** BB18 ratings Thread **

[*mazedsalv**]

I'm off on holiday tomorrow but I'll be following the forums online!

[BB-Germany]

Honestly, if it's on later of course the total numbers will be lower. But if the share is good, that might be more important to them.
People should take the share into consideration much more nowadays anyway.

I don't know about the shares though. Is it good and how is it fairing in comparison to the last few series?

[HBIC]

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!
BB14 did really well, averaging 1.9m. That's like double what the show gets now. Also I think the 1.9 million doesn't actually include the +1 figure for all the episodes since some of them were missing, so the actual average might have been 2.0-2.1m and we'll never know.

edit: nvm, the 1.9m includes +1. Still pretty good for Channel 5 though.

I think really poor scheduling ruined BB18's chances of rating well. An 8.30pm launch on a Monday? Several episodes being bumped to 10.30pm? Just poor scheduling all around.

I found out the other week that the 1.9m includes all the +1 figures because BARB only release the top 10 to the public don’t they? So without the +1’s it got less than 1.9m if that makes sense bc I was thinking the same thing ages ago x

Actually, you're right. My bad! :laugh: I just saw this note on Wiki:

"^Note 1 : This figure is quoted by Channel 5 as the official consolidated series average and takes into account all +1 figures missing in this table."

It is confusing I know:joker:

As Love Island's ratings continue to rise, they're continuing with the 80 minute episode thing, which can't be helping BB...

[supertv247]

Including +1
Love Island - 1.69m
Big Brother - 867k

Both have big episodes tonight, with new islanders and new housemates, but both clash too while BB is 30 minutes longer. Will be interesting to see what happens

There is nothing of interest on BB as we already know who is entering the house & they are pathetic - Love Island will thrash BB yet again.

[Ross.]

Love Island did that

[Rob!]

I mean it's not even the fact that it isn't over a million...it can't even get over 900k

The Love Island app is now #3 on the App Store, people are LI crazy

(The BB app isn't in the top 100)

[armand.kay]

(The BB app isn't in the top 100)

to be fair when is it even used? LI it's the only way to cast votes.

[armand.kay]

welp at BB choosing to clash with LI at a very big ep

[supertv247]

(The BB app isn't in the top 100)

The love island app is used to vote people off, like yesterday, whereas BB's app does nothing useful

Tonight's love island could reach 2 million. It's a huge episode and literally everyone is talking about it. Although BB has quite a big eviction and 4 newbies too, that people are excited about (Sue), I think it'll get about 800k again.

[Headie]

Exam season is over so I presume that's helped Love Island's viewers as well :clap1:

[Greg!]

One of the good things about low ratings is that less people will vote which will make it easier to save Izzy!

[supertv247]

Including +1

Love island 1.81m
Big Brother 948k

Despite a full on clash, love island hit a new all time high and BB got its highest in almost 3 weeks

[Cal.]

Welp is this series ever going to hit 1 million in overnights again?

[Greg!]

The miracle Isabelle result and Sue's entrance bringing in those extra 100k :clap1:

[supertv247]

Welp is this series ever going to hit 1 million in overnights again?

I'd say the momentum and excitement of the eviction and newbies could have pushed it over tonight. but it's now the weekend and back at 10pm so no chance. If the series generally improves it could possibly :shrug:

[Samm]

mess it would of been cute to hit a million at least

[Jodie.]

Good improvement imo x

[RichardG]

i remember around the bb14 time when evictions would -only- get about 1.6/7m and it used to be rly concerning

lol

[armand.kay]

mess it would of been cute to hit a million at least

she had no chance against LI's massive twist.

[supertv247]

she had no chance against LI's massive twist.

But it did get the highest in 3 weeks though

Lmao I keep thinking back to BB15/BB17 when even episodes over 1 million would be concerning.

[Cal.]

Ratings should shoot back up next year since it's the last series. Will probably be just below BB14.

[Barry.]

All stars?

[Jodie.]

This series definitely deserves higher ratings, it’s really good imo

I can see the official average dragged up a bit though, MANY people watched Fight Night on catchup x

[Greg!]

All stars?

Natalie Rowe was acting like an insider on twitter the other day claiming that BB19 will be a civilian all stars

[supertv247]

The last series on C4 only went up 0.5 million though, so not sure next year could go from ~1.4 to 1.9... although if it is a massively advertised All Stars with proper all stars from both eras of the show, it could! If they even done that before officially axing it, they could then renew it based on that I think

[supertv247]

I remember when we were horrified when the BB14 launch only hit 2m :joker:

I've also noticed that no one has really bothered that much about sub 1 million this year :laugh:
During timebomb, it was a ratings CRISIS! and that was only 3 episodes :shocked:

I mean the sad thing is for the most part, this series doesn't deserve it. It's not the best by any stretch but it's been interesting and natural for the most part. Problem is people don't have the patience with BB anymore. They want fight night by about day 3.

[TaylorCallum]

Ugh, this really doesn't deserve to be the lowest viewed Big Brother. Even if it could match 1.6 million I would be quite happy, but it's not going to.

[Gstar]

BB14s ratings :lovedup: iconic house and garden with nightly live feed. Still to this day don't understand how channel 5 randomly got it right just for one series

[Rob!]

709k INC+1 :umm2:

[LukeB]

709k INC+1 :umm2:

Mess!

what did Li get?

[supertv247]

Big Brother - 709k
Love Island - 1.79m

Oh dear

[Rob!]

Mess!

what did Li get?

1.79m. This is actually depressing

[LukeB]

Big Brother - 709k
Love Island - 1.79m

Oh dear

they actually got over a million more viewers than BB and it's not even the officials

[supertv247]

It's weird cause usually I put BB's bad Friday / Saturday ratings down to all the young audience being out... But love island has a MUCH younger audience and has heald on to their highest ever rating

[T*]

709k INC+1 :umm2:

:skull:

[Greg!]

Love island keeps making their episodes 80 minutes long which is annoying.

[pontyboi]

It's the day after eviction effect people probably think it's a catchup episode.....dumbasses.

Although my TiVo box didn't record it AGAIN! It's happened a lot this year.

Terrible rating.

[Greg!]

At least it's on at 9 tonight I guess?

[LukeB]

[Jodie.]

I don’t think there will be a ratings twist this series; if there is a big twist it’ll be to cut numbers down.

We’re halfway through the series, I doubt people would start randomly watching so imo it’s too late for a ratings stunt

[pontyboi]

Because I'm a fan of the show and he this member constantly laughs at it failing and mocks it.

Don't tell me to calm down lol all I did was call him out for actually behaving like a bellend.

Also telling me to "calm the **** down" is kind of hypocritical don't you think?

[Jodie.]

Exactly, why would you join a BB forum to complain about how bad it is, and it’s not like it’s just every now and then; he complains about it on every single post

[pontyboi]

get over it. he can do what he wants and i hope he carries on doing what he wants. you will see positive and negative reactions everywhere.

it's rude and actually against the rules to call someone a bellend when it's not even him acting like one.

I called the general public dumbasses because after 17 years of BB they still think after an eviction the next episode is just a repeat. Also bellend isn't a swear word if it where it would be blocked out like your **** remark.

I Think that's fair tbh.

You telling me to calm the **** down is going overboard when all this other member does is put down BB. I mean why even join the forum if he hates it so much?

it did seem like you was called members dumbasses but apologises right there

but just because he's putting down BB all the time does not mean you can insult him which is going overboard not my calm the **** down after your insult. that's up to him and i'm sure he has his reasons but let him do what he wants. there is also an ignore function on this forum so if you don't like anything negative about big brother use that :spin: you will get annoyed less then :spin:

[Gstar]

Love Island will get their highest rating on Sunday, wouldn't be surprised if it hit 2mill or peak at 2mil

Agree that's fair enough.

What I'm saying is if you don't like something don't watch it as it seems has happened this year. But this member is constantly mocking BB in a BB fan forum I honestly don't get it.

I don't go on Love Island forums and talk about how trashy it is....what's the point?

CBB19 wasn't a flop?

[y.winter]

CBB19 wasn't a flop?
It was, relatively. CBB20 will fall further down that hill. It might get better viewing figures than civ BB, but too low to justify the paychecks.

[supertv247]

CBB19 averaged 2.4 million

CBB 17 got 2.8, 15 and 13 got 3.1 while 11 got 2.8 and 9 got 2.7

So yeah CBB19 was the lowest January series by quite some way (and it would have been worse if they hadn't done the big panic twist evicting Angie, Austin and putting 3 newbies in BBUK style - you could tell it was going badly)

CBB18 got 2.2 which is the same as most summer series, and 300k more than CBB16 did which was very good, but that followed BB17 which was up 200k year on year too. Either CBB20 will overshadow BB18 a lot, or BB18 will cause it to fall again like CBB16 did after BB16

[Greg!]

Does anyone think C5 will change when BB is aired next year? I just can't see them showing it in the summer again. It's embarrassing that they're getting destroyed by Love Island.

Looking at the actual ratings, I don't think love island is making a difference tbh. Perhaps people just haven't bothered with BB at all because they have LI so maybe airing it somewhere when it's alone in the schedule could benefit it, but I don't know when that would be (unless they axe summer CBB)

It quite clearly is. I don't think it's the only reason why ratings are down and I know they usually air at different times,but keeping up with two daily reality shows at the same time is too much of a commitment for people, and most are choosing LI because it's the newer and better produced show.
Next year they need to listen to people, make sure most/all of the housemates have never been on TV before and show it in February a week after CBB.

[Cal.]

If they attracted back the old school fans they've lost over the last few years they could be on par/just a little bit behind Love Island in ratings.

[Greg!]

I agree. The daily mail online was absolutely slating BB today (also lying that BB was only getting 500k but that's another story) and almost all the comments were saying they don't watch it anymore because they miss housemates that had never been on TV, better tasks, the chalkboard to order shopping etc.

[supertv247]

What I meant was that whether BB is on at 9pm and there's no love island, on at 10pm after love island or on at 9pm against love island; it always gets the same rating.
But like you said I think that's because everyone who's watching big Brother is watching it already, there's no one else willing to tune in when they're already watching love island every day.

If anything, this should help CBB because both will end at the same time, with CBB launching and being the only thing then on every night

I think next year they should launch BB at the end of July, run it for 50 odd days then launch CBB for 28 days - this way it would be over by mid October, a few weeks before I'm a celeb, but would also avoid love island completely while still airing during summer when most 'civilian' housemates are free to take part/watch daily without exams etc

Those officials are bad.

I just can't see civilian bb continuing like this. I can't wait until CBB this time.

First time my whole family have stopped and are now watching LI. They said they'll watch again when CBB starts.

Arthur took the viewers with him. It was averaging 1.5m-1.6m officially until he left.

[Jack_]

It's so sad to see what's become of this show, this appalling channel have run it into the ground

A few years ago people were saying Big Brother had become a cult show, with figures like these that's never been more true

[*mazedsalv**]

The interesting thing will be CBB now. Will people return in droves as LI will be over or has this series ruined Cbb too?

[supertv247]

This is what I can't call. Usually BB has an affect on CBB (BB16 decreases, CBB16 decreased. BB17 Increased, CBB18 increased) so following that I'd expect CBB to be down on last year but I have a feeling it might do really well after most people having not watched BB all summer and love island fans being free

Serves them right chucking a load of Z-list people into the regular series.

The interesting thing will be CBB now. Will people return in droves as LI will be over or has this series ruined Cbb too?

I think that's it tbh Channel 5 have run the show into the ground.....seriously in 6 years we've had 7 civilian BB's and 12 CBB's it's overkill.

CBB20 should have been delayed until January It gives the viewers a break ...actually the whole show should have a break and bring it back with CBB20 in 2021 to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

And for the love of God put it on ITV2!

[armand.kay]

producers are gonna look at LI's rating and take from that that people want more showmance's and model housemates when really people want a show with visible though and effort put into it.

[Jodie.]

This series truly deserves higher ratings :(

[Jodie.]

Why have the Wiki ratings been slightly higher? On this forum, the series is averaging 1.3m; but on this table, it’s average 1.4m

[*mazedsalv**]

Because the 1.36m is up until that Friday.. the Sat and Sun ratings included brings it down to 1.33m.

[pontyboi]

It deserves so much higher....its 100% better than BB12, BB15 and BB16.

[T*]

Production is still amazingly shoddy and it's been a long time coming

Its a massive improvement on some BB's since the Channel took on the show. cBB8 anyone? An absolute **** series.

Add BB13, BB14 & BB17 and your correct:blush:

They were actually good series with good tasks......plus good ratings.

[Jodie.]

They were actually good series with good tasks......plus good ratings.

For me:

BB13 - very tacky, too nasty, terrible winner
BB14 - a few dull weeks, terrible love triangle, horrific winner
BB17 - other house pointless, terrible tasks, too short/hughie never won

BB18 - decent mix of arguments and fun, producers letting the series flow naturally, tasks are a step-up from last year

[Jodie.]

This series is a C5 version of BB10’s ratings; (at the time, BB10’s ratings were scarily low). I’d say that next year would be the last BB, but I don’t think C5 want to let go of CBB and they can’t have one without the other, so it’s hard to predict.

[pontyboi]

Actually yeah you're right. BB13 reminded me of BB6 which was a misery fest, BB14 had a terrible winner and the house next door in BB17 was discovered within days.

BB13 didn't have a terrible winner :fist:

It did I’m sorry

[supertv247]

I don't know the BOTS ratings, but I do know that in the first Friday when BB got 1.1m, BOTS got 800k. It actually attracts a surprising amount of the main show viewers.

[Jodie.]

So what do we think this series will average then? I’m guessing 1.2m-1.3m

When you think about it, in 2011, BB12 got 1.6m. 6 years later, this series’ average is currently 1.3m - not bad at all tbh

[Greg!]

Jordi I like this series too but there's no spinning these ratings. They're ****e.

[Jodie.]

I admit they are terrible fineee but I hate the fact that it’s BB18 getting these ratings, it doesn’t deserve it at all

[supertv247]

1.3m will be the average, and that's terrible. 1.6 has always been okay but nothing exciting. BB14 was good at 1.9, but love island now reaching 2.5 million just makes it all look even worse tbh

[Jodie.]

Anyone got last nights?

[supertv247]

Not yet, weirdly. Love island got 1.83m

Seriously no ratings? That's a bad sign.

That makes me sad.

But I hate what CH5 have done to the format, so it's more bittersweet.

[y.winter]

This is it. Gone below 600k are we?

[Jack_]

Tragic

****ing tragic

[Jodie.]

This is it. Gone below 600k are we?

Why wouldn’t they announce ratings, even if they were low? They released Carlolines eviction, which only got 460k :( this is the first series where I’m following ratings so idk what’s happening x

[Ross.]

It's dead

[Oaker]

Welp BB is dead :skull:

I will fume if C5 are allowed to axe BB but keep CBB

Genuinley think it’s in the 500k range :eek:

Is this a really really bad sign that the ratings were very low?

No but like being serious why haven't they released the ratings? A tad confusing

[Jodie.]

Makes me fume when you think that they got BB14 right with 1.9m, then they ruined it with BB15. Then ruined it again with BB16. And when a decent series comes round and has lots of promise (17 & 18) they don’t even promote it?? Imo if BB17 has LI-style promotion it would’ve been very close to BB14’s ratings

[Barry.]

1.2m.

[Macie Lightfoot]

alol am I the only one finding this revelation or lack thereof HILARIOUS?

[Gstar]

1.2m.

Last two nights combined?

The problem is if C5 axe it I don't think any other channel would even want it :shrug:

[Jodie.]

3.4m tuned in to watch Sue’s nomination?

cazza's eviction was against the closing olympic show that got like 20 million viewers though hfhfg

[supertv247]

906k including +1 last night.
Weird that no rating came about for Mondays show.
Love Island got 2.04 million last night

bye at no rating for yesterday :skull: she's dead

830k for last night. At least they are fairly consistent but it honestly saddens me to see these **** ratings on a day to day basis.

[pontyboi]

Does that include +1 even though it would still only take it to 870k if that was to be the case.

[Rob!]

I would assume so.

I mean, you can always throw the argument of lower ratings across the board out there. An episode of Doctor Who only got something like 2.8m this year and that used to get 8m and higher.
Still though, Love Island is getting freakishly high ratings. The thing I don't get is that it gets praised for doing things that viewers of BB always criticise the show for.

I don't remember anyone criticising Big Brother for ever having slick production, or effort being put into it, or good promotion, or a balanced edit, or knowing its audience and format. That's because Big Brother in the last few years has had/done neither of those things whereas LI has. That's why it's rating well.

No I mean more a series full of model types, with mostly bland personalities and the entire format being based around the idea of showmances. I don't get it.

You haven't even watched an episode for you to judge their personalities. SHUT UP BIG GOB! :oh:

And I don't think the problem with BB is model types, but more reality stars. BB13's cast was filled with model types and it was the best series C5 have given us.

[supertv247]

Love Island is NOT Big Brother though - the show isn't based around being disconnected from the real world, that's why no one kicks up a fuss when they get to read tweets. The show is a dating show for young couples, that's why the cast is all young.

2.1 million isn't freakishly high though is it really?

Not defending BB but the press and buzz around Love Island are talking like its getting 10 million lol its all hype which will probably die off in the next 2 series.

This series deserves BB14’s ratings x

[Jodie.]

If this series reaches 1m again, it’ll be seen as a big rating.

That is actually so *******ing sad

[T*]

I think the ratings for LI are inaccurate, it must be higher
People like LI bc it's fresh and well made, and doesn't pretend to be something it's not like BB does

[T*]

Also a lot of the couples are actually entertaining and have personalities

[supertv247]

It's a shame that in BB14, 1.5m was the norm and anything below 1.2 was panicable yet now we will be celebrating if it reaches 1m. But then Love Island is SO far away this year that the 2.2m it's getting makes BB14 look bad

[supertv247]

C5's Big Brother peaked in series 3, so it could be the same for Love Island. All be it a much steeper peak, from 0.5 to 1.5 to 2.5 compared to 1.55 to 1.6 to 1.9 for BB :(

[Jodie.]

*not being bitter about the ratings*

But I don’t get why people are comparing BB to LI; it’s a different show and one has been on for 17 years whilst the other has been on for 3 years

[supertv247]

*not being bitter about the ratings*

[supertv247]

Within its limits, it is doing incredibly. If Love Island had relaunched on the main channel a few years ago and had followed the same surge of popularity it would be at BB3 levels by now, but it's on a multi channel so it doesn't reach that audience of a main channel.

[supertv247]

Big Brother - 882k
Love Island- 1.92 million

I think the only chance of reaching 1 million again is the final, as it'll be the only episode on at 9pm on a weekday without Love Island :(

No, BB6 and 7 beat LI and thats why it wasn't renewed for a third series
Also it's not too graphic for the main channel

If it was moved to ITV they couldn't show the sex and it will forever be cursed like BB is with warnings and punishments.

The first series of Celebrity Love Island in 2005 clashed with BB6's first few weeks and it often beat it in the ratings and was getting around 5m whereas BB6 was getting 4m. https://amp.theguardian.com/media/2005/jun/07/overnights

Although the second series in 2006 got like 3m and it flopped against BB7. Also at the time, Love Island generated such a negative publicity for the channel, not only for being an attempt to rival Big Brother (which they wanted at the time), but also because it was really cheap and trashy. That's why it's better on ITV2 tbh, plus it's more of a flagship show over there, whereas with ITV1 it wouldn't be as they already have Corrie, I'm A Celebrity and X Factor.

It's funny how 3m was seen as a flop in 2006, when it's getting like 2m now and it's a success.

From Digital Spy

Love Island: 1.88m (10.5%)

The episode was actually one of the best so far IMO but yeah because of the late time and the fact nobody cared about who faced eviction, I thought it would be bad. Staying consistent at 0.85 is good I guess

822k.

They show that in total, 2 episodes have been up year on year overnight and no episodes have been up year on year officially..

[*mazedsalv**]

I'm predicting this series will average 1.15m.

Personally I think for the officials tomorrow, the Monday episode will have gained quite a fair bit (Lotans ejection). Overnight it got 890k. I reckon officials will have it at 1.3m.

[*mazedsalv**]

Tonight will be bad as I can guarantee that LI Aftersun will beat BB again.

But I reckon we'll see slight increases this week.

I know it means nothing but in terms of week average got overnights, it's climbed 3 weeks in a row

The consolidation average is 333k which is also down yet again...Last year added an average of 460k.

These numbers are just bad, there's no way to turn them.

[supertv247]

To put it into perspective: last years BB averaged 1.15m OVERNIGHT while this last week of BB has averaged 1.15 OFFICIALLY.....

Next week will have been when annihilation was which averaged 1.24 million overnight.

[Jodie.]

So overall what’s this series averaging so far?

[supertv247]

So overall what’s this series averaging so far?

BB16 -1.34 (1.36 overall)
BB17 - 1.50 (1.58 overall)

But 15 & 17 pulled Armageddon & Annihilation which gave them a boost, I don't see that happening this time

These ratings are low, but I’m past caring about them now tbh. They’re not reflecting the quality of this series, it’s just people are tired of BB imo
