Farhad, I'm going to summarise your statements. During out viewing and statistical analysis, BB5 without a doubt had higher ratings than BB7 did, which means that to an extent it was more popular with the public. Think of it this way, the BB5 finale peaked at 9m viewers, the BB7 one peaked at 8.2m only to see the most boring and insipid housemate of the series win. You also only compared the viewing figures until Nikki was evicted on Day 58, trying to prove a point that we have still invalidated. Even the text that you wrote disproved you point. You wrote that BB5 had higher ratings yet you still said that it was more successful in that category. That makes absolutely no sense.
Farhad, you believe that ratings are the only measure of the public's opinion toward a series. I'll take BB6 as an example. Despite getting 4.4m viewers as a whole, BB6 is widely regarded as one of the best series of the show, especially by BBUK fans. The number doesn't mean much, rather the viewing percentage means more. BB6 had lower numbers, but still got around 20% of the viewing audience. That's around the same as BB7, again I've invalidated your statement. By the way, one of the main reasons that BB7 got big ratings was because of the success of CBB4. It upped the hype for Big Brother after the "fiasco" that Channel 4 faced after BB6's ratings.

I so agree, BB7 has had better rating than BB5, except for the fial night, I compare the first 8 weeks, and BB7 beat the BB5 in ratings, I could not compare 9 and 10, as it is unfair, so BB5 has not beaten BB7 in ratings, except the fianl night.

I'll challenge that (espeically the finale comment):
Big Brother 5 - Launch night: 6.7m (34.7%) with a peak of 7.2m (37.6%)
Big Brother 7 - Launch night: 6.9m (30.6%) with a peak of 8.1m (36.7%)
Note that although BB7 had more actual viewers, more television watchers watched BB5 on its launch night. Again, as any person who understands ratings will tell you, the percentage is more important.
Big Brother 5 - Emma and Michelle move to the bedsit on Day 15: 5.9m (28.2%)
Big Brother 7 - Sezer is evicted on Day 16: 4.9m (percentage unavailable)
Big Brother 5 - Day 20 highlights: 6.5m (35.3%)
Big Brother 7 - Day 21 highlights: 4.6m (20.3%)
Same day of the week but different day numbers due to BB7's Thursday launch
Big Brother 5 - Michelle is evicted on Day 64: 6.3m (30.3%)
Big Brother 7 - Jayne is evicted on Day 65: 4.6 (24.6%)
Big Brother 5 - Finale part 2: 8.3m (41.2%) with a peak of 9.0m (47.8%)
Big Brother 7 - Finale part 2: 7.7m (39.0%) with a peak of 8.2m (percentage unavailable)
This means that more people cared about who won BB5 than BB7, espeically since we knew who the winner would be in BB7 from before Day 1 as the producers let out about Pete and that they knew that he would win for some stupid reason because the voting public knows nothing about who should win Big Brother.

you got it wrong, my calcualtion was, adding all the days rating for each week and getting a total for that week and then doing the same for other weeks, and then getting totals for 8 weeks , you just calculated the two eviction days, and the final night, try and read my calculation post again. for example, day 1 has 4m viewers tune in, day 2 has 5m, day 3, has 6m, day 4 has 4m, day 5 had 5m, day 6 has 3m, and day 7 has 4m, adding all those figures come to a total of 31 million for the week.
