Especially now the island has finished, which got 2m+ at 9pm on Tuesday + Wednesdsy

Also weirdly enough (as it was a rainy day), everything was down bar The Island. ITV failed to reach 2m all night.

Best performance goes to The Island with Bear Grylls which got a series high of 2.61m.

Yep with shows like that soon gone that's even more reason to shift Big Brother to the 9pm slot.

It only really need to be on at 10pm when there's hard competition around on the other channels (like The Island, BGT live shows, any sports stuff etc).

yeah The island finished next week, got confused. its on at 9pm on Sunday.

BGT week isn't scheduled for half term week, so its probably the first week of June.

Isnt BB on during exam season every year?

Nobody even knew it was back on, the promo was awful (as always)

Is it too early to say power trip and helen wood has ruined big brothers raitings?

Jims fault as Linda Noleen would say

1.2m inc +1 Bit on the Side 405k (28k/0.7%)

Irish Ratings
103,000 on average last night for TV3 only.

Yes.
But I think this year it started when exam season started.

I mean GCSE's started on 11th May, the day before the launch.

So people will be more likely to sleep earlier or work instead as their at the peak of the exam season, which is the beginning.

Compared to a June 5th launch, as that's when people may be nearing the end of their exams or have maybe finished exams.

It's such a boring series. No wonder it's getting them ratings.

:umm2:

Two days does not constitute a boring series :laugh:

Each to their own, but I've really enjoyed the first two highlights shows.

I just cant wait for the first officials to come out so you can all stop blaming the ****e ratings on exams. If this is the case then the people taking the exams would have recorded it right giving the official rating a big boost and therefor we shall see some pretty impressive officials.

That wont happen.

The fact is it had no promo and started way to soon after CBB its overkill.

The cast are pretty much identical to that of BB12 and the graphics make me want to throw myself in front of the N10 bus :)

Wish people will stop blaming it on exams season, No they would record it if they were that bothered to watch it.

My post seems to have gone completely ignored. Ratings just aren't as important as they used to be anymore.

This series is going good in terms of people & twists. Ratings do not mean a lot these days With sky+/TiVo (Only when you pause/rewind etc),Recordings & Xbox One's & On Demand all excluded from overnights. TV ratings need a overhaul & Big Brother needs a big break

Absolutely best series start in a few years

Bad luck its here till 2018 :))) :cheer:

They really are as the viewing figures decide how much somebody that want to advertise with or during BB has to pay. The lower the viewing figures the lower the ad revenue and at a cost of £40million a year C5 really want a return on it. They aren't a charity. Low viewing figures = low advertising income = no more big brother.

1.26 (6.4%) not including +1

0.50 (3.8%) for BOTS

1.4 including +1, thats good, Ill check what the last couple of years got

That's not bad.
