Big Brother 17 Ratings Thread

[crazycolaist]

Hopefully Viacom will look at why LI suceeded and won the ratings war.

[MB.]

It didn't, though

[LukeB]

It didn't, though

well it kind of did. Love island beat big brother most times..

[Samm]

I think it only beat BB in the ratings around five times, they shouldn't look to LI because it's even worse then BB it's only successful because it's a fresh new show

[MB.]

It beat BB on the odd occasion but BB is still well ahead in the averages

[LukeB]

I think it only beat BB in the ratings around five times, they shouldn't look to LI because it's even worse then BB it's only successful because it's a fresh new show

It didn't do well in ratings last year after they brought it back but it's successful because it was an amazing season this year and itv promoted the show.

[Cal.]

LI was hardly amazing television it was just something to watch. BB17 has been better to watch.

[LukeB]

LI was hardly amazing television it was just something to watch. BB17 has been better to watch.

probably last years but the show is well produced and this season has been amazing imo and it's been praised by the public as well hence why the ratings went up by loads that they hit 1 million(they didn't even reach that last year). BB17 has been good too reason why it's beating last years season in ratings.

[Jack_]

Love Island produced a great series last year that was far better than BB16 and this year's was even better and they went all out on the promotion - the only reason it's on par with BB17 in terms of quality is because Big Brother's been good this year too.

But Love Island does Big Brother better than Big Brother does Big Brother

[Will.]

How did LI beat it in the ratings war.

LI beat BB like 5 times.

whilst BB beat it 30 times.

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother had 1.36m (8.0%) including +1 last night.

It had a 33% 16-34 skew. Up on the standard 26-28% skew it was getting prior to Love Island ending.

Tonight? Another 1.4m?

[Jake.]

Big Brother: 1.27m (6.9%) excluding +1

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother: 1.27m (6.9%) excluding +1

That looks to be the 3rd consecutive 1.4m then with +1. Doing very well this week! Seems to me that this week has captured the public's attention. :clap1:

[*mazedsalv**]

Also interesting week by week averages throughout the series:

Week 1- 1.33m
Week 2- 1.16m
Week 3- 1.06m
Week 4- 1.02m
Week 5- 957k
Week 6 so far- 1.24m (assuming last night got 1.4m)

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother: 1.4m (7.6%) incl +1.

Third consecutive 1.4m rating :clap2:

[Rob!]

Why is it ending so soon

[Jake.]

So this is close to Frow's "magic number", then

[crazycolaist]

I'm saying LI won the ratings war because during the end it was a consistent rating beating big brother. Snm

[*mazedsalv**]

Here's the updated table:

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bb17/ratings/overnight

And the official table (which is obviously 2 weeks behind), this last week in terms of officials should be impressive 1.7m+

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bb17/ratings/official

[Jake.]

C5 (exc. +1)
Big Brother: the Evictions: 1.07m (5.8%)

[lewis111]

Oh that's a bit of a drop :/ weird how the eviction was one of the lowest ratings of the week

[*mazedsalv**]

Odd... that'll be around 1.2m incl +1.

I knew it would be a bit down as I reckon that Celebrity First Dates shares some sort of audience with it.

Tbh next week I see it going back down to 1.1-1.2m anyway.

[supertv247]

I actually think it's only down slightly because it's a Friday. Fridays are starting to follow Saturday and are usually the second lowest rated episode of the week now. It's been that case for the last few series of BB/CBB because the younger audience is out, especially this week when the 16-25 demo was up a good 30% from love island viewers hoping over, wouldn't have been up that much last night as it was a Friday night. Nothing to worry about

I'm pretty sure Saturday has out rated Friday twice this series in consolidated ratings actually

[crazycolaist]

It was a decent Friday for weather that's why.

[*mazedsalv**]

Round up on last couple of ratings with +1:

Friday- 1.2m
Saturday- 870k

Broadcast hadn't posted last night's number but looks to be at around 1.1m including +1 judging by its excl +1 rating.

[MB.]

On the plus side: no more Love Island

[*mazedsalv**]

BARB Officials are IN


As always all include +1, in brackets is what it got as an overnight.

Monday- 1.67m (1.18m)
Tuesday- 1.59m (1.17m)
Weds- 1.63m (1.12m)
Thursday- 1.56m (1.10m)
Friday- 1.55m (1.10m)
Saturday- 1.62m (1.12m) :shocked:
Sunday- 1.42m (1.00m)

Week average- 1.58m 80k up on previous week.

My God that Saturday rating! Is that then highest ever for civilian BB?

Official average so far- 1.56m

[Rob!]

Wow :amazed:

I don't understand this new trend of Friday's doing worse than Saturday's though.

Not 1.62m being the highest ever when Saturdays used to get like 3m a decade ago :laugh:

I think BB12 and BB14's first Saturdays got higher as did Week 4 Saturday in BB14.

[*mazedsalv**]

I was talking about C5 BB :p

[Rob!]

I think it's fairly safe to say that, against the odds, this series has actually done remarkably well.

[Oaker]

So how is this series doing compared to other C5 BB's?

[Jake.]

So how is this series doing compared to other C5 BB's?

Averaging the same as Power Trip I believe (I think that averaged 1.55 officially)

[*mazedsalv**]

So how is this series doing compared to other C5 BB's?

Well at lowest last year's BB16 got 1.36m.

It's on par with 12,13,15. The next 2 weeks officials roll determine whether it gets 1.5m it 1.6m.

[Samm]

I'm glad BB16 is staying as the lowest rated series ever

[supertv247]

What's really impressive is that 200k out of 220k new viewers are all watching on catchup. In just a year, the way we watch has changed a lot!

And most nights getting near 500k in consolidation is incredible. That was incredible for CBB just this year so this is really good!

If it stays at that in next week's officials, most nights were 1.4m last week so that's 1.9m we could be looking at!

[*mazedsalv**]

1.11m excl +1 last night so 1.2m incl +1 it seems.

Better than i thought to be fair with the hot weather. 1.2m seems to be the norm (and as long as that translates to ~1.6m official like it should, the series should be averaging that.

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother: 1.2m (6.9%) incl +1

Seems stuck at 1.2m, which is good considering that should be 1.6m+ officials.

The official average as of the last officials update was 1.555m. So, with Annihilation week ratings to be released next Monday, it should bring it up to ~1.8m for 3 days, and that would bung the average up closer to a healthier 1.6, maybe 1.60m? Then if we continue getting 1.2m overnights, which will equate to over 1.6m officials, we should be on par with BB12, BB13 and BB15 at 1.6m officials lets hope!!

Right now 1.555m is too close to 1.5m.

[Jason.]

BB12 got 1.55m average and BB15 got 1.57m.

[Oaker]

I'm shocked that 15 had more viewers than 12 since it was C5's first series

[*mazedsalv**]

BB12 got 1.55m average and BB15 got 1.57m.

Thanks. I hope that we can get past 1.57m then, it deserves to be higher than both them series!

So looking online:

BB12- 1.55m
BB13- 1.60m
BB14- 1.90m
BB15- 1.57m
BB15- 1.36m

How awesome would it be if Annihilation week which should get 1.7-1.8m and the next week can get 1.2-1.3m nightly to get 1.6m+ can have it hit over 1.60m?

I doubt it though, i feel it will average 1.56m.

[Jason.]

BB13 also got 1.63m (if you want to be specific)

If only it got a bit more and hit 1.7m tho </3

[Jason.]

I'm shocked that 15 had more viewers than 12 since it was C5's first series

You need to also take into account that BB12 didn't have C5+1 when it aired whereas BB15 did and it still got almost the same amount of viewers.

Without +1 BB15 would've averaged lower than BB12 so BB12 didn't do too bad to get 1.55m without +1.

[Jason.]

Thanks. I hope that we can get past 1.57m then, it deserves to be higher than both them series!

So looking online:

BB12- 1.55m
BB13- 1.60m

How awesome would it be if Annihilation week which should get 1.7-1.8m and the next week can get 1.2-1.3m nightly to get 1.6m+ can have it hit over 1.60m?

I doubt it though, i feel it will average 1.56m.

I agree.

I'm just glad it's gone back to getting around 1.6m (that's a safe rating for C5 BB - it's like what 4.6m was to C4) as opposed to last year when it was scarily low in the 1.3m region.

BB17 has done really well given we all expected it to drop even further after BB16 :laugh:

[*mazedsalv**]

BB13 also got 1.63m (if you want to be specific)

If only it got a bit more and hit 1.7m tho </3

Oh really, WIki said 1.60m.

[Oaker]

I just realized BB14 got the same average as CBB16 :worry:

Axe Summer CBB!

[Jason.]

Oh really, WIki said 1.60m.

That's what I thought too but then when you calculate the average of all the weekly averages it gives you 1.627m as opposed to 1.60m.

[Cal.]

Hope this series beats 12 and 15

[Lucas_Patton]

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, think it deserved an extra week though. Official ratings have stayed consistent, even Saturday's. It should average out at 1.6 which is promising for it being recommissioned in the upcoming years. The eviction set obviously needs enlarging, not enough atmosphere with the crowd numbers. If they want the overnight numbers then next year they'll have to consider avoiding Love Island, simple. Worked well in the 10pm slot. It's amazing how nearly a third of viewers are using catchup services! I'm hoping CBB averages 2.0m+

[Jake.]

C5 (exc. +1)
Big Brother: 1.07m (6.8%)

[Jordan.]

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8xkprHUgb1rnpqa7.gif

Really? ~1.2m incl +1 is what its been getting usually.

[crazycolaist]

I reckon CBB will add 400k to the 1.2mil mark. (So like 1.6m overnight) hopefully.

[*mazedsalv**]

C5 (exc. +1)
Big Brother: 1.23m (7.7%)

Very nice increase, that's 1.3m for sure with +1.

[Pete.]

A stable series :clap1:

[billy123]

From DS (I presume its without +1 it doesnt say)

Big Brother - 710k

[*mazedsalv**]

From DS (I presume its without +1 it doesnt say)

Big Brother - 710k

Yes it would be excl.

Don't know why they moved it back to 9pm on Saturdays, it was doing ~900-1m at 10pm up until a couple weeks ago.

[johne]

Don't know why they moved it back to 9pm on Saturdays, it was doing ~900-1m at 10pm up until a couple weeks ago.

Don't know why they have to mess around with 9pm some days and 10pm others. It must play hell with the ratings. I could see some missing a show and not bothering to come back, so the ratings loss cascades right through the series.

[crazycolaist]

Ouch

[Jake.]

Big Brother: 1.08m (5.4%) exc +1

[*mazedsalv**]

1.2m incl +1 for last night.

Seems to be the average rating right now, as long as it's ~1.2m that would mean 1.6m+ officials which would bring it to the standard series average of C5 BB.

[Jason.]

Officials are in!

Mon 11th - 1.68m
Tue 12th - 1.77m
Wed 13th - 1.78m
Thur 14th - 1.80m
Fri 15th - 1.58m
Sat 16th - 1.29m
Sun 17th - 1.54m

The weekly average (which takes into account the previous week's Sat and Sun rating) is 1.67m - the highest since Week 1.

Safe to say Annihilation did bring up the ratings a fair bit.

The series is now averaging 1.58m which is higher than BB12 and BB15. :clap1:

Funnily enough the Monday episode (also the same night of the LI final) both got almost the same rating. BB got 1.68m and LI got 1.69m.

It's averaging 1.57m by the way as Wiki had 1.58m up until the Friday on the table, the lower Sat and Sunday made it 1.57m.

Week average: 1.634m. Highest since Week 1.

Series average so far: 1.57m

Yeah that's what I meant.

The weekend ratings which were released today are for Week 7 whereas the weekend ratings which were released last week (1.62m for Sat and 1.42m for Sun) were for Week 6 alongside the Mon-Fri figures released today. So the weekly average for Week 6 is 1.67m.

[Rob!]

A 1.8m :flutter:

[supertv247]

FOUR out of seven of last weeks ratings are higher than ANY rating from last year except launch. Incredible! The only annoying thing is the Saturday is the lowest of the series (but still up on last year)

[Jake.]

it got 1.20 last night exc +1

[Rob!]

1.4 tonight?

[*mazedsalv**]

Big Brother: Live Final: 1.42m (8.1%) excluding +1

So around 1.5m incl +1 I'm guessing, not bad at all especially as it launched with 1.6m.

Last 3 finals:

BB15- 1.60m
BB16- 1.28m
BB17- ~1.5m

At least it's comfortably up on last year.

flop

[*mazedsalv**]

Inc +1:
Big Brother Final: 1.50m (8.6%)
Bit On The Side: 664k (7.5%)

Good rating! In fact, could that beat the launch in officials which got 1.86m? Potentially! (even though finals rarely add a lot).

[Vanessa]

Good ratings. I expect CBB to do better, because they have celebs. Hoping for a great line up :hee:

[supertv247]

1.5 million brings it up on last years final by 220k and is also the highest overnight since launch! If it adds as much in the official ratings as every other episode this series, it looks likely to be the highest rating of the series!

[Rob!]

That's a relief that it's nowhere near last year's awful final rating

[Rob!]

I'm glad this series has done well in the end. It really deserves it.

[Jason.]

If the final beats the launch in the officials that will be the first time the final has outrated the launch since BB7, ten years ago. :clap2:

[Rob!]

If the final beats the launch in the officials that will be the first time the final has outrated the launch since BB7, way back in 2006. :clap2:

I thought BB14 did that but never mind.

[Jason.]

I thought BB14 did that but never mind.

Didn't BB14's launch get 2.35m and its final get 2.20m?

CBB13 did that, but BB17 will be the first civilian series since BB7.

[*mazedsalv**]

Yep.

Would be the first time since BB7 for a civilian series. I'm hoping, but finals never really add more than 200k tbh so we are probably more looking at 1.7m.

CBB13 final outrated CBB13 launch though with 3.71m vs 3.69m.

[Cal.]

I doubt it will beat it. Finals aren't an event anymore and the winners are very rarely relevant.

[*mazedsalv**]

Just to note, the last 2 officials for the FINAL were...

BB15 final- 1.76m
BB16 final- 1.37m exc +1 (most likely 1.4m including)

Last year did dreadfully. This year looks to be between 1.7-1.8m. I wonder if it will beat BB15s 1.76m. It's certainly doable.

[Cal.]

BB15 had a mouthy bitch (queen) winning over the sweet girl she'd 'bullied' all series though so people were more likely to catch up on that final than they would with this one. I know Hughie was expected to win but Jason winning wasn't really as much of a shock as Helen.

[supertv247]

The final week of officials are in (the last two episodes including the final aren't until next week, however)
Overnights are in brackets

M - 1.62m (1.20) +420k
T - 1.69m (1.20) +490k
W - 1.56m (1.20) +360k
T - 1.80m (1.35) +450k
F - 1.42m (1.10) +310k
S - 1.20m (820k) +380k
S - 1.67m (1.20) +470k

Avg - 1.57m

Those time shifts of nearly 500k are Incredible!
If the final highlights (1.3m) does anything near that, say 400k then that'll be 1.7m which will bring the official average up with the final (I predict around 1.7-8m) rating to hopefully 1.58-1.6m which would make it higher than Powertrip.

[*mazedsalv**]

Wow thanks

That's a huge rating for Sponge gate haha.

I see that your tweet got a reply from Jayne saying 'haha how funny' :joker:

Legend.

We are SO close to beating BB15! It's already beaten 12 and 16!

[Cal.]

If this series doesn't beat BB15 I'll be fumed.

[Rob!]

:clap1:

[*mazedsalv**]

If this series doesn't beat BB15 I'll be fumed.

Don't think it will to be fair. It will be equal at 1.57m with it. But we will put it ahead anyway because it's far, far, far superior in every way possible.

Which is just a TV tragedy.

[Jason.]

Whether it beats BB15 or not, it'll still average the same when rounded (1.6m) and I'm happy with that because instead of decreasing further from BB16 like we all thought 3 months ago, it's climbed back to 1.6m - which is decent for C5.

[azi]

True.

Either way the 1.6m will be what is mentioned when future series come on.

1.6m, 1.6m, 1.9m, 1.6m, 1.4m, 1.6m.

[supertv247]

BBSpy claims that BB17 has fell behind Powertrip by about 7,000 viewers. So when the final and semi final ratings are added on that'll both definitely be over 1.6m I'm positively sure that this series will overtake Powertrip :laugh:
But yeah it'll be 1.6 no matter what now :blush:

[Samm]

oh wow this series did that, C5 stays stupid for ending it early

[Mrmattybeck]

However as of now, BB17 was so much more superior than CBB. BB17 deserved better numbers and be up there with BB14.

[*mazedsalv**]

Last 2 officials:

Monday- 1.69m
Final- 1.79m

Only 70k down on launch which got 1.86m.

Beat BB16 final which got 1.37m. BB15 final got 1.73m, so beat that too!! :)

I don't know how that works out with the official average and whether it stays at 1.57m or not.

[Rob!]

Fully deserved :clap1:

[*mazedsalv**]

Just worked it out via calculator....

BB17 officially averaged 1.58M.

This puts it AHEAD of BB15, JUST. :dance:

BB12- 1.55m
BB13- 1.60m
BB14- 1.90m
BB15- 1.57m
BB16- 1.36m

BB17- 1.58m

[Will.]

Looking back BB17 was such a brilliant series, some great housemates and so much happened from the house flooding to annihilation week.

And annihilation week was good, I loved the eviction chamber.

I think it's my favourite Channel 5 series that I've watched, I have only seen bits of BB13.

There were less twists and it overall was enjoyable to watch, I'm glad it ended on a high rather than having another 3 weeks and going stale.

I'm started to miss BB17 <3 :(

It deserved the good ratings it got.

[azi]

Well deserved :clap1:

[Samm]

Deserved!

[Jake.]

Well deserved

[Cal.]

:clap1:

[callumbb]

So glad it got the good ratings it truly deserves :love:

[Jason.]

3rd highest C5 series behind BB14 and BB13. :clap1:

It's done well and it's definitely restored some faith back into the show that BB15/16 lost.

[Glenn-C]

Well deserved :clap1:

Hopefully next year is even higher

[Samm]

So weird how it's like 1.5/1.6 then BB14 with 1.9

[Vanessa]

The Bear Show is doing well :clap1:

[lewis111]

This is getting ridiculous

Big Brother: 1.01m
Love Island: 1.04m

BB got 1.1m +1 but this is severely getting on my tits.

Mess we thought 0.03m difference was ridiculous just a year ago
