Again... the house structure has bugger all to do with the ratings. You are the one that brought ratings into it. Re-read the thread, everyone's discussing house design and structure. You've got the wrong end of the stick. Moving on...

Again - I never mentioned "ratings" .....

The house structure has, of course, always been a fundamental part of the production team's "creative" toolkit and has, from the start determined much of the HMs behaviour and the nature of the "season's" dynamics .....

(Program) Ratings are comparative amongst channels, a single program's audience capture tendency cannot be "rated" (compared) - a program could be losing an audience but going up in the ratings if it were rescheduled .....

Stop being a bloody smart-arse winding everyone up. You posted ratings/audience figures or whatever bloody pedantic description you want to give them. Either way they had sod all to do with Jordan's post.

When you think of C4 BB7 - BB8 - BB9 - BB10 for example, the changes were massive.

IMO, they did.

Considering how much time FMs are spending talking about the house, it's obviously a major factor in the viewing experience. The design of each house influences the social dynamics of the HMs, which naturally plays the major part in attracting audiences (or not).

FYI theres a seperate ratings thread.

Why not post there as your opinions are not relevant in this thread.
