*The Official CBB7 Ratings Thread* *Officials now starting to be released*
 

If a mod can make this a sticky thread, because i would like this to be a thread which is on the front page for the next month while CBB7 is on.

Here we will post the ratings that the series is getting, as well as members predictions on them, and how well they think the series will do.

So, firstly, what do you think the ratings of tomorrow nights launch be?

Its really hard to call, I say 4.5m with Channel 4+1 added. The Simpsons Movie could help it out. Would be brilliant to reach 5m.

I doubt it will get 5m.. probably 3.5 - 4m :D

I think it will just scrape 5m, if not with overnights definitely when official ratings are released

It has a lot going for it:

New year hangover (same as last year which got about 6m)
New ad campaign that should bring back those who watched BB10 launch
Opposition aimed at different audience
Airs on a Sunday (Sunday papers and all that) and theres a massive younger audience available that aren't there on Thursdays or Fridays
Its the last one
More publicity than previous years

i think average 4.4mill peak 5.2 (including +1)

I reckon it will get
5-6 million.

I predict 4.8m for the launch

I predict 5.4 million.

I really think it could go either way tomorrow. I'm predicting around 3.5-4m for The Simpsons movie, which could mean CBB easily gets 4.5-5m, but just as likely see their figures fall to around 2.5-3m. So basically anywhere between 2.5m and 5m. But just to be on the safe side, I'll say less than 10m! :D

Yeah i have no idea which way it will go.
If it breaks 5m, we know that the advertising defenitley has worked wonders. Im worried it will get under 4m.

Chillax about the ratings... it's been axed. Channel 4 won't change their decision.

Would be nice to see it do well though :).

Im chilled, ive always been interested in ratings, I just like to see it do well this year, would be a nice end.

True. I predict 5m for launch.

I say about 6.5 million for the launch and about 3 million for nightly episodes

27.4 million,

citezens of britain will be flocking to the nearest tv screen to watch vinnie and co

3.5 million.

2-4 million.

4 - 5 Million.
The Adverts have helped, and alot of people who hated it want to watch it as its the last one.

It will do well.

To people that say 'who cares about ratings its axed'
Well if CBB7 and BB11 Do very well in ratings then theres more of a chance another channel will want BB.

So ratings for the next two series are very very important.

5m Launch.

48m When Vinnie wins.

:joker: So much support for Vinnie and thats before the series has even started.

5.3 (ish) something at the start of the 5 mark ;)

62m When the SOV wins

Its a very hard one to predict
Alot of things work in its favour such as no major competition for the younger audience, it being the last series and it launching on a Sunday
But is that enough to beat the downward turn in ratings?
I'm expecting atleast a 5million average.

Yep i agree, it has so much going for it, as Tom listed above... also The Simpsons Movie Premiere is on before it which has been advertised loads.
Both should do well as both have been advertised a lot by C4.

2 or 3. People that is, not millions :p


Seriously, 4.2m for tonight, slipping to 2.9m for the overall series average.

It'll get some good ratings tonight, because its sunday and theres never anything else on. Plus people will wanna know whos going in, but if the people arnt so good, then the ratings will drop alot.

lil over 5mil tonight
will drop to about 3mil over whole series unless got some good peeps in there

Is BB on the front cover of the tabloids today?

3.1m imo

I reckon the launch will be the most watched show of the series, but I think it will be down on last year. I think just over 3million for the launch.

Well BB10 final got 3.4m, and launches generally add about 2m from the final before it (in the last year or something), which would mean around 5m for tonight.

I really hope that more people will watch the launch tonight than watch the BB10 final.. it has to be!!

Last night, the launch got 6.3m viewers, beating BB8 Launch, BBCH Launch (as it was on E4) BB9 Launch, CBB6 Launch and BB10 Launch.

It came first in its slot.

That's good to hear!

It has only been beaten by BB4, BB5, BB7, CBB4 and CBB5 which in the mess BB has been in is pretty good to finish 6th out of 18 series'

6th out of 18? That is amazing, lets hope BB11 is just as good too!

Ohh wow really?
Thats brilliant to hear!

Just shows how with a bit of effort the series can always bounce back after a poor series. Shame though it wasn't realised a couple of years ago.

Tonight's is the real test - if after the improvements last night we return to the same old story of the second show spending half an hour recapping the launch show viewers will soon turn off. There's always a fall on the second night, and I think realistically anything above 3m is a success.

This website says CBB2 had 7.6m http://archive.insidebigbrother.net/...atings/cbb.ibb more than last night.

I'm not sure if we should believe last night's rating. How can it get 6.2m all of a sudden when only 3m tuned in for the BB10 final?

I did enjoy the show for the most part, but I'm suspicious about these ratings.

Because the intense and constant promo? The rumours which (as Davina said) had everyone talking, plastered over papers etc.

I think that as its the last year people are intrigued.
For example, i cant count how many of my friends said that they havnt watched since BB7 but are watching CBB7 and BB11.

this is fantastic news! I lovee Big Brotherr <3

Im over the moon with those ratings.
Was no expecting that, lets hope they actually keep up this Hell Lies In Others Theme and then the ratings will be with us to the end :D

OMG 6.3 Million but then add all the other Sky Viewers that arent even counted because we dont have barb boxes, and that means it probley got about 7 or 8 milion?


People have been saying that it doesnt matter and it should of happened in BB10, Well it didnt!
Get over it thats what I say, CBB7 is looking good if BB11 Can do just as good then we'll have a BB12.

Shirley Jones has done it again :)

I can't say im surprised by the launch ratings. It had a lot in its favour and last nights launch seemed, for the first time in years, fighting to win viewers back.
It shows there is still interest in the show and if produced well that interest will be sustained.
