With how I feel about it all right now I'd rather they just wiped the slate clean, followed this series through and left any form of BB and CBB off air for a few years and I've always been one of those people that's argued against that.

[supertv247]

Down on last week, down 730k on last January and even down 100k on summer
it’s starting to look like it’ll average less than 2 million officially now

[Jodie.]

This series really doesn’t deserve these **** ratings

[Jodie.]

1.5m (7.0%) last night

1.45 million to be exact, which is down 300k on last week. These numbers are going to pull the official average below 2 million which is truly ****ing tragic

Ugh this is SO ****ing annoying bc when they actually produce a series properly and listen to their fans (mainly looking at CBB20 & CBB21) about the **** stirring tasks etc the ratings just get so so low whereas you look at a series like CBB18 and it’s likely to rate higher than this series

So it’s either the damage has already been done and it’ll be axed, or they give it one more chance for word of mouth to spread about how not-C5 they’re producing it now

Yeah it's not good. I don't see how they'll improve because I don't think this lot will have rows , just bitch a lot.

however I enjoyed last nights show much more than the rest of the week.

[Gstar]

Apparently the second half of last nights eviction got less than a million viewers. If this is true then BB is cancelled

[T*]

CBB - 1.49m 7.6%
Will & Grace - 780k 5.0%
CBB - 960k 7.0%
CBBBOTS - 395k 4.0%

She’s dead.

[Jodie.]

If someone told me Winter CBB would get below 1 million viewers a couple of years ago I would pmsl, but it’s actually happened wtf

Feel like it could even rate 1.9m

[RileyH]

[supertv247]

Last year got 1.8 and 1.6 for the same episode, and we slated that as bad...

[T*]

are they even getting profit at this point?

[T*]

like if they had a pound for every viewer from last nights ep they wouldn’t be able to afford RayJ’s fee

[Gstar]

Throwback to CBB15

Not an excuse for it dropping to 2.85 million

[Jodie.]

They should’ve kept CBB the way it was, it doesn’t go on long enough for the drama to be natural imo. It’s the civilian version that needed these current changes, but I’m not sure if they’ll keep them due to these ratings

[Eddie.]

It's very surreal to think that just last year, Winter CBB was in the 2.6 mil. range, seems like ages ago when comparing it to the 1.4 mil. we get now. Even India's interview got 1.1 mil. viewers which is really bad.

the thing is they go from one extreme to another
there’s no balance

The worrying thing now is where bbuk goes from here.....?

BB19 to get a 500k average?

My AMAZING theory is so let’s face it, production right now is probably the best it’ll ever be on C5 now and word of mouth has spread that to old viewers which is why the ratings kept growing and growing initially. HOWEVER after India left and there was no drama or anything, people switched off due to the cast not delivering.

So I think people may want to watch bbuk bc most of the main problems have been fixed (outside contact, **** stirring tasks etc), but they just need a great cast to deliver. Polar opposites would be a good idea for that, eg say a gay person and a homophobic person in the house together, or a Muslim/refugee with a person that doesn’t think Britain should get involved because “its not our problem”

Well this went to 100 real quick


I do agree that word of mouth could help for bbuk. If they REALLY pulled it out the bag, had a solid cast with this stripped back format etc then maybe we could see BB19 overtake CBB21 in ratings... Who knows

[T*]

A cast similar to BB5 or BB7 would be good, controversial people who might clash brought together in one house
They have to be normal-ish like those series’ housemates though, no former TV appearances and a range of ages
