Agree entirely.

I think we've got to remember too that Big Brother isn't as widely covered as it once was, nor does it fall into these ratings wars. This only happens with BBC One and ITV1 now. Channel 5 is known as a nothing channel.

This is Big Brother in 2013 we're talking about, not Big Brother in 2006. A hell of a lot has changed since then. I highly doubt BB being on at the same time as BGT would have that much of an effect on ratings in all honesty.
