Comparing to past years becomes increasingly irrelevent tbh. Peoples viewing habits have changed and youngsters now prefer the internet. So we're never gonna get back to the huge ratings of the past.

They came out top of the ratings for the night. That is a huge success and all anybody can expect.

Its obviously alot more than 5 Million though, because they don't count every single box in the UK just fucking barb boxes.

So it got alot higher than this but yeah well done Big Brother.

I expect a big dip in the ratings tonight, can't say I blame people for switching off after that horrible launch but yeah hopefully things will improve even more if this series can take off into the media as usuall and bring in more attention.

If it can stay talked about and mostly above 3 Million every night then im very happy.

No, it didn't get a lot higher. It could have gotten a lot lower for all you know. BARB boxes are the same for every show and represent a microcosm of the viewing public. You can't monitor the television habits of every home in Britain so stop complaining about it.

It's not some BARB conspiracy against BB. BGT, X Factor and the lot all get judged on BARB too.

Thats great news brilliant figures sometimes i think some of the absolute cockmonglers that post on this board just to annoy people would have preferred it to fail just to give themselves ammo.
