It's still great ratings for C4 though.

dontb forget these ratings dont include C4+1

Well... it was a Saturday... fingers crossed they get a bit better tonight... :sad:

I can't see why people are kinda mad or sad about ratings. I mean who cares ? As long as you enjoy it, it doesn't matter if the show is watched by 5 millions. I personally do not care, I enjoy it. BB6 and BB8 were considered as flops but a lot of people found it entertaining. And BB7 is considered as successful in terms of ratings but I hated it.
So really, the ratings are not big deal, just enjoy and let people not be aware of what an entertaining show is. :bigsmile:

That's good for Saturday highlights, but ratings shouldn't matter as long as you enjoy watching the show it all that counts.

I think both you and Remy are right... and I wish I had that attitude, but the thing that makes me sad is that it should get more viewers... it's a really entertaining program, and it deserves to be watched by more people.

At least, that's my opinion...

Most people are out on a Saturday night anyway. All the first Saturdays have been bad.

TV ratings are judged AGAINST EACH OTHER not on how many people overall are in watching TV. And judged against THE OTHER NETWORKS BB still lost out pretty bad , no matter what the overall viewers in tele land were that night. Its pointless making excuses. And your in no position as an unofficial spokesperson for C4 to say they are 'happy' with them.

Just enjoy the show and stop constantly trying to defend BB ratings.

It works really well on sat. Why mess with it.

Thats low for all the channels considering last Saturday ITV must have got about 12 million for BGT final

uh oh

Or On Demand viewing. I use that all the time.

Its the highest Saturday night audience C4 have had in a long time
BB was very close to programs in the same slot as ITV1 and BBC1, C4 is never going to beat those channels on a Saturday night so it is an achievement getting that close
Just because other programs have got better ratings doesn't mean it did bad
It did well for C4 and to say ratings on a whole were down
BB probably got more 16-34's than any other program in that slot, thats what bring in the money from the advertisers.
I think it was a success last night.
If we are going to judge it against other programs in the same slot most highlight shows in Big Brother history would of be seen as doing badly.

Big Brother usually attracts the 16-24 demographic which on Saturday night aren't usually in watching telly.
I don't think they need to worry inless it starts dipping below 2 million.

Saturday everyones out!! I wouldnt worry about it, if its like that mid-week...then panic
