Lovely.

Pleased with 2.5m even though i thought last nights highlights were dull.

Hopefully it will rise again tonight and get over 3m for the first eviction.

The ratings have gone up the past 3 days :)

BB pulled in an average audience of 2.5m (14%) between 10pm to 11pm on Channel 5.

The show was up 0.1m from the previous night’s highlights show and was the show’s highest rated broadcast since last Saturday (2.7m).

Channel 5 had a strong evening with Extraordinary People beforehand pulling in 1.8m, helping the broadcaster beat Channel 4 once again in the primetime shares. Channel 4, who axed Big Brother last year, averaged only 1.1m in the 10pm slot, less than half of Celebrity Big Brother’s audience. Celebrity Big Brother also beat ITV’s News at Ten (1.9m) and BBC2′s airing of Coast (0.6m).

Yesterday’s CBB rating was consistent with how the first Wednesday highlights show has performed in the last two summer series, as 2.6m tuned in for the first Wednesday episode for BB11 and 2.4m in BB10. Although yesterday’s audience was down from CBB7′s 3.2m for the same episode, yesterday’s 14% share was actually higher than CBB7′s 12% share.




From ds

Looks like it's going to be 2.6 tonight then

Great to see it rising... and Channel 4 doing badly. :hugesmile: I honestly can't believe they axed it to be honest. 2.5m every night for 12 weeks? Most channels would be more than happy with that.

What do the percentages mean?

I think its relates to a percentage of the audience for that specific time?

Dont quote me on that.

BB is doing well when it comes to % though

They are good figures, they would have been good figures on Channel 4 still too but for Channel 5 it has to be a really great success so far.

That's what I thought. That's really good then. Like 22% on Launch Night? That's massive.

im guessing 2.4 tonight but lets hope they keep getting bigger

If they aired it earlier they would get more, I have few friends who love bb and can't watch. it coz orbit being on late during the week.

CBB - 2.43 13% :)
BOTS - 0.859 8.4% :eek:

It is good the main show is keeping the audience share, and I think we have to remember even the share of the spin off show is 2.4% more than the average audience share for the channel.

Lets hope they can get it a little higher to average about 15% when the main show starts. I can't see channel 5 being unhappy with that.

:eek: = :amazed:

Good to see it's hovering around those figures and not making any drastic falls. Wonder how much tonight's eviction will get? :hugesmile:

Is the shocked face supposed to mean the figures are bad or good :laugh: I think those are pretty decent for both shows

Good

Oh yeah sorry I missed your other post :tongue:

2.81 million for last nights eviction

Daily Star bragging 18M have watched BB SO FAR.... XF got over 18 just on the finale night last year... :laugh:

:laugh2:

they are great ratings! just remeber c5 hardley got rating just over 1.5m before bb! :D

and now they are beating c4's overall ratings everytime and bbc2 most nights :)

That is great thought the ratings would be slightly under 2.0 by now

Pretty good ratings for the eviction!

1.8m 8.3% :(

Saturday, people are out :tongue:

deleted

:( the bolded bit is the telling stat.

Awful :( what were C4's saturday average for BB11?

Dipped below 2m :( I expected it though, didn't feel like anyone was watching it last night.

That will young programe was on ITV1 straight after the X-factor fished, so lots of people will have stayed on the same channel.
It also had strong competition from BBC 1 & 2 with the proms and casualty and John Bishops britain. Hope the ratings pick up again tonight.

BB11 saturdays averaged around 2.3-4m, and at the moment cbb is averaging 2.25 over the two saturdays we've had so far......

It was saturday so I don't expect it to do as well.

Last saturday was its highest HL's show rating yet.

I'm putting it down to been up against Will Young and Sex In The City, there goes most the women audience right there.

Hopefully it'll be back up tonight.

I wouldnt worry i reckon it will be over 2 million again from tonight.
