Channel 5 made a terrible mistake at making it a two part launch

Go and hashtag BBUK and just read the comments, what everyones saying about the housemates.

Expect it horrific tonight - but then hopefully it'll be able to bounce up as the week goes on. I hope.

This, imo people who didn't watch Part 2 might see that there is more people that went (the 6 HM) and tune in and watch it on Sunday

Are channel 5 counting their on demand viewers yet?

FGS it did ****e that's the facts its so annoying seeing fans rallying around making up excuses and possibilities.

The fact is it bombed and that's because firstly the producers failed to put on a good first night and sent the housemates into the house in totally the wrong order.

Then they have crammed to much in to such a small space of time (someone got power, someone got punished, someone was given 5 grand, 6 new housemates enter, someones given a ticket to the final, someone will be nominated every week)

All this happened by day 2.

Its just Secrets and Lies but on speed.

Viewers are bored of it and im finding it a chore after only 2 days. Im worn out from watching the launches already lol.

BOTS ratings for last night 596k

Dammit!

:laugh:

What is normal for bots?

Anything between 500k to 700k.

So last night was normal then for bots?

Yeah, basically!

Ah right ok.

BOTS actually does really well it normally gets well over 500K that's not a correct average.

I would say it usually gets 700K to 900K.

Saturdays are usually between 400/500K.

So was it against a footie match last night?

Decent for the first show, slightly up on last year, disappointing for the second, down probably to the bland selection of first night housemates and the good weather that seems to have effected everything. Hopefully after tonight's, which airing after BGT and against football will probably tank, it'll start to stabalise and recover.

The retention would have been much worse if last night had been your bog standard first night highlights.

Disappointing ratings for the 2nd launch show

lmao those flop housemates making the ratings half in just 24hrs

Its hardly a lmao situation.

I don't understand why you hate this cast so much

This Cast >>>>>>>>>>>> The BB11, 12 & 14 Cast all together

You do know you just don't have to love the BB14 cast just because Gina was in it

Last nights live feed got 405k.

Not to shabby :)

oh that's nearly as high as BOTS, I hope C5 look at how successful the is Live feed and make a 24/7 they can at least try it

'Flop contestants', how can people say that? Its been a day!
And anyway, already, we have...

- Helen having a tantrum about her photo and getting a warning according to Tellymix
- Pauline and her dislike for Chris, will she poison everyones minds?
- Jale already getting annoyed with fakeness

And it's the 2nd proper day! I really think this series will be one to look out for. I reckon it could be a grower.

It needs word of mouth. It's been negative so far. But anyway...

Tonight will be very low. A Saturday, up against the England match. I predict under 1m. Tomorrow may save it, it will probably be in the 1.3-1.4m range (which is what most BB14 HLs got), especially at the start considering BB14 was the first 'grower' of a series for years and so was CBB13.

So basically will BB15 follow in BB14 and CBB13 footsteps, starting relatively low and growing?

Impressive for Live Feed though IMO.
