If the final beats the launch in the officials that will be the first time the final has outrated the launch since BB7, ten years ago.

I thought BB14 did that but never mind.

Didn't BB14's launch get 2.35m and its final get 2.20m?

CBB13 did that, but BB17 will be the first civilian series since BB7.

[*mazedsalv**]

Yep.

Would be the first time since BB7 for a civilian series. I'm hoping, but finals never really add more than 200k tbh so we are probably more looking at 1.7m.

CBB13 final outrated CBB13 launch though with 3.71m vs 3.69m.

I doubt it will beat it. Finals aren't an event anymore and the winners are very rarely relevant.

[*mazedsalv**]

Just to note, the last 2 officials for the FINAL were...

BB15 final- 1.76m
BB16 final- 1.37m exc +1 (most likely 1.4m including)

Last year did dreadfully. This year looks to be between 1.7-1.8m. I wonder if it will beat BB15s 1.76m. It's certainly doable.

BB15 had a mouthy bitch (queen) winning over the sweet girl she'd 'bullied' all series though so people were more likely to catch up on that final than they would with this one. I know Hughie was expected to win but Jason winning wasn't really as much of a shock as Helen.

The final week of officials are in (the last two episodes including the final aren't until next week, however)
Overnights are in brackets

M - 1.62m (1.20) +420k
T - 1.69m (1.20) +490k
W - 1.56m (1.20) +360k
T - 1.80m (1.35) +450k
F - 1.42m (1.10) +310k
S - 1.20m (820k) +380k
S - 1.67m (1.20) +470k

Avg - 1.57m

Those time shifts of nearly 500k are Incredible!
If the final highlights (1.3m) does anything near that, say 400k then that'll be 1.7m which will bring the official average up with the final (I predict around 1.7-8m) rating to hopefully 1.58-1.6m which would make it higher than Powertrip.

Wow thanks

That's a huge rating for Sponge gate haha.

I see that your tweet got a reply from Jayne saying 'haha how funny'

Legend.

We are SO close to beating BB15! It's already beaten 12 and 16!

[Cal.]

If this series doesn't beat BB15 I'll be fumed.

Don't think it will to be fair. It will be equal at 1.57m with it. But we will put it ahead anyway because it's far, far, far superior in every way possible.

Which is just a TV tragedy.

[Jason.]

Whether it beats BB15 or not, it'll still average the same when rounded (1.6m) and I'm happy with that because instead of decreasing further from BB16 like we all thought 3 months ago, it's climbed back to 1.6m - which is decent for C5.

I want it to beat BB15 so bad so Helen seethes.

True.

Either way the 1.6m will be what is mentioned when future series come on.

1.6m, 1.6m, 1.9m, 1.6m, 1.4m, 1.6m.

[supertv247]

BBSpy claims that BB17 has fell behind Powertrip by about 7,000 viewers. So when the final and semi final ratings are added on that'll both definitely be over 1.6m I'm positively sure that this series will overtake Powertrip
But yeah it'll be 1.6 no matter what now

[Samm]

oh wow this series did that, C5 stays stupid for ending it early

However as of now, BB17 was so much more superior than CBB. BB17 deserved better numbers and be up there with BB14.

[*mazedsalv**]

Last 2 officials:

Monday- 1.69m
Final- 1.79m

Only 70k down on launch which got 1.86m.

Beat BB16 final which got 1.37m. BB15 final got 1.73m, so beat that too!!

I don't know how that works out with the official average and whether it stays at 1.57m or not.

[Rob!]

Fully deserved

[*mazedsalv**]

Just worked it out via calculator....

BB17 officially averaged 1.58M.

This puts it AHEAD of BB15, JUST.

BB12- 1.55m
BB13- 1.60m
BB14- 1.90m
BB15- 1.57m
BB16- 1.36m

BB17- 1.58m

Looking back BB17 was such a brilliant series, some great housemates and so much happened from the house flooding to annihilation week.

And annihilation week was good, I loved the eviction chamber.

I think it's my favourite Channel 5 series that I've watched, I have only seen bits of BB13.

There were less twists and it overall was enjoyable to watch, I'm glad it ended on a high rather than having another 3 weeks and going stale.

I'm started to miss BB17 <3

It deserved the good ratings it got.

[azi]

Well deserved

[Samm]

Deserved!
