love it :devil:

That was the figure expected widely on here from most people.

Even on here predictions said it would likely only get around 2 million for its launch when in fact it got 5 million,then it was expected to average around 1.5 million for the series as a whole it has exceeded that to to more like 2million+.
3 million is a credible figure and one they can build on for the future.

It has been a great success and I am sure Channel 5 certainly see it that way.

CaudleHalbard 09-09-2011 10:47 AM

For C5 that is a fantastic success. It almost certainly secures BB for years to come.

Benjamin 09-09-2011 10:54 AM

The figures will only likely drop from here. The may increase slightly for the start of BB12 but I doubt they will increase to much higher as a lot have lost faith/interest in the show.

Gillian-73 09-09-2011 10:55 AM

For channel 5 they're ok figures! they'll be very happy with that! can they maintain it with BB12 is the question? i hope so.

Black Dagger 09-09-2011 10:57 AM

Little bit gutted, but the negative ******** will be very pleased...

I hope the show still get's an average of 2.1 million a night for BB12, I hope the show remains for years to come and C5 might learn from their mistakes.

I think they will, these series have been very basic, if they keep to the 1.5 million mark for these series overall and CBB has well exceeded that, then they have a lot more time to plan around that for the series next year learning all that will make it better and also to bring in more viewers.

Starting smaller than getting bigger is the real key to success.

They only count a few bastards that have barb boxes so I doubt it even matters, it probably got like 7 Million in reality, and I stand by that.

Actually they use the BARB boxes to get a accurate estimate of how many people watched it, so 3m is likely correct.

Beso 09-09-2011 12:06 PM

Who wants to follow the crowd anyway..**** em all.

Jordan. 09-09-2011 12:13 PM

Yay our favourite show is failing

Visage 09-09-2011 12:17 PM

Do they take into account those who Sky Plus the show and then watch it 20 minutes just to avoid the adverts....?

Vicky. 09-09-2011 12:24 PM

3m is still BRILLIANT for c5.

I'm sure I saw viewing figures on here last week that suggested some stuff they show gets like 3k viewers :suspect:

Locke. 09-09-2011 12:30 PM

Wasn't really a finale though was it, it is starting again tonight. If it was a proper finale it'd have got more viewers.

Smithy 09-09-2011 12:43 PM

It had loads of competition thats why, @ 9 corrie & torchwood were both on idk about 10, but yah

Jordan. 09-09-2011 12:44 PM

^ It'll be even worse tonight then

bbfan1991 09-09-2011 12:44 PM

Decent figure for C5 but not quite the 8 million Amy thinks that watch:joker:.

BigBrotherfan4ever 09-09-2011 12:49 PM

Not bad figures for C5, i actually didn't think it would get as much as that, if im being honest.

the_last_remaining_fan 09-09-2011 01:14 PM

3m is probably about right, anyone who thinks its any more than that is on another planet entirely...

Tom4784 09-09-2011 01:54 PM

They're fine figures for C5, I imagine that they'll keep CBB but they'll end up dropping BB as I think it won't do too well.

Jake. 09-09-2011 01:59 PM

Actually it peaked at 3.7 million after 10oclock

Zippy 09-09-2011 02:03 PM

Not great for CBB but good enough for ch5. I think thats the official verdict here.

Its BB12 they invested in really so thats the real test. They need to get viewers hooked early on then hope to hang on to them. Pammy Anderson is not a good sign :/

happybbfan 09-09-2011 03:41 PM

least watched final of BB in history http://www.mirror.co.uk/celebs/news/...5875-23408289/

Stu 09-09-2011 03:54 PM

It was a disaster, wasn't it. You must look at how the final rating compared not to other finals but against the series average. It's a bad sign that not that many additional people tuned in to the final and shows the show didn't register that much interest with anyone outside the core BB audience.

but ch5 did buy it to essentially bring the BB audience over to them. Theyve managed to hang on to most so far so I think the juries still out on where it will go with BB12. But Im not sure how ambitious ch5 are. Maybe theyre happy to just get 1.5 million on a regular basis?

Oh I'm not doubting the series average as a whole is great for a network like Channel 5 I'm talking strictly the jump from your average highlights show to the final. It's a horrible indication of public awareness/care that only a relatively small few extra people bothered to tune in for the final. Look how low it was compared to the launch.

Usually the launch and finals both rate much higher than the series average which is a good indicator of the 'I don't watch it every night but I'm still interested' crowd. Here it seems judging by the final rating that didn't happen at all and most of the people who sodded off once the launch curiosity wore off didn't bother coming back.

Zippy 09-09-2011 04:18 PM

well I think ch4 were right to ditch it because for them they were on a downward spiral. But ch5 had nothing to lose so its a good gamble for them. Plus getting a young audience into the habit of flicking over to ch5 can't do them any harm. Viewers really do get into the habit of just watching certain channels. I know I do.

That's a very valid point, most of my family and friends view their TV with their favourite channels and I know none of them tune into C5 until CBB.

The last time I remember watching C5 was when Prison Break first aired.

Doogle 09-09-2011 05:17 PM

(Not that it made any difference) but everyone I knew was talking about it on FB and Twitter, so I expected a little more based on that :p

daniel-lewis-1985 09-09-2011 06:08 PM

Really ****s me off that people like you who call yourselves fans laugh at when the show does badly.

Doogle 09-09-2011 06:23 PM

Well the OP just moans and moans and moans about everything on BB. Even if it was perfect he'd probably moan about the camera angle or something

Jords 09-09-2011 06:23 PM

Its been a brilliant series, shame.

Ratings will never soar unless the format is radically changed, fact.

Visage 09-09-2011 06:36 PM

I don't think ratings are as important as they were years ago, although that could be just my thoughts.

There is so many different ways of watching shows such as, on-line, catch-up or simply recoded and watched later. Are those viewers included in the ratings ?

I had a call at the start of this year asking me to take part in a survey of what I watch on TV, when they asked what wage bracket I came in, they told me they already had enough for that category. The call was ended and I sat there puzzled by how my wage dictated what programmes I watch.

keithafc 09-09-2011 06:51 PM

Fine figure for Channel 5. Don't see the negative to be honest. Plus it is starting tonight again for the normal series. So it didn't feel like a final.
