BBB to get hammered in the tv ratings tonight.
 

BB has stupidly put the show on at 9pm up against the big 3.
Corrie, BGT semi final results then Chatty man.
CH5 seem to be on a suicide mission with this series.

What are your thoughts?

Almost seems like they want it to fail so they have an excuse to cancel it D:

Erm....when exactly would you suggest they put it on?

As far as I can remember, eviction shows have been at 8:30pm/9:00pm on Friday for the last 15 years.:shrug:

I actually thought the same a few days ago. It's like they are going out of their way to get it off the tv.

but its on for 2 hours, all the drama and evictions/new housemates won't come till after 10pm when theres no competition

BB have moved it before when bigger shows are on. Why not tonight?

What did they expect? It should have been a June launch, this isn't BB7

It's like all they care about is the dire summer CBBs. stealing their attention off the civilian ones.

Lol nobody watches Chatty Man though

It couldn't be put on at any other suitable time.

When have they moved it?

i have watched every series and can't remember a friday eviction show ever starting at any other time than 8:30 or 9pm.

I think the mid-May launch was a terrible idea.
It should've launched on Tuesday 2nd June, instead TBH.

Since when has chatty man been in a "big 3" with BGT and coronation street?

I suspect the latter two get 5 times as many viewers as chatty man.

They moved it this week for starters.

Wonder what their reasoning was for launching it early?

There's no other time they could show an eviction show. :S

Eh?:shrug:

I thought your complaint was that they haven't moved it this week?

There have been roughly 250 eviction nights since 2000. I have watched them all. They were all at this time. Nothing seems any different here at all.

Read back i said tonights show starts at 9pm up against the big 3.

Longer break in between BB and summer CBB. Apparently.

Though, they can still have one, even if it launched in June.
Why don't they just launch summer CBB in late-August / Early September, so it finishes in late September.

BB16

LAUNCH - 2ND JUNE.
FINAL - 14TH AUGUST.

CBB16

LAUNCH - 1ST SEPTEMBER.
FINAL - 25TH SEPTEMBER.

And that is different to previous evictions how?

From what is on tv tonight a 10pm start for them would have been better ratings wise.

Chatty Man rarely passes 1 million in the overnights. It isn't in the big 3 of anything.

Which is more than BB.

A 10pm start??? Are you serious?

You think people are going to stay up til 1am watching the eviction and the BOTS?

PersonallY I would have started it at 8pm. But they never seem to do it that early.

Um I think the point is they're doing a massive twist in a bid to draw back viewers on possibly the worst night possible, when they could have done the twist next Friday instead when there is no competition

We know evictions are always on Fridays at this time, but a massive twist kicking out 4 people and putting in 4 newbies? Hardly the best Friday to choose
