But 1 of the football matches include teams from other countries like last weeks match which got awful rating of about 1.5m, so we dont have to worry about that. We have to worry about the Arsenal one though.

It will be a disastrous week for BB i feel.

Arsenal match finishes at 10 so that one should hold up well with +1 and the one on Friday is the Super Cup which noone really cares about atm plus its an eviction. Won't be the best of weeks but I don't think it will be a disaster, everything will still be above 2m (maybe apart from tomorrow)

I don't think the football will dent the show that bad.
The UEFA Super Cup (Friday) never rates well even when an English team is in it, so it wont clash with Big Brother's audience much if at all.
The Arsenal match may cause a slight problem but with Champions League qualifiers never rating that well either, it not being that big of a match and C4+1 it shouldn't dent Big Brother too much
However Sunday will be down, I don't get why C4 are showing a film which they have shown many times before in a slot which will effect other shows.

But at least C4 have scheduled the finale nicely, its not as bad as last years. Not clashing with EE will mean the first show surely wont do that bad and the second show starting at 10 could draw a few extra viewers who are finding something to watch at that time. I expect a peak of 4million for that second show

The annoying thing is that the 9pm is the slot that BB does much better in, but all the 9pm shows this week are up against strong competition and matches, and then all the 10pm do worse. So with both 10pm shows doing badly and 9pm competition, BB is in trouble.

Or we can look at the bright side, maybe the XF will give BB a boost, most people are out on Saturday nights, but XF is on, and millions of people will stay home and watch it, so if those people that watch XF dont go out clubbing when its finished, they could possibly tune into BB as BB starts 30 mins after XF finishes.

Do the ratings take 40D into consideration?

Also the reruns on E4/C4 the following day.

Good thinking

1.7m for BB last night.
Friday shows still not released for some reason.

Im happy about 1.7m because:
1. Its a Saturday, 1.7m is an average Saturday rating.
2. Up against Michael Macintire which got 4.6m
3. Up against Xtra Factor which got 1.3m on ITV2
4. Up against The Cube that got 5.5m on ITV2 after XF lead in.

Didnt damage the BB ratings at all.

They do in the officials, the officials normally add around 300,000 onto the +1 rating.

2.4m and 2.1m for Friday, looks like its tailing off now its near the end

NOT INCLUDING +1 FRIDAY:

Friday (1)- 2.4m (will be around 2.6m-2.7m when +1 is added)
Friday (2)- 2.1m (Again the eraly finish ruined it, would have got 2.5m if you take the early finish into account)

the 2.1m is because it finished 8 mins early, reported the 2nd show actually got 2.5m if not counting the finish.

Also they dont include +1.

Imo, when the officials come in, both Freddie's and Bea's interviews will add a huge number to the rating

Very good for Saturday considering the increased opposition this week

1.7m is a good result actually for saturdays ratings

I think XF auditions next week could lose quite a lot of viewers imo. I've never seen such negative feedback. On all the forums, X factor forums, DS forums, Yahoo, XF website, around 90% of the comments are very negative over the new format. XF could be in trouble, especially during auditions, it will pick up during Live Shows obviously.

I like XF and everything but Im annoyed about Simon Cowell slagging BB off, how would he like it if XF loses so much viewers in 1 week?

We could see an XF decline like we have seen with BB.

School of Rock is on, do you think it will rate well?
BB will do lower than usual because of the time change but maybe the film lead will help?

I think taking all things into account, the ratings will be just about the same as a normal sunday night HL show

I don't think there will be a huge effect on Big Brothers audience tonight
This forced new slot tonight wont help it but we are down to the core audience with Big Brother who should follow and watch the show wherever it is scheduled so it wont be massively down.

Yeah maybe. SOR will probably get around 2.4m because of being advertised, BB will get around that imo.
Im just quite excited to see the officials of Week 10 because Freddie's eviction will be high. Stuipid early finishes ruin everything.

But how come 40D is being really weird these last few weeks, some HL shows of the week are missing.

4OD is generally pretty shiite, i wouldnt expect anything different. If i miss an episode, i dont bother catching up :thumbs:

WEEKEND INCLUDING +1

Friday(1)- 2.6m
Friday(2)- 2.3m (Would be 2.7m without the early finish, may break 3m in officials)
Saturday- 1.7m

Sunday did awful- 1.8m

I knew that the time change 10:10pm-11:20pm was weird!

:shocked::shocked:

Where do you get the figures from?

Wow thats dodgy lol, 1.8m :/

i think 2.0m for today is likely

Channel 4 Overnights puts them up first, and then later they are put up on Inside BB and then DS.
