How come BB3 is classed as the highest rated final?

[Cal.]

When the BB2 ratings table has the final rating as 13.7 million compared to BB3's 10 million?

I think that's a mistake for BB2.

I'm sure BB3's final is the most watched C4 programme in the 21st century.

Is it on wiki? Definately a mistake - the BB3 final had over 50% shares and is the peak audience for BB ever.

Oop yeah it was on the wiki ratings table that I saw the 13 million. I did think it could be a mistake but it said the ratings were all taken from BARB and I don't know why people would be fiddling around with ratings for 15 years ago/there'd still be mistakes from a show that aired 15 years ago but I guess it was a mistake.
