Success on Channel 5 will only need 1.5 to 2 million viewers, I think they will get that and that will be seen as a great success for Channel 5, I have little doubt that BB will, for the next 2 years at least, be the biggest rated thing on Channel 5, they will not then want to lose any of that in the future.
It will also bring in far more lucrative advertising to Channel 5 and BB will also be a great vehicle for placement advertising too. On paper, it really cannot fail on Channel 5, it already was on Channel 4.

Will Channel 5 not be buying this and pumping the money into it to get higher ratings than that? Ok, it might be good on Channel 5 with ratings like that but what about the quality of the show? Have Channel 5 rushed in to it too quickly?
These are important questions in my view as it might end up getting such ratings like you say, early on and then the show fails for quality.
