Anyone know the ratings for last nights eviction?

[*mazedsalv**]

Excluding +1:

1st show- 3.1m
2nd show- 3.03m (very good considering they finished the show 7 minutes early!) so in the officials the 2nd show will be given a big boost to probably around 3.6m+.

With +1 it should be about 3.4m and 3.2-3.3m.

Popstar to Operastar flopping, probbaly because of CBB.... launched with 4m last week, now down to 3.67m and next week will be up against the final of CBB, and could go sub 3m for ITV. Im glad ITV isnt getting big ratings for it, and hope teh final thrashes it next week just to spite cocky ITV.... they have gotten too lucky with BGT, XF, IAC, DOI, Wild At Heart etc....

I can't get over how hilarious that show is. Why murder pop songs when you can butcher the music of Mozart, Rossini, Puccini, Gershwin, etc and get Meatloaf, Katharine Jenkins and that prat from Classic FM to offer their "expert advice"?

Thats good x I hope it gets more viewers as it is a brilliant series, I fear the final will be like last year and get about 3 million I hope the final gets over 5 million. x

C4 would get a nice little ratings banker every now and again as well as being shot of the main summer show which seems to be the one they really want rid of.

If it was one or the other I'd rather the regular version kept as there are more than enough celeb shows around, and quite frankly once Big Brother is gone there aren't that many shows around for ordinary people (regardless of singing ability) to get on TV - and certainly none that give the exposure of BB (though that isn't necessarily a bad thing).


I think when it was axed we all pretty much ruled out the BBC as a future home, but Celebrity Big Brother for Comic Relief is certainly something I could see happening in the future - probably when Comic Relief want to get Davina off the main show so resurrect it as a way to keep her sweet!

If it went to the BBC it would probably be tucked away on BBC3 and last about a week. There is nothing stopping a BBC/Channel 4 joint venture like CBB1. Channel 4 get the commercial side of it whilst the BBC will pull in the viewers and get the voting money.

Tbh I hope they do bring the REGULAR series back in the future instead of the celeb one because :

1. Ive always wanted to audition and if there was a BB12, it would have been the time i could have been allowed to audition. Some of college mates (well, about 7 of them who are all 18 are trying out) and if 1 of them goes in, would make me both jealous and happy

2. Theres loads of celeb shows, DOI, SCD and IAC. But there isnt any shows anymore about normal people (talent shows excluded).

I bet C4 will come up with some lame idea, eg. Remember Annonymous? Did that evern do well a few years ago? was it around 2006?

They should bring back Shattered

The problem with BB is they took it for granted so milked it to death by extending it to 10 weeks, then 11, then 13. Up until 11 weeks it was fine even if it was a bit of a drag by the end, but 13 weeks was silly and I think contributed to the downfall of BB because its just too long to sustain interest. And it means we have to have a random set of housemates entering near the end who are just eviction filler until the final. That only never happened with BB9 (although we got the girls after about 4 weeks) but that series actually was interesting enough.

[Tom]

Back to ratings, BB completely nosedived last night getting just 2.1m against 4.4m for Mr & Mrs and 5.4m for SYTYCD/5.9m for Casualty

They ought to axe the Saturday highlights for the summer

So after a promising start, although this series is still well up on CBB6 and BB10, it doesn't look good for the summer

I know
However if the +1 is 500,000+ (which i doubt) then it would be great Saturdays add quite a lot on +1.

[biglover]

I think becuase the highlighs are at 9.00pm every night this week that they each get around 3.2 million or higher and the series average goes up, the final could well go up to around 6 million as it is the last ever CBB and Vinnie Jones is in there.

I doubt the final will go as high as 6m. It might reach 5m at a complete push but I'd say its more likely to go no higher than 4.5m. First show will probably have about 3.9m viewers

No it will be higher than 5 million, Its getting alot of press in the papers and tv guides, it is the last ever CBB episode and the nations hard man Vinnie is in there so it will gain alot more viewership than last year.

[biglover]

tonight might be affected becuase its on at 8 and DOI is on hopefully it will reach 3 million x

Last week was the same and got 3m

I don't think it will make 3m tonight but after that I doubt we'll get another sub-3m rating

[*mazedsalv**]

Tonight will be under 3m.

I hope that this week they can recover for the final week.
Because i want this to average higher than CBB6.

The only way it will be lower than CBB6 is if the final week averages below 2.7m and something pretty horrific has to happen for that result

Its a shame its lost so many viewers though

It didn't do well unfortunately, but I loved it. C4 though made a mistake airing it weekly when it's a format which would have been better nightly.

I'd like to see The Games revived - that was a great format and a way of C4 keeping a celeb format without backtracking. It could even be reworked into a weekly show, learning a new sport each week - and I think a winter version would be great.

OMG Really?
I havent been keeping track of the Ratings this week, what happened?

Have we dropped to 2 Million?
I really thought this series could stay at 3 Million the entire series, maybe its because of Sov going ratings have dropped?

Or because C4 keep ****ing up the times every night because of that Indian ****, there was no need for it to be on at 8 Again tonight but they had to for Slumdog Millionaire?

Seriously.
CBB Is going over for good this week, and they feel some Indian Film is more important than a show that has made C4 for years.

[*mazedsalv**]

No not really. +1 hasnt been known for any shows since Thursday

EXCLUDING +1
thursday- 2.7m (will be round 3m with +1)
friday (1) and (2)- 3.1m and 3.0m (will be probably 3.4m and 3.3m)
saturday- 2.1m (will probably be 2.5m+ with +1)

So basically last nights C4 only of +1 was quite poor. But its still doing really good.

[Tom]

I meant how many viewers its lost since launch. I guess the launch show was artificially inflated with people watching because of the last one, the ad campaign and out of curiosity and not people who were still genuinely interested in watching the show.

CBB6 and BB10 both lost 2.2m between launch and the final. CBB7 will probably make a similar loss, for the same loss the second show on Friday will have to average 4.1m.

With massive hope, I hope the 2nd show can break 5m. Did you hear the radio this morning? Im sure that Chris Moyles Show gets like 7m listeners, he kept going on about for ages about how cocky Vinnie Jones has been./... thats good promotion, especially as people always does what he says...

[*mazedsalv**]

A few ratings INCLUDING +1

Thursday- 2.9m
Friday(1)- 3.3m
Friday(2)- 3.2m

[Tom]

Another 2.1m rating for last night, although I'm expecting that had a massive timeshift due to DOI

But still, we've hit BB10 levels after starting above BB9 levels. I don't get how people haven't stuck with this series, I've loved it
