** BB18 ratings Thread **

[Greg!]

just cancel next week eviction since sukhi left and send in four new good housemates and promote it, simple.

You just know they won't do this and will instead rock the house to its very core by having special guests Dexter Koh, Jazzi P and Jale take over the house, and evict 6 people in a special week called destruction week.

[RichardG]

It was on for 9pm most nights last year, just a few were at 10pm - and didn’t the 10pm ones have strong catch-up figures?

idk about that people have been blaming the declining ratings year on year on the 10pm slot for a long time now

it''s been a while since civ was regularly at 9pm

[Mrmattybeck]

Doubt it, it was a Friday night and lots of people were out. It'll probs have higher ratings next week if anything



Spot on people said the same last year and it stayed really consistent

Blind Date - 1.8 million
Before they were stars - 700k
Big Brother - 780k

[supertv247]

Blind Date should have been on at 8pm, would've done better because it was probably dented by the weather being on so early plus it would have helped BB (and BB would have helped it)
1.8m is still fantastic though, it almost beat BBC One.

BB was ok considering the weather etc but it really needs to pip 1 million again, soon

[*mazedsalv**]

Only good news is that the ejection def did help, it would have been below 600k without it for sure.

Equivalents (2nd Sats) in the previous 2 series...

BB16- 640k
BB17- 810k
BB18- 788k

Up on two years ago but slightly down on last year.

To note the Sunday's following:

BB16- 901k
BB17- 1.09m

I think even though the hot weather is upon us, that tonight will be up on BB16.
Worth noting that this equivalent week of BB16 is when they hit panic mode and then at the end of the week, 4in4out happened.

I think had the ejection been tonight, would have been 1m+. A lot of talk of it last night.

[Jodie.]

:( at BB16’s 640k, at least this series isn’t doing that bad and OFFICIALS TOMORROW

Should be hitting 1mil tonight, the ejection seems to have been given a lot of talk on Twitter

Yep this was the start of BB16s awful week.

It had created a lot of discussion but with the weather so hot for the next 7 days I honestly don't see it hitting 1m at all this next week.

[Rob!]

148k up on BB16 isn't to be sniffed at and only 22k down on last year isn't that bad in the grand scheme of things.

[supertv247]

The current series average is now 983k :shocked:
It has never been below 1 million before, not even during timebomb

Considering it was adding around 400k+ last year, you should prepare to be ashamed of being negative too early

[supertv247]

Last series added an average of 460k viewers to each episode.
Some episodes even added over 650k..
The officials tomorrow will tell everything. Might not be so bad after all

I can see most eps lately probably being 1.2 - 1.3m maybe? Or am I being too optimistic @mrmattybeck

[supertv247]

The ones that got lower overnights usually add more. Last year's lowest overnight was 750k on a Saturday and it added 650k to get 1.4 million. I think the ones around 900k could get to 1.4m easily. We'll see soon!

still not good ratings but it's not that bad but the ratings went awful week 2. so it will be interesting to see those officials

[supertv247]

Not too bad, not the lowest ever but not quite on par with the usual 1.6m

If anyone is interested, love island is averaging 1.96m (it got over 2 million a few times...)

[supertv247]

The overnight average is 0.98m vs the official 1.48m which means it's adding an average 0.5 million. That's more than its ever done before

[LukeB]

Just seen.

Li is getting ratings that BB should be getting. So after seeing BB beating Li for 3 days turns out Li has higher officials than BB on those 3 days they were losing. Li has been winning the ratings war from day 1?

[Vladimir]

The officials aren't bad tbf.

[Jason.]

LI's first week averaged 1.96m including +1

Mon - 1.94m
Tue - 1.78m
Wed - 1.97m
Thur - 2.07m
Fri - 2.03m

And I think the first LI eviction rated higher than any BB eviction since Hazel's in BB14 :/

[Jodie.]

As was said before, the lower overnights usually have higher catchup numbers so I’ve still got hope for the next set of officials

[Jodie.]

There’s no point comparing BB to LI, ones been one for 17 years while rn he other one has been on for 3. Compare it to BB16 & BB17

Compared to BB16 & 17 it's bang in the middle right now. The former averaged 1.4 and latter 1.6m. We're currently at 1.5m officially, but overnight it's the lowest ever, even lower than 16 - but it seems that's just because people are choosing to watch on record rather than live, unlike BB16 where people were just choosing not to watch at all

Good point.. But not many people watch the final on catchup (same as launch) as they know what happens so not sure

[supertv247]

Here are all the official figures so far, with the overnight in brackets then what it added each time..

Mon - 1.57 (1.32) +250k
Tue - 1.50 (1.00) +500k
Wed - 1.53 (1.01) +525k
Thur - 1.59 (1.10) +490k
Frid - 1.42 (1.00) +420k
Sat - 1.29 (0.83) +460k
Sun - 1.44 (1.01) +435k

[Jake.]

The 500+ added on by officials is pretty outstanding

[BB-Germany]

These ratings really calm me down a bit.

So basically this series is having the same core audience as every other series those last few years. Give or take 100k, 1,3-1,5 million is what civilian BB gets nowadays.

As for LI, I'm planning on catching up on it since i haven't seen anything of it and I really want to know if it's worth the praise.

Exactly, the core audience of around 1.5-1.6m that 4/6 Channel 5 series have averaged is still there.

I think tomorrow it might finally climb back over 1 million because of the new housemates.. Could tonight but nothing special is happening. Thursday will be interesting as an eviction during the week should rate well but it clashes with love island..

That's shocked me.

The later slot gave the show the highest share of the series. It was almost double Sunday's share and was up in ratings too.

You know what's weird? Last time they had a 'crisis' it took them less than a few days to hit the panic button and do 4 in 4 out. This time, the ratings and reaction is a LOT worse but they've not quite panicked yet. Everything seems to have been planned so far.
I don't know if I respect them for this, as it maybe shows they listened to how much we hated 4 in 4 out, or if they're just being stupid :laugh: but honestly they do really need to do something now

It's like last time they didn't give it enough time to progress, they just panicked, but this time they've waited too long and it's not going back.

It's worth noting that typically BB and CBB get consistent ratings every night over several weeks. A fair few C5 shows perform higher but these are either one off special shows, or short series.

Not to praise BB's ratings in any way however, it has lost its ways the past few series, but is a good puller for a consistent audience.

It is nowhere near as good as last year. It's all over the place. The cast are messy, can't even carry the series, and are mostly reality TV wannabes. There's no actual diversity or anyone I particularly like

[BB-Germany]

The cast can't carry the series? The cast has done nothing less. They didn't have to interfere at all. Apart from the three celebs and they weren't even needed.

This series is great I hope officials continue to be great so it rates okish in the end.

It depends. The fact overnights have gone down from week one could either mean less people are watching overall, or more people are watching on demand. The first Saturday that got 700k added 600k so it could be a case of every episode now doing that, which would mean around 1.4-1.5 million
(I am being very optimistic lol)

It won't be 1.4/1.5 it will most likely be 1.1-1.3.

The overnight average is 0.95 million. BB17 and BB18, so far, have averaged 550k in consolidated figures. That would take the official average to 1.5m. I definitely think it will be around 1.4

BB and definitely CBB almost always out rate Channel 4. There's some exceptions like Gogglebox and The Island, but that's about it, and they rarely air at the same time. CBB even rated higher than The Jump which is supposed to be one of their flagship shows these days

[*mazedsalv**]

BB- 890,000
LI- 1.45m

Civilian BB can say bye to hitting a million again. I mean it could be worse, w could be C4 with Host The Week..... 460,000. CHUFFIN HELL.

LI killing it again, understandable. Great casting.

FYI one episode of LI consolidated to get 2.08m, highest ITV2 rating of the year. Highest rating of 2016 for ITV2 was 2.12 for Celeb Juice. That will be beaten by LI I'm guessing so LI is looking to be the highest rated show in at least 2 years.

At this rate, I really wouldn't rule out 1.8m+ for the final and around 2.4m officially. Is this series the BB3 of ITV2? Peak year?

To sum up, the highest EVER ITV2 rating was an episode of Celebrity Juice which got 3.12m in Oct 2011.

Apart from the monsterous CBB8 launch rating which was the first ever C5 BB broadcast, interesting to see the other ratings. For example, bar that launch, the highest ever rating on any BB on 5 was the CBB11 launch and then CBB13 final. And outside of launch/finales, the highest ever rating was Lee Ryan's eviction which got 3.63m.

Best retention... well CBB13 obviously as was the first series since BB7 which had a higher final. bb17 had a very good retention compared to all of them especially BB13, 15 and 16!

13 had a pretty awful retention.

[Jodie.]

You seem good at predicting ratings Salv. What do you think BB18 will officially average?

Tonight at 10:30pm....

I mean, should we care about it flopping? They don't.

Tonight at 10:30pm....

Tbf it did about the same last week at half ten. Mind you, is tonight going to get a Saturday rating because "nothing happens the night after an eviction?"

[*mazedsalv**]

It's going to get a Sat rating anyway because a) the series is low rated anyway and b) it's on late.

690k imo.

[supertv247]

Tonight could be bad. Even evictions at 9pm don't get people to watch these days because they're all out. It'll be just like a Saturday - Mondays late episode wasn't that bad because it was a weeknight

[supertv247]

Well, lets take a look through C5 BB History. Here are all the launch official ratings + official final ratings of every series on 5. Please discuss.. why do you think certain series did so fantastically and why some didn't. Better quality? Less competition etc...So here we go.

I think the most impressive ratings here are the CBB13 Final which wasn't so lnog ago, the BB13 launch and the retention of BB17. I also love how the second launch night of BB14 outraged the first!

I am wondering, if this series picks up and has say a week or so post love island, could the final end up outrating the launch? That would be impressive. Although the overnights have been bad, they've been very consistent, and so have the official numbers.

[Samm]

CBB's popularity peaked with CBB13 tbh, I rememberer it was talked about everywhere

[Oaker]

wow CBB19 kinda flopped, I don't remember it being that low :worry:

Its launch almost got lower than CBB18 omg :skull:

This is how I measure a truly, truly good series - but if it’s consistent then yes I think it’s definitley possible

[Jason.]

I forget that BB13's launch almost had 3m viewers. A surprising figure actually.

[Jake.]

I said before that in recent series the overnight launch rating seems to match the official average for the series and I think this series will follow that trend

[*mazedsalv**]

Awful rating last night as expected for the late slot (not that it would have even hit 900k even if it wasn't)

Big Brother- 770,000
Love Island- 1.39m

The only way that could save this series is if the officials are DOUBLING the overnights. Even if it adds around 500k like the first week was, it'll only reach 1.3m, lower than BB16!

[supertv247]

Is that the lowest rating of the series? I can't remember.

The first Saturday got 840k and added 460k to make 1.3 million so you're right there, these bad figures will bring the rest down :(

Yep I think so.

The show will be 800k-900k and we need to accept that. I'm on holiday on Weds onwards for a few days but will follow the ratings most likely.

An episode of BB18 has already out rated launch (the 4th day, the Thursday) got 1.59m, 20k higher.

Don't think it will happen again, the show would have to have an overnight of 1.2m to do that.

[*mazedsalv**]

wow CBB19 kinda flopped, I don't remember it being that low :worry:

It didn't really flop, it launched fairly low for a winter CBB but it held on very, very well.

I agree that CBB13 was C5 peak even though in general the CBB15 average was slightly higher. CBB13 increased throughout really whereas 15 decreased in the last 2 weeks. Last 2 weeks of CBB13 and first 2 weeks of CBB15 were the 4 most high rated weeks ever on C5.

Iirc, the last week of 15 flopped because they messed about with a fake Perez walkout and then had his eviction air 8-10pm or something and the special 8-9pm episode rated terribly, bringing the average down quite noticeably. You're right about CBB19 being very consistent though, one of the most consistent series we've had - but it was lower than a January series should be (thanks to Bear)

[Jodie.]

So does anyone know last nights rating?

[Rob!]

Ratings are delayed apparently. Obviously it got 5m and Betty from BARB has fainted with shock

[Vladimir]

It deserves SO much more :(

[Mullens123]

This season is easily better than most of the recent ones... but the producers screwed around so much that people won't bother tuning back in, and I don't blame them. The biggest shock of all is that so far we haven't had a dramatic season ruining twist to try and bring in views.

[pontyboi]

It deserves far better but BB15 and BB16 really did turn a lot of viewers off the show. Theres rarely been a dull day this year and the housemates keep delivering....even Isabelle who I thought I would dislike has proven she's an awesome housemate.

Let's not forget the 3 celeb housemates entering for absolutley no reason.....that's when viewers turned off. Apart from that it's been a good series and it's only week 3!

[Jodie.]

If tonight doesn't top 1 million, it'll be a full 2 week run below it.

I genuinely think producers are thinking: “****** it, lets just try and make this series a good one” which, if true, I congratulate them on.

I also think Emma may have something to with it (she was obviously impressed with BB17) so I think she’s said that they should carry on the success of BB17 and bless her for making the producers see sense <3

RIGHT. This is actually sad because this series is good. They need to have next year's BB straight after the January celeb series, and put the summer CBB at the same time as Love Island. I want Love Island DEAD. It's trash sorry.

[LukeB]

Camila from love island would get the ratings up :pipe:

[Jarrod]

Jarrod, what are the love island officials?

Fantastic. These are the ones for the same week.

Monday - 2.03 Million
Tuesday - 2.27 Million
Wednesday - 2.32 Million
Thursday - 2.24 Million
Friday - 2.13 million
Saturday - 643k (The Hot List)
Sunday - 2.20 Million
Sunday - 753k (Aftersun)

Sad thing is, they're even better than summer CBB ratings.

[Jamesy]

They need to do a BB14, 9pm show with 1 hour nightly live feed.

For this series its too little too late now, the series will continue to stay steady with the numbers we've seen the past few weeks. I wouldn't expect anything to draw in more/new viewers after the show has been on for weeks.

So 3 episodes of love island beat bb by exactly a million... yikes

[supertv247]

Here are the full series ratings so far, with overnights in brackets and what each episode has added.

1.57 (1.32) +250k
1.50 (1.00) +500k

1.25 (930k) +320k
1.16 (780k) +380k
1.24 (887k) +343k

As the overnights have gone down, so have the catch-up figures..

[Rob!]

Believe it or not though, it's still beating BB16. Just. It won't last though because the ratings went up after the 4in 4out twist.

[supertv247]

Yeah to be fair, timebomb only had 3 days below 1 million and then it got better after 4in4out - for this series still to be edging it after a full week sub 1 million is okay

[pontyboi]

Ahh that's sad to see I think this is a really enjoyable series.

[Rob!]

Ahh that's sad to see I think this is a really enjoyable series.

Same, I think this is an incredibly underrated series.

[*mazedsalv**]

So bad. Saying it's above BB16 is not s good thing. It won't be next week and by the end of the series it'll be Im guessing 300k down on it and half a million down on last year.

You can't even defend the officials sadly.

NOTHING will help it.

[Samm]

sad thing is love island is even worse then BB, I can't stand seeing it everywhere

[Jason.]

I'm more offended this year's LI is beating last year's as it was way better.

[pontyboi]

How to s Ex On The Beach doing?

[Greg!]

I'm more offended this year's LI is beating last year's as it was way better.

I just can't get into it this year. Sick of all my pals talking about it. I've had practically NO ONE to share my love of Suk, Channers and Issy with :( (apart from on here obvs)

[supertv247]

Yeah it's really bugging me how underrated this series of BB is, and how over rated love island is. Last year was MUCH better :laugh:

[Jodie.]

TBH I wouldn’t mind them doing a big twist, as long as they execute it decently

[supertv247]

TBH I wouldn’t mind them doing a big twist, as long as they execute it decently

I don't think anything will save this series. They can try keep it stable, maybe build it a little and keep it at timebomb levels but other than that it's only going to get worse

[Jason.]

Yeah they need to stop the desperate gimmicks to try and increase ratings. They're not going to work so I'd rather they left the series alone to play out naturally. The former is the reason why BB16 was turned to **** and bringing the VIPs in this series did nothing apart from ruin the entire second week.

They haven’t pulled any gimmicks in this last week, it’s all been natural but yeah, after the VIP’s I think the damage was done to the ratings

[armand.kay]

Sorry Love Island Deserves he ratings for not having trash producers C5 have brought this on themselves. Even now they're probably thinking of gimmicks to draw in viewers that will probably drive people away.

http://favoritememes.com/_nw/97/83630327.jpg

[armand.kay]

Love Island literally have little idents with the cast members in it that they play between shows during the afternoon. Had last night happened on love Island they would of promoted the **** out of it, they really thought that a clip on their twitter and fbook was enough?

[sampvt]

they killed it with the 2 bedrooms and the crap celebs. they orchestrated drama themselves and now its imploding. Shows like last night only appeal to the minority of blood thirsty viewers and those that just like to see violence. Sorry but id rather see fun and games and the odd feud being played out over time. We are being force fed drama and its pathetic. Plus the vte needs to be left in force and let us get idiots like lotan and hannah out before they infect the show.

[supertv247]

Tonight's love island has been extended 20 minutes for the biggest twist ever

They just execute everything so well that it annoys me more, having it to compare BB to

[pontyboi]

love Island have the promotion nailed and it's so simple.

Just show snippets from tonight's upcoming episode during ad breaks....I suppose it's easier for them as its free advertising as they can show it on ITV during any show BUT remember when CBB11 had these promos on prime time ITV shows now they can't even be arsed to promote it on their own Channel. Heads need to roll for this piss poor attempt at promotion it's laughable.

What a childish attitude noones pissed off at love island getting better ratings we are simply stating its getting better ratings because it's production and marketing team have pulled out all the stops to get it the ratings and we feel let down by channel 5 for being so lazy with their recent advertising or lack of....ffs its 2017 we can like both shows. This is about ratings not petty which show is better arguments even Caroline Flacke said she hated the rivalry between the 2 shows.

[HBIC]

The promotion this year was abysmal.

Look at CBB13 and CBB15 - they pulled in an average of 3.1 million viewers and they were both heavily promoted. What other show on Channel 5 cracks 3 million a night? They really need to go all out when promoting the next CBB, especially the winter one which is the blockbuster of the franchise. I think the interest in regular BB just isn't there anymore but CBB could survive a long time if treated right.

[Greg!]

I just read an article on DS from a couple of days ago about BB. It was moslty slating it and suggesting it should be axed, but there was an interesting quote from a Channel 5 spokesman "the series is now in the later slot of 10pm, as opposed to the traditional 9pm airtime, and the average ratings at this later time have increased by 25 per cent".
It sounds like spin and I doubt they're happy with the ratings but it could explain why they've not pulled any desperate stunts.

[Rob!]

Do the officials include the on demand figures?

[*mazedsalv**]

0.86m exc +1.

Surprising to see it higher than night before excl +1 that figure is only 30k under the previous episodes +1 so it does seem it beat Sunday unless it adds less than 40k on +1

[Jason.]

I think because the fight was only made known a few hours before the show aired so it wasn't really enough time for people to be aware of it and tune in, as a result, whereas more people would've known about it by last night, so they tuned in to the aftermath.

Yes. In terms of overnights Daley's actual ejection clip was shown on the same day as the event and got 1.69m. The next day where the HMs find out he was removed got 1.77m.

Wow can't believe how well BB14 did!

[Rob!]

A million more people were watching overnight. A million viewers in just four years. That's going some channel 5.

Don't know where your numbers were from. It actually got a very poor: 884k (6.1%)

So LESS than the night before. It added an awful 24k on +1.

I personally find it disappointing a show I watch and have loved from day is failing in the ratings. I don't get so called fans of the show laughing at its demise.

[Rob!]

So it's now been under a million for two weeks straight

Apologies for misreading that 950k was the rating on DS, it was actually what someone predicted. My fault for being in a hurry :laugh: not good at all then

This series deserves much higher ratings imo, atleast C5 know/think it’s the 10pm start that’s damaging it, so they won’t pull any desperate stunts

Regarding the statement saying C5 know it's the 10 start that give it lower rating - that's what they want, so I don't expect them to try and boost it later / next year at 9pm, if they're happy with that rating at 10 then they'll keep it there. Frow even said he wanted it at 11pm before...

True, they did say they wanted the spotlight taken off BB

But I’m not bothered bc I’m really enjoying this series x
