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: |

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. |

Definitely think it'll fall under 1M at some point. |

At least that would be a start to more footage, and that hour is already set aside to show the repeat of the previous nights programme anyway.It couldn't possibly cost anything really to do that too. |

Do you think if it was shown at 9pm instead of 10pm that more viewers would tune in ?

The thing needed now though is definately more footage. On CBB,we had an idea of the celebrities,didn't need to get to know them too much, these housemates though are total strangers,50 minutes a night for 14 of them on TV is way too little time to. |
The ratings aren't really that much worse than BB10, and this series is airing in the fall and on a less popular channel.
But I think they've made some major mistakes. 1) NO LIVE FEED. Automatically put ALOT of people off the show. When they axed the live feed in BB10, there was a big ratings drop. Now they've done it again and it's had the same outcome. It's their own damn fault now. 2) They shouldn't have started with CBB. Yes, it gave them good ratings, but BB13 had no buzz around it because all the buzz had started with CBB. 3) Time slots like 9:45 and 10:00 pm are not going to attract as many people, especially in the fall when most viewers have to wake up early for school or work the next day and don't want to stay up until 11. |
Interesting bit I read on DigitalSpy:

Why is this not stickied yer :/
|
A bit silly not having it as a sticky in fairness. It's not as if the sticky threads in the BB12 thread as it is are particularly suffocating. These kind of threads have been sticky for years.
|
Any predictions for today ?
|
This should be sticked, threads like the BB12 elimination game are sticked and this isn't allowed to be? Very silly
|
Nobody had a problem with the stickies the way they were for the last month it looks like one person got their knickers in a twist over it and annoyed half the board.
Its just silly. |
wot nuze ?
|
Please refer to UK TURTLES comments about the thread not being stickied. It was stickied then mysteriously bacame unstuck. Im guessing 1 sad little member actually complained about it lol

I don't even know why people are shocked by the ratings.
We had warned Five over and over and over and over again, with emails and phonecalls. Did they listen? No. Karma's a bitch. |
Thanks for stickying this again :)
Anyway yeah remember before it started we all thought it would only get about 1.4 a night anyway and assumed C5 would be happy with that. I think we just assumed all their other programmes done so **** they would be happy with just a million. However...looking at Channel 5's ratings there are shows on the schedule that are actually beating BB aka CSI and all prime time show on C5 last night got over 1 million viewers. BB needed to do something special. I didnt think CBB8 ratings were great but would kill for them now for BB12. Such a shame as i think this is going to be the best series in years. |
Real shame but im just gonna try and forget about ratings and enjoy the great series

Had it had higher ratings this year and then dropped a lot next year that would have looked disastrous,this way it has still done well enough this year and can really grow more next year. It's sort of like business,have lower targets in your first year and then when figures really grow in the 2nd year it seems a massive success. |

Blimey, at this rate, it'll be less than 1m on Saturday ..... ;)

If this series carries on under 1.5 million it will look disastrous. PERIOD. This is the chance for them to make an impact and if people have switched off already now by next year it would be completley forgotten about. |

CBB for instance is planned again to be on first.CBB got good ratings this year.The figures watching, 5 million at the launch and 3 million for the final. The idea of BB is still a good one and that proved people will watch it. The launch of BB itself,only had half a milion less watching. Now, for whatever reasons, ratings are down but to still higher than what even a lot on here thought they would be, I recall seeing figures of 1 million and even under a million being said. I don't think it's too late at all. What Channel 5 need to do is make sure BB is massively promoted next year, bring back some live feed or certainly lots more footage of BB and use the CBB series to really capitalise on the changes that will have to be made. I thnk the 1 to 1.5 million plus there is now watching it still, is near to the hard core audience,I don't think the hard core audience is anything like 1.25 million. Maybe as many have said on here, people will not be able to relate or attach themselves to these 'really good' overall housemates in this year, because they hardly see them. That was always going to be the problem without more footage. We don't know these people in the house, people don't like that, they want to know and see all they can of people to form opinions of and 'bond' a bit to them. Impossible with only 50 minutes a night covering 14 housemates. That I believe is why people have gone off this series, that does not mean, (hopefully), they won't watch another though with more footage and better planning. |
