In pretty sure 1.2M when England are playing is outstanding ratings, and ratings have been quite good, apart from a couple. Do you think tellymix are correct?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The show has had bad ratings.

Its a shame and there will be a flood of comments here now defending it with every excuse under the sun.

Even with the world cup the episodes not facing any competition have been way down, it seems people chose to watch either BB or the world cup this year as both need a lot of time invested into them.

Even without the world cup after launch night part 1 think it would probably still be doing poorly in the ratings as it didnt particularly have a good response from the viewing public.

BB has had terrible ratings. It will be off air soon, no doubt.

[Jamesy]

I thought it has been doing pretty damn fine, especially the past few days. 1.2-1.4m per night is around the same as previous C5 series. The first week was a bit crap but it has picked up now. Don't see what's so bad about that.

Its 400,000 down on last year I think.

To be fair with votes, I bet they have raked it in this week given the anger against Pauline!

Ah fair enough. It's still not too bad. Obviously any loss is not good but BB still shows it has a strong amount of viewers around the 1 million mark. I guess when we reach the end of the series it will be clear whether these ratings are killing the show off or keeping it steady still.

This has been on my mind for months. I was assuming we were going to hear something at the end of May/start of June. Worrying that no news has come. I guess either the Viacom deal is interfering with that or they're waiting to see how this series does. Big Brother has hardly been dying on C5 so it would be strange if they did not take the show further.

They aren't as bad as some are saying

This. If I remember it was the same last year? And it's against the world cup so it's fine. Don't sweat about it.

Last years overnight average' were 1.6 this year it's 1.2.

Theres a reason there re articles like this, people aren't making it up its fact that the ratings are down and by more then people expected.

They are still high though. There wasn't the world cup last year.

That's false. According to BBspy, last years overnights is 1.48m, and its overnights average after 2 weeks it was actually less than 1.4m.

This last week the overnight average of BB15 has been around 1.3m, so it is 100k down on BB14... oh, and the last 2 nights have beaten the equivalent of BB14.

Since Monday, 1.4m, 1.2m, 1.4m, 1.3m. Three of the four are higher than BB14. With ratings like this, we are looking at 1.6-1.9m officials.

The ratings are not bad at all, they are currently better than BB12-BB13 and are creeping up on BB14 now.

The majority has been down it may have picked up the last 3 or 4 days which is brilliant I don't want it to fail as some people may think.

Those ratings though are just you rounding them off seeing as we have no no plus 1.

Don't know why they haven't been released, I hope the officials include them and theres a big increase. I know BB14 did well in officials so maybe this year will be the same.

I don't recall BB14 being 1.4 in the first fortnight though I thought it was more 1.6 then 1.8/1.9 officially.

C'mon Salv even you have said how poor some of the ratings have been and it takes a lot for you to admit that lol.

*1.48 if you're referring to the entire series

And ratings have actually matched BB14s ratings a few times/actually beaten them, BB14s ratings grew after the first couple of weeks

Yes! It's hard to judge the bad press and the 'terrible ratings' for this series when a single week can completely change the ratings direction. BB15 is just having teething issues, wait until this whole Power HM debate that seems to be continuos, begins to slow in tempo, then we'll see more fun and frolics, while still getting the desired friction and fear!

[Anothercat]

I think this years has been quite good, certainly more entertaining than last year

[Marsh.]

Is BB on its last legs 4 years after the "last ever" one?

Please look at the ratings on nights when it wasn't against the football and still could barely hold onto 1 million viewers.

No it hasn't.

Its down on last year even when the footballs not on fgs go and compare the ratings from highlights from lst year and this year and then come back.

You are talking nonsense.

It's been against the football every night and it clashes like 30 min in, people won't watch 30 min in they will watch it On Demand or on the repeats

Well tbf, people that are watching the football and haven't been watching BB would more than likely find it pointless watching even when the footballs not on because they wont have a clue whats been happening.

We're in the digital age. Rating don't mean much at all any more

[Jay.]

That's true, I don't think ratings count on demand views do they? What about recordings?

On Demand etc, counts in the official ratings they are brought out a few weeks later
