I'm predicting 1.9 inc. +1! For Tonight :hugesmile:

Amazing! I was worrying that the ratings were going to dip after seeing Wednesday's viewing numbers, but thankfully it has bumped back up again. Great share too!

Annoying we don't know the +1, but it will be around 70k, so last night was around 1.67m incl +1.

Tonight, I reckon around 1.78m which would make it the 2nd highest joint with Dan's eviction, I still don't think Sallie's 1.83m will be beaten. Dan's eviction got 1.78m and Callum's last week got 1.76m.

Also, even excl +1, last night was the highest rated Thursday show.

Competition for tonight:
9PM
BBC 1 - Fields of Blood (Got 3.36 million yesterday night, I expect less today as yesterday was the first episode)
BBC 2 - Natural world: Shrilanka Elephant Island (Don't know much. Guessing bad ratings)
ITV 1 - Doc Martin (Last week 3.03 million overnight)
Channel 4 - 8 out of 10 cats does countdown (1.42 exl. +1 last week. Good competition for channel 4. 4th highest rated show 2 weeks ago according to BARB)

So overall very tame competition at 9PM

10PM
BBC 1 - BBC News at 10 (That's some good competition. Ranked 17th on BBC1 with 4.39m 2 weeks ago. But people who watch big brother don't normally switch over to watch the news!)
BBC 2 - The Trip (Got 890K overnight last week. No worries!)
ITV 1 - ITV news (Not too sure, doesn't rank in the top 30 but I would expect 2m roughly)
Channel 4 - Sarah Millican Chatterbox live (Not sure as it's a new series but she is very popular so this could rate well. Well for Channel 4 that is :joker:

Sorry to make a triple post but I think this eviction will absolutely smash it in the ratings. A lot of casual viewers will think that this is the final eviction and therefore most important!
Plus the laughable competition will help so much. About 2m including +1

Is that how much ITV and BBC have been getting? 3 or 4 million? How can some people say BB gets horrible ratings then? It's not that far away from those numbers!

Yeah. Not including soaps BBC 1 and ITV struggle to reach the 5 million mark even though it's weekly

Last night was brilliant.

Im going for 1.8 but it deserves 2 million.

Hazel owned that crowd and Emma tbf she should never have gone over Gina who was about to be exposed as the game player.

Anything my pretties? :xyxwave:

Saturdays take longer.

Anything ?

Nothing on any channels yet.

Think the people at barb are sitting in a beer garden somewhere.

Good rating for last night but it deserves more I think.

1.72 including +1

1.57m (8%) while a further 153k (1.1%) +1.

Big Brother's Bit on the Side followed with 861k (6.9%) at 10.30pm.

good rating, especially so far on in the series.. Shocks me how much BOTS gets if i'm honest because it's just terrible

Article in OK! about rise in ratings.


IT's been a hit.

Big Brother 2013 has been a hit in the ratings.

As the Channel 5 show nears the big finale, it has been revealed that viewing figures for this year's series have gone up since last year.

The 'Secrets and Lies'-themed show has been watched by an average of 1.5 million people, 12% more than 2012.

The show has kept viewers hooked with hidden twists and shenanigans of housemates including Dexter Koh, Gina Rio and Hazel O'Sullivan.

Roll on the next series, we say

Looking good for next year.

I don't think we give BB the credit it deserves when it comes to ratings especially when its beating BAFTA award winning shows (TOWIE & Made In Chelsea) which both get huge media attention compared to BB.

TOWIE: Averaged 1.29 last series

Made In Chelsea: Averaged 900,000 and those are both official figures.

Great rating and a nice article, BB14 seems to be getting good press

just a shame about the launches getting low ratings, could have really helped the average if they had some proper, decent promotion for what is essentially a rebooted - rebooted series

1m excl +1. Around 1.1m incl +1, standard for every Saturday. Looks bad, BUT Ch5 came 2nd in it's slot. Everything else did badly too.

Up against BB:

BBC1- Mrs Browns Boys- 4.09m
BBC2- Q1 XL- 700k
ITV- The Americans- 860k
Ch4- Braveheart- 430k
Ch5- Big Brother- 1.0m

So when you look at it like that, not too bad at all :p

The fact it beat ITV. BBC2 and Channel 4 is brilliant.

Yes it looks low but not 1 episode has dropped beneath 1 million this year which is a first since its move to Channel 5.

Not many people watch Saturday's because they are either out or think it is a repeat of Friday's which it isn't :s

ONE did without plus one didn't it?

Still, second in it's slot behind the BBC only is fantastic. :dance:

Second in its slot is amazing. It proves how loyal the fanbase is that so many people watch it every day. Few other programmes get that dedication from people.

Second in its slot :D great stuff
