It's baffling really. Lack of advertising, lack of interest from the media, the series starting earlier, more competition on TV, BB15 having an adverse effect on the civilian series, this cast not arguing 24/7, not enough old HMs this year... it could be because of any or a combination of those or even other reasons. I doubt any of us could figure out a solid answer though

It is rather strange though how CBB gets over double the viewers. It should have the opposite effect. CBB popular with viewers = people like the style of Big Brother on Channel 5 = more people tune in to the civilian series since they like the way C5 do it
