**The Official BB9 Ratings Thread**

[*mazedsalv**]

With 1 week to go, I have made this thread to predict what we think the launch will get and to post all the ratings for BB9. So this is the official BB9 Ratings Thread. Lets all get in the BB ratings spirit :bigsmile:

It is okay if I do this, yeah?

[_Tom_]

I think 1 million for the Launch Night.

[Spike]

I think 6.8million for launch night.

Extremely unlikely. Whatever makes you think that low?

I think 5-6m.

[MR.K!]

launch : 8.1 Million

Wow, I love that your really positive.
Im going with:

Launch: 6.8 million
Series Average: 3.6 million

[MarkWaldorf]

I'd say 5/6 Million.

[Spike]

I will be surprised if the launch gets under 6.4million.

I think the series average will be 4.6million

[*mazedsalv**]

Think of it this way. The series started with 6.2 million last year which is incredible concidering the soap awards and the apprentice was on. The final got 5.6 million. So whoever watched the final will probably watch the launch, so it should be over 5.6 million for the launch.

The highest launch was in BB5 and it got 7.2 million, i dont think BB9 will beat it.

I think the worst it could get is 4 million.

BTW, where do people get official rating figures from?

[BritneyMajorFan]

I think the Launch Show will get around 6 million, maybe a tad more...

[BritneyMajorFan]

If it did get 1 million, then this WILL be the last ever BB UK. LOL.

[Sam]

I'm thinking around 4.8m-5.2m. I really don't expect high ratings for the launch this year but..

The only competition is, The Invisibles (BBC1), Taggart (ITV), so I think BB will win the timeslot easily.

[Hugo]

6.2 million for launch night.

Average of 3.8 million.

[Spike]

I can't see it getting less than 6million. There is no competition and the launch always gets good ratings. I think it will get higher than last years launch.

[Hugo]

7 million for launch, 2-3 million for the rest

Against Taggart it probably won't because loads of old people like that, but theres no reason why both shows couldn't do comfortably. I still think about 6m for launch as almost that tuned into last years final and with new viewers they'll pick up this year ...

If they get launch night right, I predict a series average of 4.4m.

[\PJ/]

Im going to say 10 million i have a feeling people will want to watch more than ever this year.

[Mrsir2]

I reckon around 5 million. Maybe 6 at a push. :tongue:

[MrBigBro]

After BB8 sucked, I think alot of people will give BB a miss this year.
I think 5-6mil for opening night.

[GiGi]

I'd love if it got over 5 million. That s decent.

If the series averaged at 4 million, it'd be okay... a step-up from last years. I just hope and pray that it doesn't go lower than BB8's... if it does then it's bye bye BB!!

[bigbrotherkid]

i'm saying 7.3 million viewers for the launch and 4.4 million viewers on average for the series.

[SamR]

about 6/7 million 4 launch, 4.5 million for normal shows, 5.2ih for evictions, final 7/8 million depending on how good the season is

[*mazedsalv**]

Im loving the positivity :bigsmile:

[JeanP!]

Launch - 8.2 million
Series average - 6.3 million :laugh3::rolleyes:

[*mazedsalv**]

Well bookies are saying 7-7.5 million, I think thats a bit high, I will be very suprised if it breaks the 7 million mark.

[monkeymadness]

i say 1 million lol

I hope the bookies are right. A few days ago i would have been surprised for the launch to get over 7 million but now I am starting to think there is a strong possibility it could happen. There is no competition and there seems to be a positive attitude about the series. If the show gets alot of advertising in the next few days then I think it could get over 7 million

Yeah and its even better that the fave after that is 7.5-8 million and so on. But Im not sure, it seems unusually high. But people are being really positive about the series it seems, which can only be a good thing.

[Dom:D]

4/5 million

[*mazedsalv**]

I just hope it gets over 6 million.

[*mazedsalv**]

So, very impressive ratings for the audition show last night:

Sunday 1st June:
21.00- Big Brother: The Auditions (E4): 536,600

I hope that the launch does well. 3 days left! Keep your guesses coming guys.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

6.4 million for launch night
4.5 million for the series

[Ross]

I think this series is gonna get a huge launch night rating so I'm gonna go with 7.3 Million.

Series average about 5.6 Million.

Everyone seems to be thinking posotive this year, not just us, but the newspapers, press, and everything. There has been plenty of advertising and i think the fact that the adverts are quite different than before is a good thing. It may make people who usually don't watch it or dropped it in the last few years something like "Hmmmm, something appears to be different" and it makes them interested in why it is different.

[Arneldo]

I'm gonna guess 6.3 million.

I am going to up my guess to 7million for the launch

[BiggerBro]

Launch - 6.9 million

That's me being optimistic. :wink:

My pessimistic side says:

Launch - 5.9 to 6.4 million
Series Average - 3.5 to 3.9 million

It is but I think the launch can easily achieve it, there seems to be excitement around the series and it isn't getting slated on TV and radio like it normally is.

I would be very surprised if the launch gets under 6.4million

[_Tom_]

I think around 6 million viewers for the Live Launch, then about 4 million people watching the Hilights show the following day.

[*mazedsalv**]

With 4 hours to go, what you all thinking now? Predictions?

[*mazedsalv**]

Launch Night: 5.4 million

[Spike]

Its a real disappointment, I think it was the best launch night ever and deserved more. I just hope highlight shows do well now.

I think 4.0milion for tonight

[KKBL]

does anyone know when the official ratings are released?

[*mazedsalv**]

I wonder what the peak was.

[Spike]

Originally posted by KKBL

In about 2 weeks I think
But I wouldn't expect an increase, people really don't record a Big Brother live show.

[Spike]

Friday
Highlights show - 3.5m

[Spike]

Those ratings are really good because the soaps only got around 7million. So to say the ratings on a whole were down last night it did brilliant. I would expect similar figures tonight.

[brohoe]

3.5 brill

[Hades]

3.5 should be considered SUPERB after only five and a half for launch. Plus it was on a Friday ngiht.

[Spike]

Considering the low ratings for launch it did well and it didn't drop much
And with the wedding still to come and entertainment so far it can only get better
I bet C4 are very pleased

The ratings all round were low yesterday, so for it to get 3.5million when the soaps are about 7million is brilliant

[JeanP!]

:hello:

[Spike]

It was steady throughout and peaked at 3.6million

I would be happy with anything over 2.5million tonight

[JeanP!]

Tonight
3.3m

[Sam]

2.9-3.1 For tonight I think.

[ProjectWeirdo]

Sounds pretty good to me!

I still think the number will climb, though...

I'm gonna guess around the same tonight say 3.3 - 3.5 million? :tongue: *fingers crossed* I'll be happy with that, but if its even higher, I'll be chuffed!!

[Spike]

Anything above 2.5million tonight will be a success, i expect it to increase alot on Sunday and Monday

[*mazedsalv**]

Thats great! The first Friday HL last year got 3.3 million and thats when Ziggy entered.

[Spike]

More from Friday
BBLB - 280,000 (1.7%)
BBBM - 300,000 (1.7%)

[*mazedsalv**]

What did BBBM get on Thursday?

My predictions:
Tonight: 2.9 million
Tomorrow: 3.1 million
Monday: 3.4 million

[Spike]

BBBM on Thursday got 313,600

My prediction:
Tonight: 2.7 million
Tomorrow: 3.6 million
Monday: 4.0 million

[Spike]

Saturday
highlights - 2.4m (12%) *peak: 3.1m

I said around 2.5m would be great, the peak is brilliant.

[*mazedsalv**]

The peak is brilliant. At its peak it was the second highest ratings than all the other programmes, I think ITV got about 1.8 million at 9:45pm so thats really good. The only programme that beat it was BBC1.

[brad4672]

bb9 is off to a sh*t start but i think it can do average 4.5 mil at best coz by bb10 theyll want ratings to be higher

[KKBL]

Overnight Ratings Including C4+1
Friday
3.8 million(without C4+1 3.5 million)
Saturday
2.9 million(without C4+1 2.4million)
Sunday
3.6 million

[Spike]

Last night did very well
its amazing how much difference C4+1 makes
I think tonight will get 4.0m or over
I will be surprised if the highlights get less than 3.8m

[Spike]

Diary Room uncut got 414,600 last night
So far thats the most popular spin off
Last night the show bet the first sunday show of BB8

[ProjectWeirdo]

Woohoo! They're climbing again - let's hope they keep on doing that!! :hello:

I think tonight will get even higher, because it's the wedding, and it's been in the newspapers a lot - maybe 3.8 to 4 million?

[goroos1994]

Lucky for you guys, our ratings just keep dropping lower and lower on a daily basis.

The ratings are very good with the +1 figures especially Saturday and Fridays. Cant believe that Saturday got almost 3 million!! Yesterday it did VERY well concidering it was up aggainist the football and Taggart.

Very Good ratings.
Series Average- 3.8 million.
Also on the first Sunday of BB8 also got 3.6 million, I dont think there was any competition as well.

Prediction for tonight is 3.8 million.

[brohoe]

yay justice at last

[Spike]

The C4+1 ratings make a huge difference, I can't believe how much it gets on C4+1 especially the 500,000 on Saturday

Those Saturday figures are amazing, I bet C4 are so happy.

[*mazedsalv**]

I agree. The ratings are very good. I hope it gets more tonight as its not aggainist any football.

[Spike]

I think it could get over 4million tonight. Its the wedding, the secret couple being found out and aftermath of the first big argument yesterday. it will be a great highlights show and deserved high figures/

[Redmond]

Good ratings so far and tonight should be pushing 4 million.

Only bad thing is that the overall series average does not include C4+1, so it is bound to drop slightly.

[*mazedsalv**]

the series average is based on official ratings not overnight ratings.the overnights include C4+1 but the officials dont

[*mazedsalv**]

Do you think the officials will be generally higher than the +1 in the overnight figures?

Predictions for next few days:
Tonight- 3.8 million
Tomorrow- 3.3 million
Wednesday-3.4 million

[JeanP!]

Tonight - 4.2m
Tomorrow - 4.8m
Wednesday - 5.0m

Oh dear

[KKBL]

:bawling:
it was such a great show BUT BB5 got the exact same viewers on the first Monday

[Redmond]

3.3 million is really bad, which is a shame because it was a good show. I guess a lot of people are just tired of Big Brother.

If the ratings stay like that, then BB is a sunk ship. I don't think it will go on much longer, BB10 will probably be All Stars and after that it may take a break for a while.

[KKBL]

i still think it could do a BB5 and the ratings wil gradualy rise

I'd be gutted if that happened, but I really think that's what the show needs... maybe 2-3 years break? And the producers could come up with something great.

It's just that every summer, when I mention to people that Big Brother's coming back, they give a tired look as if to say "What?? Again??!" So maybe a break would be best.

Anyway, it's only the beginning of the series... things might get better, and 3.3 million isn't too awful. I think producers need to come up with a big twist for the series, and advertise it properly on telly. :conf2:

[Captain.Remy]

I think it's too late to have a proper success such as BB3, BB5 and *cough* BB7 in terms of ratings.
People are definitely tired of Big Brother I guess. So unless C4 advertises it more than ever, I can't see how it can attract more viewers.

[KKBL]

people keep on forgeting that BB5's first Monday got 3.3 million aswell and it ended up with a series average of 5.3 million.im not saying thats going to happen but theres still rome to improve

[Spike]

3.3m is awful no matter how you look at it. C4 will be so disappointed, maybe they should have kept it at 9 because it did well over the weekend in that slot.

[Spike]

Last nights show got a better share than the first Monday show on BB5, BB6, BB7 and BB8. So not all bad but still disappointing.

[KKBL]

Originally posted by Spike

That seems to be the problem the low ratings are because people aren't watching TV which is probably down to the weather. So while the weather is nice I am going to judge it on the share.

I should stop being so pessimistic.

[*mazedsalv**]

The 3.3 million figure isnt that bad. Many people were either out or went to bed because of the change of time. It kind of explains why it got such a high share. It got a share of 20%. Which normally would be the equivilent to 4.5-5 million. Its got the highest share this year for the HL show so far. And BB5 first Monday got 3.3 million(18%) and BB6 got 3.4 million(18%).

[RichardBB4]

Tuesday:

3.6 million

Really? Not bad! It's climbing back up again. =)

[Spike]

I expected 3.6m last night, C4 will be pleased. I would expect it to increase again tonight because of the weather isn't as good and last nights argument maybe 3.8m

[Spike]

C4 had an 11.9% share yesterday. I think Thats their highest since BB8 ended and apart from the BB9 launch. Good night for C4 and it shows BB plays a big part.

[Spike]

More ratings from Tuesday
BBLB: 315,300
BBBM: 419,600

[Redmond]

I wish people would stop using the 'weather' excuse, it's on at 10pm on a Monday and Tuesday for gods sake. What are people doing at 10pm, having a BBQ...down at the beach? Most people will have work the next morning, so I doubt they are out. At 9pm I can kind of see where the weather argument comes from, but at 10pm nah. :hugesmile:

Anyway 3.6 isn't too bad, hopefully the ratings continue to grow.

[KKBL]

last nights share was 22%

[Spike]

Great share, It should of come second in its slot last night
Tonight might be abit down because The Apprentice:You're Fired is on which will get over 3m maybe 4m because its the final

[KKBL]

it said in todays Daily Star that Mondays show got 4 million even though it got 3.3.

[Spike]

Well we all know how truthful the Daily Star is.

[Ross]

Tonight they're lucky they're at 10pm again otherwise it would have been a battle with The Apprentice.

[MarkWaldorf]

^It would have been slaughtered. The Apprentice gets huge ratings.

[Spike]

Its up against The Apprentice:You're Fired which will probably get 4m so expect tonight's highlight show to be a little down, maybe 3.2m

The Apprentice:You're Hired is on when BB is on C4+1

[Spike]

Big Brother peaked at 3.98m last night, so close to breaking through the 4m barrier.

[*mazedsalv**]

3.6 million is very good. The share of 22% was massive. Charley's fake eviction got a share of 24% and got 5 million viewers. Its defenitley meaning that less people are watching TV. It came 2nd in its slot.

[KKBL]

Mondays episode got around 600,000 in the 6 repeats that where shown on Tuesday

[JeanP!]

Tonight
3.9m

Tomorrow
4.6m

Friday
Part 1 - 7.9m
Part 2 - 8.3m

[Spike]

Bad news for last night
2.8m (14.1%)

[KKBL]

its actualy 3.0 including C4+1

[Spike]

C4+1 really improves it.
It clashed with you're Fired which got nearly 5m
I think last night was just a one off and it will be back up tonight,

[MarkWaldorf]

I think everyone knew it would get beaten by The Apprentice.

[Spike]

BBLB yesterday got 308,500

[KKBL]

one out of the 6 repeats of Tuesdays shows got nearly 250,000

[Redmond]

Still not good enough, yeah The Apprentice spin offs were on, but BB should still be able to maintain it's audience.

I'm really hoping the ratings pick up a lot tonight, especially as tonight's HL show is going be a great one with the electric shock task. :hugesmile:

[Spike]

The repeats do really well, it shows the main highlight show is capable of getting over 4m.

Tonight not much competition for the same audience as BB, maybe Heroes will steal a few viewers but thats about it. I think it will get over 3.5m tonight

Yeah, I meant the fact that last night The Apprentice overall (all three shows) would get higher ratings.

[KKBL]

hopefully Alex's "racist bullying" will bring the ratings because i heard its splashed all over the papers.has it made any front pages?

I think i saw it on 2 or 3 front pages earlier, not too sure though only got a quick glimpse.

[KKBL]

^ i supose thats good then

[Cody™]

I must admit, i watched The Apprentice You're Fired and recorded Big Brother. Last night was an Apprentice night.

Racist?

How is it racist? Bullying yes, but racist?

[Arneldo]

We shouldnt be panicking, yet. Yes, the show has been down on last but it always was due to last years being a ratings and critical failure. The first week so far has been poor, but we still have 12 more weeks to go. Plenty of time to turn it around. If we meet the five week mark, and ratings are this bad - or worse, then the people at BB really need to worry.

The thing with this series is that it has not been a critical failure. It's got positive reviews from fans, and from the media. The die-hard BB fans are still hear and watching. It's just the occasional fans that have switched off.

Also, we are guaranteed Big Brother up until 2010, so it isnt going to be axed.

3 million is good. I predicted 2.8 for last night.
For tonight I say 3.5 million. Its up aggainist Heroes and House.

[Spike]

Heroes and House will steal a few views but not many. I expect around 3.5 million tonight but it will be on C4+1 at 10pm which could add alot of viewers to the total.

Thursday
Highlights - 3.46m
BBLB - 518,000

[KKBL]

it has to reach 4 million tonight!

[Spike]

to say there was hardly any competition last night it did bad but it still recovered from Wednesday.
Again no real competition for its audience tonight, it might just get 4million

[KKBL]

the shares tonight should be huge

[ProjectWeirdo]

Last night was a great show, for me it was my favourite highlight show so farm and if other people think the same, the ratings might be up tonight... especially seeing as it's an eviction.

I wish Big Brother would advertise more...

[Captain.Remy]

I won't reach 4 millions tonight guys. Whatever it's friday or not. I think the ratings figures are clear for the next weeks, same as BB8.

[armani]

does anyone know where bb is being held this year?

[Spike]

BBBM got 449,100 yesterday. I think thats the first time this series BBLB beat BBBM

[Spike]

Last night share was 13% of C4 but will be higher with the C4+1 share
On C4+1 nearly 500,000 tuned in, thats amazing
I have noticed when the show is on at 9pm the show gets more viewers overall because lots of people watch at 10pm on C4+1

[*mazedsalv**]

So last night got 3.5 million? Thats good aggainst the footbal.

Prediction:
Part 1 of eviction: 3.7 million
Part 2 of eviction: 3.9 million

As long as it gets over 3.1 million(Shabnams eviction) I think we will be okay.

[SamR]

It will definately get more than Shabnam's eviction, especially now that the viewers dont have a definate evictee and it is very exciting lol

[*mazedsalv**]

Im hoping it can break the 4 million barrier but i doubt it.

[SamR]

These days people are sooooo obssesd with ratings, ho cares!! If you like the show why bother caring lol, I love BB and always will, yes the ratings are lower than in previous series but BB is still and always will be one of the most famous shows in TV history, so theres nothing to get worked up about.

[bigbother.x]

:blush2: I LYSM KAT!

[Spike]

Friday
Highlights - 3.5m (15.8%)
Eviction - 2.6m (14.9%)

its not looking very good.

[MarkWaldorf]

:shocked:!!!!!!!!!!!

[Captain.Remy]

'member I told you !
Of course it wasn't going to reach 4 millions and it will never be.

[KKBL]

ohhhh

it doesnt include C4 +1 though

[Hugo]

OMFG at the eviction.

[Spike]

They are as bad as the BB8 eviction ratings, i think

I don't understand why it isn't doing well, this is the best series since BB6. If the ratings don't increase then the producers must do something.

[Hugo]

This might be the last series if the ratings fall again.

For the 15.748th time: Channel 4 and Endemol have a contract for Big Brother until 2010.
I couldn't make it clearer.

[Spike]

The eviction show apparently finished 7minutres before the it was supposed to, so in the last 5minutes when the show wasn't on it got 0.93m which brought the ratings down. If we took them 5minutes off then it would of averaged around 2.9m

But even 2.9m is bad. BB9 show really needed to get 4m or over at some point this week.

I'm sorry but that's not an excuse. The viewers watch the show when it's on, not off and watch it from beginning.
The most important thing is: we have to accept BB9 will flop just like BB8. The old times are over guys, you better get over it. :thumbs:

C4 wouldn't take the risk to break a contract with Endemol. And a contract breaking is complicated.

[Spike]

I think there should just be a 1 hour 30 minute show on a Friday instead of 2 shows.
Also maybe BB should go back to 9pm because so far it has got better ratings at 9pm and people who missed it watch on +1 at 10pm
So far its not looking good for a great series

Whether it's a good series or not, the public turned it off since CBB5 and the massive controversy the show got.
Also, new reality shows have appeared, people don't seem to bother much about the show.

Of course they will have to. What do you expect ? It's all friendly-friendly. Breaking a contract will cost ££ to whoever decides to rip it.

[MarkWaldorf]

You have to remember that not everyone will watch every show. I bet you even some die-hard fans will miss a show because they're either out or busy. If you run a show every night for thirteen weeks its not going to get the same ratings every night.

Even if it's not breaking 4 million now - it still has 12 weeks to do so. Don't give up faith.

Even with some big fans, the ratings wouldn't be spectacular. The audience lost faith and got bored with the show.

[Spike]

The thing which annoys me most is a repeat of A Touch of Frost gets higher ratings.
There is no excuse for the bad ratings last night because there was nothing in which competes for the same audience as BB.

They don't have to go through with the contract if they think that having more shows wouldn't be financially viable or even if they think there is nothing more to do with the show. Contracts can be ended mutually.

However, I think there will be a BB10 and I personally think it will be All-Stars.

Of course they don't have to. But only if both parts agree. So far, no sign of axing the show.

[MarkWaldorf]

Well if it can get 3.6m one night and 2.7m the next, it obviously means people can't be bothered to watch. Which relates to my point that not every night will people tune in.

Of course I didn't say the contrary. But the fact people don't bother watching is a problem.
Personally I think it's a bit too late to go back to the old '6 millions'

[Spike]

Maybe we should of had a new eviction process this year or the divide format. Something like that just might have won viewers back.
So far the ratings have been good overall.

[KKBL]

theres only one thing that can bring the viewers up,and thats Alex's eviction

[Spike]

Yeah If anything is going to get over 4m it is Alex's eviction but I don't want that to come too soon.

[KKBL]

Charleys eviction got an extra 2 million viewers.just say Alexandras does to.then if they show a great HL's right before her eviction then maybe some of those extra 2 million people might decide to start watching,and the earlyier that happens in the series,the better.

[KKBL]

BARB(official ratings) dont include the 7 mins so hopefully it will be higher

[*mazedsalv**]

When the +1 figures are released, the first show could break the 4m barrier.
It proves that people wanted Mario out because between 9:50-10pm 4.4 million peaked. But as Steph was evicted, only 2.6 million watched. Im guessing lots of people wanted to see Mario gone instead.

[Spike]

The peak it brilliant, now that makes the night look abit of a success

[*mazedsalv**]

The 2nd eviction show also finished 7 minutes before. At 11pm it had 2.7 million viewers but at 11:05 it went wayy down to 900,000!!!

It finished at 11:03 so I understand that so many switched off after it ended. If the last 5 minutes wasnt counted, the average of the interview would of been 3 million.

And I'll say this for the 15.740th time if Endemol think the show is failing (which it is misrably) then they don't have to continue they're contract.

There are shows that get 500,000-1 million that arent getting cancelled on C4. Why should a show getting 2.5-3.8 million viewers get cancelled?

[Hugo]

Charley's eviction only got 2 million more viewers because she had been in there for a long time and people had started to hate her more and more. Alex will leave next week and not that many people will care.

R.I.P Big Brother :sad:

Because it is wasting a prime time slot where Channel 4 could have a brand new show which would get alot more viewers and money. No matter how much BB advertise people have given up on it.

Its still quite unlikely getting a show to get 3 million+. They made us think that Dirty Sexy Money was going to be a huge show in the UK and advertised it so much but the ratings have fell to less than 800,000 for the show.

[Spike]

This is an interesting post on DS

Total Reach for Thursday Highlights
21.00- C4- 2.92m
22.00- C4+1- 550,000
08.00- C4- 190,000
09.00- C4+1- n/a... but let's assume about 50,000
13.55- E4- 80,000
14.55- E4+1- 30,000
17.55- E4- 90,000
18.55- E4+1- 70,000
= 4.0M

The show is getting 4million or over with repeats, so the show is doing well. If they cut down on the repeats the first viewing ratings would be great

[KKBL]

^ wow
and also at the 4.4 million peak

[SamR]

Alot of C4 and other chanels have shows getting like 1 million at the most for ratings, BB IS doing well, last nights eviction show got over all about 4.0 million, including repeats, So BB is not dead, it is one of the most talked about things of the summer as we know because of press interest in newspapers, magazines and the internet, And last night on 8 out of 10 cats it showed that BB had more conversation interest in britain than The Apprentice.

[KKBL]

last nights HL's got 1.8 million without C4+1

[*mazedsalv**]

Thats awful!! I didnt watch yesterdays HLs, Im waiting for it to go on demand. I know about 200 regular viewers that didnt watch it.

Im not trying this for an excuse but it was confirmation day yesterday and I was having a party at home and all of my family was round(almost all watch BB, especially cousins) but didnt watch and so were my other friends, none of us watched. I think that may have had an effect, especially seeing as people that have their confirmation are 15-17(regular BB audience).

Im guessing 2.2 million including +1.

Wow... that's bad.... :bored: I wonder why it's dipping so much?? I mean, it's a lot better than BB8, but it seems to be getting lower ratings... Big Brother really needs to advertise a big, big twist or something to get back mroe viewers.

I know I only know the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest percentage of viewers, but I actually know quite a lot of people who are watching this year. Big Brother almost always comes into my conversation with people... I don't know how it's not very popular.

*le sigh* Maybe it's because Stephanie's gone, hehe... yes that was to make the voters guilty. ;) Jk.

A rumour on IBB saying that about 500,000-600,000 watched on C4+1 meaning it will go up to 2.3-2.4 million.

Big Brother is dead. The 3 million viewers that are left are likely to all be the die hard crowds who will watch regardless , so theirs no way the ratings are going to dramaticaly rise for some special event or eviction.

Also , using the repeats excuse is pathetic because the show is repeated numerous times EVERY year.

And as to why it would be cancelled while their are still 3 million + viewers? Think about it : look at the amount of scheduel time the show eats up in total. They could replace hours upon hours of Big Brother shows a day with one show per night that has a fairly good chance of getting ratings that are just as high.

Its a great series , better than last years , but the show is dead. At least in its current incarnation.

A format heavy show like BB cant be expected to run forever and this series is living proof.

[Spike]

Last nights ratings were awful.
If ratings don't pick up by the end of next the producers need to think something up and quick.
Euro 2008 seems to be really affecting it, when the match is over the audience for BB increases by alot and also on C4+1
I think when Euro2008 is over the 9pm shows will do well.

[Dan_]

It would be best if they just kept the show on at 10pm until the football is over.

[*mazedsalv**]

Predictions for including +1 figures: (Not including +1)

Friday(1)- 3.9 million(3.6m)
Friday(2)- 2.8 million(2.4m)
Saturday- 2.2 million(1.8m)

And prediction for tonights show including +1 figures is 3.0 million.

Why would C4 want to replace it?
It gets C4 some of its highest ratings
£180 million pounds for I think 3 years, 6 series including spin off shows is really cheap. For the amount of airtime it gets and the ratings it gets, its a really cheap show.

Im starting to think they should get rid of the Saturday show, so far both of the shows that have been on Saturday has brought the series average by about 400,000-500,000 viewers. The BB9 overnight average is 3.4 million now.3 days ago it was 3.8 million.

Yeah not many people was watching TV last night, but its obvious Euro 2008 is having an affect, even on the first eviction show on Friday.
i don't even know why C4 decided to put Saturday highlights on, they know it doesn't do well

Yes you can if half the country is out. 6 points to be made:

1. Its a Saturday

2. Up aggainist the football, when teh football ended, 1 million more people tuned in.

3. It was confirmation day in most parts of teh country, remember most people do their confirmations are 15-16(main demograhic audience)

4. Even the football did badly if you compare to some other games which got 5 million+.

5. They keep changing the slot from 9 to 10, it confused people and it confuses me.

6. It does not include the +1 figures which normally get about 300,000-400,000 more added.

I don't blame BB's rating so low, first it was Jade and Shilpa contorversy, then BB8 was SO boring, as boring as BB4, so people just think nothing intresting is happening anymore, and well, it's kinda true, Big Brother should be just evil. PURE evil.

[*mazedsalv**]

Its so dissapointing because Ive just watched the HLs now and they were fantastic.

[Arneldo]

Bad ratings, but it was a Saturday and up against the football.

At least it wasnt the lowest rated show ever. The lowest watched HL show was the final highlights show of BB6 which got 1.459m.

Shame about the low ratings as it is a great series so far.

[Spike]

I think Steph's eviction interview was the least watched interview of all time

[I_got_a_jar_jars]

Eeeeeek.

For Big Brother the ratings are badddd! =(
