No. Jesus Christ. It's 2012, anyone who doesn't have a Sky Plus box by now or the ability to record Big Brother, isn't even relevant.

So when there was 8 up including Sara, do you think she would have gone in a vote to evict over people like Conor Caroline Deana? No chance.

For ratings purposes, recording does not count. If you want BB to stay (although production sucks so bad), people who are ratings panelist need to watch it live and not just record it.

I thinkl they are working on a digital ratings method to come in the future. However advertising will lose seeing as people fast forward or dont record ads at all.

Personally I am even surprised it got to that with the Olympics closing ceremony being on for so long.

I can't believe 500,000 people didn't watch the Olympic Closing Ceremony.

Just because you personally find the remaining housemates boring, it doesn't mean everyone does...

22.94 million (80% share) watched the closing ceremony btw.

Last night low viewing figures really couldn't be avoided. I didn't even watch BB last night, I watched the Closing Ceremony. I watched BB online today.

According to DS, one million turned off during his 15 minute segment

[aman201]

ive not watched a single bb show live/at the time all series, i always record it.

just shows.

considering the olymipics got 26million and 85% of the viewing public, it isn't a big deal. It's held up pretty well this year considering the competition and Channel 5 will know why it's been so slow. We all knew this was coming.

Perhaps 'fewer' Jords?

[Withano]

Hah! I wasn't one of these people. Catch up works so much better! No adverts

The closing ceremony was pretty average though, the 500k people didn't miss out on too much

Shame because Sara crying at meatloaf > Closing ceremony

[DigitalSid]

Wow. Lowest Big Brother rating to date. Did better against the Opening Ceremony.
