If it was the live feed in CBB6 then why did the ratings not actually fall through the floor until the final week? The first week rated very well, the middle week OKish but nothing great and the last week awful. It was a rubbish series and was just generally boring.

Actually the first week didn't rate well. It averaged just 3.7m for the first week. The lowest first week average in many years.

BB10 has had one show so far. We won't get any indication how it will really do until Tuesday morning. Tonight is bound to be around 2m, but because Saturdays always are. Sunday has competition and is on too late, but even if it does do well it still probably won't be much of an indication because its a special show, so the next opportunity is most likely Monday night highlights. The ratings don't settle until about 2-3 weeks in anyway. They can go down, but they can go up as well. We'll just have to wait and see. Plus lets remember the 2.7m hasn't had the +1 added to it which is most likely to bring it up to at least 3m which makes the drop a fair bit smaller. Then with the official ratings about 2m will be lost from launch-highlights 1 which is about the same as most series'.

Why are you being so defensive of the poor ratings? Traditionally in the last few years, the 1st highlights show has been one of the most watched highlights show of the entire series.

It's all down hill from here on unfortunately, unless there's a huge twist or event. The lack of live feed has caused a bigger decline than it would naturally see had lf been there.
