Clear that Tara's departure effects it.

oh god, does'nt give much hope of a final over 3m..... :bawling:

Wow, very bad.

It's obviously because of the silly time Channel 5 put it in.

Why they let some silly new little game show [Red or Black] take over the schedule and make them chance their time is ridiculous, they should know that Big Brother is the MAIN game show, it's the one and only - and now it's their own fault that the ratings were a fail last night.

I knew it would happen.

Will pick back up tonight

^ What he said.

It's crazy aswell, how only 1.5 Million lucky people witnessed Amy and Lucien, Jedward's triple bed, the housemates being vajazzaled or of course Bobby's Diary Room Pose.

A fantastic HL show - went to waste.

I feel like crying.

I'm hardly shocked, it was up against The Jonathon Ross Show, The Xtra Factor AND it was a saturday. Tonights might not be so good either because C4 always show a film at 9pm Sunday. I don't believe it's anything to do with the editing or - dare I mention it - LIVE FEED! I think Monday-Friday's shows are where they will get the most viewers.

tis cause Tara left people switched off like moi ;)

No more excuses please whatever the time the highlights show is on if people want to watch it they will.Lets face facts this CBB has not been the must see one that even last year was on C4.
live feed may be a factor but if the casual viewer isnt even bothered and thats who c5 care about atm,its looking very grim for BB12

I'd say the majority of the viewers this year ARE casual viewers, who will watch the show when it's on but if something they want to watch more is on another channel (Jonathan Ross/Xtra Factor) they will watch that instead. It's no secret that this years CBB is no where near as good ratings wise as the prvious ones there's been, and that BB12 won't be getting the ratings that CBB has been getting. I doubt tonights show will get amazing ratings either, but I believe that, as usual, it will stay at around 2m next week (hopefully a bit more for the final, not sure about launch though because that hasn't really been getting any promotion). Let's just hope that the weekdays for BB12 can remain at around 2m! ;)

for some funny reason i can see weekend shows being axed for the public series :bawling:

pmsl!

People were watching Jonathan Ross.

7 million viewers.

Didn't deserve half of that, it was complete garbage.

I agree, it was dire :sleep:

Also worth mentioning Million Pound Drop won round 2 of the C4 vs. C5 battle with 1.85million viewers (8.6%) and a further 176,000 on +1

*cries*

1.61m corrected

Red or black will lose viewers hopefully, when people realise it's trash presented by two anoying tw*ts. :bored:

Sunday 5th September - 2.5m (9.5%)

Good rating :)

Shame the episode was a pile of ****.

Oh that's a lot better :D

that's good, hope it goes up throughout the week :dance:

http://www.insidebigbrother.net/ratings

that means the first week averaged nearly 3.4m.... Not bad I say

Great rating for last night :amazed: Maybe the 9pm slot does do it some good.

Atleast with officials it rapes BB10's ratings

Great ratings it seems :dance:

2.3m for last night. Highest Monday rating just edging the first Monday. The share was 12.2%, which is higher than usual than what the shares have gotten in the 10pm slot.

good news, I hope this week follows a similar patern to week1 :spin:

Cam someone explane the difreence between Overnights and Officials??

Overnight are the ones that were watched on the night. Officials take recordings and on demand into account along with repeats

I watch bb on tv catch up does it count that ?

Catch up on Sky+ does count in the officials

tvcatchup.com?

1.9m

I didnt watch last night so im partly to blame for that fail of a rating.

I didn't watch last night as well :/ But good news is CBB beat BBC2 and ITV1 and C4 in the ratings last night! And it peaked at 2M

2.0m
:D
