I guess tonight will be a moment of truth to see if people actually watch an eviction

[y.winter]

This is truly embarrassing. Heads should be rolling in C5. This is not how a broadcaster should handle its flagship programme. This is not even related to BB. This is pure unprofessionalism. Ben Frow, you have been evicted please say your goodbyes.

Yikes, is BB19 already confirmed cause...

Ben frow doesn't even like big brother so I doubt he's that bothered

It's contracted until then but I think they can still cancel it if they want

They'll probably switch summer CBB and civilian BB around next year to combat Love Island.

CBB will beat LI and it'll then stop the comparisons between that and civilian when civilian airs for a few weeks in August/September.

ratings will go up once Charlotte is out tonight

No they won't.

[armand.kay]

Charlotte has been featured for like 2 minutes this entire week where on earth did you get the idea that she's what's causing people not to watch?

[armand.kay]

The only way ratings will go up is if the people already watching on demand/recorded decide to start watching live because I can't imagine a bunch of people tuning in this far into the series unless they do another celeb twist.

i'm sorry for being dramatic, i'm already starting to cry now

maybe with a undeserved eviction like Charlotte ratings could go further down, like people thinking wtf


having said that, i don't want the producers to force a storyline/showmance on her, she would only feel miserable and we would have a Georgina 2.0


just for ratings i can see producers doing something like that

[irishdave]

I reckon the eviction will be lucky to get a rating of 800,000 tonight....just my gut feeling!

Officials will be around 1.2m imo, the only reason it’s rating low is because it’s on at 10pm

Last year added around 450k each night. It averaged 1.15 overnight and 1.6 officially, so perhaps because it's on later this year more people are deciding to watch on catchup? If most episodes could average 500k on catch up that would take it to 1.5m average which isn't too bad. Not far off the usual 1.6 and still more than BB16's 1.4

i'm sure the show has been on around 10pm for a long time now but the overnight ratings were not usually this low

It was on for 9pm most nights last year, just a few were at 10pm - and didn’t the 10pm ones have strong catch-up figures?

[supertv247]

Including +1

Love Island - 1.26m
Big Brother - 0.93m

BBBOTS - 450k

The gap is closing and its a good sign that the Friday, which clashed with love island, is the most watched episode all week but still not good enough IMO

[Cal.]

Mess.

[Cal.]

Tbh I only watched the last 30 mins.

[Greg!]

Love island is a flop CONFIRMED!!

[supertv247]

I think love island might have peaked, if BB does something good in the next week it could close up

[Samm]

just cancel next week eviction since sukhi left and send in four new good housemates and promote it, simple.

Doubt it, it was a Friday night and lots of people were out. It'll probs have higher ratings next week if anything
