^ Well, that's interesting to hear. Is it not possible that the snow is contributing to CBB7's higher ratings rather than the actual content of the show attracting more viewers?

BB7 was down on CBB4, CBB4 is the last time we saw an increase

Is it not possible that the show is getting better ratings on its own merit? The snow probably isn't affecting TV anymore.

Not sure. I generally think its actually the housemates. There is a mix in there, we were saying, me included that the lineup was bad before they went in, however their are people that people are interested in. Eg. My age group, Sov, Jonas and Vinnie. Older age groups, Stephanie, Ivana and Vinnie.

We will see what happens when the snow dissapears... if that is to happen before CBB7 ends that is.

I was on facebook tonight and was quite suprised by the amount of people putting BB related stuff on their status, when during BB9, CBB6 and BB10, never happened.

My sister is enjoying it this year too, she didnt like BB10 or CBB6.

Clearly there's more people watching TV and nearly all programmes are getting boosts. I read that Coronation Street got 11 million the other day, even though a year ago it was getting 10 million.

So that's why I think it's not on merit.

Last night got 3.2m against 7.6m for Dancing on Ice ... bodes very well for this and next week with all the changing!

Davina's other show got 0.8m

Thats very good, is it with +1? Because DS says 3.2m, but they normally only do it excluding +1.

Also were Frisays ratings wrong?
According to this both shows got 3.4m, much higher than the 2.6m recorded

It doesn't mention the second show so I'm just assuming thats the 9pm show

Just something to mention here, at the same point in CBB6, the official rating for the Sunday highlights was 2.9m so already well ahead of last year

It does, it says Ivana Trump entrance seen by 3.4m... and then says, "the eralier show was seen by 3.4m (conbined together), indicating both we seen as 3.4m. But according to other sites, Ivana Trumps entrance was seen by 2.6m.

And yep its already 300,000 ahead of the Sunday episode, and its only the overnights!! we could be about 600,000 over when the officials come up.

This series is doing quite well for BB and great for C4, I hope it continues and grows in viewers, it deserves it. x

RATINGS ERROR.
Fridays ratings:

1st show- 3.4m
2nd show- 3.6m

Very nice!

That is incredible. The officials could even push that to 4m as the show finished 5 mins early on Friday.

thats brilliant- it pushes the week 1 overnight average to 3.7m. The week 1 official average for CBB6 was 3.7m so this year is already ahead. I think even with the upcoming schedule changes this year will probably beat CBB6 as well as BB10!

BB in trouble tonight?

It clashes with that new American Drama on E4 'Glee'

And they have advertised it like **** over the past few weeks, I want to watch but it clashes with BB.

Dont know why C4 Would do that?
Put BB head to head with another E4 Drama?

Stupid move, so Glee will probley get alot of ratings as E4 and C4 have shut up about it for weeks.

Isnt Glee only on for an hour? BB starts at 10pm right?
Also Glee wont harm it that much, its on E4, it will get about 1.2m viewers i reckon.

Glee is on a double bill so the second episode clashes with BB.

Alright :)
Is E4 Not that watched then?

BB CH didnt get that much ratings because it was on E4 I heard.

This is gunna sound stupid, but how do they find out how many people watch each prgramme

Fantastic figures for the weekend episodes, it will be interesting how ratings go once it starts getting messed around with
I think Glee is a good bit of competition for Big Brother tonight, I imagine the cross over in audience will be quite large. Silly decision to put these shows against eachother

I think Glee's going to put a major dent into CBB tonight. My prediction for tonight is 2.7m.

A good amount of people have Sky plus now, my sister recorded Glee and watched BB

Glee won't affect BB that much, Celeb BB has many more older people watching (hence higher Saturday ratings) than summer BB. Although we all watch both summer and Celeb BB, the average viewer will watch one or the other. Its why this years CBB launched with a massive audience almost unscathed by the failure of BB10.

I forgot all about that lol I could of recorded :(

Hopefully its repeated in the morning and i`ll record it then.

3m (21.2%)

1.3m watched Glee on E4

Where do you get these ratings from? It didn't have 21%. It had a 15.5% share on Channel 4 according to most sources.
