[BB IS ALIVE]

oh god, does'nt give much hope of a final over 3m.....

[CharlieO]

Clear that Tara's departure effects it.

[Callum]

Wow, very bad.

[Patrick]

It's obviously because of the silly time Channel 5 put it in.

Why they let some silly new little game show [Red or Black] take over the schedule and make them chance their time is ridiculous, they should know that Big Brother is the MAIN game show, it's the one and only - and now it's their own fault that the ratings were a fail last night.

I knew it would happen.

I agree, it was dire

Also worth mentioning Million Pound Drop won round 2 of the C4 vs. C5 battle with 1.85million viewers (8.6%) and a further 176,000 on +1

[Jake.]

Will pick back up tonight

[Patrick]

^ What he said.

It's crazy aswell, how only 1.5 Million lucky people witnessed Amy and Lucien, Jedward's triple bed, the housemates being vajazzaled or of course Bobby's Diary Room Pose.

A fantastic HL show - went to waste.

[Maia]

I feel like crying.

['Conor]

tis cause Tara left people switched off like moi

[happybbfan]

No more excuses please whatever the time the highlights show is on if people want to watch it they will.Lets face facts this CBB has not been the must see one that even last year was on C4.
live feed may be a factor but if the casual viewer isnt even bothered and thats who c5 care about atm,its looking very grim for BB12

I'd say the majority of the viewers this year ARE casual viewers, who will watch the show when it's on but if something they want to watch more is on another channel (Jonathan Ross/Xtra Factor) they will watch that instead. It's no secret that this years CBB is no where near as good ratings wise as the prvious ones there's been, and that BB12 won't be getting the ratings that CBB has been getting. I doubt tonights show will get amazing ratings either, but I believe that, as usual, it will stay at around 2m next week (hopefully a bit more for the final, not sure about launch though because that hasn't really been getting any promotion). Let's just hope that the weekdays for BB12 can remain at around 2m!

[JohnnyBB]

for some funny reason i can see weekend shows being axed for the public series

[Jordan.]

pmsl!

[Roy Mars III]

People were watching Jonathan Ross.

[Maia]

*cries*

[DigitalSid]

1.61m corrected

[BB IS ALIVE]

Red or black will lose viewers hopefully, when people realise it's trash presented by two anoying tw*ts.
