Don't worry about ratings unless you know how to read them and what they mean.
**** me patronising much?

And about it staying above 1 million. Lets talk on Saturday when it dips under the 1 million mark.

2004. Hello. Ratings were different.

Like in the US, in the early 2000s Survivor would get like 14 million viewers, not it gets about half of that but at this point thats still considered to be fantastic ratings.

Continue that aggression and I'll give you a reason to be angry. Calm down.

Last Saturday BB was the only C5 program to stay above a million, as long as it continues the trend of being the most watched C5 show then it'll be fine. Plus it's not always about the numbers, it's WHO's watching that matters. BB attracts young viewers which is always valued highly by advertisers.

Hopefully bad ratings means next year it will be; back to basics and live feed.

Can't really say it'll be okay because it's C5's most watched show atm, some nights it's only managing to get a few hundred thousand above other C5 shows, which they're paying far less than 200 million for.

Desmond took it downmarket with the current crop of 18-30 Wine Me, Dine Me 69 me ******* that pass for HMs. If it is dire then they won't pull it for the next 2 yrs just show it at 4am on Wednesdays!

Loved BTR, especially the afternoon and overnight LF, mostly, IIRC, featuring James preparing dinner and James getting drunk ..... ;)

This. Its costs far less to buy a play season of CSI and get slightly lower ratings than this which requires a small army of people and 24 hour filming. If it doesn't perform millions more than a normal show then its a pretty poor showing.

I preferred Channel 5 back when it was Five and Fiver, it feels like its gone more back to the way it was in 1998 which feels less professional.

i watched the launch night of both cbb and bb but have not watched since. it has become a farce with all the young hm's - no live feed - and this fiasco of fb credits? come on, this is not bb anymore but a ( make as much money as we can ) for greedy desmond.

Consider though that Channel 5 isn't broadcast in Ireland and Wales unless the viewer has Sky. I reckon it'd be more around the 1.8 - 2m mark if it did. :)

Let's get BB trending again. I'm not against the odd tweet or status update and I do spread the word round the office every day as it is. That gets people talking and listening
