What ye tawking bout meight?

I agree with OP - Everyone on Facebook was talking about it tonight.

I mean even just people from Belfast, not my English/TiBB Pals - just like everyone was all updating about people going in.

Some of them not even saying Big Brother like you know how during BB6 or something people would be like:

'Oh I hate that wanker Maxwell! Can't believe what he said to Derek? OMG'

And then in BB8 it'd be:

'Oh I hate that wanker Ziggy from Big Brother, did anyone else see what he just said to Caorle on BB there?'


Can you see the difference?

There was a very universal feeling of 'THIS IS AN EVENT' like 'EVERYONE IS WATCHING THIS SH*T TONIGHT!' and we haven't had that since the BB7 Finale.

It was amazing and I hope it stays like this for a long time.

We are indeed pal - just seen another one aswell this morning.

About 5 of us now :amazed:

Anything over 3 Million will be great

BELSHAFT FTW!!!111one!!!

*will stop posting in this thread now*

Probably around 3.2 million

Will then dip by 400 thousand for tomorrow night and the standard shows will usually get 1.8 million

I reckon it'll manage more than that if it can maintain it's entertainment.

Guys I honestly can't see it reaching 3 Million.

It will at least pull in 4 Million, look at CBB7. :idc:

you realise your post makes no sense lol

:conf:

LMAO @ Patrick's post

:joker:

merged and Stickied

Have last night's ratings been revealed?

I think they would have been 6 million or maybe even 7 myself, and the official viewing numbers has not come out yet

At the most I think 3-4 million. I'd say it deserved more though it was a very energetic launch. The only thing that bugged me was that there was no house tour. :(

Yeah that bugged me 2, very odd, was not expecting that

Argh im nervous about the ratings!!

HURRY UP!!!

Well 9 out of 10 trending topics were CBB related last night! Hopefully a good sign!

Celebrity Big Brother got 5.1m with a peak of 6m

Wow. That is very VERY impressive. Highest overnight in C5 history?

it's up there if true, top 5 for sure.

Actually where your source?

DS regulars confirmed it.

bbots got 1.8 against not much competition says alot.

It was dreadful, too similar to recent BBBM's. What was with the dog jizzing all over the crowd? :conf:

Fantastic ratings for Channel 5 last night though, hopefully they can stay relatively high, preferably over the 2m mark at least.

Torchwood got 3.4M down about 1M, BB won the timeslot.

Channel 5 could have probably kept the launch night on Wednesday, C4's Twilight only managed 2m. :hugesmile:

Great news! and had they broadcasted in Wales and Ireland they would probably hit the 8m Mark. :D

Amazing!! :D

They did broadcast in Wales? I'm in North West Wales and got it on Freeview..

Thats a great result!!

Great ratings!

So glad BB had a great opening, hopes it keeps a good series average!

Can you change the title to say 'Channel 5' instead of 'Five'? :p

Hi BB fans. I too am supporting Kerry Katona. I think Amy might have blown it by being such a poseur when she went in last night. I predict Mr Pap to quit first!!

What do people think of Brians hosting skills?? A bit wooden if you ask me and very obviously reading from an autocue.....


Edited to add: Oops was meant to quote the person supporting KK and not the above.....

Fantastic ratings! Hopefully they can hold onto them!

Last nights show got 3.2m according to dsrealitybites on twitter

Not bad, can see it dropping to around 2.4 tonight after last night though.
