:bawling:

...and they're gonna be even lower tonight!

Thats including plus 1 aswell.

I wanted it to be over 4 million

Compare that to last years and its dissapointing. Compare it to what CH5 are getting without CBB (800k) and its pretty good.

i was so not expecting that ****ing awfull 3.5 million should be axed now i dread to think how many the highlight show will get :/

Peaking at 4.34 gets me when last year peaked at 8 million at one point.

Proof that twitter and facebook don't mean anything.

That was the reach not the peak.

Seriously? You think it should be axed because it got lower ratings than you wanted? What kind of fan are you?

Why do you people even care about the ratings? Just enjoy the show!

Besides, those ratings are hardly abysmal. Higher than BB12 got.

God almighty. It's like an Emos Anonymous meeting.

So much better than last year too. :(

it didnt peak at 4m it peaked at 3.8m!!!!!!!

It's just another show now. I mean that in a kind of consoling way. It's not a major television event. Why expect it to get major television event ratings?

Also confirms my scepticism towards the whole "we need more advertising!" thing. Most people tend to know a new BB is starting. Advertising doesn't help a damn, for the most part.

It peaked at 4.34m at 10pm

Dissapointing. I expected 6 million because it was the talk of the town today.

I was sorting thinking 5m with how much it was talked about on Twitter AND FB.

well everyone was saying 3.8 now there saying 4.4 somthing dodgey going on.

Whos everyone?

You're the only person ive heard saying that.

Excluding +1, it averaged 3.46m.

The Twitter and Facebook buzz might indicate that at least the viewing figures won't drop from launch as much. More people might stick with it.

I know Digital Spy tweeted a peak of 3.8m.

Don't know of anyone else who did though.

Very true. Even still, the audience share (the most important aspect) was VERY good considering.

edward g said it peaked at 3.8 but obv not to go from 5.1 to 3.5 somthings up for sure.

BB attracts a young audience and one that is very likely to talk about things online. That easily explains the buzz online.

I can see the series averaging about 2.1 million.

It would be amazing if it improved week on week though.

It got twice as much as I predicted ..... ;)

I'll predict an average audience of 800k ..... :laugh2:

Absolute proof if that's the result.

I am genuinely shocked though, after all the hype last night, I was expecting at least 5m.

i'll be honest i was hoping for something spectacular like 8.5m but the result isnt that bad, its got enough people interested and should be a good series
