow obviously being a Sat) because the first show faces football, but hoping it can still be 2m.

Lip Sync is then on.

Followed by the eviction interview at 10:30pm-11:05pm which IMO is too late, and will struggle to even get 1.5m

[Jason.]

I swear CBB13 averaged 3.07m and CBB15 averaged 3.09m

That's what it says on Wikipedia anyway. And it says both averaged 3.1m

[*mazedsalv**]

I swear CBB13 averaged 3.07m and CBB15 averaged 3.09m

That's what it says on Wikipedia anyway. And it says both averaged 3.1m

I've gone off what it says on BBspy and calculated the officials to make sure they were correct.

[Will.]

Does football get a lot of ratings?

Oh that's quite low :shocked: No +1 yet.

Great rating for Lip Sync Battle.

I don't think they should continue with the split eviction thing.

So the first week has averaged 2.1m in overnights. (I'll update once last nights +1 come in), but I doubt it'll change much.

http://i.imgur.com/wd0WmhK.png

CBB15 first week (first 3 days Wednesday - Friday) - 2.71m
CBB13 first week - 2.48m

[Will.]

I've no idea what tonight will get, considering highlights show are getting more than evictions so far.

Maybe 1.9, IDK.

[Ross.]

There's been one eviction lmao

[Jason.]

It's Saturday (the day which always rates the lowest). I'm thinking 1.4m tbh

[Jason.]

There's been one eviction lmao

Stating the obvious, go on?

[Will.]

CBB15 first Saturday: 2.25M
CBB13 first Saturday: 1.85M
CBB11 first Saturday: 2.07M

I'll say 1.5-7 with +1.

[Will.]

There's been one eviction lmao

Go on?

[Jason.]

CBB13's ratings were actually lower than CBB11's till it became awesome and grew as the series went along <33

[Will.]

CBB13's ratings were actually lower than CBB11's till it became awesome and grew as the series went along <33

The only days were it decreased upon the previous week were Wednesday and Thursday in week 2>3.

the second and third week averaged 2.3-4M

Ratings went through the roof in the last few days, with overnights of 2.8-3M

The final week averaged 2.8M overnight.

[Jason.]

CBB11 actually rated quite well for a crap series. Especially the launch and final (both of which rated higher than CBB15's - the highest rated series of CBB on 5). Like 0.6m more people watched Rylan's win than Katie Price's

iirc, didn't it snow A LOT during CBB11 like in the UK, that probably helped ratings as more people probably stayed indoors during the snow, idk.

Yeah it snowed during Kathy Beale's eviction and she went via the diary room. I remember those days, it felt so wintery and cosy <3

It averaged 2.3M overnight, hopefully CBB17 can get there.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ouch very poor rating especially for such a controvercial eviction!

This series isn't really doing anything for me i'll be honest it needs something it just doesn't have the magic that CBB15 and the summer series had and I usually hate the summer series!

[Jason.]

IA. CBB15 was full of action this time last year. Wasn't Jeremy ejected like exactly this time last year on the first Saturday of the series

[*mazedsalv**]

The only small potential positive is IF it got a large +1 rating for it's 9pm episode, but you know... meh. Maybe FA Cup (IF there are lots of footie fans watching this series) dented it.

I reckon it got 1.90m with +1, if it did, then that's like 2.3m officially, which isn't great, but it's not terrible.

Tonight would do terrible obviously because being a Saturday, coming off the back of last night which people have a bitter taste about and TV clashing with it (even though it was a tiny 5 mins).

I cant even see it getting 1.3m. But tomorrow back up to 1.9m levels.

People are right about the last January series.

CBB9 is currently the lowest rated winter series which an official average of 2.6m (2.2m overnight im sure), CBB11 had 2.8m (2.3m overnight), no idea how because it was an awful series bur like someone said I remember as I was in 2nd year of uni and the weather was awful.

I remember everyone staying round my friends house watching Gillian's eviction because we couldn't even open the front door to go out! :joker:

Then I think CBB13 is the one which should be praised more in the long run. It increased week by week and got a great reaction. It was also the first time since BB7 where the final was watched more than the launch.

CBB15 had an incredible start. Jeremy was ejected on the Friday (shown on Sat) and that rated 2.25m which was a record for Saturday, then Ken was ejected and then the next Saturday, another record when 2.54m tuned in.... on a Saturday! Just does prove that if people wanted to watch CBB on a Saturday, they would.

Other Saturday ratings that did well for being on that day was Luisa v Dappy row in CBB13 and that night in CBB14 when everything happened... "you stinking French s***!"

[*mazedsalv**]

From Liam Hamilton on Twitter.

Alesha Dixon 'robs' #DavidWalliams in UK premiere of #LipSyncBattle on Channel 5, watched by 1.7m at 10pm between 2 #CBB eps - 1.9m & 1.6m

These include +1, Prof Green said 1.8m, but Liam usually gets accurate figures. Anyway for a C5 night getting 1.5m+ is unheard of so great for them. It may not be great BB but they helped LSB a lot.

Big Brother Part 1- 1.9m
Lip Sync Battle- 1.7m
Big Brother The Interview- 1.6m

[Jason.]

CBB13 :flutter:

CBB15 did well and could've rated even higher had it not been for the final week.

[Briancbbfan]

Hi all I had to make an account because there's something I think a lot of you are not taking into account on these rating threads

In Ireland celeb big brother is now shown on TV3 which is one of the main 3 channels in Ireland really. I can't remember when it started broadcasting but I think it was the normal series which Chloe Wilburn won.

Now up until this point ALL Irish viewers watched the show on Channel 5 and many of us on Sky couldn't record it (as you have to manually add the channel) which meant we were watching the show live on channel 5.

This CBB and the last CBB have been on TV3 and ratings have been quite good at around 300-400k while it isn't massive it doesn't include people who record...


Just a thing to take into consideration that all Irish viewers watch the show on a different channel now :)?

Welcome :D

Also, that's a good point. If 300k watch on TV3, those people were most likely watching on C5 before BB16.

CBB13- 1.85m
CBB14- 1.69m
CBB15- 2.25m
CBB16- 910,000

A bit worrying it could only beat CBB16 (by a lot though!), if it was around 250k higher than it would have been much better.

Tonight 1.8-1.9m?

[Jason.]

It's worrying that CBB12 and CBB14 (summer CBB's) saturday's both got higher than last nights Saturday rating :worry:

[Ross.]

That's a really low figure for The Voice too, around a million down from last year. :shocked:

Decent rating for CBB considering it's strange decline this week

[Mrmattybeck]

It seems all shows reality TV especially is struggling at the moment

[Blog Rider]

It seems all shows reality TV especially is struggling at the moment

The genre is dying out.

[Jason.]

TV viewership is decreasing nowadays. Especially in the past year. Didn't someone on here say that TV viewership in 2015 had dropped by about 14% compared to the previous year. Hence why most reality shows/TV shows in 2015 didn't rate as well/rated lower than they did in 2014 (XF, BB, Summer CBB, TA, IAC, etc)

Good point, however Irish people (myself included) who watched on Channel 5 wouldn't have been counted in ratings as we aren't in the UK.

However I suppose it means that Big Brother is being watching by another 100,000+ people, even if they're not counted (in the UK)

I'm not sure it would be as high as 300,000 people to be honest, and its nearly impossible to get figures here :(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The genre is dying out.

No its not Geordie Shore is still doing well as is Ex On The Beach and IAC.

Fact is CBB and BB have lost viewership simple as that.

[Jake.]

21:00 Celebrity Big Brother: 1.81m (7.5%)

[Jake.]

Not with +1

[jackc1806]

2m then I'm guessing with +1. As awful as is tonight could see a boost in wake of today's news concerning Angie.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

These are like Summer CBB ratings should be getting 2.4/2.6 overnight with the success of CBB15 and the critical success of UK VS USA!

[*mazedsalv**]

Celebrity Big Brother surged to 2.09m incl +1.

I don't think it will go any higher than that unless something big happens. It could be that officials add half a million like CBB11 and CBB13 did. CBB11 averaged 2.3m overnights (2.8m official). Don't know how considering how dull that series was, imagine it without Rylan and Speidi.

[*mazedsalv**]

Tonight will be down for sure.

Silent Witness and most importantly both Benidorm and The Undateables will take viewers away from CBB. They are much more young demo friendly than last nights War and Peace and Endeavour.

Ratings so far:

Launch- 2.80m
Wednesday- 2.19m
Thursday- 2.04m
Friday- 1.9m and 1.7m
Saturday- 1.46m
Sunday- 2.09m

[sampvt]

Sorry to be a killjoy, but no matter which way you cut or dice it, this years CBB is failing on all levels. Its become way too PC and even the producers are promoting gender issues as if its topical. Its getting hard to watch and the tasks and storylines this year are pathetic.

Any other winter cbb i would watch cbb over the undateables and benidorm but this year the series is so boring. So i'll be giving it a miss tonight and i'll be watching Undateables and benidorm instead.

[Jamesy]

I think the issues lie with how tacky its become and how they haven't bothered changing anything to improve ratings. The whole production is exactly the same, it doesn't matter how good of a cast you have, if the production is crap then the show will be crap.

[sampvt]

In this case both are crap so go figure

[*mazedsalv**]

I think the issues lie with how tacky its become and how they haven't bothered changing anything to improve ratings. The whole production is exactly the same, it doesn't matter how good of a cast you have, if the production is crap then the show will be crap.

I think that's quite hypocritical.

Remember BB16. This is how the story went:

- Big Brother lets them get on with it, not much meddling
- The vieweing figures decline to the worst ever, at one point they were getting 800k on a non Saturday.
- People are moaning why they haven't done anything because "BB is dying"
- BB producers think up of 4 in 4 out
- Ratings increase to around 1.2m, so around 30% higher.
- People think it's unfair.
- Big Brother does Time Warp Week, ratings increase to 1.4m. Highest of the series.
- Viewers moan "WHY, can't they have just left it alone?"

So, those moaning about how dull it is, they are only giving BB the thumbs up to throw in a very annoying OTT twist like Helen Wood going back in again.

So, do people want natural rows and have it run its course, OR do people want producers to mess about with the show like they did in BB15 and BB16?

I bet if they do that, people will them exclaim "You should have left it the way it was"

It's no wonder they don't know what to do sometimes. They probably don't want to change anything because people will phone OFCOM complaining.

Also, I think people are blindsided by the ratings due to CBB13 and CBB15. This series is only down 200k-250k from CBB9 and CBB11 in the overnights. It's not a huge drop considering there are around 20% less viwwers watching TV than they were in 2012 and 2013.

[Jamesy]

While twists such as 4in4out do work to boost figures, a series such as BB16 was still under performing despite the big twists thrown into it.

Leaving things completely doesn't work these days, so that's easy to accept. Although there still needs to be a degree of the social experiment side of it. The BB14 formula worked well. A mixture of twists and meddling to keep up interest, and natural drama left to do its own thing.

This is more than about twists though. It's about the entire production, from tasks and shopping tasks, to the editing, to how the themes are conceived. I think it's a congregation of things that has caused people to loose interest, rather than one specific thing (like twists).

Saying that I don't find the ratings for this series so far anything to worry about. It's still C5s biggest puller.

[Briancbbfan]

Sorry to be a killjoy, but no matter which way you cut or dice it, this years CBB is failing on all levels. Its become way too PC and even the producers are promoting gender issues as if its topical. Its getting hard to watch and the tasks and storylines this year are pathetic.

It's strange because I am actually enjoying this season so much. It's one of my favourites so far without a doubt! I think with nominations and tasks coming up there's bound to be some drama and the line up in my opinion is probably the best we've seen so far... different folks different strokes I guess :)

[crazycolaist]

Season has started sluggish but I feel its about to pick up

[nonstop]

The format is beyond stale and I say this as a longtime viewer. I mostly catch-up online instead of watching live.

[Cal.]

There's just too much BB a year in my opinion.

3 weeks in January and 9 weeks over the summer is all that's needed.

We have like 16 weeks now.

[Pete.]

When Channel 5 regularly get under 1 million, I still think these ratings are pretty good

[Cal.]

But yeah these ratings aren't going to go up this series. They haven't gone up since Winston and that was all over TV/radio so I don't think they will unless something like Jeremy/Chloe happens.

Decent share I guess

[*mazedsalv**]

2.08m incl +1. At least it's stabilising above 2m. Night before it got 2.09m. And last night was very tough competition from Silent Witness, The Undateables and Benidorm who all share quite a high young audience.

This to me is the least tacky CBB has been since its move to Channel 5.

Theres a lot of conversation, hardly any meddling from producers, brilliant graphics for a change.....

How is this year tackier than UK VS USA or ALL the Brian series?

Its improved immensely and gone back to much more like the Channel 4 days.

Explain to me whats tackier this year than any other.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I have to say aswell Channel 5 has some brilliant programming at the mo I mean They got The X Files I bet Channel 4 wanted that soooooo much lol.

The new Heroes, CBB, Gotham and love the documentaries.

If this programming was on ITV and didn't have the Channel 5 stigma these shows would be huge.

Well I didn't say this year is tackier than any other series. The highlights episodes have certainly been improved from last year too so I'll agree with you there.

My points are more about how the show has been since BB15, you only need one tacky/messy series to push people away.

The only part of this series that has been tacky is the launch night. Apart from that it's only really the montages at the start of each episode that have been awful, and some of Marcus' narration. They need simplify the editing in some areas still.

For me it's the launch night that set the tone. It was a really poor production. The highlights have been improved however.

2.2M including +1

Yeah it probably will, I think CBB16 had some big officials and lower overnights.

They're showing X Files! :cheer2:

[Will.]

I reckon 2.3M tonight.

[Maxxie.]

Yeah it probably will, I think CBB16 had some big officials and lower overnights.

Hmm its a weird one. Megan and Tiffany have literally broke Twitter tonight I still think we are gonna see a big incident and a big climb. Please no more ratings under 2 million this is a great series its not epic but im enjoying it.

[Briancbbfan]

As a matter of interest, are ratings of these kind not seriously flawed and outdated?

Do these overnight ratings account for people who watching on playback? For example, I always record Big Brother and watch it an hour later. Am I excluded from the ratings? Surely, actually watching the show at 9pm is a rarity nowadays amongst generation record and playback??? Not to mind the fact that many of my friends and I watch the show on Irish TV channel TV3??? Of course CBB this time last year was going to be higher when it's lost it's entire Irish audience?

Just wondering :)

People who record and watch after are NOT counted in the overnights but counted in the officials, which come out around 8-15 days after. The officials come out usually on a Monday at around 2pm.

Normally for CBB, timeshift adds around 400k, so if you look at all the overnights, add roughly 350-400k to it and then you will have your officials (where catch up is counted).

FYI, CBB11, CBB13 and CBB15 all had very large catch up audiences (around half a million), and they averaged 2.8m, 3.0m and 3.1m officially.

[Will.]

Last night beat CBB13, didn't beat CBB15 - around 280K down.

We'll see. I don't know how much it will add. As of this moment, the average is 2.09m overnight, tonights interview and tomorrows Saturday and 10:30pm slot will ruin it, but hoping it can end up averaging 2.1m overnights for a 2.5m official? That's what I reckon it will add, around 400k.

[Maxxie.]

Idk what I actually think it'll average officially but im hoping high for maybe 3.0 like at least 2.8 cuz it deserves it. CBB13 and 15 got 3.1 so I might be setting my sights a bit high but last night's and tuesday's i think will add up to 3m officially anyway.

22:00 Lip Sync Battle UK: 1.63m (8.6%)
22:30 Celebrity Big Brother: 1.66m (10.6%)

In comparison to last week where 9pm got 1.7m excl +1, Lip Sync got 1.60m and 2nd show got 1.55m excl +1. So it's comfortably up on last week.

With +1 it will be around 2.4m for 9pm show and around 1.8m for both LSB and the 2nd CBB show. SADLY, Digital Spy doesn't release +1 ratings for Fridays on a Saturday, we won't know until Broadcast updates on Monday!

[yourmn]

I've heard CBB wasn't available on Plus 1 last night - don't know if that applies to both shows

[*mazedsalv**]

Yeah just found out!!

I think it was just for the 9pm show due to language. Odd, so that ruins the ratings!

[Jake.]

decent enough figures

[billy123]

Yeah just found out!!

I think it was just for the 9pm show due to language. Odd, so that ruins the ratings!I was wondering about the language last night you might know a bit more. Are they likely to get a rap on the knuckles for launching straight into the F bomb frenzy at 9pm followed by the C word?. I always thought the 9pm watershed was more of a sliding scale than a definite line. They seemed to revel in it last night night even Emma looked a bit taken aback by it.

I agree. I think it's nothing to do with the F word but 100% to do with the C words that were mentioned literally at 9:01pm. That's why the warning said "very offensive language right from the start". You'd think that the normal viewer would be like "Oh OK, they warned us and it is past 9pm so we won't complain".

I think the C word was dropping three times between 9:00-9:10pm so that may have been a problem. But I dont think it should have been taken off on +1, that is pathetic! That's around 200,000 people that missed out because they didn't have +1 available.

[Cal.]

So weird that 4 million viewers separate CBB and EastEnders - CBB doesn't even look bad when you say that.

[Will.]

2.05 without +1

So around 2.3M

[Will.]

Low night for Ch4 and BBC2

Ch4 got 700k

BBC 2 scrapped 1 million.

[Will.]

2.4M including +1 (10%)

[*mazedsalv**]

Channel 5 (inc +1)
15:45 - Cheaper By the Dozen 2: 0.91m (5.8%)
17:30 - George of the Jungle: 1.03m (5.0%)
19:15 - Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls: 0.79m (3.4%)
21:00 - Celebrity Big Brother: 2.37m (10.2%)

Not bad at all, that's exactly the same rating as the Megan meltdown. So the joint 2nd highest HL show of the series.

BARB officials come in later, so we will get the officials from the launch to the 10th Jan.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

15 minutes till officials are released and we can finally judge how well this series is doing.

I wanna see some 3 millions in there but that's gonna be a stretch.

I don't know why they don't add the people watching in Ireland to the ratings? Its the same programme and don't like 300k watch?

[*mazedsalv**]

So here are the officials, in brackets i will put the overnights.

Launch- 3.30m (2.80m)
Wednesday 6th- 2.81m (2.19m)
Thursday 7th- 2.71m (2.04m)
Friday 8th (Part 1)- 2.29m (1.80m) and Friday 8th (Part 2)- 2.32m (1.70m)
Sat 9th- 1.90m (1.46m)
Sun 10th- 2.69m (2.09m)

For the first 6 days, the official average is 2.57m.

Lets bare in mind that this week (opening week) was lower than the week we have just had. Looking at the timeshifts we could see some 2.8m-2.9m officials for the ratings that we have had this week.

Speaking of timeshifts, some very incredible ones here. 670,000 add for the Thursday is phenomenal! Wow at Winston's interview being more than the 9pm show! A lot of ~600,000 type adds which is incredible!

[Jason.]

That launch rating is good and just as I predicted it would be. :clap1:

Winston's eviction is quite low for a January CBB ngl. Especially as he was a quite a controversial housemate. Exactly a million down on CBB15's first eviction where Chloe went and KP entered. I'm pretty sure the evictions in CBB12 (a summer CBB) rated similar/higher. But slay at the 2nd show getting more than the first show. That only ever happened with C4 so that's good.

[billy123]

Looks like it is holding up ok. Im not a fan of what Viacom have brought to the table but their only concern is figures and revenue not the show. They are happy for it to be just another sluts on a beach/dwarfs running wild/elephant headed prostitutes or whatever crap "reality" it is that they show on MTV these days.
The dumbing down is complete.

[Briancbbfan]

This is actually looking alot better than expected... maybe some of this weeks viewings could reach 3 million? Megan's rant got alot of coverage? I'm pleasantly surprised by this:blush:

[Carl Jayson]

But that's why the younger generation, who are the main people who watch it and the target audience, are watching and loving it, I'm hoping they don't change it as a young person. You're in the minority I'm afraid!

[RealityFan]

Where are the rest of this past weeks?

[billy123]

But that's why the younger generation, who are the main people who watch it and the target audience, are watching and loving it, I'm hoping they don't change it as a young person. You're in the minority I'm afraid!The other 5 million people on top of those that watch it now would disagree. :pat:

[Pete.]

Lip Sync Battle did well too

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Timeshifts of almost 700k that's ****ing impressive!

Next weeks officials we all gonna be creaming im telling you lol.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im still confused why the Irish viewers aren't included when 300k are watching it takes most episodes over 3 million.

Why aren't they included because its a different Channel perhaps?

And im sorry but BB5/BB6/BB7 were reminiscent of a period drama?

Nothings changed fgs if anything its tamer!

[Jason.]

Im still confused why the Irish viewers aren't included when 300k are watching it takes most episodes over 3 million.

Probably because Ireland isn't part of the UK, and the ratings are UK ratings so including another countries ratings wouldn't work.

[billy123]

And im sorry but BB5/BB6/BB7 were reminiscent of a period drama?

Nothings changed fgs if anything its tamer!Utter twaddle. It has never been as trashy and scripted as it is now. The whole thing is just being used as a promo for Viacoms other shows.

[Briancbbfan]

Yeah it's a different channel. The channel is called TV3 and they both the rights just last Summer.

[Will.]

2.4M with +1 (10%)

[Carl Jayson]

The other 5 million people on top of those that watch it now would disagree. :pat:

You aren't the target audience your say doesn't really matter? :nono:

[*mazedsalv**]

Utter twaddle. It has never been as trashy and scripted as it is now. The whole thing is just being used as a promo for Viacoms other shows.

Never been as trashy? It was always trashy. Do people forget BB1 and BB2? Mel and Craig basically rubbing their naked bodies in front of our faces? The stripping during BB2 and BB3 and "Follow the van", BB5 naked jacuzzi, Shell running around with her fanny out, naked mud wrestling, sucking of nipples The BB6 orgies that used to take place in BB6, sex in the pool, tounging each other every minute of the day (boy on boy, girl on girl, boy on girl).

Please guys... C5 is CBBC compared to C4.

[Cal.]

I agree with this.

[RichardG]

I haven't been keeping up with the ratings but it looks like it's hovering around 2.4? Is that good? I don't know much about this stuff and whether or not they'd be happy with that. :laugh:

[Mrmattybeck]

Good to see better ratings at last after a slowish start

[Will.]

2.25M excluding +1

Good to see this series is improving.

[Will.]

Second in its slot.

Nobody claimed it was ever high brow but the utter contempt for the audience they display now is far ahead of anything you mentioned. The way they choose the housemates which is now widely accepted as "a cast" with cross promotion of other shows they own even to the extent the tasks they do are based on the show that is on next is trash on another level to what you have described.

The show is now dumbed down so much to suit the trash that watch their other crap that it saddens me.

As for Daniel trying to use downton abbey as a comparison well we all know thats just so daft i wont even bother replying to him he is"target" material.

[*mazedsalv**]

Digital Spy has given up on posting ratings for anything for the last week, so we need to depend on broadcast now.

Broadcast is very reliable but they have their ratings rounded, so to one decimal point but that doesn't matter really! Good news on the ratings front though...

Celebrity Big Brother: 2.5m (11.4%) inc. +1

Highest rated since launch, look at that share! 2nd in it's slot thrashing ITV by 1.2m!

[*mazedsalv**]

Channel 5:
Celebrity Big Brother- 2.1m (9.4%)
10,000 BC Two Tribes- 619,000 (3.9%)

That is TERRIBLE for 10000BC. On positives though, I am pretty sure that the CBB rating is up there with one of the best ever ratings it has gotten against the NTAs. Pretty sure it has always gone sub 2m (well bar last year which i think got 2.3m).

You just did respond to me dumbass.

God why do you even watch the show I think Channel 5 CBB are actually far superior to Channel 4 entertainment wise.

Great rating for last night especially up against the NTA'S.

I think the only way is up from here its got a strong following again.

[Pete.]

Glad it's getting 2 million overnight :love:

[*mazedsalv**]

Last night's ratings: Celebrity Big Brother increased significantly to 2.35m (10.6%) excluding +1, the most watched episode since launch night.

Oh wow! That will be around 2.6m with +1!!!

[Mrmattybeck]

Brilliant rating this series is recovering nicely [emoji4]

[*mazedsalv**]

Celebrity Big Brother- 2.6m (11.6%)
10,000BC- 720,000 (4.6%)

Fantastic for CBB! Highest since launch, just 200k down from launch. 10,000BC still looks bad but it was up over 100k from the opener on Wednesday.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Possibility of a 3.1/3.2 million official there.

I had a feeling this series would grow and its really good to see it doing so well.

[*mazedsalv**]

Yep, considering it was ~700k down from CBB15 in the first few days in comparison to what the same episodes of CBB15 got, it is now getting similar ratings. Just to note that CBB15 on Thursday got a 2.6m three times.

I do however think it will drop after tonight for some reason, i think like CBB15 the series is a few days too long and settle back to the ~2.2m-2.3m range (which will still make it around 2.7-2.8m officially anyway).

It was also 100k away from Jericho on ITV which was hyped so much before it started!

I think it will sustain viewers tbh they are gonna pull out a twist or something soon can just feel it in my waters lol.

Whats with these rumours about Nick Grimshaw going in though?

Random.

[Mrmattybeck]

January seems to do fine it's the summer series of bbuk that seems to suffer

[*mazedsalv**]

January seems to do fine it's the summer series of bbuk that seems to suffer

Agreed. But tbh it was a little worrying at the start of this series. It launched with 2.8m, fell to 2.2m the next day and 2m the next. So to have it back to 2.4-2.6m levels is fantastic.

Word of mouth is still strong promotion!

I think it was the cast reveal before launch that harmed ratings hope they don't do that again :(

[Cal.]

So is this a case of TV viewership decline or what?

It still feels like everybody's watching this series - even though the ratings are down on last year.

yep, the last week has been getting 2.3-6 overnight.

[Jason.]

I'm just updating my overnight ratings table.

[Jason.]

[Will.]

Thank you.

Welcome.

(Ratings in brackets do not include +1)

Good to see this week has averaged the highest in overnights and brought the overall running average back to how it was in the first week.

[Jake.]

1.59 exc +1

for 10:30, that's actually really good.. I bet the share was high

[Mrmattybeck]

That's a great rating for a Saturday especially at 10.30

[Jake.]

21:00 Celebrity Big Brother: 2.44m (10.4%)

Not with plus 1 so that's brilliant

[Will.]

[Will.]

Third Sunday ratings:

CBB11: 2.2M
CBB13: 2.7M

Also around 2pm later, the officials!

[Will.]

Oh yeah forgot it officials today.

[jackc1806]

[Will.]

wow 2.8M - that's the same as launch :shocked:

[*mazedsalv**]

As if last night matched the launch :shocked:

I'm actually speechless.

[Jake.]

Last nights +1 is mental, surely this is a first for channel 5 CBB?

[Crimson Dynamo]

3 mill to come?

[Carl Jayson]

omg @ 3 3mil's in 1 week

[Will.]

The next round of officials should be really good, as we had consistent ratings of 2.3-6 last week.
