DS saying 3.0m for the first show (for the whole slot), so thats brilliant.

I knew they shouldnt have put teh 2nd show on late, but im sure many people recorded it, and the share of the 2nd show was 20% which is outstanding for Channel 4.

Ratings are good :D That first show will be a a very good 3.3million officially and the second show will leap up so good.

How will the ratings leap up for the 2nd show? noone will be tuning into +1 at 12:15

No they mean that in the officials it will leap up (the 2m from last night INCLUDES +1 anyway), loads and loads of BB fans on forums and im sure loads of people to school the next day missed the show, i saw loads of posts saying they couldnt stay up and they recorded it... so there must be an unusual jump like there is for every 11pm show after BARB updates.

And I reckon the 1st show will push 3.4m in the officials, the first week of UBB added an official of 500,000 on average compared to the 400,000 for BB11, so officials are adding more it looks like.

2.2 million for last nights episode. Oh dear :(

I actually didnt know the show was on at 8pm. I missed it and had to catch up on +1

I watched on +1, coz it was on same time as Corrie

I hope the finale gets at LEAST 4 million!

Me to. Last eviction 1st epsiode got 3 million over night so it probably will.

It should be over 4m, the BB11 final/UBB launch got 4.1m (4.5m official).
The breakdown of the final was this:

8pm- 3.0m
9pm- 3.9m (i think)
10pm- 5.1m

Which meant that over 5m watched the UBB HMs go in, so we should be looking for 5m+ for the Last Hour Show. The first show will be low because of the soaps and earliness.

My predictions:

UBB Show 1- 3.0m
UBB Show 2- 4.7m *peaking at 5.6m

Channel 4 [inc. +1]
19:30- Ultimate Big Brother: The Final - 2.65m (11.6%)
* peak: 4.08m (17.3%) @ 21:20
21:30- Dermot's Last Supper - 3.09m (13.4%)
22:00- Davina's Big Sendoff - 3.32m (16.4%)
22:30- Ultimate Big Brother: The Final - 3.66m (25.0%)
* peak: 4.08m (34.1%) @ 23:25

Appalling, Thought it would be over 6 m

Did the first show grow throughout he night?

Its not appaling it one its slot and recieved 34% share, which is equivelent to what Emmerdale gets (which gets around 6.5m anyway)

The rating grew rapidly during the 1st show and 2nd show.

The 1st show was up against Eastenders which got over 8.4m and Corrie which recorded one of its lowest rating of 5.5m

Officially we should be seeing:
UBB (1) - 3.1million
Dermots Last Supper - 3.5million
Davinas Big Send Off - 3.6million
UBB (2) - 4.1million

Yep, sounds about right, maybe 4.2m for the last part, and a high climb for the 1st show BECAUSE many people would have recorded it as it clashed with EE and Corrie.

But to be fair that 4.1million ish is brilliant and no doubt the first show will jump up so alot of people did watch.

I has retired from this forum but had to come back to check this final rating out.

And im sorry but it is crap.

Lats ever Big Brother getting 2.7 and 3.7m Unnoficially. it should have got over 4 million and with officials it should have been atleast 5 million.

Im gonna be honest though, The whole thing was dragged out way to long and probably struggled to keep people interested.

When do we see officials?

ROFL.

Salv's bizarre, lame duck defending of the ratings aside I agree with Daniel. It's highly dissapointing, whatever way you slice it. It should have , as the mother of all finals and with a heavy R.EYE.P campaign, gotten signifigantly higher ratings than the BB11 final.

It didn't. Which I was expecting. Because after a strong start and a few blips, UBB ultimately sunk back to bog standard ratings after awhile.

:laugh3:
It's not that bad, the R.Eye.P campaign was on the final 2 days, therefore only people who watch C4 during the day would have seen it plus the billboards gave no date.

The fact that it got over 4 million in 11pm slot is really great

Well for the final, officials will come out not this monday, the next one... maybe officials will add a lot, well it defenitley will for the first show. I just think BB had no chance of redeeming itself, it only gained a few extra viewers that were nosey, but BB is dead now, doubt it would have gone much higher than 4.2m.

But looking at the share, it beat UBB launch BY FAR which got 18%, last night got 25%, and 34% peak, share wise it did fantastic.

And for the last bit about people struggling to be interested, the oppiste happened, ratings grew throughout the hour.

Ratings EXCLUDING +1 breakdown:

19:30 ….. 1.7 ( 8.6%)
19:45 ….. 1.9 ( 8.8%)
20:00 ….. 2.4 (10.0%)
20:15 ….. 2.0 ( 8.7%)
20:30 ….. 2.5 (10.5%)
20:45 ….. 2.7 (11.3%)
21:00 ….. 3.2 (13.6%)
21:15 ….. 3.5 (14.8%)
21:30 ….. 2.9 (12.5%)
21:45 ….. 3.1 (13.4%)
22:00 ….. 3.2 (15.7%)
22:15 ….. 3.2 (16.0%)
22:30 ….. 3.4 (19.1%)
22:45 ….. 3.6 (21.7%)
23:00 ….. 3.6 (24.6%)
23:15 ….. 3.9 (31.0%)
