If the average is lower than CBB6 (3m overnights, 3.3m officials) then we can conclude that CBB7 is a flop. It launched with a much bigger audience and has had more media coverage today, with the same amount of streaming but with more internet updates. And this is the first time it has launched on a Sunday so its not as though people will be out tonight and tomorrow etc, so it could build throughout the week. But it has dodgy slots (10-11.10) which could drag overnight figures down a bit.

Salv, how do u know it got 6.3m? DS says 5.9m?

Inside BB, they have taken +1 into account. On +1 400,000 people watched, so that brings it to 6.3m. DS is C4 only.

I have no idea when Channl 4 overnights section will be updated though, its been since December 22nd!!

I think they could drag it down quite a lot sadly
10pm shows on C4 never do well.

Thanks .

Just checked, it says 6.2m which is still great though.

I think tonight will go down to around 3.5m. 10pm is quite late!

Nope it says 6.3m on IBB.

EDIT- Sorry been updated its 6.19m... 6.2m!! Brilliant

[Smithy]

well done cbb there will be the traditioal drop in ratings tonite but hopefully it will maintain a 3.5 mill average

[Arneldo]

I was expecting just over half this figure, didn't expect it. But I suppose the real challange will be keeping them watching for 4 weeks.

[Gavin]

I don't believe these ratings. How can CBB all of a sudden get 6.2m when the last series finished with just 3m?

Doesn't seem right! There's something wrong with the ratings.

[Stephanie]

wow.

[Brad.]

Excellent ratings, I hope we can get a series average of 4m. Vinnie majorly contributed to these!

Well if ratings continue to be better than expected then maybe they should consider changing the slot to 9PM for next week.

[JohnnyBB]

OHHH Amaziiiiinnnngggggg!!!
Last year the opening show, which aired Friday, January 2, 2008, was seen by 5.27m (21.8%) across the same timeslot.

[Marc]

tis good!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im so wet!

[*mazedsalv**]

[Callum]

Wow! Great ratings, didn't expect them to be that high.

[Lewis.]

Wow. That's incredible... I only thought it would get about 3/4m.. I bet the producers had an orgasm when they heard that! Well done Big Brother

I bet Shirley was sitting there thinking, "Ohh yeah, I'm a legend"

[LaLaLand]

Excellent! Good on them, BB deserves these numbers!

[rhombus92]

[Firewire]

Wow!

[Stu]

Anyone found Gavin's suicide note yet?

tbh its already been axed so i'll only class it as a flop if it is boring, so if it has low ratings bts entertaining i dont think id mind as much as i did last year

[Wildcat!]

That is amazing. Well done. I am bumbbed I missed the launch.
