Really good because the last two summer series officially averaged 3.00m and 3.18m (BB10 and BB11), so the overnight already beats the previous two series' 1st HL show.

C5 beats ITV in the 9pm slot by quite some margin, ITV had 2.6m including ITV+1.

Very good ratings.

is it me or is channel 4 just crumbleing to the ground, its nice too see channel 5 up with the big boys thought.

Erm BB10 averaged 2.5 and BB11 averaged 2.9

He's talking about the 1st HL show not series.

I mean the HL show. :p

What are the officials?

These are just overnights right?

Expecting another huge dip for last night, BB always does bad on a saturday.

I think ratings will fall hugely by wednesday.

You mean you're HOPING they fall hugely by Wednesday.

To be honest I do hope they fall, however that is not what made me make the statement. Its just logical they will. If they don't I will admit I was wrong though.

I can see it staying around 2.5 - 3M tbh. Normal BB on the other hand....

0.8 tonight

Really? :joker:

Why are you lying?

That is just my prediction :crazy:

Starting at 3M
and then everyone dropping out as the editing is so over the top! So by the end maybe 1.2M???

God i wanna find out now lol

Im such a dork about ratings and want it to do well.

You can get a good idea by the social buzz, references and mentions in your own daily life. Its interesting how often you will 'guesstimate' by that measure and see it validated in ratings.
I'm not hearing much. The launch yes. I heard a lot of people saying they wanted to see what the new one looked like.
Then nothing really.
Comments (whether at work or friends or twitter etc) comments seem lackluster, unexcited, brief.

In fairness, there is a bit of 'wait and see' for the regular season. Maybe we will be in for a bit of a pleasant surprise?
But I see this going to that 1.2 mark someone mentioned a few posts ago.

Last nights highlights show got 2.74m.

Hmm... not bad.

:)

:)

Thats the highest overnight figure in a while. It beats any BB10 or BB11 overnight.

I think CBB7 was roughly the same in overnights then jumped to just over 3 in officials

CBB8 = 2.74m 12.1%
BB11 = 1.88m 9.2%
CBB7 = 2.48m 9.4%

Bit on the side on 5* got 160k, tragic!!

Cant believe people on digital spy are basically saying its flopped lol

BB10 was getting under 2 million and BB11 only got under 2.7 every saturday.

Its an awful show.

I had to switch off the production is so ****ing poor.

The ratings should go up greatly again tonight

one week BB11 only got 2.1M (saturday) then managed 2.9M the day after (sunday)

Sex and the city :(

Highest rated Saturday since June 2008 :D

Tonight should surpass 3m!

Isn't SATC aimed at a more mature audience that watched the series? I think BB should be okay.

My god Channel 4 need to **** off with all these films they are really looking desperate.

BB is on at 10pm tonight, hope that doesn't affect viewers.

To be fair that Sex And the City hasn't been on Freeview TV before :)

Seeing as BB is on at 10pm on a Sunday is going to affect viewers.

Should be on at 9

Brilliant ratings :D Considering I wasn't expecting anything more than 1m for this series, I'm very pleased so far. Hope they can keep it up!

I think the problem is 5*, It lost like 80% of its audience from the night before when it was on C5

Doesn't help that it doesn't have a consistent channel either:

Sunday - 5*
Monday - C5
Tuesday - 5*
Wednesday - 5*
Thursday - C5
Friday - C5
Saturday - 5*

Honestly wouldn't be bothered if they cut it to 30 mins and gave us more time for highlights.

The production is just ammeture and theres so many awkward silences in between jokes and clips.

They need to drop the games and make it an actual discussion show with unseen footage.
