Hopefully tonight it does as well. I doubt it tho.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Everything is against tonight doing well.

Last night proved unpopular with a lot of viewers and the fact its a Friday and gorgeous weather out im expecting a lot of people to be out tonight.

Hopefully it matches last nights but as we know the second episode tends to drop off, last year being the only exception.

All over social media even on here the general comments were about how much alike the housemates were and Twitter especially had thousands of tweets saying how it was "boring".

Before you go rambling on at me saying we cant trust social media for ratings im just saying a lot of people found it pretty dull.

Me personally aswell felt last night was a pretty meh launch.

I wasn't going to ramble on at you

What I will say though is, it depends on tonight. Personally, I think there's some really interesting characters in there this year - I certainly didn't think it was boring... We'll see. Hope it does well - with the amount of money and effort that's clearly gone into this series, it certainly deserves to.

Last years BB was the highest rated Civilian series on C5, so I wouldn't say it's going to flop, I feel like the Seconded launch will hold last year's did

Why are people saying that all the Housemates where dull, there is 6 more going in tomorrow lmao, I though the launch was good

[Samm]

It did better than last year anyway, Last year's got 1.99 Million

[RichardG]

not great. I was hoping for a boost up on last years considering (I don't think) a new contract has been signed yet...

Viacom have taken over and they own a Channel in India with Big brother, 2.1 is good for a C5 program anyway

[ruiphillips]

Wow, quite shocked in launch with over 2m.

[Samm]

I'm happy it beat C4 tbh

[jackc1806]

Not long to go...
Personally expecting 8 out of 10 cats to beat BB, but obviously hope not.
I think we'd have to be pleased with 1.5m+

[jackc1806]

BBC News (18:30) - 4.19m (29.5%)

[jackc1806]

[jackc1806]

Bollocks. 8 out of 10 Cats Countdown got 1.97 million

[Jemal]

sigh

[Jamesy]

I guessed there would be a sharp drop over to the second show. The 'samey' housemates probably put a lot of people off on Thursday.

[Cal.]

Wow, big drop. Nevermind, it was up against some big things last night.

[Jake.]

[Samm]

I'm hoping the ratings go back up this week, it's up against BGT final tonight tbh
