I'm not good in the first ten minutes, it took me ages to type that out:

[armand.kay]

Have the officials for week one been released yet?

[Samm]

1.1 (incl +1)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Dissapointing.

[Gstar]

Me and everyone else I know hardly ever watch it at the broadcasted time, life is way too busy. The officials should be good

[Gstar]

They should include Irelands atings

I agree with this I don't know why they don't include Irelands ratings.

[MB.]

They really need to stop scheduling it against Love Island

[armand.kay]

Can the yuth get some taste and stop prioritising LI

[Will.]

Up on last years second Thursday which got 1.05M

[Will.]

I think it's holding up considerably well as LI was getting like 200K views last year and this year it's getting around 800K and BB17 is rating higher than BB16.

[Rob!]

Urgh it needs to be up. As if Love Island has actually gotten so close to it in the ratings.

[Will.]

LI officials are decent, 1.25M for most days.

[Rob!]

I mean fair play to ITV2, they've struck gold this series. Chances are it'll grow next year as well. BB needs to be well out of it's way next year, let's be realistic about this.

[Will.]

BB is around 400K views higher than LI.

Yeah ITV2 deserve, it's a good show.

I mean the cast isn't very diverse and there all young people but it works.

[Jack_]

Love Island deserve these ratings after such an incredible promo campaign (and a great series to boot), if only C5 had followed their lead the consistent figures this series is posting might've been a little higher

If you don't grab them on the launch, chances are you're not going to at all. The promotion ****ing sucked and this is the result

Tbf though I only saw them promoting LI on ITV and no other channel so that's why it got big numbers because BGT was watched by like 9M.

[Jason.]

Speaking of LI, this year has done amazingly well. Last year the first week averaged 0.5m but this year the first week has averaged 1.3m which is almost triple. And last week did well too with that 1m overnight figure.

C5 do the same tbf - like they only ever show their ads on C5 really. The difference is LI promotes it better within its channel - they have those countdown tags at the top of the screen so anyone watching ITV2 will know when it's on and they even do it during the series as well as prior. Alongside that they have their ads and little snippets and teasers. All C5 do is just show the BB advert during a repeat of Home and Away.

Yeah that's what I meant, they had smilier promotional campaigns.

That's what ITV did, just played the advert on repeat and it got annoying.

It's the standard.

I wonder what it will get tonight. Similar? 1.1m again? It won't go up until both Euros and LI finishes.

[Will.]

LI will always have the advantage of having ITV which is a huge Chanel.

LI promotion was less messy and overall good.

[Rob!]

Not expecting great things from tonight. Up against the football, Eurotrash (which apparently was quite the cult show in it's day) and Love Island.

[*mazedsalv**]

Shame ratings will be piss poor for last night, shame because last night was fantastic!

[Will.]

It might not be, I mean it held up quite well last Friday, and there's no Gogglebox this week.
