Yep. Last week of CBB13: 2.61M, 3.63M, 3.49M, 3.41M and 3.71M. January will not hit that, I am positive, CBB13 was a monster!

I don't understand how its static to CBB12 though when the equivilant week almost every show beat CBB14 by around 200k.

It had 4 highlights that hit over 2.5 yet CBB13's highest highlights show is 2.39

:/

These averages really don't make sense to me sometimes, surely if a show was getting higher ratings each night the running average should be higher?

Ah, I was speaking about its series official average, it should be noted that both CBB10 and CBB12 declined rapidly after the first week. CBB12 averaged 2.50m in the first week, yes, but that was slightly boosted by a much higher official launch rating, CBB12 then fell to around a 2.1m official, didn't it?

I know, I shouldn't compare this first week with the whole series of CBB10 and CBB12, but it gives us ground to work with.

As for the missing +1 rating, Tuesday got 2.16m.

So, we have:

Mon: 2.75M
Tue: 2.16M
Wed: 2.39M
Thu: 2.29M
Fri: 2.34M
Sat: 2.03M
Sun: 2.28M

CBB14 first week average- 2.32m incl +1

Not complaining though its impressive how BB managed to pull back around 800k to 2.3 million viewers when BB15 averaged a pathetic 1.55.

CBB12 did come off the back of a very successful civilian series aswell.

Agreed, I know it makes no difference but according to Bbspy the BB15 official average is 1.57m (however still with 10 +1 missing that no one can find).

But yes, here were the week averages for CBB12:

Week 1- 2.50M
Week 2- 2.33M
Week 3- 2.15M
= 2.3m official

Hoping CBB14 doesn't drop across the run and hopefully will avoid being the least watched CBB (would need to drop under 1.8m daily) but to be fair even if it does, I think Ch5 would applaud at the climb from the civilian series.

1.8m last night for cbb

Its rating around half a million higher compared to bbuk as well

[Jake.]

Good stuff!

[Will.]

Not bad, Mondays haven't been doing so well with this series, but it came third in its slot which is good.

It actually came 4th, beating BBC2 and only 20k away from CH4.

But yes, anyway, it was up 190k from last Monday.

Meanwhile New Tricks dropped to its lowest rating ever at 5.3m at 9pm.

[Jake.]

Is that Saturday official rating from the huge episode? Managed to timeshift well

[*mazedsalv**]

Poor rating last night.... 1.57m incl +1

The 10pm slot just isn't working for CBB and really dragging the average down, now it will be worse with parents and kids/college starting again, so people can't really afford to go to bed at 11pm. Change it back to 9pm, there is literally no competition apart from In The Club on BBC1, I mean 9pm slot on ITV got 1.5m! Move it to 9pm!

That's bad, it's because of school etc staring! Glad it's on at 9 tonight

Agree, it was also scheduled until 11:05pm when it finished at 10:57pm, and the 1.57m is not tapechecked so it may be slightly more but not sure.

Good share of 10.2% though.

Oh so it's just because there weren't many people watching tv as the share proves. The share is very good.

To be fair I thought last nights show was the worst one of Cbb giving us showmances so boring

Yep, the task should probably have been focussed on more, don't know what they were thinking about George/Stephanie and Lauren/Ricci getting over airtime!

Tonight should be at around 1.9m again surely.

Hopefully the producers need to stop with these showmances no one cares about them anymore

[Rob!]

The 10pm move is frustrating - if it had gone out at 9pm it would have come second in it's slot like CSI did.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I struggled to watch last nights show tbh.

It has got a bit boring now. I haven't seen last night yet but I was struggling with the day before.

Agree these showmances don't help either

I think we're all getting BB fatigue which is understandable after almost 90 days!

Shame the rating wasn't great at 10pm.. though saying that the share is pretty impressive!

I just hope the producers, directors, whoever's actually in charge of commission, continues to look at the shares. As we know, this year, more than ever people aren't watching Live TV, so for CBB to hold a 10% share imo is pretty impressive after nearly 15 years, and hopefully the ratings - if they turn out low in the long run - suggest there's still a strong marketplace for Celebrity Big Brother. My main issue is civilian, it got a 5.6% share, compared to Channel 5's annual average of 4.4% of the market.

Just so anybody's interested, I thought it'd be interesting to showcase the shares and ratings of each CBB. (NOTE - The viewers in millions are official ratings, therefore the actual share is not representative of the overall viewing population, but I was interested to see if there's a correlation considering most officials increase 200-300K.)

CBB8 - 2.8M (12%) (S)
CBB9 - 2.6M (10%)
CBB10 - 2.2M (9.4%) (S)
CBB11 - 2.8M (9.9%)
CBB12 - 2.3M (9.9%) (S)
CBB13 - 3.0M (10.9%)

CBB14 - 2.32M (9.4%) (S)

So currently.. CBB14 is pretty much on par with the previous summer series, ever so slightly higher than CBB12. And with the same share as CBB10 of 9.4% the viewing figures for Celebrity Big Brother are extremely stable.

Overall CBB on Channel 5 holds an average of 2.57 million viewers. With an average share of 10.2%.

So in all, the current run of Summer CBB14 is underpar with the total average, however still up on the average in terms of numbers for summer, and on par with the share of 9.4%. Of course, a week's official ratings aren't a lot to go by, but in terms of stability, CBB is doing extremely well. Of course, summer and winter must be spoken of separately.
