Saw somewhere around it's Life Stories with June Brown, Silent Witness, 8 out of 10 cats does Countdown and something with James May on BBC2.

Silent Witness we can discount, so I'm guessing it could come second or third in it's slot.

It starts on a Friday which is usually a terrible idea but seeing as Christmas is over and everyone has the sh!ts from eating to much crap hence staying in could benefit it.

Although the advertising has been dreadful and I dont think many people know its coming back.

Its not like back in the Channel 4 days when everyone just knew when it was coming on because it was simple (Summer BB, Winter CBB) now its all over the place these days so the casual viewer is just like *Is CBB on again? Never even knew it started.....

thinking it will be around the 2.7 mark or maybe lower as its only a week away and theres no real build up.

Everything was released to soon.

If you're not going to do a big promo then you need to hold back all the house pics and eye just to keep people getting all excited and annoyed then BAM! release them on the Monday before its starts.

I should so work in marketing.

Read back the threads sunshine. I have been on here all over xmas and you came on today and ragged EVERY SINGLE one of my posts. Stop playing the sympathy card. You have a pattern that everyone can see bright as sunlight.

I post or comment, you come back at my post with a sly or demeaning comment, (typical hidden bait) I tell you to piddle off, you push the report button and play the victim then if I get infracted you punch the air.

Nothing new there then. You don't like me, I don't like you but you still we must cohabit so if you insist on baiting me, I will still come back at you. Being a dick isn't something one man can own alone.

I haven't, ive been out with family and friends

Ive logged back in and seen comments which I responded to all in one go.

I have not reported you once today...Wasn't even tempted, Its not all about you.

Also I do think being a "dick" is something one can own alone.

Lets leave it there.

Mostly agree with you Dan, but don't think the advertising has been any worse than any other series on Channel 5. Hoping in the last week, they can power it through and keep advertising it. Is there any billboards, posters, magazine promotion yet?

Ive seen nothing.

I think this is definitely the most least advertised winter CBB.

[*mazedsalv**]

5 days to go! More and more people speaking online, and I have seen a lot of advertising on The Sun, Daily Mail, obviously Daily Star, etc... Hoping it can get 3.5m+

[Gypsy]

3.5m

[Rob!]

So I'm not disappointed, I'm going to go for the higher end of 2m...2.9?

[Pronshi]

3.8-4.1 Overnights would be a huge success.

Realistically a good launch would be 3.3-3.6

At this rate with lack of what I can tell talking about is about 2.8-3.3.

[mrmattybeck1]

3.2m average prediction from me their doesn't seem to be much promo for cbb this year

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Cant believe people are thinking 3.5 in overnights.

Seriously?

Theres no promotion and it starts on a Friday.

You would think Emma or Rylan would be getting interviews on Loose women and other shows by now.

Theres not 1 poster or billboard and ive seen the advert once on Channel 5.

2.5/2.7 maximum.

Good point about interviews. Loose Women should be on the cards this week because its tradition! If they don't, it would be very odd.

CBB12 started with 2.7m and that was in the summer, which is why I am hoping for 3m+

[Jamesy]

I'm thinking around 2.5-2.7m. If they do some last minute advertising on other channels this week then they might hit the 3.0m+ mark.

Loose women isn't back until 6th. This morning is back on this Thursday. What days is Emma normally in the hub? Emma is on Alan Carr chatty man tomorrow night I think.

Agree thats why im only going for about 2.5m hardly any promotion come on frow sort it out

[*mazedsalv**]

The only promotion it has going for it is on Twitter because the people rumoured with hundreds of thousands of followers. I hope that helps, but it's VERY odd they are not promoting it.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Literally hardly any of the viewing public know CBB is back on in 4 days.

Look how much promo BB14 got and the launch night ratings were shockingly bad to all of us on the forum.

Hopefully though like BB14 CBB will build but it will affect the average in a massive way if launch night figures are low.

BB14 would have averaged well over 2 million if it wasn't for the stupid double launch and dismal ratings for both shows plus the stupid decision to split the finale into 2 parts on a weeknight when watching BB came second priority to viewers getting up for their jobs in the morning.

[*mazedsalv**]

Under 48 hours to go. Get your last predictions in!

[Jack.]

I'm going to go for 2.8 including +1
