Yes, but the channel is already one factor. Then there is also the fact that it has late night slot. 9pm/10pm isn't going to promise good ratings. Its also more of a show for young people. I mean how many grannys do you think are honestly going to enjoy people getting pissed and naked and swearing and arguments and sex etc. They find it offensive. In spite of all those reasons, BB is the most talked about show when it is on, ratings or no ratings. Anyway, Corination Street and Eastenders have excellent channells/ time slots and have been going on for years so people will just be in the routine of watching them.

Also, about the time slot for BB. Nowadays alot of people have sky+ so they'll just record it on that, and they don't get recorded onto the ratings.

CH4 is third, but BBC2 and it often switch while BB isn't on. And this thread was about if it would be the most talked about ever not the most popular anyway.

I know, and I said at the end that yes, it is. I remember reading in the paper about BB, and although it isn't as popular as it was, it still remains one of the most talked about UK shows ever.

I would say BB7 was just as popular as any other series. But the new technology that came around in BB took a toll on its ratings. I hate when people say "No-one watches BB any-more and its became so so rubbish and its ratings keep going on down and it needs to be cancelled" after BB8. It was a bad series! Does that mean every series to follow is going to be bad. NO! What came after BB4 - BB5.

Yeah I agree. I luv BB, in fact BB8 was one of my favs. The only reason people went off it is because they started the show off all women, as mainly women watch the show, they moaned, sulked and spat they dummy out because there were "no fit guys, hot sext guy innit" in there.

True. But I didn't really like the BB8 - it just didn't feel like BB. It felt so wrong. I'm not sure why they were complaining as Ziggy got hurriedly shoved in on Day 3.
