BB is dying. There is no way it can survive without C4 taking radical action. End of.
Oh dear. Can't you just enjoy the show without the constant moaning at C4, E4 or the website? So what if you think its a 'dying show' - I DON'T CARE. I'm trying to enjoy what we've been given without attacking anything related to the show.

For me, it's not C4 that's ruining the show - it's you people. I'm sick of constant "I WANT LIVE FEED BACK", "WHERES THE UPDATES?" and "BB IS DEAD - RATINGS LOW" threads. Get the **** over it. It's a TV show for one, its not to be taken so seriously. You know really know why last nights ratings were so low, but its any old excuse to prove that Big Brother is dying so that you feel C4 will take some action to do what you want.

I'm not surprised viewers have turned off in recent years, it's not exactly the same but its a still show which provides C4 with consistant ratings good enough for their network. If you beat the show too much, it'll go and I cannot wait to see the people on here moaning that it's gone for good.

Some people actually enjoy Big Brother for what it is - a reality TV show that gives you something to watch each night through the summer. Just a bit of fun. Taking it so seriously is where all the problems begin.
****K YES MARK! Somepeople on here, ie moaning about ratings and shitt really need to get a life. It's a tv show, enjoy it or ****k off.

If people like me don't continue to harp on, you will have no show to watch. It's that simple.

No, it won't. You know it'll get worse and worse. Look at the constant flood of unhappy people posting on the official C4 site. BB10 is haemorrhaging viewers at an alarming rate.

Because if C4 aren't beaten with a bloody big stick, they'll sit back on their clueless arses until the damage is so great, there will be no way back for the show.

Everyone who is saying "Just stop moaning and watch it", you need to get this in your heads:

The Channel 4 "cut off" point is 1.8. This means if ratings sink lower than the designated cut off then the show will be axed.

Last night got 1.9 mil. We have 14 weeks to go.

Can you not see why people are worried?
Wheres your proof for this so called cut off point?

Theres no way BB can survive with a mainstream audience either. BB is past it as the show it was, its time to face it. No matter what they do it won't change anything.

And the first h/l got so few viewers because...

And Saturday's show was watched by only 2.2 million because...

No Apprentice or significant competition on those nights.
And between 2.3m and 2.5m watched most BB9 Saturday shows. Not really much of a difference.

5.1m launch- might be lowest but still higher than last years final and still won its slot by quite some margin

Look, I know the negativity is irritating people but this is crunch time. We are witnessing the end of Big Brother. The quick-fix instant gratification audience and FM's aren't thinking long-term here.

These ratings are not enough to sustain another BB next year. People like President and especially Stentionhouse are assets to the BB community and are helping to raise awareness of the mismanagement of the show and their results because it effects everybody.

I think it's great that some people like the show as is, good for you, but you're in an ever decreasing minority. Ultimately we're all fans of BB but there's an unnecessary divide here between those who wish to remain ignorant of it's failiure and those that want to save it.

Of course there are differing opinions on how to save it ranging from flat out failiure so it can be picked up by a channel that'll do it justice, right to re-instatement of the red button coverage to widen access. Doing nothing and pretending it'll all be okay is not an option if you want to watch next year. While it might be relieving to swear at and ridicule those fighting for the survival of BB it's entirely rude and counterproductive.

Big Brother is a very strange idea and a totally addictive programme to certain people, when there is any real controversy almost everybody seems to have watched it, but like any tv format it needs to stay fresh, 1.9 million is still good as that is almost all hard core fans who will watch every episode, just not as high as other years
I don't blame C4 or the hm's but the people who run BB are very arrogant and think that no matter what they do it is 'right' and obviously they need to do something and quick, if they wish the better figures
Here's a radical idea, how about a person that doesn't swear every 5 mins and can hold an intelligent conversation, or am I wasting my time
Both Rex and Darnell got on my nerves but they were fairly knowledgable and worth listening to:spin2:

It was either Phil Edgar Jones that stated it somewhere or another producer. On there twitter or website.

That's how shows work, 1.9 mil may seem like a lot to people here but to buisnesses like C4 it is scraps. If a show sinks below a designated "Limbo line" the show is axed and another show is brought in to make up for those lost ratings - most often a film as that pulls in about 3-4mil to supplement the time as they figure out what will go in the free time slot.

It's a simple concept, and one that has been in operation for many years.

:bawling: i dont bb to go.
well i think they will carryon till the end of this bb10 and then will see. but nothing is happing next week. unless something major happens in bb to get the headlines. it will get lower and lower. i think 1.9 million isnt the lowest its gonna get i think the lowest its gonna get is about 900,000 at peak i dont want bb to go but if it goes for a few years then starts agian later i think it may have a chance. :spin:
