Can someone check the ratings' trend of BB8? Did the female-only twist get leaked before launch night?

Yes i think we were told before launch. I recall it went from 6.2m to 3.9m oin overnights, in officials here are the first 2 weeks of BB8...

6.6m
4.3m
5.0m (Ziggy enters)
3.8m
4.0m
4.4m
4.0m
5.1m (Emily's ejection)
4.9m (Gerry and Seany enter)
2.9m
2.8m
4.2m
2.3m
2.8m
3.3m/3.3m (Liam, Jonathan, Brian and Billi enter)

So really, the more men they added, the lower ratings got.

I forgot how awful BB8's ratings were.

Those figures for the second week could pass for CBB15's.

The reason why BB8's ratings crashed so badly is because the second week was up against Britain's Got Talent nearly every night. The show never recovered from that awful scheduling.

The all-female twist technically didn't flop since the first week averaged 4.7m.

It will be nice to see how it affects CBB21, if it does.
Not sure if losing 35% of the rating the day after launch night is a natural thing, or due to the twist (If people started watching without knowing it's female-only and switched off).
