I think it will be a great series! As people have said, the drama is coming naturally and theres quite a few different personalities. We have already heard and seen alliance form, so the house should explode real soon. I definitely feel the ratings will grow. And the twists are pretty shocking and refreshing this year.

I agree with this, It only got bad ratings because of the football clash, I'm sure it will pick as the weeks goes on

[RichardG]

Terrible hopefully it will pick up but regardless, I can't see this series reaching the peaks of BB14.

[Loukas]

Hopefully it will pick up, it has all the right ingredients for a fantastic series

[JohnnyBB]

Theres only 950k hardcore veiwers that would go out there way to watch the show.

Somebody from C5 commented on the Ratings

A spokesman for Channel 5 said today: “We are pleased with the very strong performance of the show across the two launch nights.”

If there happy with it then it's fine, I've looked at C5's viewing figures for most there programs and there peak is usually 1.7 in most of there programs so I'm not worried at all with it being axed

However, I'd imagine that BB costs much more to produce than their other shows do, so consistent low ratings under 1m could be a problem if they know they can make other ones for far cheaper with just slightly lower viewing figures than BB.

It went under 1 Million because of the Football, how many time do I have to say it

It seems poor, BB14 never went that low, buy BB12-BB13 went lower. Also, a positive sign is that it actually beat BBC2 and CH4 and came 3rd in its slot, for Ch5 to do that is quite impressive on a Saturday especially, so I wouldn't worry too much.

1.3m tonight?

Ah did it? That changes a lot then in my view. If it beat two other channels, with one showing "important football" and the other being BBC1, then there's little to worry about at this stage in my opinion.

Serves them right for beating the second launch.

It wasn't against football on Friday (afaik) but the ratings were still low given that it's a launch episode. All I was saying is that in the event the ratings are consistently low all series regardless of whether or not it's against football, then it could be a possibility C5 look at it from the angle of how much it costs to produce vs the returns they receive. That's all, I wasn't basing the entire comment on last nights figures.

However, BB12s ratings were terrible but they still renewed the contract so you never know I guess.

[JohnnyBB]

If raitings slump under a million again tonight theyll be some serious troubel!

[Rob!]

It surely won't... Sundays are normally pretty good. 1.30 maybe?

[emmetmcl]

I'd imagine it'll get around 1.4 for Sunday night.

[Cal.]

Hoping for a big increase.

[Josy]

Saw someone on DS say this

DD got 1.6million.
I'm guessing BB got around 1.4million.

Not sure how trustworthy that is or where the got the info..

[Jake.]

DD did really well

[Will.]

Hope it got over 1.3 M, about 1.4M would be good.

[Josy]

What is it Jake?
