The ratings are really dissapointing and i dont think tonights early start will help either. They didnt even advertise at the end of last nights episode that it would be starting early

[Raph]

2.5 Only?

[Jack_]

Oh dear...what happened to the over 3m mark?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Fridays 2nd eviction show only got 2.5 aswell dont know whats going on.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Heres the ratings so far:

Launch 4.1m 18%
Wednesday 3.4m 19%
Thursday 3.3m 19%
Friday (1) 3.1m 15%
Friday (2) 2.5m 16%

Week Avg 3.3m 17%

Week2:
Saturday: 2.5 12%


These are not officials so will rise but they do include +1

I think the problem is that people think they're above watching Big Brother the 8m that used to watch it think all the new HM's are 'wannabes' or in the case of this series 'has beens' they think they're socially better, my auntie was saying this about herself but she admitted to watching this years CBB and loving it, so I convinced her to watch UBB so ratings are about to soar to 2,500,001.

how are Sunday's figures there????

No - tonight's early show won't attract as many as would normally watchh - tho people who miss it can use +1 if they have digital, to watch at "normal" time

Obviously, Coolio v Nadia and Coolio's departure may bring in extras - especially those who like "fights"

Sorry ammended it to saturday.

It just pisses me off that they couldnt even anounce on last nights highlights that bb would start earlier tonight.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im just waiting to see the officials.

Hopefully they can bring those 2 dissapointing rated shows up to 3.m

The ratings counting is a load of crap. How do they count 2.5 million viewers?

It's stoopid.

They have a panel of about 5000 who are meant to represent 60m people, its daft. I think the ratings are 2 or 3 times more than what these figures suggest, most other shows included.

Its a load of crap, its just guesswork

11,000.

And they're carefully picked to represent the national demographics.

Thats still an extremely small sample no matter how good a cross section it is. Its roughly 1 person representing 6000 people in the country. Thats hardly representative.

4000 and the margin of error is +/- 3%.

This is why they NEED Charley

BB10 would have killed for those ratings. It's the same with every program ever, the first few episodes will do well and then it drops slightly to a more consistent number.

That sounds like a fair summary this series has faired better than many would have expected it may give c4 food for thought.

Oh yeah the ratings are so mucg better than BB10 all im saying is that alot of people were expecting the overnights to hit the 3 million mark. However with the officials yet to be released theres still a chance they can

[M X]

Saturday shows are always a bit crap though, i hardly watch them either, they are more or less a replay of the live show the night before.

Plus many of big brothers target audience are out on sat nights.

True friday and saturday nights always draw the lowest ratings of the week.

People allways say that a saturday show is just a replay of the eviction but its not lol. The eviction only takes up about 5 minutes of the show and the rest is completly new footage.
