If the summer series were in January & the January ones in Summer, would they be seen the same way? I think generally, the summer series simply aren't as good as the winter ones so they probably would only rate slightly higher. The january series in the summer would probably get slightly less viewers imo but overall they'd probably get around the same ratinga.

I think they're WOULD be a major difference if cbb10 aired in January. It had a very strong line up and im suprised it rated so low. It only got 2.3m, although i think if it was in January it would hit the 3m mark. Very underated series. cbb12 & 14 though I think wouldn't change as they weren't exactly the strongest series were they?

If the summer series was in January, it wouldn't work.
People usually get time off in the summer, so it's easier to be a housemate.
Plus, wouldn't that mean housemates go into hiding at Christmas.

It just wouldn't work.

I think all the summer CBB's, with the exception of CBB8 would've rated much higher if they were aired in January.

CBB10 (SUMMER) - 2.2M
CBB12 (SUMMER) - 2.3M
CBB14 (SUMMER) - 2.1M

I think if they aired in January, they would've probably averaged:

CBB10 (WINTER) - 2.9M
CBB12 (WINTER) - 2.8M
CBB14 (WINTER) - 2.9/3.0M (Due to the success of CBB13, and the decent first week)
