Pop Idol in retrospect was an absoloute monster considering the fact that they received MORE votes than viewers which meant individuals were voting many more times each.
For evictions? Lets predict, judging by these...
BB5 Vanessa vs Dan (which lasted for almost 2 weeks due to Fight Night)got 800,000.
Ahmed's eviction got around 1.2m for the 3 days, and Michelle's eviction got 2m+ and that was seen as massive!
BB9 was higher than BB8 voting number wise despite BB9 getting lower ratings, and BB12 did very well considering the ratings being low (but that may be because of the Facebook votes), I heard per week BB12 was getting around 150,000 votes. However BB13 was getting under 80,000 a week and BB14 around the same.
I would predict, 60,000 at most nowadays to be fair.

I was about to post that 50 to 60k would be about right but I chose not to in case I got grief, but it turns out my mate and you conclude that figure which is pretty pathetic, don't you think. all this crap bb deal our for a few thousand quid when the series has a big sponsorship tie down.
