BB has been on at 10pm pretty much all the time on Channel 5 in previous years.

Have people suddenly started to go to bed earlier? :o If so are our sleeping patterns as human beings evolving?

This is ground breaking stuff.

Thanks for that really well thought out informative addition to the thread there.

It used to get low ratings at 10 in previous years as well the ratings are down because it's on at 10PM and it clashes with the football half way through no body would want to watch as show half way through

But its true you cant blame the ratings on it being on later because previous series have been on at the same time.

When it clashes with a big show then 100% yes but it really hasn't for a while.

The world cup isn't really competition anymore seeing as ratings aren't exactly mind blowing.

To be honest my post was sarcastic but contained more facts then whatever you have posted in a thread about ratings. You speculate and I go by the numbers provided officially and last nights ratings officially sucked anus.

As seen last Sunday the officials are good, so I'm not worried about overnights

Its not really clashing with football now and last nights England world cup final attracted less than 6 million but then like I said that didn't even clash with BB.

There was no competition last night and it still got 1.1 million theres no excuses these ratings are so depressing.

Its deserves far more the last week has had me gripped its been brilliant viewing.

I wasn't blaming the ratings on anything though or claiming that anything I posted was fact I was just adding my opinion to the discussion but anyway thanks for that one line up there of really well thought out information.

Yes it did the game kicked off at 9pm and lasted till 10:30pm

You're welcome.

What? The England game was on from 4pm till 6:30pm.

I think you're talking about Match of the day which got 4 million, not really a ratings smash either.

The world cup isn't really a massive threat now England re out, it still gets decent ratings but nothing really huge that dominates all channels.

There was no major competition for BB which got 1.1 million viewers just to reiterate last night.

4 Million is still big for 10PM so it is competition

Firstly it started at 9pm and the audience for that time slot is usually similar when the football isn't on.

The football is not to blame.

The officials are coming in quite well but im afraid that Viacom will be looking at overnights as surely people investing in the show want their ads to be seen prime time and not on demand.

Surely its not just me who can see these overnights are worryingly low.

I have a feeling civilian BB has an uncertain future especially when the match kicked of at 9pm and Channel 5's CSI was watched by 1.31 million in the same slot and other programmes faired better and had only a slightly less share on Channel 5.

BB has a good lead in tonight with The Hotel Inspector which usually gets around 1.7 on average I believe.

Love it :) but dunno if it has the same audience as BB.

Cmon BB you can do it!!!! lol Get that 1.5 like its 2013!!!

Brand New Home for £5k interested 831k (4.2%) at 8pm, followed by The Hotel Inspector Returns with 1.34m (6.3%) at 9pm. Big Brother: Power Trip continued with 1.06m (6.0%) at 10pm. :joker:

Meh. To be honest the shares are holding out well. That's always a good thing.

This is gettin bad.. Lets be honest

If we do get 3 cheerfull housemates friday night it will help pick up the show fingers crossed, but the damage looks like its allready been done now.

Ouch, these ratings are not good at all. I am watching the highlights from last night and it is like watching Eastenders but ten times worse. Just constant arguments.

The official rating shave been released from Barb, sorry the table is a little confusing but hopefully it makes sense.. Although the series isn't performing well it is however still near top of C5s top 20.

Damn...I know twitter isn't much to go by but the amount of tweets coming through, mainly about Helen made me think it was going to have such better ratings

Destroyed by The Dog Rescuers, can things get any worse

1.18 Million for live from the House though :love:

The share being 6% makes me feel slightly better.. We need new housemates i think!

The share is good. The ratings on face value not so much. I think the first few days being a damp squid was enough damage to stop people watching this series.

1.18m for live in the house just proves that people will watch live feed too. Channel 5 are missing out big time on that.

1.06m...

What was last nights excuse? Football? Hot weather? Everyone was partying? Everyone was sleepng? :laugh: :(
