Great ratings!

[Rob!]

Well the lead in certainly did well for under the dome - that's a great figure for it. Second part of the final though... Under 2 mill for a winners announcement is appalling. Good job it was only Sam

Appalling??

It was after 11pm, the audience share was almost 1/5th of the viewing public avaliable, and 4/5 times above the slot average for the channel. It done great. BB's skew a fair amount of young viewers. Alot would of gone to bed.

I was worried it would bomb at 11pm, but to peak at nearly 2million at that time is very impressive.

Slight error. Part 2 actually averaged 1.74m not 1.7

[Rob!]

I meant more that it was put in a position that it was going to get under 2 mill. It did do well though - but if that's with plus one, it meant that live it was below 2 mill.

Hopefully the officials will make it look even more respectable.

Highest rated final, highest rated series. Ben Frow will be delighted, just needs to market the launch next summer, and it should beat the 2.7million it got for the first c5 series.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ok so just make it simple the BB final averaged 2.09 including plus 1.

Lets not round up and post **** loads of figures to make it look better.

Its the highest rated civilian BB in 3 years which is brilliant and all we wanted was the final to crack 2 million but don't forget BB12 final officially got 2.20 million.

What do you think the BB14 final will get officially going by the trend of this years ratings?

I still think if the final was last Friday we would have seen it reach a 2.5 average.

Bots would have also attracted well over 1 million if it were on at 10:30 pm.

Scheduling team ****ed up big time but im happy this year has had so many ratings hit above 2 million which is something we thought we would never see especially after the poor launch nights.

Not thrilled but pleased.

To be honest I didn't enjoy the final it was all to rushed but it was a brilliant series overall.

Decent rating

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Just read last years final only got 1.5m overnight?

Its up by half a million viewers.

Ben Frow must be jizzing to be fair.

[Rob!]

Officals add recordings, right?

That part 2 figure should shoot up then in that case, surely?

[Jake.]

Amazing finale figures, especially the shares!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Mad to think the final of BB14 got the same as last years CBB 10 final.

Cant wait to see the official probably will be around 2.4 million.

It could have potentially just beat it if they didn't have the hour break and kept it all as one show. I imagine quite a few people would've tuned in during the last 30ish minutes to see the winner announced.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The fact that the audience grew to 2.5 then Channel 5 cut it off for an hour is such a kick in the testicles.

I honestly think the show would have kept growing till the winner was announced.

Ben Frow mentions BB14's ratings in this press release about the channel's return to original drama:

Ben Frow, Director of Programmes Channel 5 said “Along with our new drama we’ve got other new commissions that I think keep the channel fresh and exciting. Big Brother this year has performed better than ever before and these new shows – and the many more we are also working on add texture and diversity to the schedule and will play nicely alongside the rest of the schedule”

Credit to Ben Frow. Went out his way to take on fans feedback and Im pleased he's been rewarded with great viewing figures.

[neneu10]

anything about the officials ?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Cant wait for the officials especially next weeks to see what the final got.

[ahopkins]

Are BARB taking the day off for the bank holiday? Damn if they are

The officials should be released at 2PM not 3:17PM earliest. This is a disgrace.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

They have been released but DigitalSid put them in the CBB thread, probs just a mistake.

Good ratings but thought Hazel eviction would have been slightly higher.

Mon 5th - 1.79m (not inc+1*, assume 1.89m**)

Tue 6th - 1.99m

Wed 7th - 1.76m

Thu 8th - 1.92m (not inc+1*, assume 2.02m**)

Fri 9th - 2.03m

Sat 10th - 1.36m (not inc+1*, assume 1.45m**)

Sun 11th - 1.74m

So pissed off at all the missing plus 1 figures this year.

Current series average 1.8 million and with the last few days added and the two part final should officially reach Part 1: 2.4 million - Part 2: 2.0 million

It should bump that up quite a bit.

The 4 day dip after Hazel left wont do it any favours though.

Whats annoying is that it defo would have rated at 2 million if we had all those missing plus 1 figures to add to it which had many episodes well above the 2 million mark.

When the finals officials come out then BB14 will quite comfortably be above the BB12/BB13 1.6 million average Hoping a 1.9 and 300k increase overall.

Imaging the difference a bigger launch would have made.

Thank you Ben Frow!!

Sorry, I was responding to a request which was posted in the other thread.

[DigitalSid]

Should point out that the missing +1s mean they were outside C5+1's top 10, so below the lowest in the top 10 for this week which was 123k, hence my 100k assumption. Doesn't really matter if we know them for sure just yet, C5 do and one of the paid subscribers on DS will have them when we want to compare them next year, they are only likely to be out by 20k on the assumption, unlikely to have fallen below it, so make little difference to us at the moment.

[Jake.]

Hazel's eviction is the 3rd highest so far out of the evictions, so pretty good tbf.. all round, great ratings
