Big Brother 17 Ratings Thread
 

Since there around 3/4 weeks till launch thought we could have a ratings thread to discuss the possible rating for BB17 launch.

I honestly have no idea what the launch could get.

I predict 1.95M

2.2m for launch and then a 1.4 average.

1.5 for the launch then it will go down

1.9 launch

pretty sure those ratings aren't right though

no, ignore me, i read them wrong

1.79m for launch

idk it looks like they've really put effort into it this time, so hopefully that pays off ratings-wise.

Yeah it does seem like more effort is being put into this series.

Some stats for all the C5 series:

I'll be optimistic and predict 2.0m overnight for the launch and 1.5m for the series average officially.

9.8

Thanks for adding this! I remember you got this last time! Really helps. :)

You can add it to the OP if you want ^

Oh yeah, good idea.

Reading the history, it really makes 14 look good. When it launched very low I remember people worrying. But it's the highest rated regular.

16 launched poorly, and have a feeling 17 will launch the same. Perhaps a tiny bit more. 1.86m I predict with +1.

It's unbelievable when you compare 15 and 16 ratings to the previous three winter CBB series. With CBB IMO the sky's the limit. With civilian I don't think it will ever touch 14 figures.

If I remember rightly last year had quite a bit of competition against the launch didn't it? It will hopefully do better this year

2M+, it'll do better then last years I think since it started like a few days after they started promoting it

1.9

1.7

Yeah I agree.

2.12

54.3m

Bump!! Now we know the date (i think). My predictions:

Launch- 1.82m
Wednesday-1.31m
Thursday- 1.28m
Friday- 0.97m (against opening game)
Saturday- 0.79m
Sunday- 1.30m

Last year IMO was harmed by the earliest C5 start... actually, looking at Wikipedia, never in the history of BBUK, had it started that early. The previous earliest was the 18th May 2006 when BB7 launched. This time last year it had already been on for 13 days as it started on the 12th May. The Monday coming up will mark a year since 4in4out happened.

But i think that, plus the fact that I am sure it had quite a bit of competition (more than most years) and it ended up getting 1.8m. So, i think around the same, but like I said, it wouldn't shock me if it was between 1.5-1.6m.

Now we know the scheduling, what is up against it on Launch Night? Isn't Silent Witness usually back when BB returns or am I thinking of CBB?

You're thinking CBB. Silent Witness is normally on January,.

Launch apparently is up against the Cameron/Farage debate.

Anything else?

I mean that will dent the launch but it's hardly the same demographic is it? Mind you on the other hand it's a big debate so who knows.

Bump!

So little promotion. Someone I know who absolutely loves it had no idea it was back so soon.

They need to promote it like how ITV2 promote LI imo

For sure.

I reckon from tomorrow with new information coming in potentially they should start promoting it more!

Love Island played it very well

Yeah. I guess it will get will some good promo on This Morning during the week.

I haven't really been watching MTV/Comedy Central so not sure if they've been playing the advert a lot.

If the shoddy promotion doesn't step up I wouldn't be surprised if it's as low as 1.3/1.4m

I get the feeling Love Island is going to be a problem this year. The excellent promo ITV have given it meant that it launched to 850k inc +1 last night. It only got 450k for it's launch last year.

I think Love Island will be a problem now. It's going to take a lot of viewers off BB as it's in the demo.

We also have the Euro's to worry about, which I think will dent it even if there are non important games. I think people underestimate that there are a lot of people who watch footie and BB (me for starters).

Then we have the Olympics, but don't think that'll be too big a deal considering it's in Rio, the bigger events will play out surely when BB isn't on. As their primetime will be either 5 hours behind or ahead (can't remember which one).

The Hotel Inspector: 1.6m (8.2%) inc +1

Interesting that this returned last night higher than every single show of BB16 bar the launch. It proves that there is still a C5 audience out there (Can't Pay is also delivering similar ratings), so in theory, BB should not be falling below but it will probably average 1.1m or something, which is pretty embarrassing.

I wouldn't worry about LI. BB will get more than LI regardless. I mean last years promo for LI wasn't too bad either, but that didn't stop BB16 (the lowest-rated series with no promo whatsoever) get double its ratings.

No one knows it's launching on Tuesday. I don't think it'll launch well unless the promo intensifies over the next few days.

It's going to launch, really low.

Like really low. Probably 1.3m

It's a shame that only so many watch bbuk now would hate it if only CBB was still on
