2.4M including +1 (10%)

[*mazedsalv**]

Channel 5 (inc +1)
15:45 - Cheaper By the Dozen 2: 0.91m (5.8%)
17:30 - George of the Jungle: 1.03m (5.0%)
19:15 - Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls: 0.79m (3.4%)
21:00 - Celebrity Big Brother: 2.37m (10.2%)

Not bad at all, that's exactly the same rating as the Megan meltdown. So the joint 2nd highest HL show of the series.

BARB officials come in later, so we will get the officials from the launch to the 10th Jan.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

15 minutes till officials are released and we can finally judge how well this series is doing.

I wanna see some 3 millions in there but that's gonna be a stretch.

I don't know why they don't add the people watching in Ireland to the ratings? Its the same programme and don't like 300k watch?

[*mazedsalv**]

So here are the officials, in brackets i will put the overnights.

Launch- 3.30m (2.80m)
Wednesday 6th- 2.81m (2.19m)
Thursday 7th- 2.71m (2.04m)
Friday 8th (Part 1)- 2.29m (1.80m) and Friday 8th (Part 2)- 2.32m (1.70m)
Sat 9th- 1.90m (1.46m)
Sun 10th- 2.69m (2.09m)

For the first 6 days, the official average is 2.57m.

Lets bare in mind that this week (opening week) was lower than the week we have just had. Looking at the timeshifts we could see some 2.8m-2.9m officials for the ratings that we have had this week.

Speaking of timeshifts, some very incredible ones here. 670,000 add for the Thursday is phenomenal! Wow at Winston's interview being more than the 9pm show! A lot of ~600,000 type adds which is incredible!

[Jason.]

That launch rating is good and just as I predicted it would be.

Winston's eviction is quite low for a January CBB ngl. Especially as he was a quite a controversial housemate. Exactly a million down on CBB15's first eviction where Chloe went and KP entered. I'm pretty sure the evictions in CBB12 (a summer CBB) rated similar/higher. But slay at the 2nd show getting more than the first show. That only ever happened with C4 so that's good.

Looks like it is holding up ok. Im not a fan of what Viacom have brought to the table but their only concern is figures and revenue not the show. They are happy for it to be just another sluts on a beach/dwarfs running wild/elephant headed prostitutes or whatever crap "reality" it is that they show on MTV these days.
The dumbing down is complete.

[Briancbbfan]

This is actually looking alot better than expected... maybe some of this weeks viewings could reach 3 million? Megan's rant got alot of coverage? I'm pleasantly surprised by this

But that's why the younger generation, who are the main people who watch it and the target audience, are watching and loving it, I'm hoping they don't change it as a young person. You're in the minority I'm afraid!

[RealityFan]

Where are the rest of this past weeks?

The other 5 million people on top of those that watch it now would disagree.

[Pete.]

Lip Sync Battle did well too

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Timeshifts of almost 700k that's ****ing impressive!

Next weeks officials we all gonna be creaming im telling you lol.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im still confused why the Irish viewers aren't included when 300k are watching it takes most episodes over 3 million.

Why aren't they included because its a different Channel perhaps?

Probably because Ireland isn't part of the UK, and the ratings are UK ratings so including another countries ratings wouldn't work.

Utter twaddle. It has never been as trashy and scripted as it is now. The whole thing is just being used as a promo for Viacoms other shows.

Never been as trashy? It was always trashy. Do people forget BB1 and BB2? Mel and Craig basically rubbing their naked bodies in front of our faces? The stripping during BB2 and BB3 and "Follow the van", BB5 naked jacuzzi, Shell running around with her fanny out, naked mud wrestling, sucking of nipples The BB6 orgies that used to take place in BB6, sex in the pool, tounging each other every minute of the day (boy on boy, girl on girl, boy on girl).

Please guys... C5 is CBBC compared to C4.

I agree with this.

[RichardG]

I haven't been keeping up with the ratings but it looks like it's hovering around 2.4? Is that good? I don't know much about this stuff and whether or not they'd be happy with that.

[Mrmattybeck]

Good to see better ratings at last after a slowish start

[Will.]

2.25M excluding +1

Good to see this series is improving.

[Will.]

Second in its slot.
