3.6m PEAK LAST NIGHT!
 

Celebrity Big Brother peaked with a massive 3.58m (18.1%) last night...

I know, holy cow!! :shocked:

We're just waiting for the average! It should be a 3m+ average if the peak was at 3.6m!

22:30 - Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side: 1.29m (8.9%)
23:30 to 24:10 - Celebrity Big Brother Live: 863k (10.4%)

I don't think it's been tapechecked so the average may be higher. According to the breakdown, it looks like it peaked with Price's entrance. Fantastic for BOTS and that is an incredible rating and share for BB Live!

Hope tape checking squeezes it over 3m! Tonight it'll be low 2's again, but Sunday is the test... Could we see another near 3m figure?!

Terrific news!!!

I'm glad that C5 are doing well. They just need to fill in the spot between Highlights, and BOTS a bit better. They need something like Battlestar Galactica.

What on earth is happening to the world?

:clap2:

It's excellent news. CBB and BB are definitely BACK with a BANG!:cheer2::dance::dance:

This season has been great for BB.

Perched for them renewing it for 78 years.

I know many disagree, and that is fair enough, but i feel the normal series does a lot of damage to what the CBB series achieves. CBB draws in new viewers and when the normal BB comes back on people begin to slowly lose interest in the show again and the ratings drop. Then it's up to the next CBB to regain those viewers.

Amazing raiting. It will be interesting to see what happens now with ratings in the week.

With these highly successful winter CBBs just makes me wish they would scrap the summer CBBs that never do as well. They really should stick to one outstanding and iconic CBB per year.

This proves they should have only the winter series. I mean, what do they gain from the summer CBB series which probably gets around 1m less than the winter CBB despite spending a lot of money? They can save a lot of money for cutting back again with 1 BB and 1 CBB.

I think if there is a problem with the 'normal' BB, then it's that blurry line between civilian and celeb. Many people who've been in BB could have sneaked into CBB, and vice versa.

I think the trick is to make the 'normal' BB into just that. About the average person. No more wannabes, models, etc. Let's have Dave, 32, who works as a bricklayer. Susan, 19, a receptionist - never slept with a celeb. Pete, a road sweeper from Hull - doesn't want to be a TV presenter.

That doesn't mean boring because they must have personalities. But no more wannabes. Geddit.

Is the series rating better than last years? That got 3 million most nights.

Last Jan actually got 3m+ just three times in overnights. Launch, Lee's eviction and final. What you meant is that there were a lot of 3m+ officials, which there will be during this series too.

As of this point, in overnights it is beating last Jan.

Yay!

:amazed:

This series of cbb is doing amazingly well, I hope channel 5 do renew it they would be stupid not too

Nothing on channel 5 gets anywhere close to these ratings.

Lets just hope BB16 doesn't kill the good run BB is having.

It was like this last year, there was a buzz around CBB13 and then BB15 came along and killed it.

:hello:
