I know right. They thought they were getting Charlie Sheen and instead they got Bobby Sabel.

OMG!

No Dick head actually tuned in for Pamela She's rumoured every year.

But yes, we'll probably loose about 2 Million of them - bringing us down to 4 Million, because of Charlie Sheen not appearing.

And then lack of live feed, that'll probably knock the ratings down to about 2 Million.

Their own fault though.

[joeysteele]

I read that this morning, 2 to 3 million would have been a really great launch for Channel 5s CBB, but 5+ million is phenomonal.

[Lostie!]

I expect them to drop, but at least the launch got fantastic ratings. Thanks for posting!

[Tom4784]

It's surprising, I expect it to drop down to 1-2 million per night now though. I imagine when the deal runs out C5 might opt to keep CBB with figures like that.

I don't think tonight will do too bad, all the BB related status's from my friends were pretty much jizzing over the fact that Jedward, Amy and Tara were there. Let's not forget that Jedward were watched by around 15m people.

The ratings will obviously drop. CBB7's launch night got something crazy like 6.7m if I remember correctly and yet the series average was just 3.7m. The launch is always more popular than the series average.

Live feed will not affect the ratings though. 80k people bought live feed last year - that's less than 100,000, it won't even take a .1 off the ratings (and that's assuming all those 80k people abandon the show - I was one of those people and i'll still be watching this year!).

Whats ven more impressive is that apparently according to a DS post, the first 5 mins only averaged 3.63m, and it rose dramatically to 6m at 10pm, an hour later!

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Thats incredible, i really didn't think it would get so many viewers.

[ElProximo]

I'm not surprised and I wont be when there is a drastic decline in those ratings. But there should be some kind of bump for the 'regular season' opener.
