Some Facts

Last summers first highlights was a Wednesday with 1.6m - the Friday got 1.2m so this is 200k up and 200k down
Januarys first highlights was also a Wednesday with 1.4m and the first Friday (a live launch special) ALSO got 1.4 million

So basically it's exactly on par with the last 2 series, but taking into account it was a regular Friday episode, it can be seen as more of a success. (it's also very rare for a summer CBB to me matching, or beating, January)

why is that funny :shrug:

but 200k is still a lot in a 17 million country?

Oh right. I think the fact that it was a Friday dented the ratings a bit, last summer's first Friday rating was only 1.2m so it's up 200k

I think its about a standard drop, quite decent when incorporating the fact that its a Friday. What will really be the test is the next several nights after tonight, as Saturdays are always very low. I think the whole Stormy thing has dominated the narrative and will take a few more days to fade into the background as people settle into focusing on who is in there as opposed to who isnt. The show definitely has promise though, based upon the first highlights episode, which was entertaining.

So we’re at the fair to middling stage then basically. Not quite panic stations just ever so slightly spchinter tightning?

Oh my god.

It got 1.4m incl +1

Highest Friday Rating since CBB18. All Friday's last year were lower. It was also higher than the first Friday of the January series.

So it's not that bad. First Friday last summer got 1.17m.

The real test is tomorrow.

First Sat last year got 800k.

Look it's not great but its not that bad its just a bit MEH.

Tonight's will obviously be low and the press will have a field day with it rating below a million but I have high hopes for this cast. Viewers are very fickle and were probably turned off by the boring launch show but lets pray for a miracle and hope CBB does a Love Island and grows in ratings.

The N word on night 1 bodes well for a messy series

Last nights CBB got over 1.02 million viewers 7.5 share.

I was certain it would fall under 1 million so this is good sign.

Ginos show only got 670k cant believe they moved CBB to 10pm for that **** lol.

1.02m (7.5%) inc+1

Decent for a Saturday.

Gino’s weird show that it was moved for got 674k.

It hasn't dipped below 1mil yet is this the best ratings channel 5 in years or

Well, I wouldn’t go that far, but it’s doing alright. It’s up YOY from CBB20 every night so far. Last night by 200k!

So like basically it's flopping

Not the highest rated summer BB Saturday in a couple years! :love:

Our Roxy's impact :love:

Natalie's impact more like, she runs L.A

Well...

Last night only amamnged 1.10 million (5.4%)
Pretty bad looking for a Sunday, especially only up 0.08m on Saturdays 10pm show? Wtf is that all about! Still only down on last year for the first time by just 40k... Hopefully this was just a blip cause this series doesn't deserve to flop like that

Mess :skull:

Hope it can rise but it's not looking good

nope it's truly the end of CBB as we know it :fan:

Don’t do that Nicky. It’s neither funny or necessary.

:joker: :joker:

That rating has not improved my mood. Back to bed.

Well that sucks :(

tbh would you have expected higher viewer ratings, i think ratings could've been worse :shrug:
