So, 1.70m incl +1. Shame its been dropping, but to be fair it was on at 10pm (the first HL show, only other 10pm airing got 1.75m). So, its clear that CBB should stay at 9pm. Really hoping it can hit 2m tonight!

If these ratings are the norm, the officials will be around 2.1m and will be 100k lower than CBB10 which holds the lowest rated CBB right now :(

Come on for higher ratings!! Hoping that it was just the 10pm slot and Geordie Shore which could have damaged it! Great share though!

Yep It should sort of stay at 9PM but it gets a smaller share I think but very similar views.

To beat last summers first eviction it would have to get 2.05 and a share of 10% at the least.

Ooh, don't think that can be done to be fair, I predict 1.90m.

However on last night, need to note that I am positive that it came 2nd in its slot. Midsomer Murders got 2.75m at 8pm-10pm, the news followed at 10pm and I am pretty sure it was under 1.7m.

Yep I think it did, tonight's eviction is only an hour! Can't remember if the first eviction of CBB 12 was an hour!

So far:

2.36m (Launch)... this has timeshifted to 2.75m.
1.75m (aired at 10pm)
1.95m
1.84m
1.99m
1.69m
1.90m
1.65m
1.70m (aired at 10pm)

So about average of high 1.8, if tonight's get say 2M then the average should go up!

I reckon the official for he launch will be 2.95 or something around that.

The official is 2.75m, it's already been released, it increased by 410k.

Lol, oh yeah forgot about that! Not to bad! It's Pauline's thought. Wonder when this series ends? I heard the 16 or 17th Spetember. It's a episode series.

That's with the +1 share added. I was under the impression you cant add shares together as they are specifically added to the timeslot and people watching at a certain point in time.

6.5% weren't watching at 9pm.

Why aren't these highlights cracking 2 million a night it deserves it and the viewers are obviously there. Great to see its timeshifting so well and im confident 90% of the officials will all surpace 2 million

I know, it's annoying because I really don't want this to be the lowest rated, but if it is, it wouldn't be because of the quality but more because it launched with least ever for a CBB so it just means it was unlucky to not have a strong start.

The share for last night was very good though with ~10%. IMO, it depends what they want from the show. If they want higher shares and to beat Ch4 in primetime shares, then they will put in on at 10pm, if they want more attractive overall figures then they will put it on at 9pm.

Personally, I think its odd that they chose to put it on at 10pm on one day, and that day is Tuesday (where it faces Geordie Shore), you'd think if they wanted to have just one 10pm airing a week, they'd put it on a Thursday where there is literally no competition whatsoever when Celebrity Juice isn't on.

However, I am glad they are more or less consistent, its the most consistent they have been in the entire Ch5 run, isn't it? Six 9pm starts, one 10pm start, when in other years it was all over the place, and didn't even stick to it, one time a Tuesday would air at 10pm and then the next, at 9pm!

The show has got boring so fast.

I'm loving it so far not as good as January but really enjoyable much better than bbuk which was really hasty and horrible

It's much more easier to watch than this years civilian series, but I fear it's peaked entertainment wise with the Frency v Leslie episode. Hopefully, I'm proven wrong.

Probaley has but sometimes its nice just to see them getting along something bbuk lacked

9pm slot (incl +1)

BBC1- Last Chance Academy- 2.45m
BBC2- Horizon- 1.55m
ITV- Secrets from the Asylum- 1.94m
CH4- Star Paws- 1.10m
CH5- Celebrity Big Brother- 1.89m

Very close between all the channels! It's a shame its not hiting 2m, but it seems everything is not doing very well, except for Great British Bakeoff which got a huge 8.10m at 8pm last night.

Much better for cbb through

Ye it does, so far the overnight average is 1.87m. So if it timeshifts as well as launch did, it will be above CBB10 and the same as CBB12 pretty much,

:clap1:

It's a decent rating, 8.5% share without plus 1. Does anyone know what CBB 10 and 12 averaged overnight, BBSPY says both 1.92 but I don't remember CBB 10 doing that we'll. CBB 10 got about 5 over 2 M but then it got a few very lows ones with like 1.50. As long as CBB 14 averages 1.90 then it's good.

It needs to flop tbh because I don't want Summer CBB back

I don't get why you don't like CBB in summer, if anything it's refreshing to have after BB. But if there is really successful BB like BB 14 then it's not really needed, the series isn't flopping at all, ratings have been decent.

Normally I'd agree, but BB15 left with such a bitter feeling about BB in general that I am happy that CBB14 came along after to try and make me completely forget about it.

Also, how is it flopping? It has come close to overtaking ITV in around 5 occasions and it did overtake it on Tuesday night. And it is pretty much stable on the previous two summers despite there being around 4m less viewers a night of TV this year than those two series.

Disagree Cbb is much better at twice a year now as Cbb is much more popular than bbuk
