[Jason.]

mess that launch figure looks so low compared to all the other c5 launches

[Jason.]

1.68m for the first weeks average

higher than bb16s which was 1.59m and bb15s which was 1.66m

[LukeB]

Wow Li beat BB

[Will.]

Great officials, Saturday did really well

[Cal.]

Amazing ratings

[Will.]

Thursday did great as well.

It added 550K on

[Jason.]

im really pleased at these ratings - its higher than bb15 which is a good thing

hopefully it continues to grow

[Rob!]

That Saturday rating

[Cal.]

How come the eviction is usually one of the smallest ratings?

[Rob!]

Not a Saturday beating the eviction

[Ross.]

This proves that the May launch last year was an awful idea

[Cal.]

Poor Jackson and Alex

The retention from launch to the next day is absolutely brilliant

[*mazedsalv**]

Wow at just a 20k drop from launch to first hl show

[Rob!]

The last week has been hanging around the 1.2m overnight so around 1.6m officially?

yeah should be, could even get some more 1.74M as that highlight show only got 1.2M overnight.

Yep probably . A 1.6m average would match it with BB12, 13 and 15 .

Here for Marco potentially being 3re highest eviction on civvie BB behind Sallie and Dan's evictions.....

It's unlikely but it could happen!

It doesn't look like a big difference, but BB16's first week average is dragged up a lot by launch. In fact, excluding launch, BB17 has averaged 1.65m, whereas BB16 only manages 1.33m. So, that's a 300k difference, hopefully meaning that BB17 is going to hold up much better in the long run, and hopefully average over 1.6m.

Exactly this. Taking the launch out of both, you can see a much bigger difference.

BB16 official average is 1.36m. So tbh as long as we can keep at 1.5m+ it'll be good.

[Jake.]

Really impressive retention from the launch. Good figures all round.

[Jamesy]

Welp at the drop from BB16 launch to first highlights.

These are great figures. As long as figures are up on last year, the show should be just fine. Just hope they continue to make a good show and we don't see stupid twists come soon. These figures just prove that if you don't have ridiculous twists, the viewers are more likely to stay.
