The launch i think will be 3.5-4 million, people are gonna watch to see what its like, then the rest of the celebrity run should get around 2 million, and then "normal" big brother should average 1.5 maybe peeking at times at 2 million. I think Channel 5 would be pleased with these kinda numbers.

About 1.5m average! i'm actually surprised how many people i've spoken to who've said, thought bb had finished for good! quite a few weren't aware it was coming back on 5.

I pray that they bring it back to bb7 standards or bb6
Best Years Ever! (i started watching from last week of bb5)

Cant really say they are the best years ever if you never really watched the first 4 series lol

Back on topic though i cant see how people look down on BB and think its trash when 10 million people tune in to Im a Celebrity to watch washed up celebs eating kangaroo testicles??

Crazy.

I hope they get over 1 million, I would feel sorry for them if they get less then that. I know they have at least 1 viewer though xD

My guess is 2m series average
with launch like 3m

No way, channel 5 will beat any show on channel 4 right now honestly

Channel 5 aren't advertising enough at the moment to get high launch viewers.

Depends on the celebs.

i 100% agree, recently ive seen channel 5 viewing figures rising and channel 4 dropping. Like the big fight on channel 5 brought in 3 mil on the bag

i think this show may just prove a hit for channel 5 and may put it on the map.
Just if the fans have faith

Agreed, a couple of nights ago, Five had around 1.2-1.5m in the 9pm/10pm slot, while C4 dropped to around 715k.

im glad im not the only one noticing this now lol
and if rumour has it charlie sheen on CBB 2011
We are talking ratings of 5mil a night

542 people

About 2.2m for launch and 1.0m-1.4m HL shows.

2 Million for launch.

1 Million for Highlights.

Can see CBB getting more ratings though :rolleyes: because of the celebrities if they're good enough.
But then again it's on in winter, when people like to stay in so the ratings might be better than we expect.

It depends really aswell on the media coverage it gets, and The Daily Star will ensure it's front page constantly.

agreed :)
If the rumours of stars like jedward and Charlie sheen the ratings will go through the roof for CBB
