it could still get 1.2-3 with plus 1, JoJo eviction got 140k on +1

That's not as bad as it could have been, especially for BOTS. It's still a **** rating but considering the competition and length of the show it's not that bad. +1 should take it up to at least 1.1m.

When you note that it was up against Corrie and BGT, 1.04m is actually good. I expected 800k with +1, but this looks like it will be 1.10m or something with +1. It will be interesting if we get the breakdown and see how much the show climbed in its 2nd hour when BGT finished.

That rating for BOTS is fantastic though, it's around about what BOTS got for CBB in January. 800k+ for a show that's 11pm-midnight is very rare for CH5. So, weirdly enough, that many people (despite people moaning online) still wanted to watch a 3rd hour of BB.

Also, BB beat 8 Out of 10 Cats for the first time this year, it got 930,000 excl +1, down from it's average of around 1.3-1.4m.

It just means people stuck around to see the 4 housemates who are no longer on the show on BOTS. Hardly a great success is it? Those 4 housemates are gone for good.

Of course they did. They probably wanted to see if one of the 4 people evicted thumped a presenter/producer.

I love how people try to dress this up as a success.

Interested to see what effect this will have tonight, Sunday and into next week

Maybe maybe not. But this is the highest BOTS of the series, so people still obviously wanted to see the aftermath. So the BOTS rating is more noteworthy than the show itself. We'll see on Sunday if it falls further, stays the same or climbs. We won't know until Sunday-Friday next week if this stunt worked.

That BOTS rating though :clap1:

No matter how you see it, it IS a successful for THIS series. It was up against Corrie and especially BGT. I'm surprised it wasn't under 800k. People were predicting well under 1m for last night and I thought it'd die on its ass. But in fact the BGT results were the lowest of the week, so some would say that BB may have taken a few hundred thousand off BGT.

End of the day, producers will be happy that they received the highest excl +1 rating since the last eviction despite facing BGT and Corrie. If it was a normal eviction, it would have been down to half a million levels.

Yes but what is noteworthy about the show? The 4 housemates who got the figure up are now GONE.


I enjoy your optimism but the whole thing is a total disaster.

Tbh

No it's not.

I wasn't. And the second half was not up against either.

Have you seen the negativity surrounding what happened last night? It has got so bad I wouldn't be surprised if people watch tonight out of curiosity. But that will not help this show in the long run. They have killed Big Brother and trying to salvage anything positive from the mess they have created is hilarious to me.

I mean think of it this way, Eastenders also clashed with BGT and declined to 4.3m.

BGT ruins everything, when in fact BB was up against its average up against BGT. That's what I'm saying. The thing yesterday was to see how much BB would fall up against the biggest show of the year, and the answer was, it didn't fall, it actually climbed.

I thought 800k for the main show so I'm surprised

A success for this series, IT WAS. THIS series, not previous series, THIS series. A success means that it got MORE than what it was previously getting. Im not comparing it to 2 years ago or whatever, I am comparing it to THIS year. THIS one, not another one. And when looking at the rating, the stunt kind of did work, because 80% of the audience followed in watching BOTS when usually it's 40%.

Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a fan of the idea either, but you cannot judge how it will do until we see what happens next week.

If (but it won't happen) the series grew next week, will you still lie and say the stunt didn't work just because you hated it?

Of course it got more, it was the most desperate stunt in the history of the show. But it has killed the show stone dead and left nothing but negative feelings towards it.

They followed to watch the evicted housemates who are now gone for good from the show.

Yes, there is a negative feeling but those people will probably want to watch if something happens.

And how do you know that they only watched to see the evicted HMs? Do you have proof of that? Just like I don't have proof that it will either succeed or fail next week, do you have proof that the 800,000 people tuned in for those evicted people? Do you? Is there a way? You won't have proof until you survey the 800k. So, no we don't know. Just like we don't know whether Live Feed would help the show by 10 viewers, 100k viewers or a million viewers.

Will be very interesting to see how the ratings pan out these next few days.

The main show didn't do too bad considering it was up against BGT and Corrie.

That BOTS rating though, wow, well done to them!

I'll wait till tonight's highlights to comment on whether the show is getting better ratings because no doubt some will tune out if their favourites went last night but a few may tune in following what's been going on this last week.

I don't really think C5 should be expecting anything more than 1.2-1.3 million this week but we'll have to wait and see.

The BOTS rating is fantastic and the producers and executives should start taking other factors into consideration such as BGT week how everything as someone pointed out has declined in ratings this week but also look at the share I doubt for most of their shows they get over a 5% share.

I won't be looking at tonights one because Saturdays never determine whether the previous night was a success. I mean last Sunday got 950,000 incl +1 I think, so I reckon if they get 1.1m, they will probably deem it as a success, I'd classify 1.2m next week a success, not 1.1m.

You're sounding like a combination of Veri and Dancc on DS. What is the point of all of this? The show has been mutilated. It's like looking for positives after being confronted with a rape victim. People hung around to see the 4 evicted housemates. What else would they have hung around for?

Let's just say this series somehow went up 1.4 million now. It would still be a disaster. The show is quite possibly the worst thing on television and you're so busy looking at the ratings you're failing to notice the sheer awfulness of it all.

No ones expecting record breaking ratings this year so I guess we might as well just be happy when we see an increase. If we even find negatives in a 100k+ increase in overnight figures and huge boost to BOTS then why are we even on this forum? :laugh:

Why would people be happy to see an increase in ratings for something so obviously crap?

omg is there anything you like about BB?

My only worry is alot of bb fans will now stop watching after last nights massacre, theyll be pissed off, raitings could bounce over the weekend with the casual veiwers but they could be lost by the end of next week, could leave the raitings in a worser state.
