Yeah it probably will, I think CBB16 had some big officials and lower overnights.

They're showing X Files! :cheer2:

I reckon 2.3M tonight.

The cbb16 officials were the lowest ever, but 3m official is now kinda normal for january cbb. It'll be a shame if we don't see many 3m's for this series or even any at all.

Hmm its a weird one. Megan and Tiffany have literally broke Twitter tonight I still think we are gonna see a big incident and a big climb. Please no more ratings under 2 million this is a great series its not epic but im enjoying it.

As a matter of interest, are ratings of these kind not seriously flawed and outdated?

Do these overnight ratings account for people who watching on playback? For example, I always record Big Brother and watch it an hour later. Am I excluded from the ratings? Surely, actually watching the show at 9pm is a rarity nowadays amongst generation record and playback??? Not to mind the fact that many of my friends and I watch the show on Irish TV channel TV3??? Of course CBB this time last year was going to be higher when it's lost it's entire Irish audience?

Just wondering :)

2.37 Including +1 (11.2%)

Third in it's slot, not far off beating ITV.

Last night rose to 2.37m incl +1.

Ratings so far:

Launch- 2.80m
Thursday- 2.19m
Wednesday- 2.04m
Friday- 1.9m and 1.7m
Saturday- 1.56m
Sunday- 2.09m
Monday- 2.08m
Tuesday- 2.43m
Wednesday- 2.11m
Thursday- 2.37m

People who record and watch after are NOT counted in the overnights but counted in the officials, which come out around 8-15 days after. The officials come out usually on a Monday at around 2pm.

Normally for CBB, timeshift adds around 400k, so if you look at all the overnights, add roughly 350-400k to it and then you will have your officials (where catch up is counted).

FYI, CBB11, CBB13 and CBB15 all had very large catch up audiences (around half a million), and they averaged 2.8m, 3.0m and 3.1m officially.

Last night beat CBB13, didn't beat CBB15 - around 280K down.

2.37m would get rounded up to 2.4m as Broadcast has.

Good rating and last night was an amazing episode.

Really enjoying this series and officials should be good with all the press/tv attention.

We'll see. I don't know how much it will add. As of this moment, the average is 2.09m overnight, tonights interview and tomorrows Saturday and 10:30pm slot will ruin it, but hoping it can end up averaging 2.1m overnights for a 2.5m official? That's what I reckon it will add, around 400k.

Idk what I actually think it'll average officially but im hoping high for maybe 3.0 like at least 2.8 cuz it deserves it. CBB13 and 15 got 3.1 so I might be setting my sights a bit high but last night's and tuesday's i think will add up to 3m officially anyway.

Channel 5 (exc. +1)
21:00 Celebrity Big Brother: 2.21m (9.9%)
22:00 Lip Sync Battle UK: 1.63m (8.6%)
22:30 Celebrity Big Brother: 1.66m (10.6%)

In comparison to last week where 9pm got 1.7m excl +1, Lip Sync got 1.60m and 2nd show got 1.55m excl +1. So it's comfortably up on last week.

With +1 it will be around 2.4m for 9pm show and around 1.8m for both LSB and the 2nd CBB show. SADLY, Digital Spy doesn't release +1 ratings for Fridays on a Saturday, we won't know until Broadcast updates on Monday!

I've heard CBB wasn't available on Plus 1 last night - don't know if that applies to both shows

Yeah just found out!!

I think it was just for the 9pm show due to language. Odd, so that ruins the ratings!

decent enough figures

I was wondering about the language last night you might know a bit more. Are they likely to get a rap on the knuckles for launching straight into the F bomb frenzy at 9pm followed by the C word?. I always thought the 9pm watershed was more of a sliding scale than a definite line. They seemed to revel in it last night night even Emma looked a bit taken aback by it.

I agree. I think it's nothing to do with the F word but 100% to do with the C words that were mentioned literally at 9:01pm. That's why the warning said "very offensive language right from the start". You'd think that the normal viewer would be like "Oh OK, they warned us and it is past 9pm so we won't complain".

I think the C word was dropping three times between 9:00-9:10pm so that may have been a problem. But I dont think it should have been taken off on +1, that is pathetic! That's around 200,000 people that missed out because they didn't have +1 available.

So weird that 4 million viewers separate CBB and EastEnders - CBB doesn't even look bad when you say that.

2.05 without +1

So around 2.3M

Low night for Ch4 and BBC2

Ch4 got 700k

BBC 2 scrapped 1 million.
