Probably not but the lower key start to the series, with the fact a CBB is starting all off anyway, may mean much more publicity after the start and by the time the BB series begins the ratings will be on the rise rather than as they were or even falling.

It could be a very good result in the end,to be seen as growing in ratings as the series progresses.

Agreed. If it increases it would be even better than launching with a decent figure, this is how BB1-BB5 progressed. And I noticed that BB10 did the same, and is the only series since BB5 that actually increased. The first 3 weeks averaged 2.2m (Week 2 and 3 were around 2m average), however mid series, it was hitting averages of 2.5m.

It might.
