Should have put it on after XF like they normally do....

Big brother started at 10pm last night so what was its main competition

Ive said this before but TOWIE is seen as a massive success and gets about the same ratings as BB gets at the mo yet BB is seen as a failure.

Its not 2006 BB just doesnt the ratings it used to.

1.5million tune into last nights show
 

okay so its very apprant now big brothers going to stay at the 1.5m mark.

You are aware there is a ratings thread yeah?

Oh and it was actually 1.4 million

#justsaying

Chill your boots! mods will move it later :blush:

1.4 million is worrying. As a Big Brother fan, I of course want to see it succeed but with these ratings Channel 5 may not decide to renew after their current 2 year contract.

No one at all is talking about BB12, everyone stopped after CBB8.

producers need to sit down after friday night and think of a shocker for the house, cause this golden swimsuit is piss poor.

Very bad ratings

TOWIE doesn't cost £80m for a two year deal though. Big Brother needs the ratings to justify paying the price for the show.

I guarantee lack of live feed has a big part in bad ratings though, the same thing happened with BB10. They axed the live feed and there was a massive ratings drop. They brought it back for BB11, and there was a big increase in ratings. Now they've axed it again, and ratings have dropped again. Whomever's decision it was to not have a live feed this year is extremely stupid.

No, it isn't - it may well be that ratings drop below 1m before series mid-point ..... ;)

Why is this not stickied anymore?!?!?!

1.43 million for last night 7.8% share

God this is awful

Are we returning to the dismal days of Big Brother Celebrity Hijack, which drew to a close with little more than half a million viewers ?

:sad:

:bored:

Poor ratings... I just hope they realise they are making a huge mistake and this is their try-out series and they realise what is going wrong... personally the ratings should be much better, this is my favourite cast in a while.

I think it's too early to moan too much yet, it was a difficult weekend for TV and lots going on.

However,I have come across a fair few people (who really liked CBB), on about BB yesterday and today,who watched other programmes over the weekend as opposed to watching BB,(not younger viewers though),who are totally put off by Jay's in the main conversations.I haven't found many people impressed with Pamela Anderson either, all wondering why she was even there.

I think the ratings will improve,however they desperately need to make available more footage, it is near impossible to get to know enough as to all the housemates in only a 50 minute highlights slot each night.
They will definately need something like live feed next year and really they should think about getting something up and running in the next 3 to 4 weeks as well to hold fair to good ratings.

No need to panic but a re-think is certainly required because this could be a really great series.

But the ratings thread is allways stickied due to all of us using it every day.

Its annoying have to go searching for it when you want to post.

Too many stickies is annoying. And you don't have to search for it. That thread is stickied. Just go there and click the link. ;)

Theres allways been a ratings thread stickied.

Your probs the only person this annoys.
