The flop ratings of this series proves that Big Brother viewers want some MESS

[OnikaChrist]

Last night's double eviction got 1.5M viewers during the first part (India's eviction got 1.8M viewers) and only 960k viewers during the second part (after Will & Grace).

The second part is apparently the lowest viewed eviction for a winter CBB series.

WOW.

These flop ratings shows that us viewers want to see MESS. Can you guys believe that it's Day 18 and we STILL haven't gotten any big arguments/fights? I'm disgusted.

They promised us this series was gonna be Groundbreaking! Never been done before!, only for it to be a boring ass series.

If they continue like this, I'm almost certain that 2018 will be the last year for Big Brother UK.

We NEED Frenchy Morgan

[rph]

yup we need ann gone mess :D

[OnikaChrist]

The whole "Year of the Woman" concept was so promising, but these 3 back-to-back FEMALE evictions proved that the concept was a fail.

I partly blame Ann for all this mess. I need EVERYONE on this site to understand that Ann is being the worst housemate of all time and the housemates/series would be MUCH better if her ass was gone.

From now on, the producers need to make sure that any old person that signs up to do CBB needs to promise to bring some sort of mess to the show.

They should've had her in there with India

[OnikaChrist]

The fact that the gorls can't even curse without Ann getting angry proves how much we need this bitch gone and that this show is simply not for her.

death @ 960k :skull:

death @ 960k :skull:

I'm expecting them to announce they're cancelling the show sometime this year tbh.

The way the BBUK producers and Channel 5 took one of the best shows and turned it to absolute **** is so revolting. They need to hire some of us to be producers.

I dunno, the ratings have been going down for years haven't they? I thought the feedback from viewers had been quite positive so far this series? (As well as increased media attention... I've seen a few articles on the BBC news website for example about it which doesn't usually happen). It just seems like a continuation of it's natural decline rather than people suddenly switching off for a specific reason.

[Epic.]

yup we need ann gone mess :D

Yes let's make things even more painfully boring :dance::dance::dance:

[BBUK-Fan]

They did have some very different women this year; intellectual people with real jobs so it's not the reality types constantly kicking off

[poppsywoppsy]

If they get Ann out by the back door they will lose thousands more, including me.

Weren’t most of the BBC articles about India? I remember seeing a lot of headlines about transgender politics from them and others that was spawned around the controversy India caused durin her time

Ya me too. Hopefully they rig it so Ann can’t get evicted, the producers are brain dead if they let their only interesting housemate left slip away

I love ratings suicide!

I think Ann has shed a great light on the show. Without her we would probably be getting the same normal ****.

Guys, the ratings slipping could also be due to the fact that people are either watching on +1 or on My5 when they are able to.

It wasn't even 1.5 though was it it was 1.45 and that second episodes rating is shocking! That is including plus 1 right?

I don't want to see a MESS it's cheap entertainment and big brother has allways been ridiculed as a chav show and seeing as it's probably ending this year I would love it to go out with its original social experiment theme.

It hasn't been boring people have switched off over the last few years due to all the arguments and it being the same thing over again.

Producers hardly went all out with promotion with this series going back to classic bb if they had then maybe the people who got bored of constant manipulated conflict would have tuned in for something different.

But the first official ratings which include catchup ect are down on last year to. I think the second set of officials will be very good and could save the official series average overall but this week has rated extremly low and with yet another episode being broadcast on 5* tonight it's gonna drag the average right back down.

Yes to be fair, most of them were probably about India. Although they also covered the launch and I remember seeing one the other day that was a general article about 'highlights from the show so far' or something along those lines.
