Well considering Ireland has a population of about 4.5 million; that does't seem to bad :D

Also taking into consideration that its TV3, and the highest rated shows here are generally around 1 million, and that is rare; and that is a fantastic rating.

It would be about the equivalent of around 6 million people in the UK watching, I think :)

just worked it out whilst you posted this

Well that's your paranoia mate lol I would hate originl BB to be cancelled I love it!

Ive been watching it for half of my life!

Im sure my posts in this thread today have been very positive? In regards to me thinking its the last civilian BB Salv said the same thing do you think he wants it cancelled?

Yes on paper you cant count it as 2.3 but its a fact 2.3 million people watched last night.

That might be true, but if you want a figure that we can take into account to get an average for this series, you cannot count the Irish viewing figures. That will unfortunately be a figure on its own and will determine if TV3 have Big Brother back next year.

I just did tho?

BBSpy reporting that the launch peaked at 2.2m which isn't that bad.

I'm going to call it 1.1m for last nights show.

1.3 being hopeful, being on at ten won't have helped

Oh god I hope it doesn't fall down that far. :worry: 1.5m would be nice.

It won't be 1.5 :laugh: not at 10PM anyway (I hope you prove me wrong)

What was it against tonight?

BBC One - News
BBC Two - Rory Blamers election report (doubt hardly anyone would watch that)
ITV - News
Channel 4 - A repeat of Gogglebox

So basically no competition, I don't think many people will watch a repeat of Goggleobx either, so its hopeful its done well. :)

Yeah you'd hope so. But it didn't. :(


1.12m (excl +1) :(

Hopefully that means it's going to pick up tonight.

1.3m with plus one

Not great but bbuk has been the weaker brand for a few years now

meh! No to bad, the first highlight show of BB Power Trip got 952k, if its get 1.3 with plus 1 then its ok, considering its mostly a repeat of the first night although it wasn't really but thats what people think.

BB15 - 952K
BB14 - 1.4
BB16 - 1.3 - probably with +1

1.3 doesn't look as bad actually. But with bugger all competition it should have done better. What's it up against tonight? I would expect a climb?

Let me check,

BBC One - News
BBC 2 - W1A
ITV - News
Ch4 - The Secret World Of Tinder

So not much competition, considering BB appeals to a young audience respectably.

Maybe 9pm is better considering its exam season, theres a big 2 hour Chemistry today, I dont have it as one the very few who do different science.

4th in the slot by the look of it. Beat gogglebox but considering it was a repeat, that's nothing to get excited about.

yeah, hopefully it will pick up in June when exams begin to finish, but for now its a great series with good HM, obvs it could completely change.

The ratings for Big Brother 2015 took quite the tumble last night, dipping to just 1.1 million viewers.



It’s after Tuesday night’s BBUK launch opened to its worst viewing figures EVER with an average audience of 1.8 million.

Some 500,000 viewers tuned out overnight, seemingly unimpressed with the line up of housemates, seeing ratings sink to 1.12 million viewers, 1.3 million including Channel5+1.

The number is down some 500,000 viewers on last year’s second episode, although that was another live show as a result of two-part launch.



The viewing figures were half of what rival Channel 4 managed in the 9PM hour with more than 2.2 million watching the latest episode from the men.

While the BB numbers aren’t great it’s still very much early days yet, however with competition from Eurovision and Britain’s Got Talent to come over the next few weeks, the show has a rough road ahead to pick up viewers.

Big Brother continues nightly on Channel 5 with the latest episode tonight at 10PM.

The Island is also back tonight from 9PM on Channel 4 with the latest from the women’s island.

1.3 is good, its up there with BB14 that got 1.4 first highlight show, dont see why its that bad then, that will probs get 1.7-8 official which is very good for BB. Tellymix are very negative, different if it was 1.1 with +1

so
BB13 - around 1.3 (got 1.8 official)
BB14 - 1.4
BB15 952K
BB16 - 1.3

so quite good/average in comparison.

That isn't that bad in comparison actually, it's just easy to panic. Also, 500k lost from launch to first HL's - where does that fall in comparison?

well thats actually very good:

BB14 - 2.13 to 1.36 which is a 900k lost
BB15 - 2.1 which is a 1.2m lost lmao
BB16 - 1.8 - 500k lost

and also BB14 got 1.36 first highlight show so the same really as BB16 - could BB16 be a rating success like BB14?
