Celebrity Big Brother 18 Ratings Thread
 

Since there's only around two weeks left until it launches, thought we could discuss.

Last year CBB launched with 2.22M.

I think maybe a little more?? Regular BB's had good promotion and has had good things said about it, like BB14 and the launch a few days after that got 3.2m, even in the summer.

And since this series is 300k behind that but has been getting similar reception, I'd say the launch could optimistically be around 2.9m maybe late 2.8s

Shut it!

Yeah I think it will launch well.

Launch will be 1.9/2 million I think.

Might scrape a twoey

Which is ridiculous considering they're spending millions for an extra 500-600k viewers

Bump! Sorry Will, didn't see this!

From CBB8 onwards, this is the OFFICIAL averages of their series:

CBB8- 2.8m
CBB9- 2.6m
CBB10- 2.2m
CBB11- 2.8m
CBB12- 2.3m
CBB13- 3.1m
CBB14- 2.1m
CBB15- 3.1m
CBB16- 1.9m
CBB17- 2.8m

I've highlighted the SUMMER series as that is what it is best to compare this series to.

And here are the LAUNCH overnights and officials from CBB12 onwards (i ill put the officials in brackets)

CBB12- 2.83m (3.18m)
CBB13- 3.40m (3.69m)
CBB14- 2.36m (2.75m)
CBB15- 3.27m (3.64m)
CBB16- 2.22m (2.66m)
CBB17- 2.80m (3.30m)

Yet again, I have highlighted the SUMMER series as those are the series we will be comparing this series to. I personally don't think we will even go anywhere near even the summer series bar CBB16. I think the only comparable here would be CBB16 because the summer series have run out of steam, whereas the winter ones haven't.

I predict 1.8m overnight for tonight (2.2m official).

If we are to dissect further, CBB16 launched with almost 1m more than BB16 final finished, so if we do that, then this series will launch at 2.5m, which to me looks way too high.

I think it will do well

Last year was a different situation. There was a 5 week break between BB16 and CBB16. They basically had to restart the whole campaign whereas this year with that little gap between the series, it should be easier to hold BB's figures with adding some extra for CBB.

You reckon? Hmm, I'm not sure whether a 2 day break is better or the longer break is better? They both have pros and cons.

A positive is that BB17 ended 220k up on BB16, so the reveal of CBB starting would have been seen by more people, and another positive is that people are probably less exhausted with a shorter BB17 and a better received BB17 compared to a longer, badly received BB16.

Celebrity Big Brother: Live Launch: 2.24m (12.9%) excluding +1

Now, this has really surprised me given the lower launch figure for BB17. I believe the figure is higher than CBB16's and could be higher than CBB14's (which got 2.2 and 2.35 respectively I believe)

Wow that's really good! I think thats a lot higher than last year

CBB16 got 2.22M including +1.

The share is also very impressive

Oh yeah didn't look at the share, really good.

Very good. Looks to be around 2.4m with +1

That would beat CBB14's overnight as well, wouldn't it?

Impressive that it's beat the last 2 years of Summer CBB launches.

Celebrity Big Brother: 2.36m (13.6%) inc +1”

2.36 (13.6%) million last night which is
Up 800k on the BBUK launch
Up 120k on last years launch
Most noticeably - down 400k on January, when last summer was down on January 2015 by 1 million.

Pretty strong I'd say. Last year dropped to 1.55m overnight (also a Froday) so hopefully it holds up better than that.

An excellent rating for c5s biggest show CBB gets great treatment by five

That could be nearly 3m when officials are counted. CBB17's official was 3.3m and it's only down 400k! :fc:

Oh wow a great launch rating!

Wow! I didn't think it would hit 2m last night so fair play! :clap1: Amazon start.

:clap1: agreed, what an Amazon start

I've literally just woken up :joker:

And thats why they favour CBB

And the reason it succeeds is because they favour it. It's a cyclical thing

I've never wanted a series to flop so bad

It's the other way round. They favour it because it succeeds

And the reason it succeeds is because they favour it by putting more time and effort into it, again it's a cyclical thing

Yep, typical they built a new house and exterior for CBB :rolleyes:

Great rating :clap1:

pmsl you cite that as a reason but in typical fashion with C5 twists they closed it after a bloody week. Building an extension is for the long term of the franchise, not exclusively the civilian series, they can still axe that and use the house for CBB - makes no difference

There's like no proof they deliberately make cbb better than the normal one. Why would they do anything other than try and make both shows good?
