Agreed. Producers need to go back basics. It would be great if the housemates entered to a replica of the very first house - chickens, blue walls, purple chair, the lot - with hidden, extra features to keep it fresh. I miss the social experiment feel that BB used to have.

Oh, and Marcus Bentley needs to pipe down! Haha.

Don't think bb1 would work these days kids of today want drama in the house which I don't mind but not all the time bb1 would feel very dated if they did that now as well maybe a bb5-7 feel

It's easy to wish for something, but when it does happen, you will be disappointed, trust me. It won't work.
BB1-4 wouldn't work these days.

I remember during BB14, everyone was annoyed that they didn't use the Secret and Lies theme, throughout the whole series. Then when they used Power Trip, through out, look how that turned out?

I think they need to go back to BB5-BB7.
That was the heydey of Big Brother, and the game hasn't changed much since.
They just need less manipulation, normal nominations, original, but occasional twists and bunch of good housemates, and great tasks.
BB14 was the closest resemblance to a series like BB7, on C5.
CBB13, was like BB5.
BB15 was like BB8, only nastier. With the constant meddling, manipulation and twists.

BOTS 1.2 million (8%)

Fanatastic rating for bots to hold onto over a million till 11:30.

I hope so.
Didn't KP's entry live feed get 800K?

I'd like to think it hasn't dropped too much since.
350K is bad.
No wonder why they won't bring it back.

I don't think 350k is really bad for a show airing from 11:30 till after midnight.

So this is the first year that CBB where every Saturday episode has got over 2 million with +1.

With only 6 more episodes to go I think its now safe to say this is the highest Channel 5 CBB to date.

If we have a ratings surge this last week with all the evictions and stuff happening and a final over over 3.5 million it could be higher in a major way.

Im looking forward to tomorrows officials :) and the joy of seeing the highlights hitting over 3 million [emoji14] This series every week has climbed in the weekly averages.

CBB15 current officials average is 3.15 in comparison to CBB6 on Channel 4 of 3.3 is it possible with officials hitting over 3 million and with a good rating final CBB15 could beat a Channel 4 series which was aired 6 years ago?!

I mean looking at the final week of CBB6 is embarrassing only 1 highlight show hit 3 million and most were under 2.5. The final for CBB6 also drew 3.5 million viewers and its safe to say CBB15 will top that. CBB6 was helped out by a high rated launch of over 6 million and I think that's the only reason their official even climbed to 3.3.
