Big Brother falls to a new low of just 1.4 million viewers
 

And a 6.4% share of the audience.

Bad. Very, very bad.

On a Saturday night? vs prime time BBC and ITV?

perspective please

It fell to 1.6 million last week too, you have to take figures on an average over the week.

Saturday,in all likelihood weekend nights were rarely great nights for BB anyway.

I watched the opening episode. Like many others I do not think I will return, dismal HMs and C5 flogging a dead horse, over a decade the format has gone from compulsory must see TV to freak show with not very interesting freaks.

It's a shame because I enjoyed last night's episode. Rebeckah's bitchiness coming out of nowhere. So funny when she said to Aaron "I peed on a man". HAHAHAHA!

The ratings would go back up if we had live feed.....

Source? I thought they got released later in the day

I thought they would be lower. Not much of a drop from last week.

Saturday nights allways rate low.

I reckon the show will be back up to the 2million mark next week.

The show always drops on a Saturday, the Show gets 2m again on Sunday if not more. Many don't tune in because it's just highlights from the live shows ect

bb is so pathetic

The digital spy ratings thread, someone updates them there at around 10am daily.

**** sake :joker:

Which is a shame, because it was the best first 'real' show (disregarding launch) for years I think.

I personally think the strategy of having CBB so close to it was a bad move, especially when it was as bad as this years was. The few people that I know that do still watch it were put off by the lack lustre past few weeks (which were all all so slick try hard but still just overall boring), the failed Americanisation of the format, and (yes) lack of live feed.


I am sure the word will spread as we go on,I am aleady re selling it to people I know are open to it based on that first 'real' show.

But look at the ratings for the rest of the day on channel 5 XD

:idc:

They should of carried on with the Celebrity series up until October - and then had BB12 in June 2012, FFS.

Patrick i doubt the celebrities would all agree to stay in for a month longer

God no... the other way around imo.

They shouldnt have bothered with CBB at all for this year, it was awful. Would have been cleverer to just launch the realshow and rebuild it's hardcore fanbase again.

You have to remember that this is not a Summer show. The ratings will be higher for sure next Summer when it has little competition. Knowing Channel 4 though they will probally find some.

Then why are you still here?!?! You're like one of those people that go to concerts just to boo.

i expect these sort of numers right too the end now, the twist wasent enought too hook veiwers in the cast sort of reminds me of celeb hijack cast :shocked:

It was a saturday night ratings are always lower! shame because it was one of the best first eps in many a year! they should go back up again.

Shame it got such low ratings, the dickhead haters will be out in their droves now laughing and raving... the show deserved much higher ratings and I hope they improve over the next few days, as long as it get's a average of about 2.2 million I don't think Desmond will care too much.

It should pick up tonight. Last night was fierce for choice.

Why do people obsess over ratings?

I swear the people who stalk the ratings and make a new thread every time it falls a little have nothing to do with their days.

Those ratings are fine for C5. It was the only show all day that broke 1 million viewers. 1.4 million would be dismal for something like ITV or BBC but C5 is a lot more limited in it's viewership and as long as it can stay around the million mark then that's good especially if the audience watching is a young one as young audiences are like gold dust to advertisers.

The ratings for it's circumstances are fine. C5 will never get sky high viewers often since it's a lot more limited hen the main channels due to the fact that not everyone can get it. At the end of the day don't bother worrying about ratings if you don' know what they mean. The number may seem low but I bet it's in with C5's expectations.

I'm sure they are more than happy with those ratings. It would be awful if it was BBC or anything but it's quite a good number for channel 5 - you only have to compare it to their other shows and how they fared yesterday.
