Big Brother had 1.36m (8.0%) including +1 last night.

It had a 33% 16-34 skew. Up on the standard 26-28% skew it was getting prior to Love Island ending.

Tonight? Another 1.4m?

Big Brother: 1.27m (6.9%) excluding +1

That looks to be the 3rd consecutive 1.4m then with +1. Doing very well this week! Seems to me that this week has captured the public's attention. :clap1:

Also interesting week by week averages throughout the series:

Week 1- 1.33m
Week 2- 1.16m
Week 3- 1.06m
Week 4- 1.02m
Week 5- 957k
Week 6 so far- 1.24m (assuming last night got 1.4m)

Big Brother: 1.4m (7.6%) incl +1.

Third consecutive 1.4m rating :clap2:

Why is it ending so soon

So this is close to Frow's "magic number", then

I'm saying LI won the ratings war because during the end it was a consistent rating beating big brother. Snm

Here's the updated table:

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bb17/ratings/overnight

And the official table (which is obviously 2 weeks behind), this last week in terms of officials should be impressive 1.7m+

http://www.bbspy.co.uk/bb17/ratings/official

C5 (exc. +1)
Big Brother: the Evictions: 1.07m (5.8%)

Oh that's a bit of a drop :/ weird how the eviction was one of the lowest ratings of the week

Odd... that'll be around 1.2m incl +1.

I knew it would be a bit down as I reckon that Celebrity First Dates shares some sort of audience with it.

Tbh next week I see it going back down to 1.1-1.2m anyway.

I actually think it's only down slightly because it's a Friday. Fridays are starting to follow Saturday and are usually the second lowest rated episode of the week now. It's been that case for the last few series of BB/CBB because the younger audience is out, especially this week when the 16-25 demo was up a good 30% from love island viewers hoping over, wouldn't have been up that much last night as it was a Friday night. Nothing to worry about

I'm pretty sure Saturday has out rated Friday twice this series in consolidated ratings actually

It was a decent Friday for weather that's why.

Round up on last couple of ratings with +1:

Friday- 1.2m
Saturday- 870k

Broadcast hadn't posted last night's number but looks to be at around 1.1m including +1 judging by its excl +1 rating.

On the plus side: no more Love Island

BARB Officials are IN


As always all include +1, in brackets is what it got as an overnight.

Monday- 1.67m (1.18m)
Tuesday- 1.59m (1.17m)
Weds- 1.63m (1.12m)
Thursday- 1.56m (1.10m)
Friday- 1.55m (1.10m)
Saturday- 1.62m (1.12m) :shocked:
Sunday- 1.42m (1.00m)

Week average- 1.58m 80k up on previous week.

My God that Saturday rating! Is that then highest ever for civilian BB?

Official average so far- 1.56m

Wow :amazed:

I don't understand this new trend of Friday's doing worse than Saturday's though.

Not 1.62m being the highest ever when Saturdays used to get like 3m a decade ago :laugh:

I think BB12 and BB14's first Saturdays got higher as did Week 4 Saturday in BB14.

I was talking about C5 BB :p

I think it's fairly safe to say that, against the odds, this series has actually done remarkably well.

So how is this series doing compared to other C5 BB's?

Averaging the same as Power Trip I believe (I think that averaged 1.55 officially)

Well at lowest last year's BB16 got 1.36m.

It's on par with 12,13,15. The next 2 weeks officials roll determine whether it gets 1.5m it 1.6m.

I'm glad BB16 is staying as the lowest rated series ever

What's really impressive is that 200k out of 220k new viewers are all watching on catchup. In just a year, the way we watch has changed a lot!

And most nights getting near 500k in consolidation is incredible. That was incredible for CBB just this year so this is really good!

If it stays at that in next week's officials, most nights were 1.4m last week so that's 1.9m we could be looking at!

1.11m excl +1 last night so 1.2m incl +1 it seems.

Better than i thought to be fair with the hot weather. 1.2m seems to be the norm (and as long as that translates to ~1.6m official like it should, the series should be averaging that.

Big Brother: 1.2m (6.9%) incl +1

Seems stuck at 1.2m, which is good considering that should be 1.6m+ officials.

The official average as of the last officials update was 1.555m. So, with Annihilation week ratings to be released next Monday, it should bring it up to ~1.8m for 3 days, and that would bung the average up closer to a healthier 1.6, maybe 1.60m? Then if we continue getting 1.2m overnights, which will equate to over 1.6m officials, we should be on par with BB12, BB13 and BB15 at 1.6m officials lets hope!!

Right now 1.555m is too close to 1.5m.

BB12 got 1.55m average and BB15 got 1.57m.

I'm shocked that 15 had more viewers than 12 since it was C5's first series

Thanks. I hope that we can get past 1.57m then, it deserves to be higher than both them series!

So looking online:

BB12- 1.55m
BB13- 1.60m
BB14- 1.90m
BB15- 1.57m
BB15- 1.36m

How awesome would it be if Annihilation week which should get 1.7-1.8m and the next week can get 1.2-1.3m nightly to get 1.6m+ can have it hit over 1.60m?

I doubt it though, i feel it will average 1.56m.

BB13 also got 1.63m (if you want to be specific)

If only it got a bit more and hit 1.7m tho </3

You need to also take into account that BB12 didn't have C5+1 when it aired whereas BB15 did and it still got almost the same amount of viewers.

Without +1 BB15 would've averaged lower than BB12 so BB12 didn't do too bad to get 1.55m without +1.

I agree.

I'm just glad it's gone back to getting around 1.6m (that's a safe rating for C5 BB - it's like what 4.6m was to C4) as opposed to last year when it was scarily low in the 1.3m region.

BB17 has done really well given we all expected it to drop even further after BB16 :laugh:

Oh really, WIki said 1.60m.

I just realized BB14 got the same average as CBB16 :worry:

Axe Summer CBB!

That's what I thought too but then when you calculate the average of all the weekly averages it gives you 1.627m as opposed to 1.60m.

Hope this series beats 12 and 15

I've thoroughly enjoyed this series, think it deserved an extra week though. Official ratings have stayed consistent, even Saturday's. It should average out at 1.6 which is promising for it being recommissioned in the upcoming years. The eviction set obviously needs enlarging, not enough atmosphere with the crowd numbers. If they want the overnight numbers then next year they'll have to consider avoiding Love Island, simple. Worked well in the 10pm slot. It's amazing how nearly a third of viewers are using catchup services! I'm hoping CBB averages 2.0m+

C5 (exc. +1)
Big Brother: 1.07m (6.8%)
