do you think the ratings will be high? because like channel 5 are lucky to get 2m on a program, i think that they will pull in like 2-3m veiwers, hopefully they will be high

[InOne]

Well all depends

[Kerry]

Very high for C5 at first I think. Doubt as high as C4 obviously. I can see a lot boycotting it. But after the peak I think it'll dwindle.

[Jordan.]

If Josie can pull in half a million for her show, BB should be atleast looking at 1.5M a night

[King Gizzard]

No

Should of left it a few years

[Callum]

I doubt they'll be very impressive

[joeysteele]

Viewers love interactive programming, they love to have to phone in for this and that so that's why in part these reality shows and X Factors are big successes.

Clearly many of BB fans will follow it to Channel 5 and for that Channel the ratings will be really good. Far better than what they get for any other programmes.
I think they will be high still, not to Channel 4 levels but in comparison to the last few series maybe not too drastically down.

The public voting will obviously remain a big part of the new era and if they make it that the viewers can decide other things in the series too then the ratings should hold firm.

[joeysteele]

Most people believed the ratings would be so massively reduced that when Neighbours and Home and Away went to Channel 5,it wouldn't be long before both series were lost to the UK. While the ratings did drop to something like 1.5 million for Neighbours,however near 3 years on both series are still there,large as life on that Channel after being discarded by the BBC and ITV respectively.I expect BB to be on Channel 5 for a good while now that they have got it.
Another series saved by them.

[jtalh2003]

if they change the format to much it could be bad

[Braden]

My prediction is that the launch will present the highest ratings, at 2million. And that's pushing it a bit.

[Doogle]

Not at all. I don't think it'll do well rating-wise, but it will seem good to C5.

I'm being negative now so that if I'm wrong I will be happy. If I'm stupidly optimistic I'm open to disappointment if things go bad for the show.

[seanraff07]

Pretty much everyone I've mentioned it to so far didn't even know it was returning, says it all for me.

Hope it gets high rates though

[Smithy]

no

They will if im in there

Watch this space.

[DrunkerThanMoses]

1 - 2 mill

[Jords]

High for Ch5, dunno if high for BB...

It will either start off pulling loads, and gradually fall like recent years, or the opposite I reckon.

[Tony1111]

I think it'll be high for Channel 5, not so much for Channel 4 but enough to earn another series.

[bbfan1991]

Hopefully, as long as the show paces itself in the being back stuff and doesn't go too OTT with the hype then it has every chance of winning some hardcore fans who had swtiched off when it was on C4.

[the_last_remaining_fan]

I would say 1.5 million or something but thats no disaster, after all, isnt that what it was getting on C4 in the last couple of years they did it.

[Patrick]

No, all the ******ing delusional 'typical' viewers in the public who aren't hardcore fans have decided 'i ient guna watch big bruva anymore cus itll be sh*t like without davina init x'.

So for the reason the majority of the public are wankers who lick up Davina's talentless arse - it'll fail.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I think the fact that Cbb and BB are on back to back will really affect the proper series in a bad way.

Dedicating an hour a day for 17 weeks to a tv show takes hardcore fans.

Then again i think the fact its on over the winter period will have a good impact on ratings as people wont be sat out in the beer gardens and instead will be staying in.

[Jarrod]

I think at the peak of the most viewers will be the MOST 2.5 Million. If you look back at Big Brother's ratings from the past few years
BB8 - 3.9M
BB9 - 3.6M
BB10 - 2.5M
BB11 - 4.3M
I think if those viewers follow the series onto Channel 5 we could possibly get to the 3M Mark if C5 are lucky!

Err ... what gives you this impression? The magic public survey you pulled out of your arsehole?

I doubt John Q Public is going to reflect on all this and say 'Hmm ... I would watch it ... but Davina's not in it is she'.

In fact I think that would be the least of his worries. Especially when it's being aired by a national embarrasment of a channel.
