Can someone please sticky this please

Launch: 2.6

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Last night: 1.4 million/

Million pound drop beat Big Brother with 1.6 million :/

[12bigbrother12]

The percentage (6.4%) is the most worrying thing about last night. It didn't ever drop below 8% in CBB, and for a first highlight show where ratings are usually above average for the slot makes me concerned that BB will be cancelled again.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I have faith it will be back to the 2 million mark tonight

As long as the series averages over 2 million im happy.

Endemol UK have added BB back to their show list on their site, they deleted it afer C4BB ended and it wasn't added back during CBB. They call C5BB a hit on their Initial page, must have been added before yesterday

Not bad, considering the awkward time and since it's the episode after the launch.

Most shows on before it finish half way through it tonight so 1.8 tonight 2 tomorrow.

Things will be very very different this series in terms of how we judge the popularity of the show based on ratings. It's airing in the fall which has never happened before with any other series, and it's directly following a Celebrity Big Brother that's already been on for 3 weeks. Not to mention this is also the first time there is literally no form of live feed. So we just have to keep that in mind.

1.4 million might not be a good rating, but it's a Saturday which usually rates low for BB.

I think tonight will get 2.0m.

TBH dont the weekend highlights normally have low ratings anyway?

Yep, esp Saturday highlights which are more or less a repeat of the live show the night before.

Thats such a misconception.

Evictions are only covered for about 2 minutes in the Saturday highlights the rest is everything what happened in the day and what happened after the eviction.

I'm hoping for 1.8m tonight I'm expecting about 1.5/6 though.

Agreed

[RichardG]

I'm thinking the 9/11 documentaries on C4 might have overtook Big Brother tonight. By friday we should have a general idea of what the average rating will be for a weekday episode, for now anyway. I think the weekends will always be quite bad this series.

[Mystic Mock]

Lets hope the good reviews will boost the ratings.

[happybbfan]

1.45 million last nights ratings peaking at 1.77 million

[12bigbrother12]

Awful ratings. BB is going to get cancelled again.

Duh.... but don't count it out yet, I definitely see it hitting 2m a fair few times over the course of 9 weeks...

I just think it isn't hyped enough and I think this series will be the 'tryout' and they'll go all out next year (I hope)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Wow. Thats cack.

[Omah]

Ooops - those dismal ratings will cause concern in the boardroom today .....

[DigitalSid]

BB was never going to get 2 million last night, ITV and Channel 4's shows had started before it and didn't finish till halfway through it, it should have been on after X Factor at 9. 1.45m is though.
