Chill out son. I put the [laugh] emoticon in there for a reason, just being light heated.

I'm not an accepted troll. I've been PMed by quite a lot of people actually telling me that they love my posts.

I'm no perfectionist. I hold my hands up and admit that I post crap sometimes :bigsmile: :cheer2:

^^ Well duh, otherwise you'd be downright lying.

This thread is big brotherly morbid :(!

I post crap loads and admit it all the time usually pretty much in the same post but that didn't come across as a joke to me especially with the other patronising smile plus I can never tell with you anyway

But one thing I don't post crap about is other people, if you're annoying me on the forum you'll find out

Okay Tom. :laugh2:

Back to ratings. I think the Friday 22:35 show is in danger of hitting 2 million. CBB6 barely passed it and this series is down on that, so there could be some low figures for that. :sad:

CBB got 2.4m and 2.5m for Friday eviction ratings ... hardly just hitting 2m. Those are quite comfortable and even in line with what BB9 evictions got

Good for last night and nice to see an increase
The increase is probably down to word of mouth from this good series, if the quality keeps up then i'm sure the ratings will too
I'm hoping it will push on for 3million next week

I remember reading the ratings on the Guardian website which only said 2.2m; I don't think they included C4+1, so that's where the slight confusion comes from.

But 2.4/2.5m is still not much over.

And also they were NOT in line with BB9 evictions. Lowest BB9 eviction in overnights was 2.5m and they in fact averaged 3.1m (not including the final in that average).

So clearlty there is a difference between a 3.1m average and 2.4/2.5m average. That is NOT "in line". :joker:

They wouldn't look out of place if they were in BB9 though which is what I'm getting at and you cant base an average on two shows. The other eviction interviews did a lot better (although not on a Friday) but theres nothing to suggest they wouldn't have been higher anyway (just not as high)

But you were wrong. You said they were "in line with BB9" when in fact they weren't.

The highest Friday eviction rating in CBB6 (admittedly there were only 2 evictions) matched only the lowest BB9 eviction rating.

There's no point comparing a different day to Fridays because there's different trends for different days.

What you said was not right, and I picked up on that and gave you the stats. That's all. :rolleyes:

You're just being pedantic and reading selectively ... you failed to pick up on the additional points surrounding non-Friday evictions and said I was comparing them

Hello Mr Pot, meet Mr Kettle :joker:

You shouldn't be making claims which are unfounded. It's not being pedantic, it's being truthful. There seems to be a lot of bias in your posts, and all I'm doing is countering that by presenting the facts.

I actually did pick up on the points you made about non Friday evictions, but there's no point comparing those to the Friday evictions of BB9 as they're different days.

The non Friday evictions of CBB6 got 3.0m and 3.4m. BB9 got
3.8m for its non Friday eviction. So once again, CBB6 was clearly down from it and NOT "in line".

I just think that it's important, particularly in a ratings thread, to not make false claims and just say the facts as they are. Otherwise you're misleading other people.

Where do I criticise BB? I'm usually quite supportive because of a lot of the negativity ...

Where do I never have anything good to say about other people? I do tell a lot of people what I think of them but that doesn't mean I only have bad things to say. But usually you are like that.

Clearly you don't follow my post as much as you thought, and it isn't so much 'hello Mr Pot, meet Mr Kettle' :joker:

But you still haven't answered the question, why are you here if you don't like BB or the site?

But they're still at the lower end and wouldn't look out of place, hence my point still stands.

No it doesn't stand.

Because you said they were "in line with BB9", which clearly they're not.

They're right to the extreme at the lowest end. 2.5m was CBB6's highest and BB9's lowest. That's the most extreme you can get in an overlapping range.

Therefore your statement was incorrect. It does look pretty much out of place and certainly not "in line" as you were suggesting. :laugh2:

Do you seriously think I'd harp on if I didn't care about BB? I've loved this show from the word go and had never missed an episode until CBB6. It's virtually impossible to find anything positive to say about the travesty BBUK has become now, though. The viewing figures bear this out.

If I didn't like this forum, I wouldn't post here. It reminds me of the old C4 board...full of people who use too must txt spk, but that's no bad thing :dance2::tongue:

I agree about the fact BB has become ridiculous but I think BB10 is shaping up to be a great series. The ratings might be hideous but I don't think the ratings reflect the quality of the series, BB8 and BB9 were awful I'd agree with, but BB10 isn't :(! (imo obviously)

BB10 has got great potential - that's why it's so frustrating not being able to watch most of it and get to know the HMs.

I personally really enjoyed BB9, definitely a huge step up from BB8 because they sorted out their act, and it was like a cult show on a mainstream scale if that makes sense? Although ratings weren't great for BB9 I think they were quite good in general especially as it won its slot on a few occasions ... plus BB9 quite resembled my favourite series, BB6.

Less said about BB8 the better but I agree its sad ratings don't reflect quality. Live feed aside, this has the possibility for being the best one since the BB5-CBB4 era and its sad noone is no longer watching the show. But hopefully they'll continue to creep up and up until it breaks the all important 3m mark. Apparently the producers are looking for a 3m (official) average for it to be recommissioned which I think at this stage is quite feasible ... but only if the quality so far keeps up and it doesn't feel a bit drawn out from weeks 7-12 like BB7 and 8.

Oh I forgot to add this in earlier on which could contribute to rubbish figures. It seems really insignificant though. Basically until last night I never realised that the show just goes off for ad breaks and doesn't give an 'after the break' teaser anymore, and last night I went channel hopping, found something else and forgot to turn back because I had no real incentive to and it could have been a rubbish final part anyway

do you think that because there is not the same time every night t might effect the ratings coz people dont no when its on??

Let's hope Saffia's departure will help the ratings a bit.

It makes me really happy that the ratings have been inclining..
I take personal offence to them being low lmao

It'll probably get a bit of coverage tomorrow and then they have a golden opportunity to send more people in/twist for a short term ratings fix that could maybe keep more viewers in the long term

I really think they should just recycle a twist that they know works, something big like Bedsit or Secret Garden and just say its celebrating 10 years of BB. And not a popular idea on here I know but maybe even chuck in an ex housemate along with the recycled twist again for short term boost/more coverage. Maybe if they did the secret garden idea it could be 3 ex housemates who are willing to go back in ...

2.2m for last night, looks like its holding steady around that

Hopefully tonight will be boosted with eviction, Saffia leaving and the whole Cairon stuff ... a lot of BB in todays papers

I called it. I told you it'd be lower yesterday night.

Wednesday was artificially boosted due to the good lead-in.
