Yeah jake was first

Tbh I haven't even watched BB yet

[Jake.]

Not a bad rating all considered, could have been far more disastrous

[jackc1806]

It'll be worse tonight IMO being at 9

[The_Big_Send_Off]

was expecting it in that range, should pick up on officials, can imagine alot of people catching up like i did myself

[uniquedude]

I dont think it will cancelled because only a handful on shows on channel 5 consistently get 1 million plus viewers, most weeks not even one of their shows even hit 2 million. And I think you have to take competitors into consideration: towie and made in chelsea are the nearest competitors and they get around 1 million viewers per episode it just the type of show.

BB is an expensive show to run, so much so that ITV backed out because it cost to much.

1 million per show wont cut it and certainly wont make them any huge profit.

There's no buzz this year

[jackc1806]

Apparently it may be higher because that only includes people who have watched 50% of BB so far.. Confusing tweet

[*mazedsalv**]

I wouldn't call that accurate, apparently it's a little higher and we don't know if it includes +1 either (according to DS)

@overnightstv: @unhappybbfan Hi there. No - just "heavy viewers". Total for last night was 902k/4.3% on C5, and 123.7k/1.2% on C5+1 http://t.co/Gu75jKfL7Z

1.03m incl +1 then? That's decent considering.

[jackc1806]

Actually 1.025m

I was expecting slightly higher, 996 I think I said.

My god tonight they are totally screwed right in the anus.

Up against Corrie and the football.

I think BB14 would have held up better last night, I think it would have managed to stay above 1 million, it seemed to have more of a following.

BB is a show you really have to invest in so the fact the world cup is on maybe people just don't want to commit to watching 3 months of it. Its its ALOT of tv to watch/ People have lives.

Or it could be that the launch turned everyone off.

It will be interesting to see the officials then we will know if the fanbase is still there or if the if 1.5 to 2 million who usually stick with the summer series have simply tuned out.

+1 helped it. It got 1.03m with +1.

Thought it was 1.02?

[*mazedsalv**]

1.025m would round up to 1.03m

It came 3rd in its slot I think, BBC2 Mock the Week debuted at 1.0m and Ch4 was at like half a million or less!

[Iceman]

I reckon thats gonna be the norm while world cup is on....one thing that may come out of this is a jump in viewers in july when its finished..... /optimist

[Jake.]

I think that it held up considerably well

[*mazedsalv**]

Other things in the 10pm slot...

BBC2- 1.00m
Ch4- 470,000

Channel 5 doesn't look too bad. It shows the fan base really, Mock the Week started with 1.00m (stupid idea to have its new series start last night against the World Cup, I'm guessing the crossover is big for the WC and MTW). Usually Mock The Week gets 2.3-2.9m. So for BB to beat a show which usually thrashes BB is interesting.

It shows that the Mock The Week audience is more of the World Cup audience than BB/World Cup. Not surprising, MTW has a big male audience.

Your slagging off BB all the time is boring... It'll be full because people just turn up

Erm where did you get that from?

Tonight's fully booked!



^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

FAIL.

[Brother Leon]

It won't be as bad after today. If it starts at 10 then it doesn't clash with any games..until the knockouts and there is a chance of extra time anyway.
