Not only that BB12' 1st week's running average:

BB12


Launch: 2.77
Week 1: 1.7
week 2: 1.50

BB17:

Launch 1.86
Week :1 1.73
week 2: 1.65

If we compare it to previous years also it the highest since BB14:

BB16:

Launch: Launch: 2.09
Week 1: 1.59
Week 2: 1.28 (Week 2 is pretty much 400k up on last year)

BB15:

Launch: 2.43
Week 1: 1.66
Week 2: 1.60


BB13 imo would have been the most successful series had it not been up against the Olympics its first 2 weeks averaged over 2 million and BB14 was just like this series will play out I believe with the overnights and launch being disappointing but officials are adding a ton of numbers to the officials and for some reason this years Saturdays which are usually the lowest rated are rating higher its a weird old year lol.

This series deserves much higher ratings than flop island. The only reason it has beaten bb a couple of times is because it's constantly promoted. Like yesterday I was watching ITV2 and there was big banner advert on the corner of the screen saying Love Island tonight at 9

Problem is, as Salv said - that 900k for last night was double anything else Channel 5 managed yesterday so it's not like the banners would be really reaching that many people.

My prediction for next few...

Tonight- 490k
Tuesday- 1.1m
Wednesday- 1.2m

[crazycolaist]

Im saying 650k-750k tonight.

[*mazedsalv**]

I'm saying 490k tonight.

636K

[supertv247]

I don't know why people think it'll be worse than when it clashed with the olympics! Twitter seemed pretty heavy on #BBUK as well, and the football was done by 10 when it was then on +1. I'm going to predict between 800k-1m

[Greg!]

920k including +1 according to digital spy. Lol

[*mazedsalv**]

England v Iceland: 11.00m (48.1%)
* match average: 15.28m (60.0%)
* peak: 16.91m (62.4%) at 21:45

EastEnders: 3.52m (14.5%)

Big Brother: 920k (3.5%) inc +1

That's really decent for it to hold that much! EE got its lowest ever rating. Fantastic for the match.

[TomC]

Is this first +1 to be below 1m?

[Will.]

Very good considering:

England v Iceland: 11.00m (48.1%)
* match average: 15.28m (60.0%)
* peak: 16.91m (62.4%) at 21:45

Exactly, and as I said, Eastenders got the lowest ever rating, it's previous lowest was 3.9m and last night it got 3.5m.

Wow that's low for EastEnders.

Previous 2 Saturdays were under 1m with +1, in fact last night was higher than the last 2 Saturdays.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

That's terrible for EastEnders

What did Love Island get?

800K.

[*mazedsalv**]

LI aired at 10pm last night so didn't face the match.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Is that 800k with +1 btw?

[Will.]

No it's not, I doubt the +1 will be released. It's most likely very small due to it airing at 11PM (+1).

[daniel-lewis-1985]

So when people are posting these ratings for Love Island do you ever include +1 as we do with BB because chances are its matching it?

I think we normally do. I don't think there are chances as BB is normally 100-250K ahead excluding +1.

LI has beaten BB twice I think.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Also people say how BB's figures have drastically dropped Love Island series 1 back in 2005 almost overtook BB6 at one point and 3.8 million people tuned in to watch the final of series 2, peaking at 4.4m, down from series 1 peak figure of 5.9 million.

Its currently averaging 1.27 up on last years 0.57 against BB's 1.65 up on last years 1.44
