Im praying tonight does well.

Im guessing a 1.2 then with word of mouth usually a big plus 1 figure but that wont be on till 11pm.

It really does have a lot against it this year doesn't it lol if BB13 could get a 1.6 average whilst the Olympics were on heres hoping we can atleast match that but after the success of CBB in January and BB14 I think we were all expecting 1.5+ per highlights.

Theres definitely going to be another "gate" and quite a big one I imagine with Helen. I can see her getting violent or there being a serious bullying scandal and as bad as that sounds im hoping for it for the coverage it will get lol.

It nearlly went below a million on a monday night, the fact is the shows in serious trouble this year

Don't get me wrong, I love this series, but I feel like it's more suited to the time at 10pm at ALL times! The later it's on the better the share in viewing. So the numbers of viewers may be less but the number watching TV is much higher for the show. Take last night. On +1 the live feed section had a much higher share than with the highlights section.

I get that ratings are apparently 'bad'.. But the share for Channel 5 annually is around 3.9% to 4.2% and even with BB getting these 'bad' ratings, it's still several percent above its share, which is very respectable!

I feel like many people aren't watching purely because they do want to watch it at that time, all my friends prefer other shoes and simply watch it on demand the day after.. It seems to be the show people still love and adore, but view it when they want to. So who knows, maybe the demand services will provide money for the channel.. Which leads me to think, yes it's getting tried but surely they'd keep it.

A year or so ago, the commissioner of C5 stated 'we wouldn't get rid of BB because it isn't as successful as CBB, maybe we'll change the time it's on. You don't get rid of something this big without following up something to replace it'

I'm not sure what you think but I think ratings are still fair, CBB averaged 3 million in its official ratings.. Great when you consider most shows on C5 struggle to break the million viewer mark, which even BB has done every time bar 1 night so far.. Give it time!

Long live BB!

Ngl, pretty disappointed... however, the live feed done pretty good

[Rob!]

I mean... There's really nothing you can say to that. It wasn't up against anything substantial so this shouldn't have happened. Where did it come in it's slot?

[JohnnyBB]

Just face facts none can be assed watching this horrible lot.

I dont get it

950k while the football was on.

1.5m up against Soccer Aid

1M with no competition.

Why are veiwers switching off.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Lmao, you can't use the World Cup as an excuse if it's getting 1m without the world cup even starting

I can't see the show being able to afford Emma next year

Yeah. I figured after she got The voice that this year would be her last. If it does come back next year then people need to be prepared for Rylan. Emma hasn't even tweeted once about the show since the second launch night.

[Iceman]

I see BB as her hobby now not a job....

[Rob!]

Just seen - it came last in the 9pm slot.

Not great for the first show, but made up for by the retention for the second.

The issue is there was no reason why it should have come last in it's slot last night. There wasn't any notable competition, and Mondays aren't normally terrible ratings wise. If it can't hold up now, the world cup is going to really cause it issues. It's annoying because BB12 for the most part deserved terrible ratings - this series doesn't.

I'm hoping, the Officials will boost the ratings

I just want a renewal contract to get signed, It ends at the end of the Summer Celeb series so it must be soon

Those people are either A) fictitious or B) bad company you surround yourself with. Like, what on earth was there to like about BB12 (actually since I think I'm rewatching BB12 next that might be the name of a thread )?
