If they moved it away from AI I will guarantee that it will get higher ratings
eg.BB8 went up aggainst Britains Got talent in the UK, BB averages around 2.1-2.5 million, but then when BGT finished it went back up to 3.7-3.9 million so if they change BB's slot in the US, It would proabbaly get a million more viewers or more.

I completely agree, it's bad luck for the producers but they should have known American Idol is a huge success in USA so I'm just wondering why they did this. But at the same time, Survivor is and always be more popular than Big Brother so they couldn't take the risk to put Survivor on wednesday against American Idol.

Ok I've waited to officially make up my mind about Big Brother was doing in terms of ratings until the DVR ratings came out. In the summer based on recollection Big Brother usually had all 3 editions rank in the top 10. Well the numbers are out for the first week. All 3 editions ranked in the top 20. The eviction of Joshuah/Sharon which disastrously aired against Idol was the 7th most DVRed program of the week, with a 31% increase in viewership thanks to it. That was the biggest raise of all programs. The premiere was the 9th most DVRed program of the week. It saw a 25% increase thanks to DVR. The first nomination ceremony was the 16th most DVRed program of the week. That saw a 23% ratings increase thanks to that.

Big Brother is doing much much much stronger now with those numbers.

is that it

I am suprised I think BBUSA is 100% better than BBUK

If BBUSA was on C4 I would say over 5 million would watch it

137,500 for yesterday.Its rising, but I want to know why Thursdays was really low.

I got the figure from Channel 4 Sales.

I highly doubt it. If there was more interest in BBUSA, then E4 would have kept more of the 300,000 viewers that the series launched with.

[Spike]

137,500 is better than I expected it to do

There is no way it would get 5m if it was on C4.

Yesterday:
Part 1: 154,700
Part 2: 144,400

[Spike]

Doing alot better than last Thursday. I think around 150,000 is really good for the show.

[*mazedsalv**]

Yesterday- 150,000

[*mazedsalv**]

Thursday:
Part 1: 166,400
Part 2: 124,600

Thought I should bump this with some good news.

Sunday's episode was overrun due to the golf - however this benefited it and as a result the show recieved an average of around 9million viewers. This is Big Brother 9's highest rating to date.

OMGG Are you serious? If thats true, thats amazing!
