2.2m is quite disappointing, TBH. I would've thought because:

a) It was only 2 years ago when CBB12 was launching with 3.2m, which is 1m more.
b) It's lower than last years CBB14 launch which averaged 2.8m.
c) It had a gap whereas the above launched 3 days after the civilian series. The gap meant more promotion and media attention for CBB, so you'd think it would rate higher.
d) That 2.2m is lower than the BB14/BB15 launches. To think a civilian series last year launched higher than a summer celebrity series, which usually rates around half a million more.

It'll probably go up to 2.4m in officials, but that's still a low rating, or am I just being negative?

Good share, though.

Generally all shows are now declining year on year apart from bake off it seems 1m in a few years will be the new 3m

CBB14 was 2.4m overnight

It rated 2.8m officially. The overnight figure is always lower than the official rating and the official is one taken into account.

Yeah but you can't compare overnights with officials. It's 200k down in overnights which isn't that bad, wait til the officials to compare officials

Yeah, probably by 200k

decent, BB14 had 500k more viewers than BB16 so 2.2 is good considering BB16.

You are comparing the overnight to the officials in the start of your post! CBB14 launched with 2.4 overnight so only 200k higher and after the car crash of BB15.
