True, but to get a 3m average we need to be getting around 2.6m nightly for overnights.

I'll ask Vicky to Sticky

2.9m brilliant =) but i wouldnt expext tonight to be that high unoffically as its on from 10-11.15pm and will most likely finish like 7 mins early lol

[snukey123]

hmmmmm or maybe because of the terrible weather, well it is here, people may wanna snuggle up in front of the TV, hence more viewers for BB =)

[President]

What is Salv's prediction for tonight? Could it get 2.9m again?

Unlikely, not only is it starting at 10pm (9pm seems to be the best slot for BB proven in the last few series) but its scheduled until 11:15pm, which means it will finish around 8 minutes early which is pointless and stupid.

I have no idea, I guess anything above 2.6m would be great, if it did get 2.9m again i will be shocked, but it could happen, all those people watching last night could come back for all the Sunshine scandal that happened.

Its such a shame that in the next 2 weeks we wont be seieng many 9pm slots.

[*mazedsalv**]

2.4m last night, knew it would be down because of the 10pm-11:15pm slot.
The 2.4m is equivelent to last weeks Thursday.

Edquivelent BB10 episode- 1.9m

['Conor]

someone should make a thread posting the times for bb cause i always think its on at 9 when its on at 10 or thinking its on at 10 and missing it at 9

[snukey123]

[snukey123]

Hardly, BB9 and CBB6 were great it was CBB5 and BB8 that brought Big Brother down.

CBB5 was bollocks, people switched off, BB8 was utter crap so more people turned off, BB:CH didn't take off even more people switched off.

It all goes back to CBB5.

BB9 and CBB6 weren't the blame for BB10s ratings at all, if anything the ratings should of went up.
Because the majority of people think BB9 was better than BB8.

But you cant deny that there was a bigger drop in ratings between BB9 and BB10 that there was between BB8 and BB9.
If BB9 was this great series that you keep going on about then why would so many people choose not to watch the next series.

Agree here, it actually all started when Nikki was put in and that was the last time people would vote largley in evictions, and then came CBB5 which before the race row was the least watched CBB at that moment and then the race row made ratings pick up, and after Jade was evicted, the ratings plummeted for the first time towards the end of a series (it was obvious the 5m+ that were turning in were only for the race row), the CBB5 final was watched by 6m, the least watched at the time.

Then came BB8 launch, all girls, which was another nail in the coffin and people called BB8 generally the 2nd worst BB (after BB4) and ratings went from 4.7m official for BB7 to 3.9m official for BB8 (drop off 800k). BB9 was actually the series that restored peoples faith in the series. But disagree with you Patrick on the CBB6 is not to blame because LF was axed for CBB6 and there was negative air all around the forum and this carried onto CBB6 and BB10.

That is true, BUT inevitable as BB10 was the ONLY series that ONLY had overnight feed (CBB6 and CBB7 had afternoon feed but not 24/7).

Tbh less people watched BB11 Launch than BB10 Launch but BB11 has maanged to hold onto much more audience than BB10 ever did from the launches.

However, CBB7 in January did brilliantly despite not having 24/7 LF and I think that if it did, it would have acchieved a 4m+ official average (the highest since CBB5, however it did magnage to get 3.7m official which was highest since BB8.

I think he means excluding the race row.

But it still rated high

[*mazedsalv**]

True but I think its just when you exclude the 4 days (which is quite short because i thought it went on longer!) then it was lower. BUT IMO it all started with Nikki going back inm, the race row AND BB8 Launch.

BB8's first HL show was the first HL shwo to go under 4m for the first time in a long time... i think BB producers even realised the all female thing was wrong.

The producers constantly say the 2 things they have done wrong in the whole series was Nikki re enterting and the All Female Launch.

Anyways, back on BB11 Ratings, im starting to think, could BB be harmed? Uruguay VS Ghana Quarters tonight (may not be the biggest match but still) and if one of them wins then it will finish at around 9:20pm BUt if it goes into extra time and then penatlies it wont finish until 10pm... however its lucky with have +1.

That Weds rating of 2.9m (2.92m to be precise so more towards being rounded to 3m) gives us hope for when the world cup ends, I hope when it ends we are given loads of 9pm slots as we can do well.

[*mazedsalv**]

Apparently the whole slot average 10pm-11:15pm was 2.4m, so this means the time it was actually on, it got around 2.5m most certainly excluding the early finish, which is better news

[tmx]

It got 2.349m inc +1

and that's tape checked

[President]

Poor rating once again. Under Salv's 'good' prediction of 2.6m:
