Erm, no they ****ing didnt.

BIG Brother 2012 kicked off with a bang as more than five million tuned in. It beat last year’s first show which included a surprise appearance by Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson, 44.

what did it really get?

[Smithy]

thats probably what it peaked with

I dont see the problem, if people think that lots of other people are watching it, surely they might tune in to see what the fuss is

They didn't. The audition had 1.18m (5.2%), IIRC.

Wtf is the "reach"?

Reach is the amount of people were "reached", maybe by not watching but by hearing the show was on... I never get it really. Not totally sure though.

You mean total reach? That's the total number of people who watched a particular television show. So the total reach would probably be the launch with +1, any repeats (if there were any), etc.

The +1 is included in the average. Repeats are included in the official rating which is the average plus the amount of people who recorded the show or watched the show within a certain period (I think a week).

Peak = the most people watching at once
Reach = the amount of people who watched at some point during the show
Average (the normal rating) = the amount of people watching on average throughout

So channel flickers?

What, the total reach, the peak or in general?

This, except that they're all done to the nearest five minutes. So out of the whole 1 hour and 45 minutes it had a five-minute peak of 3.09 (3.1)m, but that's the most accurate you'll find, really. It could've had a 10-second peak of 7.7m. Who knows?

And people who only watch a certain bit. Though I think they have to have watched for 3 minutes to count, so I don't think it includes people who don't actually watch any of it before flicking to another channel again, not sure.

And over 4 Million of them won't be back because there's no Live Feed. xo

I might not be back if we don't get that one hour later in the series, or at least a good technical explanation for why they now can't do it.

Oh, right.

Oh, come on, Paddy. Live Feed ain't that bleeding special...unless it's when they're sleeping.

Edited my post. I meant the amount of people who watched at some point during the original broadcast, the highest 5 minute average is the peak. Though neither include repeats other than +1, they're only included in the officials.

TBH I didn't think it was dude - I thought only the forums missed it.

But today in school people kept saying to me,
'Why can't you watch it on the red button afterwards anymore?' I was just like

In a way, I was annoyed at them for only realizing 4 years on that the red button was gone - but I'm relieved that alot of people outside these forums also miss Live Feed, I put a status on Facebook earlier about it and expected to be called sad, and it got a great response from 'the casual viewer' aswell.

January already proved that it wasn't just the forums.
