It's literally like watching a car crash in front of us, it's so bad.

Here are the +1 for Thursday-Sunday:

Thursday- 1.01m
Friday- 1.14m
Saturday- 670,000
Sunday- 950,000

The only one that doesn't look horrific is the eviction. I'll give Saturday the benefit of the doubt, but seriously Sunday and last night!! We are waiting for last nights +1, even though it probably will be under 850k.

Officials are out later for the first 6 days. And no matter how you look at it, they will look bad, because they will need to add at least half a million to look decent, when it will probably be less than 300k.

I wonder how low Channel 5 allow the show to go before they decide to do something drastic. These are bad ratings, but I wonder what the breaking point is for C5.

These ratings are just so strange. It's not particularly an amazing series, but then it's not a car crash either (in terms of entertainment). For 2016 they really need to analyse this series and see what points need to be improved on.

Last night was 872,000 with +1. So bad!

Gotham ended it's run with a series low of 729,000 with +1. Benefits Street dropped to 1.5m, down from the huge 4.5-5.0m it was doing last year. BB did beat Ch4 in the 10pm slot though.

Every channel did badly last night bar the BGT performances, even the BGT results were 1.3m down on last years first result show and got 6.9m (when you think about the fact the first 6 audition shows were averaging 11m-11.5m). People have just disappeared from TV.

I just think every tv channel apart from itv is doing crap this summer.

I don't get it. I really don't get it. This series deserves so much better. :(

And only BGT is doing good for ITV anyway, and Corrie. Lets not forget that last Weds ITV broke a record for a 9pm show. Lowest 9pm non Tuesday rating ever with 900k with +1 :laugh: Things have gone under 1m on Tuesday as it's known as the "death slot", but 900k on a Wednesday is just unbelievable.

BBC1 is even struggling which rarely happens, their dramas are dropping like rocks. The only exception is the surprise hit Peter Kay's Car Share which has been getting between 4.5-4.9m and Graham Norton Show which is still managing over 3m.

What has BOTS been getting?

I think its time to rest bbuk and maybe just carry on with cbb twice a year

There probably doing a safe house twist this week try and boost ratings.

If they did I can imagine it being a really rushed last minute room too like the one they put together for Perez in January. :laugh:

(but seriously I'm so sick of secret rooms, they'd better not do that)

yeah thats true! Although think it will be like a proper double eviction with a proper secret house, it could be at the top of the house behind the kitchen as the task room is at the bottom.

Probably be like Gina and Dexter double fake eviction, think that was last minute decision!

Or maybe... just maybe... Start listening to the fans of the show and bring back the 24/7 live coverage (too late to save this years debacle), a good website, and put a bit more thought into the housemates. Why they would pick men who are younger and weaker than all of the women in there is beyond me.

I am fed up with people trying to put this down to the format of the show and it needing a rest, when the truth is they need to return to the original format, go back to basics (in a more modern form) and stop alienating the fans.

So no officials?

Tue- 2.1million
Wed- 1.38m (no +1)
Thur- 1.43m (no +1)
Fri- 1.45m (no +1)
Sat- Less than 990k, but 134k on +1
Sun- 1.37m

averaging 1.45 for the first week

so is that the officials? is it good? i'm guessing it is but i honestly dk

not that good but not disastrous

Looks dire to me. The 2.1 figure from the opening night makes it look slightly better, but the week 2 average will be less than 1.4 and week 3 will go down further.

What were yesterdays ratings?

axe ha

3 ratings without plus 1

So far it's lower than last years average then, which was 1.6m.

May launch has killed it

You do realise it has been a bank holiday with very nice weather? I think TV was least of everyone priorities

why do people always think of crap reasons for these **** ratings!

ohhh it was good weather :)
ohhhhhh people have exams they have to revise hehe :)
ohhhhhhhhh it was a bank holiday everyone was outside having a nice bbq :)

i am enjoying this series though
