I thought it has been doing pretty damn fine, especially the past few days. 1.2-1.4m per night is around the same as previous C5 series. The first week was a bit crap but it has picked up now. Don't see what's so bad about that.

Its 400,000 down on last year I think.

To be fair with votes, I bet they have raked it in this week given the anger against Pauline!

Ah fair enough. It's still not too bad. Obviously any loss is not good but BB still shows it has a strong amount of viewers around the 1 million mark. I guess when we reach the end of the series it will be clear whether these ratings are killing the show off or keeping it steady still.

This has been on my mind for months. I was assuming we were going to hear something at the end of May/start of June. Worrying that no news has come. I guess either the Viacom deal is interfering with that or they're waiting to see how this series does. Big Brother has hardly been dying on C5 so it would be strange if they did not take the show further.
