It's hard to be positive with eviction ratings like that. No amount of sunshine and football can make a little over 1m viewers look good.

Please can we stop this ratings are poor stuff.. they're poor in your opinion. Just because they are lower than 2013 does not automatically mean they are 'poor'. The producers and C5 will be the ones who decide whether they are poor, satisfactory or good.

This, Yes it got 1.09 but to be fair everything was down a bit and the maybe a some BB viewers were watching the World cup it was also Hot yesterday so some people would of gone out, But like I said the Officials will improve the rarings

I'm glad Pauline is out and I would love to get Helen out but I think she has learnt her lesson. She is the Slug!!! Have you noticed when she got called to the diary room about her bullying she has now decided to be friends with Jale, tactical or what. Now all the sheep have decided to be nice to Jale just because Helen Pauline are being nice to her.

[smeagol]

probably like me they had no interest in paulines eviction. awful woman. and who wants to go through a live show and adverts and all that nonsence just for a few clips of other stuff.
especially when there was a game on the other site. a good one. and other things on

also bare in mind its summer most people are out not sitting at home like us sados lol

[smeagol]

people want to watch fun sneakyness like dexter or s &m dancing and sex stuff. they dont really want to watch some old hag being evil and some hoe and another clone being nasty. its just not entertaining.
the key to good viewers is sex/fun/time slots/characters.

Ive been trying to find that seeing as it flopped so hard last week.

I reckon about 250k hopefully someone can dig it out.

Yes we can judge but what we judge is our opinion. It is not fact as many people seem to try and make it out as (not aiming this at you btw, being general). For all we know the producers and C5 are happy with the ratings and see no problems... or they're having regular panic meetings trying to find a way of not losing the show.

This constant bickering between people that think ratings are poor and people that think ratings are good is quite tedious to see. It's like neither side can accept people have different views... which is inevitable on a forum.

Oh yes I know you're not talking about the show being axed. I was just being general about this forum as a whole since quite a few people are not happy with ratings lol.

Anyway I'm neutral about the ratings, I think they're steady and good, but I'm not jumping out my seat like I was for BB14's ratings. I think it'll be 50/50 whether these ratings affect the show being renewed or not.

Big Brother got 1.25 million viewers and a 6.4% share in total. That's still fairly good. Officials could bump it up to 1.5 or 1.6 but we should remember, it's hot. On Fridays people are likely to be out more, World Cup fever may have impacted that. Imagine all those viewers who decided to stay out after the game, we should also take into account that although some 4 million were watching the World Cup on TV a hell of a lot will be watching it through socialising e.g. Pubs, clubs, parties. So I'd estimate the rating closer to 5 million in fact. It does appear that Friday ratings will continue to be low, perhaps this is the new trend, nonetheless the rating is not poor it is still fair. It's above the million mark and is over Channel 5s annual 3.9% share, so is still making a healthy return profit. Stop with all the negativity. Peace out

[Kai Anders]

It also came 4th in the timeslot, it was narrowly beaten by C4.. But let's be honest, they are two very distinct audience markets. 8OOTC is more male based, BB is more female based.

Where did you get the 1.25 million viewers from? Where was that reported and if that's correct it should have come 3rd in its timeslot up against 8 out of 10 cats which got 1.18 unless that got a higher +1?

Seriously though where did you get the 1.25 from because no one can seem to find the plus 1 figures and its annoying the hell out of us lol. BB could be rating far higher than we realise and its not getting reported.

I think the main issue is that's a really bad time for the show to be getting bad ratings, when the contract renewal is up in the air and all.

The ratings are absolutely dreadful, especially for an eviction. People need to face facts - this series is in real trouble!

Yes but remember its hot, the world cup is on (lowest rated game last night and not competition), maybe people went out to the pub, its Friday night, maybe people were tired, maybe a lot of women were having babies.

Its allways been on on a Friday night and its allways been in the summer.

C'mon people face facts.

I do however think +1 will add a significant amount and bump the ratings up but then again I think an overnight rating is far more important to the channel.

Its only now really im starting to see how important the ratings are this year as we haven't heard anything of it being renewed. I thought the news would have come out by now.

[Samm]

So is 1.25 the +1 I'm confused

[daniel-lewis-1985]

With the plus 1 I think yeah but no one has posted a source as to where they got this +1 figure from.

I hope its true, even though that would still be lower than we all expected it still looks a hell of a lot better than just over a million.

Officials will be released Monday so we will finally be able to see how popular the show is online and with catchup. The figures are usually impressive and will bring a sigh of relief to those who are afraid of the show being axed.

Fingers crossed.

[irishdave]

My fear is that Channel 5 do not want the show any more - they are making very little effort to improve the ratings, especially when the contract is up for renewal. It seems as if they do not care whether or not it is a success. Getting rid of the two hours of daily live feed was a blow to the devoted hardcore fans and the housemate selection was dreadful.

They even dropped the Live From The House show after evictions even though we was told we would still get it.

[Kai Anders]

I can't find the link now but it said BB got 1.25m with +1 and 8OOTC got 1.08m without +1.. hence why it was fourth in its timeslot, as firstly +1 isn't in the same timeslot and secondly, 8OOTC got higher when you compare this show and BB without +1...

The link to the ratings website. It's much better than DS and the others. You need to sort your negativity, please just talk about ratings within the thread.

The officials had better be good
There wasn't any excuse for last night - especially when you consider that 8 out of ten cats didn't beat BB at all last year.

the excuse is that the show is nowhere near as good as the previous c5 civilian series. so the ratings are lower. they wont climb much either as the weeks draw on and the show becomes somewhat more boring.

they must be itching to get started on CBB

I'm hoping for uplifts of half a million as the first few days got 400k uplift.

[Josy]

The rating was **** for the eviction not even gonna lie but I'm thinking the weather may be a contributing reason? it's been roasting hot here, not sure if it's the same elsewhere but people may be choosing to sit out in the sun/go to garden parties instead of staying in to watch tv.

It's on at 9pm and against the football tonight too.
