The 2nd show did bad, but 1st show did well (for this series anyways) because 2.7m with no +1.

I think the officials are being released on Tues/Weds, so the ratings that are about 2-2.4m will turn into 2.4-2.9m in the officials i think.

The 1st show could end up getting about 3.4-3.5m in the officials, which is quite good.

I think the officials are for launch week (they release them after 2 weeks) so we'll only get Thursday 4th-Sunday 7th

Oh okay well i will predict for the officials:

Launch- 5.5m
Friday 5th- 3.3m
Satuday 6th- 2.5m
Sunday 7th- 2.5m (because of it being late more people would have caught up)

Isn't 1.7m the lowest rating ever for regular BB?

Yes, but the first evictions in recent years tend to do the worst anyway and for 3 years running the first out has been worst rated ever, 4 series' if you include CBB.

Even in BB5 when up against an England match it still got 1.8m I think

[Tom]

I reckon they're in a bit of a dilemma this year. I think slightly more 16-34 year olds are watching this year (figures this year seem to be 0.8-9m this year slightly up on last year) yet the ratings as a whole are down .... and its the 16-34 year olds the advertisers want when it comes to BB so are the other 1m or so irrelevant? Do they recommission it for C4, for E4 or not at all?

[Spike]

Good for the first show when taking into account some of the bad ratings
Also good for the second show considering that during BB8 and BB9 there was bigger drops between the two shows
Hopefully throughout next week the ratings will climb a little furthur

[Tom]

Predicting all time highlights ratings low for tonight after that awful episode .... about 1.7m

[*mazedsalv**]

Naa i predict 2.2m just like last weeks Saturday episode, i didnt think it was awful.... well Karly made the show for me anyways.

[M X]

What did tonight's show get?

[Tom]

Loved the Karly bit (and the Marcus bit before it) but everything else was awful I thought .... MichaelSpears we'll find out tomorrow (hopefully) ratings don't usually come out till the next morning

[cleaner67]

Hope we`re not going to be watching those 2 in bed all the time
it`s been done to death in previous years and getting boring now, and don`t think it`ll help the ratings.

For BB, yes. Not much better than the slot average now.

Everything pretty much inbetween 2-3m. Lowest so far has been 1.9m (unless you count Friday which hasn't added +1) and nothing over 3m except launch.

Series average so far is roughly 2.6m, about 1m down on 3.6m for week 1 during BB9.

To put a positive spin on it its still regularly Channel 4's best rated show, pulls in a large amount of 16-34 year olds and is slightly up with that demographic than last year. But thats just straw clutching and doesn't explain where 1m viewers have gone.

Well i think that including +1 Sophia's eviction (1st show ) pulled in over 3m, which is much better and an increase, but ratings are still between about 2.2-2.6m right around now.

We dont know last nights yet.

President your making it out as if BB9 was more popular mediawise last year? It really wasn't. The launch got more media coverage yeah but it The Sun still confined all the news to a double page spread.

Accually, last year BB9 was accually popular because Newspapers had it on their front pages.

If they didnt then I Wouldnt of watched the last few weeks of BB9 Because when I went on holiday I relied on the newspapers over there to give me the news.
If it wasnt for...
"LUKE EVICTED!" and a Picture of him on the front page, then I would of never of known he left until I got back.

So Newspapers did play a huge part in BB Last year and BB9 was always on front pages.

Even when it finished I was coming back from school and the newspaper had "REX BEDS STEPH!" On the page..
So it was really popular

[Rob]

what was the ratings last night

[*mazedsalv**]

This is whats been reported
Okayy this is for the dreadful weekend ratings......

Friday (1)- 2.8m
Friday (2)- 1.9m
Saturday..... WAIT FOR IT.... 1.6m!!!
Sundays- 2.24m (thats okay for a Sunday considerings its a lot lower on Sundays and it got the same as the middle of the week).

[cleaner67]

Thanks for the info. Saturday terrible but then i suppose a lot out
clubbing, Sundays not bad though.

[Tom]

If I'm not mistaken 1.6m is the lowest audience ever for regular BB?

[President]

It says on IBB that it was the lowest ever for a summer Big Brother.

Previous lowest was 1.8 million.

[marctierman]

Oh noes..

[Wildcat!]

Good boune back for ratings. We cant get our expectations too high. This is good for BB right now. And again, the buzz from the row, and LF cut had a lot to do with it. ANd also the time it plays as well. WHy cant they schedule the show around 8 and 9?
Anyways, I am encouraged, please keep it above 2.2 millions and I will aways be happy

[*mazedsalv**]

The Saturday ratings were horrendus, but am i right in saying that NO show on Saturday got over 5.5m?? Everything was in the 2-4m zone on Saturday, Mumbai Calling got 2.17m on ITV which is dreadful as well.

But it was a good bounce back on Sunday with almost 700,000 being added from the day before. Last night got higher than Tuesday and Thursday, and normally Sundays do worse.
