Welp I didn't realise how low BB16 officials were, I thought it averaged about 1.5M

But it only averaged 1.36M

That 1.4m was a rumour I think. That would mean over 250k on +1 and that's rare for an eviction. I wish though. If it was its the highest eviction either since BB15 Armeggedon or BB14 :shocked:

One of this weeks got 180K with +1 so 250K is possible.

The 1.4M is confirmed:

Is she a ratings person?

1.4m though :clap1:

Yeah I'm sure she writes for The Telegraph or something.

She's defo genuine.

Looking forwards to the officials on Monday

:clap1:

A mess isn't 1.4 higher than the launch? Totally deserving though last night's ep was really well produced :clap1:

200K off the launch which is really good :)

Oh yeah just checked, the launch was 1.39 excluding +1. Still it's a really good figure

yeah 1.39, It's done really well to hold up this strong.

I think CBB17 was the same, it wasn't a huge launch figure but it held a lot of the audience.

get Lorna in for CBB

I'm happy for them, they've done good so far, to have to first live eviction only 200k less than launch is amazing.

Really looking forward to the officials on Monday I never watch the show live anymore simply because theres to many adverts and I'm sure a lot of viewers do the same and Tivo it.

Viewing habits have changed and although its important for advertisers to people watching live the official ratings for the actual show will be the highest since BB14 imo.

Last nights show was brilliant and the new set is very old school BB and the crowd actually behaved I was shocked tonot hear "OFF OFF OFF!" which allways used to grip my sh!t.

Well done Channel 5!

Yep I've only watched 3 shows live (launch, first Hl show and last night), the other times I have either watched on +1 or most of the time, record. It's so much easier without the ads.

Officials will be interesting, what do we think? 350k-400k climb? So the 1.2m type ratings go ~1.6m? It'd be awesome if it was like half a million, but for a civvie series, very unlikely! BB16 only added like 200k.

Yep CBB17 did the same, don't know what happened with the last few days (i call it the curse of the last week of CBB) when all of a sudden the last few days drop which is odd, it's happened for CBB15, CBB16 and CBB17 (i think CBB14 too).

But the 2nd last week, an episode got 2.80m overnights which matched the launch 2.80m.

Hoping officials will be about 1.8m, 2.1 max not enough advertising this year again..

I doubt they'll reach 1.8m, especially not 2.1m!

Safe to say this series isn't doing too shabbily at all.

I don't really get ratings talk but from the comments in here the series seems to be doing well so far. Glad to hear it, it deserves to :clap1:

The official rating for that episode was 2.20m. BB3 hew?

1.35m

Thats good isn't it?
