It would have been significantly lower without 10 Cats between the two shows, I think. I can't believe C4 are just sitting back as BB dies :shrug:

I think it would have been the same tbh, this series seems to have hit rock bottom in terms of viewers, apart from the odd show literally everything is coming in at 2.1 or 2.2m

Their little tactic didn't work either, as soon as the announcement had been on viewers switched back off again. It went from 2.3m at the announcement to 1.5m by the end of the interview.

I'm really hoping what I read about Channel 4 pushing BB into the ground for funds is true. Apparently so they can get more funding from the license fee, there is a theory that they're making BB no longer profitable on purpose so they can say they have no huge show to get money from ... then they can try and relaunch it once they've managed to get money. Dunno if its true, but if it is then its a huge risk and hopefully it'll pay off especially if it works and they come back next year and pull out all the stops.

Weekend ...

Friday 1- 2.4m
Friday 2- 2.2m
Saturday- 1.6m
Sunday- 2.3m

Last nights well deserved (can't believe I'm actually saying 2.3m is good) ... hopefully a sign of things to come if its an increase

Yesterday shocked me actually, it got 2.354m so it was so close to 2.4m and its weird that a Sunday show would do the same as the first Friday show.
The positive is that its the highest rated Sunday episode (1st got 1.9m, last week got 2.2m this week 2.3m). Also apart from the eviction shows, 2.3m is the highest rating since the 1st Wednesday show of the series.

But very poor when comparing to last year.

Awww what about the yon 1.4million or so on sturdays highlights. I was like aww ya pack of wankers lol. The fans are the ones killin big brother. i think its cuz most people TAPE it and watch it after, wile there on a night out, which doesnt count as a rating on the time its been played. either that or people jus stoped watching. either way its not going well, I like big brother but i feel its definty going to be cancleed after this one, god damnit fans lol. if i was in there id be going to the camera and sayin '' watch this or il like....pull of in front of the cams durin diner time '' lol kidding

2million last night, very poor yet again

The weird thing is that loads of people are saying how great the highlights show have been recently, but the ratings aren't really going up.

People just won't give the show a chance anymore.

Their loss I suppose.

I thought it would of got more than 2million to be honest, shame because the series is shaping up to be a good one. Guess the LF protesters are doing as they said and switching off in there droves.

Very poor, especially with the BB5 feeling that last nights HL show had.

What is it with the ratings now,i know its not being watched by many but still gets more than every football stadium in England every Saturday gets.To me,being a BB fan,im appauled if c4 pull the show.Logic is simple...more fans per night than 1 days football attendances.

1.9m for last night..... OUCH

Not very good again. I'm just hoping the series can keep around 2million for its run because in August the show could be on its way to nearer the 1million mark

However it did finish 8 minutes early and started about 3 minutes late, so that would have dragged down the ratings a bit.

If it ended 8 minutes early then it will end up about 2.6m with official figures. The eviction interviews last year always took a huge leap

New officials out later on

But people who haven't been watching the serie weren't gonna tune in cos of an argument were they? They wont care.

Official Ratings:

Monday 8th- 2.4m (+0.4m)
Tuesday 9th- 2.5m (+0.4m)
Wednesday 10th- 2.7m (+0.5m)
Thursday 11th- 2.4m (+0.3m)
Friday 12th Highlights- 3m (+0.2m)
Friday 12th Interview- 2.5m (+0.6m) << least watched eviction ever
Saturday 13th- 1.8m (+0.2m)
Sunday 14th- 2.3m (+0.1m)

Official average- 2.7m. This time last year was 3.7m.

Even though the ratings are **** I still wouldn't rule out a recommission. Top 10 Channel 4 (without +1 shows) for last week. 7 out of 10 being BB. At this stage it could be only the Saturday highlights at risk, they didn't even make the top 30

1 EMBARRASSING BODIES (WED 2101) 3.66
2 BIG BROTHER (FRI 2100) 2.90
3 8 OUT OF 10 CATS (FRI 2201) 2.64
4 BIG BROTHER (WED 2204) 2.44
5 BIG BROTHER (TUE 2203) 2.27
6 BIG BROTHER (SUN 2100) 2.18
7 BIG BROTHER (THU 2203) 2.18
8 BIG BROTHER (MON 2203) 2.16
9 ALAN CARR: CHATTY MAN (SUN 2202) 2.15
10 BIG BROTHER (FRI 2236) 2.14

Its just E4 it isn't doing well for. The second BBBM got 0.5m, the only BB related show in the top 10, with BB not even making the E4+1 top 10 at all

Looking at the officials, it does look as though that many more people are watching it on demand or Sky + the show.
Weds 10th show adding 500,000 is big for a Weds show, normally officials add on about 200-300,000, and 600,000 was added onto the 2nd eviction show, which is quite impressive.

Well at least its good to see the show hitting 3m for the 2nd time (exclusing the launch).

But its a whole million down on last years official average so far.

At least there are still some positives like the increase in the official ratings. The show is still doing well compared to other C4 shows and this one positive is a lot more important that a lot of the negatives because as long as it continues to do better than other C4 shows they Big Brother is safe

Woah what happened to this thread? Got a new mod training up or something?

Edit

Nevermind must have been server lag. Guaranteed ratings reduction incoming as BB10 prepares to boot out a big character.

1.5m can't be far off now Angel is on her way out. It's pretty obvious the boring wannabes will pick off all the interesting HMs. Then the ratings will really slide.

I'm outa here once the interesting ones go. I would rather watch my nails grow than watch Lisas gang bore me to death.

2.05m for the first show last night. 1.74m for the second one.

Well, that 'twist' got the viewers flooding back then...

Ouch!
The 2nd show finished 8 minutes early, that would have damaged it.
But still those ratings are poor!

Why are people still being shocked by the ratings? It's been pretty similar for the past 3 weeks :/

I'm usually one to slate the ratings but this is just silly. Most of us were expecting no more than 1.3m, yet it smashes those expectations and it is still really awful?! No, the figures are not fantastic at all but they are much better than we expected.
