It's up against Russell T Davies's new drama cucumber tonight that's been advertised the hell out of.

I'm guessing 2.3, DIP and Cucumber appear to be popular!

Isnt that on e4 though?

That's 1 million viewers maximum I think.

Im going to record it hoping its as good as Queer As Folk!

Im interested to see if it can bounce back tonight I have been waiting for a ratings drop but it seems to be more than steady.

I'm guessing 2.6 tonight. Off the topic, Patsy's eviction is going to have the most unenthusiastic crowd reaction, ever.

So the first set of officials added around 500K to the overnight ratings...

3.27 - LAUNCH - 3.64
2.55 - 3.03
2.31 - 2.76
2.25 - 2.84
2.69 - 3.23

With that in mind I've predicted what the other overnights will look like when they're officially announced...

2.40 - 2.90
2.52 - 3.02
2.57 - 3.07
2.63 - 3.13
2.92 - 3.42
2.56 - 3.06
3.22 - 3.72
2.62 - 3.12
2.96 - 3.46
2.30 - 2.80

Looking at a current series average of 3.15 est. Hope this is helpful to anyone.

No, that's Banana. There's three in total, Cucumber on 4, Banana on E4 and Tofu on 4oD, and somehow they're all supposed to inter-connect with each other.

Getting back to the ratings though, I can't predict which will have the higher rating..

Do we thing c4s new drama cucumber will be a threat to cbb tonight I don't think it will

I really don't think so seeing as CBB has such a big +1m following now.

I think Channel 4 wont even get 2 million its not as taboo as it was back in 1999.

I was right just 1.2m for cucumber last night looking to see what cbb got

2.32m without plus one for cbb last night can't find the plus one figure

Thats great and already a boost from wednesday

Hmm ratings taking a bit of a dip. Last night was such a good episode.

If +1 can add 400/500k then spot on but if not then I think people are defo strating to switch off.

Its not a dip it a very good finger and death in paradise would of hade most of the veiwers last night

Yeah we're just waiting for the +1 figure, but it's a shame it's a bit of a dip, so would be great if its a big +1, but not too sure! I'm just hoping for a 3m+ official, so that would mean, it would need to average ~2.6m overnights daily. So for me, as long as it gets around 2.6m a night, then we are all good!

Shame about then dip in ratings but hopefully tonight's eviction can regain some of the lost viewers.

It is a slight dip in live viewers actually.

Lets just wait and see what +1 adds.

Although the figures are defo dipping, they are still good but not as good as we thought given the supposed boost to the series in the shape of KP.

She seems to have been a brain fart and its hard to see how they can make her relevant unless the rumours of Alex going in are true. Dane is totally irrelevant as he is scared to speak up against her and \I doubt Alex will put himself up for a ridicule. I think they have a CH5 documentary on the table somewhere for her in the future, hence her inclusion on the show now because her reported hot topic and massive storyline has dies a very horrible a wet death.

Personally I think the dip is due to KP fans coming on board but slipping away as they are not CBB fans and Katie is no longer a show storyline anymore. She has gone to bed counting the 500,ooo smackers she got for 2 weeks work doing very little bar slagging of her x partners and present hubby.

The thing is they only really dipped on Wednesday up against the NTA's Lets not forget Tuesday pulled in almost 3 million viewers again.

The +1 figures have been adding up to 500k so I think we need to see what the rating is then before we can really judge it.

That's a good rating without +1, if it can get like 300-500k then thats 2.7-8, which is excellent for CBB.

Broadcast has this rounded up figure:

Celebrity Big Brother was next in line with a respectable 2.7m (11.8%) for Channel 5, ahead of ITV’s Bring Back Borstal, which slipped by 200,000 from last week to register 1.7m (7.7%).

So added quite a bit! Will post the more accurate rating when it comes out!

For the 3rd week running, CBB came 2nd on the Thursday in its slot beating ITV. To be fair, Bring Back Borstal is good, it's odd that it's flopping so hard.

Last Thursday got 2.63m and a share of 11.5% so higher share last night!

2.7 is a good rating and a possible 3 million official again there.

On average it's looking to add around 450k official on average so yep, should be comfortably above 3m... around 3.10m-3.15m I would guess.

2.7 is a fine rating

More accurate.. It got 2.65m incl +1. This was up 20,000 from last Thursday, up by share, and also up on the 3rd Thursday rating of last January which got 2.37m.
