What did the final get with +1 then anyone know?

I didn't say/mean the actual ratings themselves were good

I said if it manages to get the same or close to last years summer series that's good i.e not bad, considering it averages 2m. Also CBB14 didn't rate that badly at all (well for a summer CBB anyway). Granted, it was the lowest rated CBB at the time. Summer CBB's with the exception of CBB8 (which was the shows re-launch, so ofc that was going to rate higher) have all rated low. CBB14 averaged 2.1m whilst CBB10 and 12 both got 2.3m and 2.2m respectively. So 2.1m isn't that big of a drop at all. Let's face it any summer CBB series which gets at least 2m is fine. It's a fact that the summer ones always rate considerably lower than the January ones anyway.

Officials will be in later for Mon 14th-Sun 20th. The Mon 14th was the return of Jarrah which got 1.83m in overnights so that surely should be a ~2.2m type figure.

Then next Monday we will know the last 4 days (Monday-Thursday final) and will be finally given the official average.

[*mazedsalv**]

Officials with +1. Saturdays does not have it's +1 available. Brackets were the overnights

Monday 14th- 2.28m (1.83m)
Tuesday 15th- 1.99m (1.65m)
Weds 16th- 2.01m (1.63m)
Thurs 17th- 2.02m (1.60m)
Friday 18th- 1.77m (1.30m) *against opening ceremony/rugby match
Sat 19th- 1.24m (820,000)
Sun 20th- 1.68m (1.25m)

Week average- 1.86m.

The weekend damaged the show quite a bit.

With only 4 days of officials left to go is 1.88m.

The 4 shows remaining shows will have it stay in the 1.9m area. So it is pretty clear this series is averaging 1.9m. With the double eviction and final getting 1.74m overnights, that should be at least 2.1m, so it shouldn't be going under 1.9m (1.84m or under).

Well this series is going to average 1.9m, 200k down on last summer. It's not great, but when we looked at the first week, we all expected it to be a really bad drop (around 600k or so), but the officials have helped it.

So far with 4 days to go, 1.88m is the average (with 3 Sat +1 figures missing). I predict an average of 1.90m bang on.

Yeah, I always knew this series would average around 1.9m. It's followed the same pattern all the other summer CBB's have - around half a million more than the civilian series they followed averaged.

Not good ratings, but tbh good ratings don't always mean a good series and I hope C5 take that into account. Like BB13 averaged the same as BB12 and BB15 (two awful series did), but that doesn't stop it being the best Civvy BB series on C5 (well imo anyway). It was the same on C4 with series like CBB3 and BB6 which rated well for C4, but didn't rate extremely high. Both those series followed BB5 which averaged 5.1m and then you had those two which rated 4.3m and 4.6m respectively - but that doesn't mean they were bad series. Same goes with CBB9 which averaged 2.6m for a Jan CBB.

I'm just rambling on, but you get my point

[Rob!]

As far as channel 5 will be concerned, the series did well. Over 2m is nothing to dismiss as bad.

But it hasn't averaged over 2 million.

Its averaged the same as BB14 maybe slightly less.

It has been a brilliant series though and is still dominating all online media.

Lol yeah, I know. I made that post last week before the officials came through today. I doubt those final 5 days will make much of a difference to the overall average.

But I agree, it's been a brilliant series.

Yeah it's a sham it's the lowest ever, but I think it was expected. I think it did good to close the gal though. As you said, it's not great, but in the first week of overnights, we were all saying FLOP, this will be down from last summer by over half a million etc... it did well to not haemorrhage viewers like some series.

[*mazedsalv**]

We have the final 4 officials of the series! All include +1

Monday 21st- 1.86m
Tuesday 22nd- 2.08m
Weds 23rd- 1.73m
Thursday 24th (FINAL)- 2.05m

Odd just like CBB15, the final being lower than a couple of days before.

The official series average of CBB16 is 1.88m. Rounded to 1.9m. Same as BB14, 200k down on last summer.

[Jason.]

Not the CBB16 final rating less than the BB14 final

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Shocking ratings for a CBB especially when it was such a great series!

I don't think we will be seeing the return of summer CBB.

[RichardG]

Not good by any means but not as bad as I was expecting earlier in the series

[*mazedsalv**]

It's not good, BUT it's not as awful as we expected it to be after that first weekend of overnights we got. I thought it would match BB16. 1.9m is poor for CBB but good for C5.

I think it will still come back in the summer because looking at BARB, all 7 shows of the week took up the Top 10 of the week every week so... I think the ratings needed to match BB16 in order for C5 to say "OK, we won't have it on in the summer". But I still hope it's only on winter.

Such awful ratings for a fantastic series such a shame
