CBB17 Ratings Thread
 

Discussion and speculation about the ratings of CBB17.

With TV viewership down a lot this year with most shows I'm guessing about 3.0M

2014 and 15's launch rating:

CBB15 - 3.27million (16.3%)
CBB13 - 3.4million (15.0%)

Agreed. January usually gets pretty big names and most people were pretty positive about the summer series which may encourage more people to watch.
I'm going with a lower figure (3.0-3.2 million) with a similar share (14-15%). A little more optimistic than you though :laugh:

Sadly with all these low TV ratings accross the board I don't believe the numbers now using the outdated ratings method

Some previous ratings...

CBB13 and CBB15 both got around the same launch rating of 3.7m, but with TV viewership down recently (with the two recent series of BB suffering), I'm going to take a guess and say 3.3m official for the launch.

The official launch rating has never been below 3.6m. I think it will be above that maybe slightly below no less than 3.50 though. But i think the year of this year's bb bight lower it as it's had the lowest ever rated bb & cbb this summer. Theres usually 1m difference with summer & january so I think the average will be 2.9m unless it's outstanding which it potentially will be.

Isn't it usually 1m difference between the January CBB and the summer CBB that air the same year as opposed to the summer CBB that aired a few months earlier in the previous year. But even then that's not always true.

CBB10 averaged 2.2m and CBB11 averaged 2.8m.
CBB12 averaged 2.3m and CBB13 averaged 3.1m.

I think that was only for CBB14 where it was 1m down on CBB15.

But if the viewers who stopped watching BB16/CBB16 also don't tune in to CBB17 as well as the decrease in TV viewship, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if CBB17 rates around 2.8m overall like CBB11 did.

yeah so CBB16 averaged 1.9M

So if we go by that then it would be around 2.6-8.

Bump.

With IAC now over, CBB just round the corner (has it really been 2 months since CBB16 ended?), and the eye being revealed. I thought I'd bump this thread.

Predictions?

January Viewership will be right back up as people stay in more over the winter.

I expect around 3m for the winter launch always does much better than summer bb/cbb

Bumping this again.

With just two and half weeks to go till this series kicks off and with the house pictures having been just revealed. Any predictions?

I'm going to say 3.3m for the launch and 2.9m official series average.

Could be very close their hopefully it holds up well

I honestly don't know. I know CBB15 recovered very well from BB15/CBB14 being the lowest at the time, and now CBB17 will follow a BB16/CBB16 which were the new lowest rated, so will it recover, time will tell?

I'd say in terms of where BB stands at the moment, they are in a better position now than we would have been if there was no CBB16 inbetween BB16 and CBB17. I know just like BB15, BB16 rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way.

So I think CBB16 was a generally well received series compared to the latest civilian series, with a winner which fit the bill more than a lot of the other winners. So, I think C5 will be happy they had CBB16 as a welcome break because BB16 got such a frosty reception and CBB16 didn't.

So IMO, CBB17 is in a better position in the case that it followed a series which didn't piss many people off.

But will CBB17 be the lowest winter CBB ever? That stands as CBB9s 2.6m official average right now. The thing with CBB17 is that I don't think they will have a standout character like the last two Jan series (Jim and Hopkins). So it could suffer from that. CBB16 had Janice which was a big draw but it didn't stop it from being the lowest rated CBB (even though it was up half a million from BB16 which is a decent lift).

I'm going to say that it will be the first CBB winter series to launch under 3m.

2.6m overnight (3m official), and an official average of 2.5m (overnight average of 2.1m).

I think you're predicting way too low, I don't think it will average lower than CBB9 officially - given CBB is in a much better state now than it was back in 2012, especially with the last successful two years the show has had with CBB13 and CBB15. And CBB16 being well-received too.

I don't think it will average 3.1m like the last two years have, but a loss of 0.6m is quite a big drop. TV viewership would have to be low for that to be possible as well as it being quite an awful series (hopefully not :fc:). I think it will average lower than 3m officially, but higher than 2.5m. I personally think 2.8/2.9m sounds more realistic. But only time can tell. I'd love for it to average 3m (even if it is lower than CBB13/15), but with everything rating low/lower than usual recently, I don't have much hope.

Just under a week till the series kicks off. Bump.

Launch night will get 2.9 million I think.

Series Average - 2.8 million.

Prediction
Launch night 2.7m

Series average 2.5m

I'll go for 2.5m overnight, hopefully I'm wrong. :worry: I want this series to rate really well !!

4 millio viewers will flock in to see Jeremy

no

2.4 launch

2.7m launch (overnights) 3.3m (official)

2.5/6 for the launch (hopefully it'll outrate the Big Fat Quiz on Channel 4)

I'll say it will be lower than I said before. 2.3m in my opinion with +1.

2.6-2.7m I think generally live tv viewing is down consolated numbers will tell the truer picture

To be honest today has been a good day for CBB promo.

On Twitter Im surprised it's not getting too much of a bad reaction due to the lineup. Twitter has exploded today.

So...

- CBB HM selection leaked by The Sun, Daily Mail and The Daily Star
- Kim Kardashian has tweeted about CBB and how she will watch it, she has almost 39m followers, so that's some great promo.
- Channel 5 at the moment, Best 2015 Moments has had a lot of CBB moments in them.
- 5* has been running repeats of the "Best of BB on 5" shows right now.
- LAD Bible posted the lineup, "who the hell are these people" and the comments on the page were very very bad and how everyone hated BB, BUT they have 11m likes on the page, so any promo is good promo.

So today has been a good one in making people know its coming back.

300 million

3.11m launch
2.7 average

I honestly don't know, it's been getting a lot of promo.

Launches:

CBB8: 5.08m (21.9%)
CBB9: 3.54m (16.6%)
CBB10: 2.71m (13.1%)
CBB11: 3.55m (17.0%)
CBB12: 2.83m (15.7%)
CBB13: 3.40m (15.0%)
CBB14: 2.36m (12.6%)
CBB15: 3.27m (16.3%)
CBB16: 2.22m (12.7%)

Honestly don't think it will be anywhere near CBB15. I predict 2.4m. Interesting that despite CBB15 launching at lowest winter, it became the highest ever on C5, despite it launching with 1.9m less than CBB8!!!

3.2 million on launch.

2.9 for series average.

3.01 for launch me thinks

3.1m salv think your prediction is way too low

2.67m (13.2%) exc. C5+1.

:worry: Isn't that quite low for winter cbb?

It got 2.8m incl +1.

Not too bad, down on the previous January obviously but highest rated show on CH5 in 11 months, since CBB15 ended in Feb 2015.

2nd in it's slot beating ITV, CH4 and BBC2.

I think that rating is alright considering tv viewing figures have dropped a good bit since last years January series.
