I don't understand why the ratings aren't absolutely collapsing at this series. It's one of the worst ever. Still, I'm not going to complain about the ratings this year as a whole. That can only be a good thing for the show's future.

I like to think that the ratings aren't actually that good and that if we had an amazing cast and no olympics, it'd be up as one of the highest summer series nearer ~2.8m

Same applied to BB17 actually. It done great in the ratings, especially compared to last year which was weird since this year had much more competition. So if it didn't have the competition, it could've topped secrets and lies perhaps.

Because they have replaced BB's core audience (i.e. us) with really low class trash tv viewers which is fine for now but the problem will come when they move on at the drop of a hat and all leave to watch whatever the new low rent scumfest show is like Celebrity dog wanking or whatever it is that comes along. Then they will be up **** creek without a paddle or an audience.

So true.
