Yeah, I'm not really a massive fan of these twists either. They're just dissapointing and meaningless games which are easy and are nowhere near as good as Emma makes them out to be.

Like, by the sounds of things I was expecting a war with Janice and Bobby that you "wouldn't want to miss" as promised, when in reality, they answered a few easy questions, got electric shocks, downed a nasty shot, and glued as many items to themselves as possible

But then again, CBB launch night twists have always been pointless and just something for fun, whereas in BB they matter more.

They're gonna need to replace Tila with a ratings puller...

[Jason.]

1.56m is quite bad, considering some highlights during BB14 rated higher as somebody else already mentioned. But it could be worse. TBF, I think this series will rate similar to how BB14 rated, and will probably average around 1.9m officially.

Thing is given how childish and trashy this theme is are we surprised figures are lower than usual? Everyone I've spoken to that watched the launch thought it was tacky, crap and a really unnecessary theme. Can't blame people switching off when this show is becoming more like a year 9 media project by the day. Channel 5 really need to learn that this approach does not keep people engaged, this show really needs to be simplified, firstly by getting rid of these cheesy themes.

Emma said at the end of last nights show to tune in tommorow at 10.30.

[armand.kay]

People on my Twitter feed didn't even know it was on lol

[armand.kay]

They thought it wasn't on today and I had to inform them.

[MB.]

Is anyone actually expecting above 1 million tonight

[Rob!]

Nope. Shame cause it was a really good episode.

Brilliant episode.

[Jason.]

They should've aired the highlights at 9.30 after X Factor and put the CBB Best Bits at 10.30 instead.

A disaster of just 910k last night

They couldn't, that's when the Football League Show was on.

I'm surprised it was that high.

[Will.]

Not good, last years first Saturday got 1.2M with +1, so it's probs about 150k down on last years.

Hopefully tonight will do well!

I'm really enjoying it so far.

[Blog Rider]

They need to get rid of the Summer CBB and cut the normal series to just the summer holidays, Then stop medding with silly twists and have full live feed. If that doesn't work get rid of Big Brother all together.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Literally what BB16 was getting that is unacceptable for CBB.

Terrible and a shame seeing as it was such a brilliant episode.

[RichardG]

If it carries on in the pattern it's going and does even worse next year surely there's no chance the contract will get renewed? These figures are appealing for CBB, summer season or not. With all the money they pay to get the celebs i'll bet they expect more in return than 910k...

Pretty much this.

By the look of things, BB14 is currently rating higher than this series. I mean you know there's something wrong when a civilian series two years ago is getting more ratings than a celebrity version which usually rates considerably higher than BB regardless.

[LukeB]

what was the ratings?

[Will.]

What are we thinking for tonight?

It seems this series is 150/200k down on last year.

So last years first Sunday got 1.9.

So I'm guessing 1.7

I'll be optimistic and say 1.8m including +1.

[Rob!]

Urgh God.

Well - 10:30pm is the latest BB has ever gone out. It's also a bank holiday weekend. It's on at 10:30 every Saturday so as people get used to that, Saturdays may go up.
I'm not defending it, that's with +1 after all and it's the lowest CBB rating ever. Let's not panic TOO much yet though.

It's weird because January cbb does so well

[mrmattybeck1]

They should just carry on with cbb January and rest the summer versions for a while
