Big Brother: 1.39m (7.7%) exc +1

Well that's bloody awful.

But expected.

They tried :clap1:

Did they try though? I mean, the promo....

Was awful.

More than I thought

At best, it's like 300k down on BB16 launch

What did love island achieve out of curiosity?

Plus side, it's already 90K up on time bombs dire 1.30m official ratings

It's going to be a LONGGGG series.

Especially against Olympics, the Euro's etc... in fact, I can barely watch at how bad the numbers will be!

Excl +1

Love Island: 0.55m (2.7%)

Around 700k incl. Certainly holding it's own.

Anyone else feel like Love Island is a better representation of the Big Brother we all want than the actual Big Brother is anymore? I'm far more into love island than ever before!

I've watched snippets, not my thing really, but I can see that it's captured the publics interest this time. And I can sort of see why.

problem with 1.3m for launch we know veiwers dip quite a lot afterwards so is this series going to dip under 1 million ;\

lol how long before they axe it? the hotel inspector is beating the launch night :shame:

Well, we don't know what the +1 figure, with a 1.4m excl it will be a ~1.6m.

But your point still stands, if BB16 launched at 1.8m like it did, and then dipped to 0.9-1.0 the first weekend, then we can certainly expect that this year.

IMO, last night got 1.58m incl +1, and tonight will get 1.21m.

I think they will be similar when +1 is added.

But still, I agree. THI is cheap af.

The Hotel Inspector is a good show! It's a shame but you can't get too hung up on the ratings.

I mean it does seem like the last two really have scared people off tho

For sure.

if i didn't feel this weird sense of loyalty to the show after sticking with it for 10+ years then i wouldn't have bothered checking out the launch after bb15 and 16 either tbh...

Erm...I don't really know what to say to that.
I think I'm actually not going to bother following the ratings this year. Especially if it's a good series...which with that figure and the way they chased ratings last year I don't think it will be. I'm actually stunned.

I'm really shocked too tbh

honestly it's dead :sad: we need a miracle guys

Like....that's the launch.

Daniel and Jack are going to have strokes when they see this :worry:

The debate got 4.1m. I dunno how much that would have eaten into BB...it's hardly the same type of audience.
