Default Does anyone elses launch get spoiled by worrying about it getting poor ratings?
I love the launch but as sad as it is i allways dread opening the ratings thread the next day to see if it triumphed or flopped.

Like when CBB8 got over 5 million and peaked at 8 million at one point i almost came but then CBB9 got 3.5 million and i was like Sh!t.

The future of our regular summer BB depends on how this one rates and if the ratings are dire then im afraid its bye bye to our beloved summer series.

Last regular BB only launched with 2.7 million and then it went on to average 1.6 and on weekends even dipped below the 1 million mark which i never thought would happen with BB. The final got a piss poor 2.2 million

I think if this years averages about 2 million we're safe but anything under then im afraid it may be over.

Does anyone else feel like this?

But the fact Channel 5 are so eager to run BB into the ground so they can focus on their precious Celebrity bollocks - worries me.

Nope.

My life and/or my thoughts are not governed or controlled by any tv programme enough to give such things a second thought. I've more important things in life to think of, or that deserve my feeling sad about them, rather than a TV show's ratings.

No.

Just watch it and enjoy it, if the ratings are going to suck then they are going to suck and theres nothing you can do about it.

Ok thats a bit bitchy.

Im not "governed" or "controlled" by a tv show im just passionate about BB as someone would be passionate about their favourite football team. IM A FAN!

I also have a life you know but love chilling out when i get home at night and watching BB and obviously i want it to do well so i can continue to do so.

The summer series isnt safe, They dont have to air it.

They will continue to do CBB but i think if regular BB fails they wont bother next year.

Far from bitchy: you asked a question and factored into your OP how the rating made you feel on a personal level: I answered your question based on my personal feelings on the matter.

I didn't say your life was anything: I referred to my own life. Not yours.

I don't care about the viewers, as long as it's on our TV then it's all good. I like the launch and all I worry about is if some massive knob turns up.

I wouldn't say I worry about it during the launch but I do get a bit concerned if it's getting poor ratings for the first few episodes

Can I ask why you would be concerned? You mean as in, they may put an end to BB once and for all... that type of concern?

As long as I enjoy the product that is being offered, I could really care less. But as long as it has enough viewers to avoid the axe, then I'm happy.

It's something you may not be altogether used to. It's called a factual but polite reply.
