Big Brothers ratings fell to an average 2.5 million to 3 million in the last few series on Channel 4 anyway, from 4 to 5 million previously.
That actually demonstrates that it was failed by Channel 4.

We didn't need Davina for this new series,she was really good in the first few series but quite frankly should have been replaced by BB7 or 8 at the latest.
She had gone very stale and her eviction night interviews became uninteresting and irrelevant.

Channel 5 are watched a lot, Home and Away and Neighbours still can get 1 to 1.5 million viewers,they were saved by Channel 5.
I personally don't expect Channel 5 to get more than 2 million ratings,I hope they do but that depends on BB followers,however not to watch it because it is on a different Channel is beyond understanding.

If it gets 2 million viewers average then that will only be around 500,000 less than on the last 2 series on Channel 4 so hardly a failure.
Will it ever be the same as on Channel 4? Well I certainly hope not, especially not like the last 2 series at any rate, Channel 4 allowed it to fall in the ratings and I just have a feeling they may come to regret losing it after all as I can only see it being hailed a success on Channel 5, as long as its so called followers who claim they still want it on TV watch it and participate in it.

Channel 5 have saved it, Channel 4 would have discarded it,not for a year or so but for good,we should be grateful for that determination from Channel 5 and get behind the new series.
