Big Brother got 1.25 million viewers and a 6.4% share in total. That's still fairly good. Officials could bump it up to 1.5 or 1.6 but we should remember, it's hot. On Fridays people are likely to be out more, World Cup fever may have impacted that. Imagine all those viewers who decided to stay out after the game, we should also take into account that although some 4 million were watching the World Cup on TV a hell of a lot will be watching it through socialising e.g. Pubs, clubs, parties. So I'd estimate the rating closer to 5 million in fact. It does appear that Friday ratings will continue to be low, perhaps this is the new trend, nonetheless the rating is not poor it is still fair. It's above the million mark and is over Channel 5s annual 3.9% share, so is still making a healthy return profit. Stop with all the negativity. Peace out

It also came 4th in the timeslot, it was narrowly beaten by C4.. But let's be honest, they are two very distinct audience markets. 8OOTC is more male based, BB is more female based.

Where did you get the 1.25 million viewers from? Where was that reported and if that's correct it should have come 3rd in its timeslot up against 8 out of 10 cats which got 1.18 unless that got a higher +1?

Seriously though where did you get the 1.25 from because no one can seem to find the plus 1 figures and its annoying the hell out of us lol. BB could be rating far higher than we realise and its not getting reported.
