Perhaps a number of reasons

1)Lack of proper advertising.

After 2 years of considerate favourtism towards pushing the budget on cbb. Five need to focus it more on the civ version to save this format and make the public more aware.

2)lack of intrest...

Perhap's the format is on it's last legs and people just don't really care about big bro anymore, no matter what changes or advertising occur.

Should this trend continue, i'd certainly not advise the end, BB (certainly the celeb) can still pull big numbers, and as twitter shown last night the civ bb was making alot of noise, which no other show on he channel can attract.

I'd propose a break for a year, keep the contract with endemol, bring it back under massive publicity etc, and if it still fails then yes i'd end it for good.

And finally

3)General viewership is down all over the board

and

4)Misleading title, "Big Brother secrets and lies" without proper/clear advertising, people could of quite easily mistaken it for a documentary and not really cared...i'm baffled as to how it's come no where near the previous two launch's.

The BBC deliberately sabotaged the BB launch with that cats programme.

[oathbreaker]

Emma was amazing and proved totally how wrong Channel 5 got it putting Brian in charge.

Housemates weren't good. they still have a chance to throw some more in tonight even if that means no beds and do some massive vote to kick out next week

[JohnnyBB]

I worked it out now looking at the twitter facts, big brothers target market is the female's, it didint stand a chance with the cat show cause that targeted female watches, Also men that dont let there wives girlfreinds ect watch big brother, where the most watched with channel 4s alien documentry.

and a part of me still thinks pepole are pissed off with conor winning the 50k

glad you mentioned the C word..
I do think last years farce really pissed a lot of people off someone boring winning BB people can forget and not really hold a grudge but when someone like him can basically do what he wants and get the reward that's going to hurt the show.

I just feel for Emma as she did a brilliant job.

Intriguing program tbh. Admittedly, I did watch BB instead of it but I will be watching the cats thing.

People didn't miss much not tuning in anyway.

cats are taking over...

I hope so.

I would love it to rise but sadly don't think that's going to happen.

[MTVN]

Tonight should pick up with it being a Friday and still officially a 'launch night', plus people should know it's actually back now

But yeah, still terrible

[Novo]

don't worry, it's just some sort of mis-calculation 11.99m ( without +1 ) will be announced shortly

[The_Big_Send_Off]

if only.. i wish i watched it when it was the biggest reality show on tv!

would have been the amazing to see it when bb3 got 10m on final

[JohnnyBB]

Im watching this cat show on demand, its bloody good!

[karezza]

Cats kill birds

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im fuming.

Hope those cats get cat aids.

[karezza]

Cats are evil. Stop the pro-cat propaganda!

[erinp5]

I am not surprised ,there was no buzz to the show last night. I find the Hms overweight unattractive plain and uninteresting.Having the Hms go in over two nights was a big mistake I don't feel BB has started.As for Michael the 'actor' what a joke.
I think my addiction to BB might just be cured after last nights disaster.
Emma was faultless ,she did the show very well.

This is what happens when you don't promote it enough and save the money for the 4398579th series of Celebrity Big Brother. ****ing morons.

Anyway I said this the other day but just in case anyone in charge of the decision is reading...you drop the civilian series, I turn off. I shan't be watching two CBB's a year without the original run.

And why do I get the feeling that the reason they haven't yet promoted 5*'s live feed is because they don't want it to do well so that they can reduce it, rather than increase it...

Its probably the hardcore fans complaining about voiceovers and graphics. If the hardcore fans have things to be bitter about, the on-off fans wouldn't be excited either. Blame yourselves.

That doesn't even make any sense.
