Pete Burns is trending.

Shows that ratings dont affect Twitter seeing as ****ing noboy watches BBBOTS

Black Dagger · 22-08-2011, 10:39 PM

I'm guessing 2.1million.

Hoping for more though <3.

Channel 5 should not be used as an excuse. The excellent launch ratings proved people didn't give a damn what channel it was on. Channel 5 isin't hard to find. It should be compared directly against how it done in it's final few years on Channel 4 and this drop is incredibly dissapointing. Simple as.

I'm terrified of what the main show is going to get now. The launch is just going to feel like another highlights show. I doubt another six million will tune in to see normal people go in to the show they stopped watching after a few nights.

this(though not terrified..slightly concerned maybe)

CBB gets more viewers than normal BB so this is really the best the ratings will get. And theyre slipping. I know many who, like myself, are just not gripped and in danger of drifting away.

I think for the mainstream the lack of real "celebrities" turned them off after friday, and for us the new format soured our taste.

One of the two issues may need to be addressed soon should ratings fall further.

There's nothing wrong with the celebrities for God's sake - people need to realize this isn't ******ing America.

We live in a county were people like Kerry, Jedward and Amy are considered A-Lister because they're always on the tabloids and shows like Big Brother [reality shows] made them famous.

What the ****** were you all expecting?

It's a great line up for CBB.

Previous versions managed to get Vinni Jones, Bridet Nelson among others. Tara Reid had not been in a film in 10 years.

The cast isn't that bad compared to previous years but it was the hype that ruined it. Channel 5 and Endemol continued to push rumours of big names they new they were not going to get. The public feel ripped off.

Tare has been in 18 movies in the last 10 years, was a regular on Scrubs for 2 years and is friends with the A list in Hollywood.

Stop chatting ****

Vinnie Jones and Brigitte Nelson are not even remotely as famous as Tara Reid is. I am from America and I never even heard of Vinnie Jones until CBB. He is HARDLY famous over here. And Brigitte Nelson is a total Z-lister as well.

The show airs in the UK though. Jones is a much bigger name than Tara Reid over here.

yes you are

which is exactly what makes your first sentence so irrelevant here.

Vinnie is a superstar here...of football and film fame. Even Brigitte is far more well known than Tara here, albeit for low class reasons.

Even in America I think Tara is the poor mans Lindsay Lohan.

utter bollocks and your blinding ignorance bugs the crap out of me at times.

If these are A-list then what the fck are the likes of Beckham, Elton, Cowell, George Michael, Paul McCartney...or even Cheryl Cole?

they are tabloid/reality show z-listers. Some of them are barely even known to anybody outside their own family. In celeb terms they are the low class element. Celebs who haven't got a stable successful job....or just crave extra fame.

2.28m

daniel-lewis-1985 · 23-08-2011, 09:46 AM

I was hoping the ratings would be closer 3m again but thinking about before BB started on 5 we all thought that it would only get about 1.5 per episode its exceeding our expectations.

Agreed.

Bit on the side 696,000

daniel-lewis-1985 · 23-08-2011, 12:37 PM

Channel 5 still raping Channel 4 in the ratings

Overall, BBC One led primetime with 24.5% against ITV1's 17.8% (+1: 0.4%). Channel 5 scooped third place with 6.6%, followed by BBC Two's 6.3% and Channel 4's 4.2% (+1: 0.6%).

daniel-lewis-1985 · 23-08-2011, 01:19 PM

Im looking forward to seeing officials

daniel-lewis-1985 · 23-08-2011, 01:24 PM

Officials take into account 5 on demand and the repeats from the next day right?

Think the 10pm slot is affecting it

Normally officials are about 300k-400k up on the overnight so we are looking at around 2.6m/2,7m which is pretty much identical to what most of BB11 was getting, and around 300k higher than BB10 was getting.

However there have been days where the overnights increase by around half a million, mostly on Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. I'm sure a BB11 episode timeshifted around 700k last year.
