Oh no. Big Brother got LOWEST RATINGS ever last night? :(

[Gavin]

Oh no, this is such bad news. :wink: :shocked:

Big Brother got its lowest ratings ever last night:

Big Brother fell to its lowest audience ever last night, as the show struggled up against tough competition from the other channels.

Last night’s episode pulled in 1.0m (5%) on Channel 4, with a further 419,000 watching on C4+1.

It was the programme’s lowest ever audience, with the previous low being 1.5m a couple of weeks ago.

What happens now? Will Big Brother get axed?

[Beastie]

oh dear! its partly my fault! i was out last night!! but i will be watching the repeat on 4od :D

Shame on you......But congratulations on admitting it was your fault.......:bigsmile:

P.S. I suspect you will be the only viewer when BB11 comes around.

[Simone.]

God that's terrible.
We can't blame it on the fact it was Saturday because BGT had like 13 million viewers.

Who can i complain to Gavin. I'm sure you would know? :whistle:


BB was up against Katie Price and Casualty.


Casualty was great :thumbs:

[Rollerrd]

I've stopped watching myself. Kris' eviction on Friday was the first time I've watched it in a week or so. It's really boring me at the moment.

[Beastie]

the new housemates are going to shake the shack!!!!!!

from tomorrow night!! big brother is going to get SPICYYYYYYY :D and in a piping hot good way :D

[haggis]

Yeah I'll tune in for the birthday 'celebrations' but I don't think there's an awful lot BB can do to revive itself.

[vesavius]

So bored with doomsayers.

What do you even care about ratings this season?

We know it won't be cut, contracted agreements won't allow it, and so it's just pointless moaning. It means nothing. It's not like C4 could cut it's resource down any further.

If you are enjoying the series carry on doing so, if you arnt turn off. It's that simple. The viewing figures are irrelevent.

[Marzy]

I was watching the latest Harry Potter film on another channel. I havn't seen it before and it was really brilliant.

These figures will be even lower as the weeks go on. To be honest it's like watching re-runs of old BB series. It's lost it's spark. BB11 would have to be something completely spectacular, new and different for it to work.

[Chels]

woops it's my fault.
i didn't watch; couldnt be bothered :laugh:

[Nicky.]

Haha! Gutted xD

I was out at McFwi, didn't care I missed it, haven't watched the repeat and I won't be either xD

[Tom4784]

God, It won't be axed mid series people! Will it ever sink in!? Channel 4 COULD buy their way out of the contract after BB10 finishes though. I personally haven't watched it all week, it's been stagnant for weeks. I'll give it another try this week though because of new HM's and such.

[Harry!]

Can I add that recently the chat thread pages have dropped a bit. Wonder why?

I know I have trouble with it sometimes.

[bbfan09]

oooops had better things to do last night haha
the sat shows are usually boring anyway

[fitz2k2]

because everyone got boring,lisa bore,karly hot bot bore,halfwit is halfwit,sivash is sivash,marcus still follwing norin like love sick puppy.Norin still drawing him in,charlie ehh still funny,rodrigo been quit up till that whole thing from outside

[*mazedsalv**]

Well with +1 it was 1.4m... poor but it was up against the interview and Casualty.... what do you expect?? Everryone i know dont watch the Saturday shows at all, they go out instead.

[Saph]

There are things they could do to help. First off is they have to lay off total control over the HM's. Arguments and fights make good television. As it stands this year any argument that has been had has been stopped because of fear of being punished. Sree and Rodrigo both are/were little tattletales who run to the diary room when they get into a spat in the house. Its like you have to revert back to a child's mentality level to win this game or to even avoid being put on the block as punishment. Let the HM's sort out their problems and make Big Brother more of a guide than an authority figure.
The second things is give them more alcohol. I dont understand why they only give them about a pint apiece. The 2 current groups in the house would be at each others throats by now if they had a way to loosen up making good television.
The rules and regulations that are in place right make the
HM's have to act nice and cordial all the time which is boring. How long do you think Lisa would last as such a strong player if Marcus or Siavash could really lay into her and tell her what they think without the fear of having to be on the block next week because Rodrigo is going to tell on them for being disrespectful?

Umm no, the week before Sree was evicted the Sat show got 1.5m, 1 week after (last night) it got 1.4m (a fall of 100,000 against MUCH tougher competition).

Doesn't matter what reason, still had 2.3 million viewers. Kills 1 million viewers y'day.

1.4M INCLUDING +1
The Saturday (week before Sree left) got 1.5M INCLUDING +1
A FALL 0F 100,000 :thumbs:

Is there a mod that can merge this thread with the established ratings thread?

seems pointless to be having the conversation in two different places.

What has +1 got to do with it?

It's just about the main BB program on C4.

We could dig out weird stats about Live Feed, +1 etc but it would be pointless.

But still, comparing 'live' to 'live' (well, alloted time):

2.3 million (Sree eviction) vs 1 million (Sat show).

I'm sure Sree's eviction night had more viewers who watched the repeat, the day after, or whatever. But that's not relevant.

EDIT: The viewing figure stats are all just C4, not +1. Sree's eviction of 2.3 million was just when live. It's more if we include +1, etc.

EDIT: Fri's eviction got 2.1 million, and that was 5-way too; which should mean more viewers (more fans from 5 HMs instead of 2). Yet it STILL got lower than Sree's night.

No, because all the viewing figures that C4 released are about the main show, or live show; not repeats, Live Feed, +1, etc.

If people were to tot up the repeat viewings, +1, etc the figures are higher.

But nobody gives a monkeys about that.

Does anyone know what viewing figures Fri's eviction had?

EDIT: The viewing figure stats are all just C4, not +1. Sree's eviction of 2.3 million was just when live. It's more if we include +1, etc.

+1 is ALWAYS INCLUDED.

Fine if we are not talking about +1, Saturdays show before Sree left got 1.2m on C4 only (a fall of 200,000), last Saturday, it got 1.4m on C4 only. So wa shigher than when Sree was there.

Sorry bit stop making excuses that the ratings have gone down because Sree has gone, the whole of the last week has been up on when Sree was there... so that obviously means people are liking him not there.... 85% votes him out, you cant blame this on us.

The amount of people up for eviction has NOTHING to do with ratings, look back on all the past 9 series.

No, only by you. C4's article all state that the viewing figures do not include the +1 viewings. It's just the main program.

So it's 2.3 million (Sree night) vs 1 million (Sat main show) etc
Sree's night has more than 2.3 million if one dug up +1 figures.

Saturdays show before Sree left got 1.2m on C4 only (a fall of 200,000), last Saturday, it got 1.4m on C4 only. So wa shigher than when Sree was there.
So the show the week before Sree left got 1.2 mil.
The show the day after Sree left got 1.4 mil.
Y'day's show got 1 mil.

Looks like Sree's big rating winner on Fri night helped the main show on Sat the day after -----> WHICH STILL HAD SREE IN IT!

The stats speak for themselves.

Sree's eviction night: 2.3 million
Main sat show after Sree's eviction night: 1.4 million

Before the main attraction of Sree's night: 1.2 million, Main Sat show.

NOW: All time record low, 1 million So yes, it is on the wane now.

EDIT: The 5-way eviction, which should have MORE viewers as it appeals to more fans, STILL got less than Sree's eviction night. :thumbs:

Sree's night has more than 2.3 million if one dug up +1 figures.

In the overnight figures, +1 is always included in the finale rating, the producers always want to see +1 as well because loads mor epeople watch on there, its just not me, in IBB, +1 is included in the officials and have been since BB8.

Saturdays show before Sree left got 1.2m on C4 only (a fall of 200,000), last Saturday, it got 1.4m on C4 only. So wa shigher than when Sree was there.
So the show the week before Sree left got 1.2 mil.

You cant compare an eviction show to a Saturday show, its completely different. Kris's eviction may match Sree's eviction as well.
In previous series, look on IBB for proof, the less people up the more people watch as its more intense and closer.

Yes Sree's eviction may have been the highest viewed eviction interview because people didnt like him, he got the 2nd highest % behind Sophia, everyone wanted him to go, you cant say that 85% of the people that votes him out are feeling guilty for it....

And remember COMPETITION!!!! It was up aggainst STRONG COMPETITION!!

The lower ratings have nothing to do with Sree, your just saying that because your a fan, if it was to do with a HM it would be Cairon, as the week he went, there was quite a large drop of ratings.

[muchadoaboutnothing]

Are you not going to complain to Ofcom about these low ratings Gavin?

[Stu]

Is AhmedFan2004 really trying to create arguments based around comparing eviction shows to Saturday shows? Good lord.

As a whole, this week was the highest rated week of Big Brother since at least week two according to IBB. So much for Sree leaving killing off the show.

Maz, I wouldnt even bother.

Ahmed just wants to push his own agenda and troll people into an argument. You can't win or debate him.

What did this Fridays show get? Around 2.2m (without +1) per show? Actually probably more then tuned to see Sree going then? You see why it's stupid to even try and discuss it with him? He dosent even use comparitive facts. He dosent even use facts tbh, he just makes it up as he goes along to get a reaction.

Now, I don't give a flying crap about ratings tbh, I only care if I am personally enjoying BB10 or not, but I DO find it funny that all the whingers and doomsayers are quiet when the show is doing ok all week, and only have something to say when it gets a tough night. It's like they just sit and watch, waiting for it to fail so they can gloat.

Pathetic way to live really.

[BB9]

This week has been one of the most watched weeks of BB10 since the series started, since Saturday most of the highlight shows passed 2million viewers.

Last night's highlight show gained 2.1million viewers with the eviction show average at around 2.2million. Up on the past few weeks.

So with BB's big "suprise week" instore next week will the ratings pass the magic 3m?

Stick with us.

Stop talken **** mate!

And I hate how people keep sayen this is the last year when its ****en not!

[Bombardier]

I think Big Brother will get better the fewer viewers it has. Practically nobody watching means that potential housemates won't be interested in fame (that's provided the media finally, finally leaves Big Brother alone).

If Big Brother was a "cult" show it would allow producers to take chances again. Also if fewer people watched it, there would e fewer complaints to ofcom.

Next.... Does anyone feel this is like the record industry blaming file sharing for nobody buying CDs anymore? There are thousands of people watching BB by downloading the shows online. I don't know if it's enough to put a dent in the viewing figures, but it could...

[Tom4784]
