Official thread for the viewing figures.

For BB17 it looks like that not only is it around 200k+ up on BB16, it looks to be on par with BB12 and BB15 too. Can this series of CBB18 follow the trend on increasing on the previous series?

That previous series being CBB16 (not CBB17) as that aired in January, as opposed to summer.

From CBB8 onwards, this is the OFFICIAL averages of their series:

CBB8- 2.8m
CBB9- 2.6m
CBB10- 2.2m
CBB11- 2.8m
CBB12- 2.3m
CBB13- 3.1m
CBB14- 2.1m
CBB15- 3.1m
CBB16- 1.9m
CBB17- 2.8m

I've highlighted the SUMMER series as that is what it is best to compare this series to.

And here are the LAUNCH overnights and officials from CBB12 onwards (i ill put the officials in brackets)

CBB12- 2.83m (3.18m)
CBB13- 3.40m (3.69m)
CBB14- 2.36m (2.75m)
CBB15- 3.27m (3.64m)
CBB16- 2.22m (2.66m)
CBB17- 2.80m (3.30m)

Yet again, I have highlighted the SUMMER series as those are the series we will be comparing this series to. I personally don't think we will even go anywhere near even the summer series bar CBB16. I think the only comparable here would be CBB16 because the summer series have run out of steam, whereas the winter ones haven't.

I predict 1.8m overnight for tonight (2.2m official).

If we are to dissect further, CBB16 launched with almost 1m more than BB16 final finished, so if we do that, then this series will launch at 2.5m, which to me looks way too high.
