Want a tampon?

Depends on the actual reasons for not watching it at present. If its because they cannot relate to the housemates by not knowing much about them and also, from such limited footage, not likely to get to know much about them either, then that can easily be put right in a future series.

CBB will be watched next year as it was this year so they still have that platform to use to announce big changes too.

If no changes come, then a more gloomy future,if any. lies ahead.I'd agree to that.

I still stand with the comment, some on here and who I talk to were not even predicting the current ratings,never mind averaging 1.5 million.

If it falls repeatedly below I million, that will be very bad, not disastrous,simply because of the Channel it is on.
Those figures would be unlikely to encourage further series but I am not at that doomwatch stage yet,I can with necessary and well planned changes still see a future for BB albeit possibly on a smaller scale.

Think, its only the first week. By the end its going to have such few viewers.

God this is awful :joker:

Hopefully its the kick they need to bring back LF for next series though.

Dreadful ratings. Ahwell i like this season:).

Seems like it's settled around 1.4 with about 400K 16-34. Still expect it to drop again slightly next week though.

Im dreading seeing Saturdays figures.

Its going to be the 1st time BB has ever fallen below 1 million.

The outlook is bleak ..... :sad:

What time?

Sunday :(

I'm not going to worry as to the ratings for this year now, it is next years that will be more important and I still think all the relevant and necessary changes needed will be in place by then.

I believe this years has been an experiment to see how 'cheaply' it could be done but if that hasn't worked then more will be done for next year.
In order to get Celebrities too to go in the one starting early next year it will need to be shown to them as a show that is believed in and also worth the celebrities while to take part in it.

This is not a trial run. This is supposed to be "BIGGEST BROTHER EVER!".

Its supposed to come back with a bang not fizzle out after 3 weeks.

I shouldn't laugh but ..... :joker:

Yeah this two series run of Big Brother is really just a crash test muck about haw haw haw.

Get real.

Has any british programmes beat Big Brother on C5? if they havent then dont worry yet as C5 get **** ratings.:joker:

Its Big Brother not Caprica.

:dance:

Back to reality, CSI, Cricket....to name a few.

Channel 5's ratings are not as bad as people make out.

1.18m.
Oh my dear.

That's horrendous for a Thursday night. :(

Catastrophe ..... :shocked:

Dreading Saturdays figures

Meh.... decent HL's show, the series was never going to be a hit, so I'm certainly not surprised. They've got a decent cast but not much else, they need to do bloody well to get some viewers in January.

Biggest bruva Ever more like the Biggest Balls up ever

Too early for the 'we told you so' email to channel 5 or should we wait a bit? :p

We should take a bet for the when we think the ratings will plunge beneath 1 million.

Saturday .....

a lot of us have been telling C5 this would happen since June of this year but now the ratings are in our favour and we are right,we should continue to push even more to make them see sense.
these ratings will cost with the free ads they will now have to give away just as c4 did in BB10.the expected ratings were around 2 million at the lowest so C5 are not rosy in their kingdom atm

smh

ratings revised down on DS to 1.16 million.Celebrity Juice getting 1.19 million

That is disastrous. I do not foresee the show being renewed beyond BB13. 1.1 million for a show that once got 10 million is saddening to see as a fan.

It doesn't matter about ratings, as long as we have fun watching it!

We won't be watching it for much longer with these kind of ratings though. :p

At least C5 was third, that's some consolation I suppose.

:laugh2:

i knew BB on 5 was going to fail but I never predicted it would be on the verge of plummeting below 1m viewers by the end of week 1 :joker: serves 5 right for completely ballsing it up in every way possible

Dying.

I agree, channel 5 could do better with the ratings, but they dont help themselves, show it at 9 or 9:30 every night without changing because i never seem to watch on a night as i am up for work at 5am every morning, i just sky+ it then skip through to bits that look exciting/interesting/not painfully boring when i get home from work the next day

Well i knowev eryones sick aout live feed thing but ive switched off because i want it now just carnt get to know them anyymore watched the celeb version but just not same :(

They messed up with CBB, it was a snorefest, CBB was BB's second chance and they failed to deliver big time so people have given up on the show. If CBB started things off with a bang then the ratings would have rubbed off on BB (which is tbf significantly better than CBB) and we would not be witnessing the dire viewing figures we are seeing now.
