Well that's bloody awful.

But expected.

[Oaker]

They tried

[*mazedsalv**]

Did they try though? I mean, the promo....

Was awful.

[Strictly Jake]

More than I thought

[*mazedsalv**]

At best, it's like 300k down on BB16 launch

Excl +1

Love Island: 0.55m (2.7%)

Around 700k incl. Certainly holding it's own.

Anyone else feel like Love Island is a better representation of the Big Brother we all want than the actual Big Brother is anymore? I'm far more into love island than ever before!

I've watched snippets, not my thing really, but I can see that it's captured the publics interest this time. And I can sort of see why.

[*mazedsalv**]

It's going to be a LONGGGG series.

Especially against Olympics, the Euro's etc... in fact, I can barely watch at how bad the numbers will be!

[JohnnyBB]

problem with 1.3m for launch we know veiwers dip quite a lot afterwards so is this series going to dip under 1 million ;\

[RichardG]

lol how long before they axe it? the hotel inspector is beating the launch night

I think they will be similar when +1 is added.

But still, I agree. THI is cheap af.

Well, we don't know what the +1 figure, with a 1.4m excl it will be a ~1.6m.

But your point still stands, if BB16 launched at 1.8m like it did, and then dipped to 0.9-1.0 the first weekend, then we can certainly expect that this year.

IMO, last night got 1.58m incl +1, and tonight will get 1.21m.

I didn't expect massive ratings its not an event anymore but why do we see 1.6 million basically as a disaster when its still slaying all the other reality shows barr I'm a celeb.

TOWIE gets about 500k and I think its highest was only ever 1.7 but is seen as a phenomenon and all its cast turned into stars same with Geordie Shore that gets under 1 million in overnights I believe and Love Island? 700k.

What did BOTS get? God I had to switch that off it was just all about orgies and ******* it was like an episode of EuroTrash.

The Hotel Inspector is a good show! It's a shame but you can't get too hung up on the ratings.

[TomC]

I mean it does seem like the last two really have scared people off tho

if i didn't feel this weird sense of loyalty to the show after sticking with it for 10+ years then i wouldn't have bothered checking out the launch after bb15 and 16 either tbh...

[Rob!]

Erm...I don't really know what to say to that.
I think I'm actually not going to bother following the ratings this year. Especially if it's a good series...which with that figure and the way they chased ratings last year I don't think it will be. I'm actually stunned.

[RichardG]

honestly it's dead we need a miracle guys

[TomC]

I'm really shocked too tbh
