Get that britney stan

That's really great, so the highest rating Saturday in three years then?

Yes. Only beaten by the first Saturday of CBB8.

780.5k (5.6%) stayed with the channel at 10:45pm for Celebrity Big Brother's Big on the Psych.

That's great but for one of the best episodes in years im gutted it aired on a Saturday :(

I still cant believe how well BOTS does.

I would think 8 million viewers a week Sherlock would be the bigger of the two threats. It is one of the highest rated shows on television. Fast and Furious will dent the +1 a bit when Sherlock's done, but it's not a ratings smasher, Sherlock will do the damage at 9.

It actually didn't do that badly against Sherlock at all last week. It dented it yes, but it was nothing disastrous. Should be ok tonight. :)

And if it can hold up against one of the biggest dramas on television, it can more than hold up against a film on C4. Though what that says for the tastes of BB's viewership I don't know, even I wouldn't choose it over Sherlock, and I'm a fan.

My only inclination to watch it over Sherlock is that BBC I player uploads stuff a hell of a lot faster and is a better service than 5 on demand :joker:

C5+1 ;)

I haven't got a telly at the moment :bawling::bawling:

Tonight deserves about 7 million :joker:

I'm looking forward to the officials

I'm hoping for about 3 million.

You wish!

Officials for the first 3 days will be available tomorrow, so will be interesting.

Tonight I predict 2.3m, with 300k of that coming from Ch5+1 because of Sherlock. It should be more though!

Ooh I love officials day lol.

Official launch probably got around 3.7/3.8 ish I think

Should be. Hopefully the officials add around the same as CBB11 (around half a million-600k on average), if that's the case, we could be looking at a 2.9m-3.0m official if they keep getting ~2.4m over nights.

2,046,000

Not sure if that is with plus 1

It beat Fast Five's 1,695,000

Is that 2.4? it probably includes +1

Big competition though its just gutting that the 2 best episodes of the series were shown on the wrong days they both deserved 3 million.

2.3m for cbb last night with +1

Damn Sherlock!!!!!!!

Do you know the +1 rating? Bet it was high after all the reaction on twitter in the 9pm slot.

260,000

2.31m inc +1 is great for CBB considering the competition of Sherlock and Fast Five. People seem to forget that these ratings are higher than most of BB10's over nights and half of BB11s (the final 2 series on Ch4), so it must be doing something right. Tonight I predict around 2.3m again because of Benefit Street and Bake Off, but Tuesday should be around 2.4m and Wednesdays around 2.5-2.6m I predict.

Strong time for BBC1 at the moment. Strictly, Sherlock, The Voice, Bake off... Good job BB isn't actually trying to compete with it :D

When are these officials coming then? GRRR!

It best not be like last year where they didn't release some of them.

First 3 officials are in... in brackets are the overnights they had

Launch- 3.69m incl +1 (3.40m)
Saturday- 2.35m incl +1 (1.86m)
Sunday- 2.92m incl +1 (2.34m)

Great start, already close to 3m for that Sunday. It's clear we will see some 3m+ officials.

i'm chuffed with the officials!

Awesome, aren't they? Outside of the launch and final, CBB11 managed two 3m+ officials, I think we could get a few! That launch and Sunday ratings look brilliant.

What was last January's launch officially?

This series is on course to be the most watched celeb bb yet on c5 amazing news really hoping the civilian version can pull in good numbers in the summer as well:)

3.83m I think.

So in terms of launches officially...

CBB8- 5.27m
CBB9- 3.60m
CBB10- 2.96m
CBB11- 3.83m
CBB12- 3.18m
CBB13- 3.69m

I think at the rate we are going now with over nights and the current 3 officials, we should be looking at 2.9m, so yes, it would be the highest series in general since Ultimate BB which got 3.1m.

It would have beaten BB10's 2.5m and match BB11 which also got 2.9m. So it would be on par with BB11.

Strong ratings!

Really good officials!!

They are good ratings but the launch and the Saturday show are down on CBB11.

CBB11: Launch: 3.83
CBB11: Saturday: 2.68

Really impressed with the Sunday episode though hopefully with last nights filthy episode it should be over 3 million.

Looking back through old ratings I thought CBB9 averaged more than 2.6 :/

So the highest Channel 5 rated CBB is CBB11 with 2.81 I cant really see this series averaging that can you? That only had 2 episodes go under the 2.5m mark it did really well. Then again if CBB13 timeshifts well it could match it.

Maybe 2.7/2.8 otherwise.

I can't see why not. The Sunday official came from an overnight of 2.3m. The ratings on average this year have been 2.4m, with the fake eviction getting 2.63m and Evander's getting 2.54m. If episodes time shift the same as the officials did so far, we are looking at 2.9m for sure. For it to average under 2.8m, I'm pretty sure we need to see the over nights dip to 2.2m nightly.

Launch and Sat are down but those are the only two episodes that are down on CBB11 so far this series. Every single CBB13 episode from the Sunday onwards has been higher than CBB11.

Last night dropped a little sadly... CBB got 2.29m incl +1. Dented by Benefit Street which got 5.1m on Ch4! :shocked:

Despite the stronger competition, CBB was still up on the 2nd Monday of CBB11 which got 2.24m.
