I doubt John Q Public is going to reflect on all this and say 'Hmm ... I would watch it ... but Davina's not in it is she'.

In fact I think that would be the least of his worries. Especially when it's being aired by a national embarrasment of a channel.

The fact I talk to tons of BB Fans and the majority of them have all said 'It won't be the same without Davina'.

Not many on this forum have said it, which is good - but on my Facebook page which has thousands of fans on it; the general impression from them is that it'll suck balls without Chavina.

I don't think they really represent the casual viewerbase when push comes to shove but yeah ... that's pretty stupid .

I think the fact that Cbb and BB are on back to back will really affect the proper series in a bad way.

Dedicating an hour a day for 17 weeks to a tv show takes hardcore fans.

Then again i think the fact its on over the winter period will have a good impact on ratings as people wont be sat out in the beer gardens and instead will be staying in.

******ing Stupid CBB, It can just piss off.

I think at the peak of the most viewers will be the MOST 2.5 Million. If you look back at Big Brother's ratings from the past few years
BB8 - 3.9M
BB9 - 3.6M
BB10 - 2.5M
BB11 - 4.3M
I think if those viewers follow the series onto Channel 5 we could possibly get to the 3M Mark if C5 are lucky!

BB11 did not average 4.3M lol dunno why wikipedia says that.

It averaged 3 Million

I won't miss Davina in the slightest,it needs a new presenter and she was starting to really annoy with her favourites and also her eviction interviews went right down and became very boring.

I said 3 series ago that it was time for her to step aside now.I'm glad she's gone,she was excellent for most of the series but the last few, no way.

No matter how much this is advertised, I think it'll be down to how different it is from the C4 series, and launch night, that will affect the ratings. Also the HM's.

It will be fine and besides aint C4 doing worse than C5 recently anyway? I havent heard of one show pulling in 1 million viewers for ages on C4,where as C5 has CSI Vegas,CSI Miami,CSI New York,Home And Away,Neighbours,The Gadget Show.

They all pull in 1 million viewers,some of them might be 2 million viewers which is strong for C5,so I think if C5 Big Brother is good enough it could be pulling in slightly bigger than what it was pulling in on C4 in the end.

I 100% agree jf, I think it will be seen as a really great success on and for Channel 5.
Good examples you gave of the already successes on Channel 5 too, Neighbours still getting around 1.5 million even on Channel 5.

Your wrong

My big fat gypsy wedding pulls in 8 million on Channel 4

And the million pound drop still gets over 2 million

People wont give it a second chance in general so channel 5 are going to focus on bringing in kids to watch. This will ultimately make the show over dramatic and cheesy which will drive existing fans away so the ratings will not be good.

I do not want this to happen but I can definitely see it happening.
