Someone needs to scrub up on their English.

aww

I said that it came fourth in it's slot not including +1(s), not that the rating I posted didn't include +1.
I don't think me, you or anyone anywhere expected a documentary about cats to almost match CBB8's launch though.

Can't believe how bad the ratings were, I really did it would get around 2:8m mark, it was such a good launch as well, very disappointed about the ratings.

Extremely disappointed with just 1.99m for its first run, and even the +1 doesn't do any favours.

Though I do seem to recall BB13 about 2.7m for the overnights and it got boosted up to just over 3m if I'm right? Hopefully the official ratings will get it to 2.5m this year.

Intriguing program tbh. Admittedly, I did watch BB instead of it but I will be watching the cats thing.

People didn't miss much not tuning in anyway.

The split launch caused this.

If I hadn't been on this forum and a fan I wouldn't have known it was on.
Didn't see one ad. :idc:

Some people saying twitter trends is enough promo...:laugh:

Yes I know but I did say it wouldn't get 3 million due to lack of promo and you made out I was wrong to think otherwise.

Just calling you out.

Cost is relative like Frow and others decided better to spend 100k on buying off Brian's contract.

I don't think for one moment sticking a decent amount of coverage on will lump 2 million viewers back but truly yet again BB is on and the updates are crap its dead there's no sense of involvement they expect you to tune in at allotted times and expect that to carry the momentum on till the next day.

We had Jeff ford for nearly two years telling people this was the new vision of Bigbrother along comes frow and almost ripped apart everything BB on C5 was about.

apparently there's odds of 25/1 BB being axed Midseries before that happens I truly hope Ben Frow throws caution to the wind and moves the 2hr feed till later in the night and adds maybe and extra hour.

Its extreme but I would drop the Mole just pretend he had enough and walked and just let them get on with it they can still have viewers vote on what BB should do.

And would be looking at maybe a shock triple eviction in 2/3 weeks then adding some grounded Hm's who are going to give viewers fun and be there for just that a lot of them last night clearly just there YET again to join the Zlist.

Its not surprising but its still high enough to secure the short term future with Channel 5 I think. They are probably still happy with the result.

This wasn't just down to promo, that would have played a big part, but the part that Horizon doc played will have been bigger, Happy Families and Alien Abductees flopped too and they had decent promotion, the former, great.

They wouldn't axe BB mid series.

Gutted about this, it was a great launch :(
How is it in terms of channel 5's average ratings though?

3 million yes If what frow wrote about money being a key issue they will be gutted by this.

feel sorry for Emma because she was utterly amazing last night I thought even better than Davina. She really showed why Brian had to go because the guy just couldn't install any sense of a Grand launch, Emma did.

When I read the stories about the HM's being more grounded I thought with all the other changes it was going to happen but loads of them were just the same old Zlisters waiting to happen.

that being said it might shock us all and the numbers wont drop much lower and last night the truly loyal fanbase were the only ones that cared so watched.

Even if it stays the same the average will still be down due to the low launch which will give Channel 5 an excuse to axe the summer series.

C'mon if this series had billboards and a few ads during Emmerdale/Corrie then it would have been a different story.

It could have easily hit 3 million with the right ad campaign.

Looking at Twitter last night there was so many tweets with people not even realising it was on.

Such a shame.

This is terrible

Big Brother 2013 in Brazil had the worst launch ever with 25 million compared with 33 million last year is very bad.


Hopefully it happens the same thing happened here that the shoq managed to recover and had the final with 29 million compared with 26 million last year.

edit

Not that great but I don't care about the ratings anymore

trending on twitter isnt enough..

ino on my iphone i have to go to another page to look at tending topics, which i never do -_- so i can imagine alot of people dont

It would be amazing if this series could build.

It has the potential if the media still keep reporting on it as much as they are at the moment.

Luckily there are no articles in the sun, mirror, star etc about the disastrous ratings last night so fingers crossed they haven't cottoned on lol.

Plus Emma is amazing and im sorry her series should not be rating lower than Brians.

It's good ratings for C5 though. If this was on BBC or ITV then I'd see what the fuss was about, but C5 are lucky to even get over 2 million viewers, lets be honest.

No its not.

CSI gets over 2 million sometimes and a lot of Channel 5 shows get between 1 and 1.7 million so BB is just gonna be on par with them or lower for the highlight shows by the looks of it.
