Agreed, I want it to be low so that if they do decide to renew it anyway then they know they have to make some big improvements.

Or it could just go off air and not come back until there's hype for it again.

why is Channel 4 deemed superior to Channel 5

Channel 4 has Hollyoaks and its come up with some good shows like Benefits Street
Channel 5 has Big Brother, Neighbours and Home and Away

It's fair to say that BB has still damaged C4 over the last few years

I dont think it has to be fair. I dont get the lauding it over C4 when C5 beat them in the ratings thing.
All the woohoo C4 got 800k and C5 got 1million thing is a bit odd because C4 aren't paying £20 million pounds a year for whatever repeat they were showing that night.

Yuck what a negative attitude wanting a show you are a fan of to get low ratings just because you backed another fail of a housemate.
You cant always get your own way you know.

It's not Big Brother anymore. I want it to have a rest purely because this is an embarrassment to the whole point of the show.

If BB was on Channel 4 it would still probably only get the ratings it gets now anyway

That's excluding +1 and much better than I thought it would do against the Brazil match, really predicted under 800k. I would predict around 1.15m including?

1.15 on a Saturday?

The fact it came last in the 9pm slot and was beaten not only by Channel 4's 8 out of 10 cats which is about 10 years old now and used to be a BB spin off back in the day with BB specials or it being sandwiched between evictions is really sad.

The only positive is Channel 4 dropping 656k (3.2%) at 10pm for Friday Night Dinner.

Hopefully the +1 will surface later today but then those figures are going to add to the other shows aswell.

Just another point aswell the Brazil game did not rate as well as expected it was 7.48 and should not be seen as the reason BB rated so low in my opinion. If it was up against an X Factor finale which gets about 12 to 15 million then yeah I would agree that's the reason but a BB eviction night was beaten by Gardeners ****ing world.

Last nights ratings across the channels: 9PM



ITV: World Cup: 7.48m (37.1%)

BBC1: New Tricks 2.2m (10%)

Channel 4: 8 out of 10 cats: 1.27m (5.8%)

BBC 2: Gardener's World: 1.46m (6.7%).

Channel 5: Big Brother: 1.04 (4.9%)
