I do agree when people say viewing habits have changed though and that's why the overnights are poor. I think the first Sunday of BB15 got 1.9 in officials if im right which is promising for the rest of the series.
Just waiting on those next officials so we can make a proper judgement.

Firstly it's a difference of around 290,000 if you want to be entirely specific and yes the first eviction was down some 800,000. But remember, BB14 had NO sporting event competiton, the fact that the eviction still garnered 1.0m this series with sporting competition of the likes of some 10 million, that's very good considering!
It's also worth noting the first week of officials
BB14 OFFICIALS WEEK 1
2.3m, 2.4m, 1.7m, 1.9m
BB15 OFFICIALS WEEK 1
2.3m, 1.8m, 1.3m, 1.7m
These ratings are still fairly solid when you consider Saturday shows are always way lower and this series has so much sporting competition, taking a large proportion of its target audience. I also stated that BB14 decreased in viewers quite some way on it's second week, whilst the current BB15 has increased slightly (OVERNIGHTS) so it's highly likely that both BB14 and BB15 will average similarly, i believe, with officials holding a change of some 100,000. It certainly won't be as poor as 1.6 million for BB12 and BB13, as even in it's first 4 days, it was above the 1.6m mark for officials, and as I have said, ratings for the second week have improved.. so it'll easily beat those ratings.
I understand it's hard to state where ratings will go after the second week, but in all honesty, it's not going to be terrible. As I keep stating, it's the NO.1 show on C5. It's got TONS of competition AND this year's series has had far more of a backlash from viewers than the previous as people, although loving the theme are disinterested in the HMs, so in my eyes the somewhat lower ratings are completely justified. There is no need to worry or fret.
