Was only the other day that someone from 5 was praising Big Brohter for increasing their revenue or something. I can see it being kept on after this year

Oh that is brilliant, to be honest, it's BB13 I'm worried about, as long as that gets good ratings as well, I think they'd renew for 2 years.

I miss the days when BB was massive and we didnt have to worry about it being renewed for another series.

Lets ****ing savour it

We need the Housemates to rise to the occasion.

Very true. Last night when I saw tweets like 'these are not even real celebs, big brother is sh*te' I was thinking 'THEN DON'T FUC*ING WATCH SOMETHING THAT YOU DISLIKE!! LEAVE BIG BROTHER TO BE WATCHED BY PEOPLE WHO LIKE BIG BROTHER!'. I especially get irritated by comments such as 'Big Brother is the worst show on TV, needs to be cancelled now'. I dislike Emmerdale, does that mean it deserves to be off the air?

I know!

Whenever i read a story on The sun online or something below the article is full of people saying "Who watches this garbage" "This **** needs to be cancelled already".

If you dontlike BB then why would you even go into an article about bb?

Baffles me.

One word, TROLL. They're pathetic, I dislike TOWIE and Geordie Shore, I wouldn't comment about it though, I just ignore it.

Indeed

Yeah, DS say :

Friday 6th January Overnights
Channel 5 (inc +1)
20:00- World's Toughest Trucker: 1.25m (5.1%)
21:00- Celebrity Big Brother: 2.61m (10.6%)
* peak: 3.03m (12.3%)
22:00- Celebrity Wedding Planner: 1.02m (5.2%)
23:00- Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side: 668k (5.2%)

That's a 74% retention of the launch rating, CBB's best second-night retention on record (i.e. smallest ever drop). Last summer's CBB8 second episode retained a smaller 62% of the launch audience. So a possibility now that if the next few days hold pretty steady, the gap will close between CBB9 and CBB8

Thats some good news.

i cant work it out cause thats +1 raitings too? so what was it without +1 But 2.6m is great for channel 5,.

Your looking at about 2.5 without +1

And if it carries on this kind of path (the 2-2.5 million mark) we should pretty much get the same as last year, which isn't a failure nor a triumph

That's fantastic!!

Last night most were predicting in the 1 million to 1.5 million range!

That is great news, I reckon tonight it'll drop, saturday shows always do poorly, then it'll perform well again in the week.

Good news but remember the episode after the launch allways gets higher then the rest and finally settles on about day 4 at a lower rating.

Last years first 2 episodes both got over 3 million then dropped to 2.5 where roughly it stayed for the rest of the series.

I do have a feeling this series can redeem itself though.

If it can average 2.8 million like last year then it will be another success.

Digital spy are reporting BB got 2.4?

Channel 5's World's Toughest Trucker drove off with 1.18m (4.8%) at 8pm before the highlights of the Celebrity Big Brother launch night summoned 2.44m (9.9%). Celebrity Wedding Planner followed with 936k (4.8%) and Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side entertained 619k (4.8%).

Agree with you Daniel, I think they're mugging us off as someone rightly said in the comments!

Well its doing better than CBB8 already.

I sincerely hope BB13 is as successful

Erm no its not

How do you work that out?

That is without +1. The 2.61m is +1, and by the way, I think that rating of 170,000 is Ch5+1 biggest rating so far.
