This series was never destined for high ratings like those on C4, it was only ever aired so that Channel 4 could fulfil the contract with Endemol, whilst resting the show and to try new things out.

Let me explain. By saying 'Habit' I meant as in people who have watched BB by habit for years and are only watching this one on and off now because it has the Big Brother name on it. People like me.
And again , the ratings have been falling with each passing week. Your argument to this after your trumpeting of the good ratings is that the show was never destined for high ratings? Thats rubbish in my opinion. Experimental is an overused word. Apart from changing the usual celebrity twist as damage control after last year and replacing a group of freaks with a group of talented individuals , what exactly has been 'tested out'?
C4 bosses were sure as hell hoping for better ratings than this. All tv shows are put on the box with the aim of achieving great ratings. Thats the business.

For E4, they are pulling in great ratings but it was never destined to match the viewing figures of other BB series like you was expecting. Plenty has been different this series.
