Personally I think the dip is due to KP fans coming on board but slipping away as they are not CBB fans and Katie is no longer a show storyline anymore. She has gone to bed counting the 500,ooo smackers she got for 2 weeks work doing very little bar slagging of her x partners and present hubby.

Broadcast has this rounded up figure:

Celebrity Big Brother was next in line with a respectable 2.7m (11.8%) for Channel 5, ahead of ITV’s Bring Back Borstal, which slipped by 200,000 from last week to register 1.7m (7.7%).

So added quite a bit! Will post the more accurate rating when it comes out!

For the 3rd week running, CBB came 2nd on the Thursday in its slot beating ITV. To be fair, Bring Back Borstal is good, it's odd that it's flopping so hard.

Last Thursday got 2.63m and a share of 11.5% so higher share last night!

2.7 is a good rating and a possible 3 million official again there.

On average it's looking to add around 450k official on average so yep, should be comfortably above 3m... around 3.10m-3.15m I would guess.

[Jake.]

2.7 is a fine rating

[*mazedsalv**]

More accurate.. It got 2.65m incl +1. This was up 20,000 from last Thursday, up by share, and also up on the 3rd Thursday rating of last January which got 2.37m.

It really is slaying last years ratings they seem pitiful in comparison.

I do think now that that after a quiet few days and a fickle audience who tuned in to see the drama we will be seeing more 2.5/2.6 figures from now on.

Cant see it pulling those casual viewers back in and getting 3.2 again but the fact we got those ratings is amazing. Last nights should in my opinion have been higher due to it being an explosive episode and I would have thought people would want to tune in to catching up after the NTA'S the night before.

Pretty sure Ch5 will be so happy to again be 2nd in the slot! And almost 1m ahead of ITV

9pm slot in full:

BBC1: Death in Paradise- 6.50m
BBC2: Winterwatch Unsprung- 1.47m. Surviving the Holocaust- 1.24m
ITV: Bring Back Borstal- 1.72m
CH4- Cucumber- 1.23m
CH5- Celebrity Big Brother- 2.65m

Big Brother still being relevant

[Rob!]

It's still on course to be the most watched C5 series isn't it? It's
So weird that the winter series seems to be reaching new heights each year and yet both the summer series are going downhill

Its just BB fatigue after the months of regular BB plus more people watch tv in January all round.

I think in the future c5 may just continue with cbb in January and cut the summer one

I think there is more of a chance that they'll shorten the normal BB series and extend CBB as it's proving more popular.

[Loukas]

I think they are taking regular BB seriously, they upped the prize fund to Ł150k and they are plugging the auditions website more than they did last year. If anything they will cancel summer CBB and focus on one of each series (focusing more on CBB)

I doubt Endemol will ever agree to reducing the format to just a celeb version.

While the celeb version continues to be a heavy hitter (which it appears to be rating very, very well). I'd argue that Endemol have the ball in their court. They could effectively threaten to pull the plug and then five would be without all these mega ratings the jan version brings in.

For as long as the civ version can pull in 1million viewers every night it won't be going anywhere. That's still on par with slot average, plus i highly doubt endemol will ever agree to that, as they would essientially be putting themselves out of work/money.

This

Normal BB is not going down hill BB14 did amazing, and BB15 was ruined by the football and the cast mainly

[mrmattybeck1]

#CelebrityBigBrother pulled in 2.64m/11.1%, yesterday's most watched programme away from BBC1 and ITV.

[*mazedsalv**]

Those will be the ratings from now on, officials should still hit 3m with those numbers, so it's all good.

Tonight will be by far the lowest of the series. No rows or controversy this Saturday to be shown!

Yep around 1.8m

[mrmattybeck1]

Anything for bots

[*mazedsalv**]

OK, here are all the overnights to date with CBB13s in brackets. Ones that have a * next to it means that one of them was a Saturday episode.

Launch- 3.27m (3.40m)
2.55m (1.85m) *
2.31m (2.33m)
2.25m * (2.43m)
2.69m (2.31m)
2.40m (2.63m)
2.52m (2.34m)
2.57m (2.54m)
2.63m (2.07m) *
2.92m (2.31m)
2.56m * (2.29m)
3.22m (2.49m)
2.63m (2.49m)
2.96m (2.45m)
2.29m (2.51m)
2.65m (1.90m) *
2.63m (2.71m)

CBB13 up until this point in overnights- 2.41M
CBB15 up until this point in overnights- 2.65M

However, CBB13s last week surged by quite a lot which helped it out a lot.

[Josy]

That is some great figures. Well done producers

[*mazedsalv**]

Three more officials released:

12/01 - 3.08m (2.40m)
13/01 - 2.91m (2.52m)
14/01 - 3.06m (2.57m)

Jesus that 680,000 timeshift for Monday! That was Ken's ejection I think.

So in terms of officials:

3.65m
3.03m
2.76m
2.84m
3.23m
3.08m
2.91m
3.06m

Official after 8 days- 3.07M incl +1.

Also, after those officials, the next few should be high because they were hitting high numbers for the Thurs, Friday (KPs entrance) and Sundays huge figure. So that 3.07m official average should climb slightly.
