900,000 viewers for last nights show and its only week 2. I'm quite enjoying watching Channel 5 make a pigs ear of this

JeanP! · 18-09-2011, 09:40 AM

This is so sad

I think that's a real shame - I'm enjoying this year more than the last few years and think they are doing a better job than Ch4 did for a long while.

Timeslots may not be the best, that's the problem.

Don't care about Big Brother or don't care about Channel 5's incompetence leading to such ratings?

At the end of the day, the sun goes down.

BB always does badly on Saturdays, It'd be more revealing if we knew the ratings for the rest of C5's programs so we could see what the number means in context.

CharlieO · 18-09-2011, 10:00 AM

Yea it was expected.

Callum · 18-09-2011, 10:00 AM

Just terrible and very sad. Not looking good for the future of Big Brother is it?

The first one.

You can come up with all the excuses you want but if the word Big Brother is attatched and it doesn't have the draw of some niche ****otard celebritys like how the likes of Jedward and Amy Childs or whatever made up for the Celebrity numbers then it's going to bomb. And I don't think a format change will do anything good. Honestly Big Brother is dead. Simple as. At least as being a big show.

Agreed, I would like to see that too.

I think your post is more linked than you actually realise. Its lack of changes which have turned viewers away and killed BB. The main problem is that its come back too soon, it hadn't even been gone a year! Literally everything that Channel 5 shouldn't have done, they have done, and everything they should have done they haven't. Its their own fault for such a spectacular failing. If they left it a bit, maybe 2 or 3 years then BB could have came back quite strong but Channel 5 have just buried it after Channel 4 killed it.

Predicted this straight away last night when I found out it wasn't on til 10:15pm. It was to be expected, and it really is disappointing but there you go.

We are enjoying Big Brother more than ever this time, all the innovations are good.

The editing is better than ever it was and we have to keep rewinding to see little background reactions. Last night, Mark mimicking Aden and Rebeckah hugging was a scream; Heaven massaging any eviction possibilities out of Tashie; Alex's face when Aaron asked her to go away. All gems.

The editors are managing to tell a few good stories without narration.

We absolutely loved, at Nominations, how Faye went in all prepared for blubbering with toilet paper. And she was the one who had talked all tough beforehand!

And it's always fun to see the trouble-makers cowering in the diary room like Jay did last night when being told off for the mattress going in the pool. "It was everybody else's fault." This so mirrors real life.

Just wish we could get Five Star on Freesat.

It's hard to understand why people would post on here such negative doom-laden comments as above, maybe they are Channel 4 employees?

The selection of housemates has been very good (not quite excellent) and having so many singles clearly leads to more spice.

Well done Channel 5.

Stu · 18-09-2011, 10:31 AM

Speak for yourself, chico.

And yeah all those points are true Tom.

Maybe you're a Channel 5 employee with that post

It would maybe mirror real life if the mirror was a plank of wood.

Big Brother only pulled in 900,000 viewers last night there is just no way you can get anything positive out of that.

I never ever thought i would see BB drop below 1 million its such a shame to see it failing so hard because the show is the best one in years imo.

Channel 5 ****ed themselves and the fans in the arse by axing Live Feed and putting it on straight after CBB.

Channel 5 seem to think that they bought an audience as well as a show, well when you treat the audiences like dirt and ram "changes" down their throats it's to be expected that they will turn away from you, but hey, Desmond has deep pockets, what the hell does he care as long as he can milk made-up sensations for his downmarket press empire.

All great points especially the one involving Jay.
