*The Official BB14 Ratings Thread*
 

It's that time of the year again to start a new ratings thread as the launch date should be released later today when the schedule is out. Here we will discuss the ratings across the entire series and make comparisons to previous years.

We won't know until later what competition it faces, but if we are to believe that it launches on the 13th June. Here are the overnight ratings of the last two regular series:
BB12- 2.6m
BB13- 2.7m

I reckon it could reach 3m with the new presenter, ad campaign and changes. Let's not forget that CBB11 finished with 3.61m officially. How do you think it will rate? Up or down on BB12-BB13? Down on CBB11 launch?

I think we could just about get a 3 Million rating for the launch... just.

Couldn't this have waited till the schedules are out later? We can't predict anything with any accuracy without knowing what it's up against, so the first two pages are just going to be the usual tedious blind guesses based on nothing.

Well considering it's only competition of the night is the premiere of Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model, it should get high ratings. I doubt that the majority of BB fans are also B&INTM fans too (although I am a fan of both) so it should get a strong viewing figure for Launch Night.

I don't have time later to make the thread. I wanted to get the thread the closest it could be to the schedule being released.

Woo it's that time of year again :D

It's no big deal, just makes finding post-schedule predictions (with everyone making two, three if the schedule changes) and the first set of ratings later in the series a pain in the arse.

Salv, don't spose you could recap all the c5 official ratings in the op, do ya? Lol.. The last Cbb was the highest rated c5 series wasn't it?

If Channel 4 Dares puts a movie against it :devil:

I'm thinking 2.8m.

3.2m

Launch:
CBB8 - 5.1m
BB12 - 2.77m
CBB9 - 3.6m
BB13 - 2.93m
CBB10 - 2.96m
CBB11 - 3.83m

Averages:
CBB8 - 2.8m
BB12 - 1.6m
CBB9 - 2.6m
BB13 - 1.8m
CBB10 - 2.2m
CBB11 - 2.81m

CBB8- 2.8m
BB12- 1.6m
CBB9- 2.6m
BB13- 1.8m
CBB10- 2.3m
CBB11- 2.8m
BB14- ?? (if it gets a 3m launch, I predict around 1.9-2.1m official).

Basically CBB11 was the best rated on Ch5 even though CBB8 also got 2.8m, BUT the launch figure for CBB8 bumped the average. So in terms of officials excl launch, CBB11 was the most popular. Good sign for BB14?

Quite impressive ratings tbf, hopefully bb14 will improve slightly on bb13. If it can do that then we will have another likely renewal the end of next year.

CBB's have, BB's have been much lower than it could be getting.

If they promoted bb in the same was as Cbb, they could get alot more.

I don't think the promotion is the full story, but it's a part of it.

I genuinely think have a competent host will help things too.

Emma should be a draw, she trended every eviction night.

Can't wait to see her in action.

Make of that what you will haha.

Same :laugh:.
