Decent for the first show, slightly up on last year, disappointing for the second, down probably to the bland selection of first night housemates and the good weather that seems to have effected everything. Hopefully after tonight's, which airing after BGT and against football will probably tank, it'll start to stabalise and recover.

The retention would have been much worse if last night had been your bog standard first night highlights.

Expect it horrific tonight - but then hopefully it'll be able to bounce up as the week goes on. I hope.

This, imo people who didn't watch Part 2 might see that there is more people that went (the 6 HM) and tune in and watch it on Sunday

[Rob!]

Are channel 5 counting their on demand viewers yet?

FGS it did ****e that's the facts its so annoying seeing fans rallying around making up excuses and possibilities.

The fact is it bombed and that's because firstly the producers failed to put on a good first night and sent the housemates into the house in totally the wrong order.

Then they have crammed to much in to such a small space of time (someone got power, someone got punished, someone was given 5 grand, 6 new housemates enter, someones given a ticket to the final, someone will be nominated every week)

All this happened by day 2.

Its just Secrets and Lies but on speed.

Viewers are bored of it and im finding it a chore after only 2 days. Im worn out from watching the launches already lol.

I don't understand why you hate this cast so much

This Cast >>>>>>>>>>>> The BB11, 12 & 14 Cast all together

You do know you just don't have to love the BB14 cast just because Gina was in it

How can you say that 2 days in?

You cant judge a whole cast based on 2 days and say they are better than 3 years of housemates put together lol.

Way to much generalising, I personally thought the cast was pretty bland on night 1 as did thousands of others its not just like one person is saying it but the next lot in were far more charismatic and interesting.

Looking back its not that the cast is bad its the fact that a lot are alike and the producers put them in in the wrong order.

If they had mixed them all up and not put the similar ones in on night one launch 2 would have retained its ratings or climbed.

They need to scrap these 2 part launch nights altogether though that's a better idea.

Last nights live feed got 405k.

Not to shabby

[Samm]

oh that's nearly as high as BOTS, I hope C5 look at how successful the is Live feed and make a 24/7 they can at least try it

'Flop contestants', how can people say that? Its been a day!
And anyway, already, we have...

- Helen having a tantrum about her photo and getting a warning according to Tellymix
- Pauline and her dislike for Chris, will she poison everyones minds?
- Jale already getting annoyed with fakeness

And it's the 2nd proper day! I really think this series will be one to look out for. I reckon it could be a grower.

It needs word of mouth. It's been negative so far. But anyway...

Tonight will be very low. A Saturday, up against the England match. I predict under 1m. Tomorrow may save it, it will probably be in the 1.3-1.4m range (which is what most BB14 HLs got), especially at the start considering BB14 was the first 'grower' of a series for years and so was CBB13.

So basically will BB15 follow in BB14 and CBB13 footsteps, starting relatively low and growing?

Impressive for Live Feed though IMO.

Tonight, 1.0 - 1.10

I don't think it will drop below Million, it's not a world cup match so.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Tonight 998,000 would love it to be around 1.5+

[JohnnyBB]

Great news tonight with the football being suspended raitings should have picked up!
