I think they could've got 2m for BB15, had the series not been Power Trip, and have a better cast, better theme or even no theme, and a better production.

Before BB15 launched, we already had BB14 which did well, and almost gained 2m, not to mention the attention CBB13 got earlier in the year as well. Then they went down the Power Trip route, which killed it.

Yep, the Power Trip theme was awful. And they earnt such bad will from the viewers with Helen. And having given us 2 hours worth of live coverage every night from Midnight, we went back to having next to nothing. So stupid on their part after having moved in the right direction.

Exactly.

By March 2014, we already had a great season of BB and an amazing series of CBB.

Then they screw it up, a few months later. The fact that BB15's ratings were low from the moment after the 2nd launch suggests that those additional 0.3m who tuned into BB14 were not interested after the first launch and didn't bother tuning in again.
