Oh dear... Big Brother came bottom last night with rubbish ratings
 

Oh dear. Big Brother's ratings woes continue, with last night's highlights show coming bottom out of all the big 5 channels! :shocked:

Terrible rating.

It only got 2.2m at 9pm, beaten by every other channel.

BBC1 - 3.0m
BBC2 - 2.5m
ITV1 - 3.2m
Five - 2.6m

This is terrible news for Big Brother and the rubbish ratings show that the programme requires live feed to survive.

Yes, you heard it: BIG BROTHER CAME BOTTOM

Beaten by 2 and 5?!

Jesus.

To be honest, that's fairly average for this series. Wasn't there one show with like 1.9million?

its an imporement

its never going to compete with the big stations anymore

this BB has been a slow burner

BBC2 and Channel Five are not big!

Even last year, Big Brother was beating these channels and sometimes beat ITV1.

Now it's being beaten by everbody! :joker:

ha that is well bad csi:miami had more uk viewers than bb :/

But let's be honest, it's hardly been compelling viewing plus the format is getting obsolete. Not easy saying that when your a BB fan.

what do you expect when people vote out the best characters?
people would rather watch hira do nothing and say nothing and be involved in none of the storylines, than kenny who as made a huge impact in three days so much so people on here cant stop talking about him.

thats the reason bb loses ratings every year because the so called fans of the show boot out the stars and keep in the dead wood.
and thats why bb is coming to an end.

this has been the best BB since 5 for me , i've been gripped from Day 1

i suppose different strokes for diferent folks

yeah terrible ratings

Well its no secret BB has been shedding viewers over recent years.

I didn't actually watch the last two series. But this one has grabbed my interest again.

But the contract runs out next year so its the right time to end it all.

When it comes to ratings its all relative; would CH4 get more viewers with a different show at that time? Low BB ratings can still be higher than they usually get in those time slots.

ps; should also remember that BB gets repeated a few times too so viewers may watch it later instead.

with +1 is got 2.7million which is brilliant for this series.

i really like this series

CSI Miami is pretty awesome though :lovedup:

What you on about???? It got 2.7m!!! It was the highest non eviction show of the series!(apart from the 1st HL show)
And look at the difference between the top and the bottom, there was half a million in between teh top and bottom.

It got 2.2m during 9-10pm, you liar. Look here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009...ics-tv-ratings

So in its slot, it came last!

Shame.
One of the best episodes so far but I admit if it wasn't for iplayer I would have watched BB2 at 9pm. There's always +4 and of course on demand as well and on demand views are not counted.

Wrong, +1 is ALWAYS added, thats why its there:

ITV- 3.2m
BBC1- 3.0m
C4- 2.7m
Five- 2.6m
BBC2- 2.5m

it was the highest because people wanted to see kenny in action, and now they're gonna get rid of him. so expect ratings to drop back under 2 million next week.
so called bb fans are killing bb by voting out the charecters.
wake up and smell the coffee.

+1 isn't always added. Media Guardian didn't add them.

The fact is that between 9-10pm, Big Brother came directly bottom! :blush2:

what do they expect when live feed is on at 12.30 and 1.30 am and the highlight shows is on for 1hr a day and repeated on the other stations several times a day, people are loosing interested in the show, i know i am.

Umm its not my fault that people cant stand Kanneth, he's a dickhead, i dont find it interesting to watch someone that pisses me off and nor do other people. I like watching interesting villain characters like Victor, Jason and Rex. Not unlikeable dullards like Kenneth.

one of the best episodes so far you say, and who was the star? kenny, so why is everyone gonna vote him out?

I'm sorry, but you know it's bad when people are in this thread defending a 2.2 rating. There are no excuses.

Perhaps it would be a better thread if you analyse what was on in competition?


The argument falls flat unless you compare what else was on and what audience it gets. BBC1 and BBC2 both had a new series on and 5 had its biggest hitter CSi. Itv1 had another new series.

Not surprising that BB came last but the figs for BB were still strong and I bet the demographics (what count) were perfect for the advertisers (who count).
