Why does Cbb do so much better than bbuk in the summer these days

I had a thought about this. I don't know whether this is correct or not, but I think that mentally, people prefer to watch celebrities go into BB, or jungle etc, rather than people they don't really know about. People love celebrity culture and this country is obsessed with it, I think thats why CBB, Jungle, Strictly etc do so well, to be honest I couldn't see a civilian version of jungle doing well in the long run.

Take 10,000BC for example, maybe, just maybe if it was celebrities rather than civilians, it would attract more people to watch.

I think it's a lot simpiler than that as once upon a time regular BB got far more viewers than the celebrity one which had huge names in those days! It's just because every series of cbb especially the winter ones since 2014 just happen to be good while imo the only good normal bb for c5 was 2013 and that would still rank below most cbb's from recent years.

Also I think that normal bb is a dead format. Everyone knows that it's not as good as it used to be and it just becomes worse every year. There was a similar feeling with cbb up until cbb13 where bb found its mojo back under a new platform. To most people, it's like normal big brother doesn't even exist like today people would say "do you watch celebrity big brother?" But in 2006 when cbb was on it would still be "do you watch big brother?" They were the same show in channel 4 days and now there basically 2 different ones.

This series is doing really well! I hope the ratings continue to grow, it makes me think why do we have a CBB in the summer?! At first it wasn't too bad for C5 but now it's not doing them any favours i think..

summer in red
winter in blue

CBB8 - 2.8
CBB9 - 2.6 -0.2
CBB10 - 2.2 -0.4
CBB11 - 2.8 +0.6
CBB12 - 2.3 -0.5
CBB13 - 3.1 +0.8
CBB14 - 2.1 -1.0
CBB15 - 3.1 +1.0
CBB16 - 1.9 -1.2
CBB17 (as it stands officially atm. It's still growing too - 2.64 +0.7

Seems to be a pattern, when people moan online, ratings go up. Odd.

There should be quite a few 3m+ officials with the week we have had in the last 10 days. You saw the officials released on Monday, yes?

[Crimson Dynamo]

every series you get the moaners and the doom predictors

the numbers say otherwise and this series the DM are running stories each day with hundreds of comments

[Mrmattybeck]

Seems to be the constant twists and nominations that seems to annoy people

I agree with the nominations but theres been no twists this series really.

Anyway tonight should bring in alot of viewers if Live Feed is anything to go by there was a huge argument and security were called in.

[Mrmattybeck]

But I've much preferred this series to last January

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Erm so wheres the ratings for last night?

[*mazedsalv**]

I contacted someone who works at Broadcast for the ratings as they didn't include what CBB got on their site, and with Digital Spy not doing ratings anymore i had to ask.

The person was very quick and helpful, nice to know people are out there who are willing to help out, so if anyone wanted to know...

2.5m (11.3%)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

What did Wednesday night get though?

I posted it above.

2.5m (11.3%). The person who writes up the articles on Broadcast emailed me as it wasn't on the report.

As for last night, it got 2.38m excl +1, so looks to be around 2.7m, so will let you know when i get it.

Ah ok thanks

I think yesterdays episode may be a 2.9 I really think word of mouth after Stephs meltown would have brought in a lot of viewers on +1.

Not quite, last night got

Channel 5:
Celebrity Big Brother- 2.6m (12.2%)

I thought it would have been 2.7m but looking at that share it's the highest of the series, just behind launch and the interview of Megan last Friday which got 13%. So not many people watching TV last night.

About tonight, with the people up i was sure it would be at least 2.8m, but Manchester United are playing in the FA Cup tonight so that will dent it... also the interview may not do great because the over hyped Zayn from 1D is appearing on Graham Norton, his first interview since leaving. Others include Will Smith, Ryan Reynolds, Toby Jones and Catherine Zeta Jones... so one of the best lineups in ages imo.
