**The Official CBB9 Ratings Thread**

[*mazedsalv**]

Have we done one of these?

Here's the official thread and please mods can we sticky like this, like every year :)

So only 2 days from the CBB launch, what do you think it will get?

[King Gizzard]

Just wouldn't be the same without a Salv ratings thread!

[Omah]

1.7

[*mazedsalv**]

Just wouldn't be the same without a Salv ratings thread!

Of course :p

And Omah, really? Lower than the BB12 final which got 2.1m?
I reckon 4.4m.

[Jake.]

4.9

[Omah]

Of course :p

And Omah, really? Lower than the BB12 final which got 2.1m?
I reckon 4.4m.

Well, somewhere in between then ..... ;)

But I really wouldn't be surprised if the average audience falls below 2m ..... :idc:

[Roy Mars III]

3.5 million, and I think that's being generous.

[*mazedsalv**]

Lets not forget that the last CBB got 5.1m.

[Omah]

Lets not forget that the last CBB got 5.1m.

Then promptly lost 2m the following night ..... :shocked:

[Black Dagger]

I'm going with a 3.1m launch, give or take a few hundred thousand.

[*mazedsalv**]

Then promptly lost 2m the following night ..... :shocked:

True, but it happens every single time. BB5 lost around 2.5m+ from launch to the first show.
People always are curious who goes in, especially Celebrity series'

[Locke.]

Above 2 million and less than 3

[daniel-lewis-1985]

About 4.5 million.

Remember last year people thought launch wouldnt even hit 2 million and then the next day ratings come out as 5.1!

Channel 5 are failing hard at the moment. Look at last nights viewing figures:

The Hotel Inspector from 7pm, which had 428k (1.6%). The Greatest Ever Carry On Films entertained 610k (2.2%) from 8pm, and 1.11m (4.9%) saw the film Hitch.

Channel 5 have had the lowest share of the audience of all terestrial channels pretty much everyday since BB ended.

[BB IS ALIVE]

3.5 - 4.5, advertising has been good, a solid press interest, not much else on on Thursday night, it will do ok.

[JohnnyBB]

i say break even with 5.0 million inc 5+1 raitings too.

[Black Dagger]

With the advertising that has happened I'l now change my prediction to 3.9million.

[Me. I Am Salman]

2.5 million or 3.5 million viewers - launch night
2.1 million - series average

[Jack_]

3.7m for the launch, not sure whether that's too ambitious though...hope not.

[DigitalSid]

4

[*mazedsalv**]

4 people DS? :D

[Black Dagger]

4 people DS? :D

I can see 40 people tweeting about Big Brother just now, so unless they get riddled with diseases I don't think it'll be that low ;)

[DigitalSid]

4 people DS? :D

Yes


























I meant 4 million, obviously Salv.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

BB doesnt really have that much competition tonight apart from AB FAB which doesnt start till 10:35.

I still the think the launch should only be an hour and a half as people will switch off as it gets later.

[JohnnyBB]

un-officals have last nights raitings as 5.08 million!!!!

[Loukas]

Wasn't that for last year?
According to unofficial overnight figures on 18 August 2011 'Celebrity Big Brother: Launch' delivered an average audience of 5.08 million, the fourth most watched show behind two football games and a showing of the film 'Independence Day'.

[SillyTilly]

Wasn't that for last year?
Got to be since yesterdays overnights have been delayed until this evening.

[DigitalSid]

Got to be since yesterdays overnights have been delayed until this evening.

This. 5:30 at the earliest apparently.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

FFS!!!!

5:30?!?!

Is it sad that im nervous lol

[Black Dagger]

FFS!!!!

5:30?!?!

Is it sad that im nervous lol

A little bit, as long as they are over 3.7 million I'l be happy.

[DigitalSid]

FFS!!!!

5:30?!?!

Is it sad that im nervous lol

I am a bit. Hope it did over 4 million.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I am a bit. Hope it did over 4 million.

I dreamt about it lol

Yeah i reckon it will get over 4 million anyway....Hopefully im not being to cocky

[DigitalSid]

FFS!!!!

5:30?!?!

Is it sad that im nervous lol

pm btw not am

[Black Dagger]

I dreamt about it lol

Yeah i reckon it will get over 4 million anyway....Hopefully im not being to cocky

It did seem like it was very busy, Twitter and Facebook went mental last night, so I doubt they'll be worrying.

[Loukas]

Predict 4.7m

[Beastie]

I dreamt last night they only got 1.1 million viewers. Hope I am wrong. lol

[The_Big_Send_Off]

I predict around 5m hope it gets more then that tho :)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Look at us predicting 5 million when for last years we were predicting like 3m

[Black Dagger]

Look at us predicting 5 million when for last years we were predicting like 3m

I know, I'm still in shock that 8m watched the Launch last year at one point, it was heavily promoted so it deserves decent ratings.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

3 hours and 49 minutes till we find out if our show is a hit or miss!

[Black Dagger]

3 hours and 49 minutes till we find out if our show is a hit or miss!

I think it will have been a hit, surely it can't have got less than 3.5m?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I think it will have been a hit, surely it can't have got less than 3.5m?

Find out in 3 hours

What are the chances of ratings being delayed on the most important day for Cbb lol

[Jake.]

It was being talked about far too much to get anything less than 3.5 million.... I hope.

[seanraff07]

It will get around the 5 million region I think.

[mitch6690r]

3m is my bet. Might peak at 5m, but no higher. The show dragged on way too long.

[SSL2012]

Their definately seems a bigger buzz about this series then the last. And yet that still achieved a peak of 5.8mil.

Alot more people appear to be talking about it, that perhaps had no intrest or awareness of the last one.

[Pronshi]

While we all wait (I kno you are) for CBB I thought it was worth saying the consolidated fig for 2011's CBB launch ws C5's 3rd biggest show
1 hour ago Favorite Retweet Reply

So doesn't that mean its better ratings than August, but not as good as others?

[g17m]

well that says 2011

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The overnights have been released, they'll be posted soon (via rzt).

Not long now, We will either be celebrating or feeling very dissapointed.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Celebrity Big Brother 2012 launched with 3.54m/16.6% between 9pm and 11pm, peaking at 4.34m/19.6% at 10pm. (via Dancc on The Ratings Thread).

:(

[Black Dagger]

=(. It's decent I suppose, wanted at least a few more hundred thousand =(.

:bawling:

...and they're gonna be even lower tonight!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Thats including plus 1 aswell.

I wanted it to be over 4 million

Compare that to last years and its dissapointing. Compare it to what CH5 are getting without CBB (800k) and its pretty good.

[JohnnyBB]

i was so not expecting that ****ing awfull 3.5 million should be axed now i dread to think how many the highlight show will get :/

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Compare that to last years and its dissapointing. Compare it to what CH5 are getting without CBB (800k) and its pretty good.

Peaking at 4.34 gets me when last year peaked at 8 million at one point.

[DigitalSid]

Proof that twitter and facebook don't mean anything.

[DigitalSid]

Peaking at 4.34 gets me when last year peaked at 8 million at one point.

That was the reach not the peak.

[Lostie!]

i was so not expecting that ****ing awfull 3.5 million should be axed now i dread to think how many the highlight show will get :/

Seriously? You think it should be axed because it got lower ratings than you wanted? What kind of fan are you?

Why do you people even care about the ratings? Just enjoy the show!

Besides, those ratings are hardly abysmal. Higher than BB12 got.

God almighty. It's like an Emos Anonymous meeting.

[Doogle]

So much better than last year too. :(

[JohnnyBB]

it didnt peak at 4m it peaked at 3.8m!!!!!!!

[Stu]

It's just another show now. I mean that in a kind of consoling way. It's not a major television event. Why expect it to get major television event ratings?

Also confirms my scepticism towards the whole "we need more advertising!" thing. Most people tend to know a new BB is starting. Advertising doesn't help a damn, for the most part.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

it didnt peak at 4m it peaked at 3.8m!!!!!!!

It peaked at 4.34m at 10pm

[Me. I Am Salman]

Dissapointing. I expected 6 million because it was the talk of the town today.

[Jords]

I was sorting thinking 5m with how much it was talked about on Twitter AND FB.

[JohnnyBB]

It peaked at 4.34m at 10pm

well everyone was saying 3.8 now there saying 4.4 somthing dodgey going on.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

well everyone was saying 3.8 now there saying 4.4 somthing dodgey going on.

Whos everyone?

You're the only person ive heard saying that.

Excluding +1, it averaged 3.46m.

[Samuel.]

The Twitter and Facebook buzz might indicate that at least the viewing figures won't drop from launch as much. More people might stick with it.

[RichardG]

Whos everyone?

You're the only person ive heard saying that.

Excluding +1, it averaged 3.46m.

I know Digital Spy tweeted a peak of 3.8m.

https://twitter.com/#!/dsrealitybites/status/155335638131015680

Don't know of anyone else who did though.

[Jake.]

Proof that twitter and facebook don't mean anything.

Very true. Even still, the audience share (the most important aspect) was VERY good considering.

[JohnnyBB]

Whos everyone?

You're the only person ive heard saying that.

Excluding +1, it averaged 3.46m.

edward g said it peaked at 3.8 but obv not to go from 5.1 to 3.5 somthings up for sure.

[Stu]

BB attracts a young audience and one that is very likely to talk about things online. That easily explains the buzz online.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I can see the series averaging about 2.1 million.

It would be amazing if it improved week on week though.

[Omah]

It got twice as much as I predicted ..... ;)

I'll predict an average audience of 800k ..... :laugh2:

[Maia]

Proof that twitter and facebook don't mean anything.

Absolute proof if that's the result.

I am genuinely shocked though, after all the hype last night, I was expecting at least 5m.

[g17m]

i'll be honest i was hoping for something spectacular like 8.5m but the result isnt that bad, its got enough people interested and should be a good series

[Locke.]

More than I thought it would get

[JohnnyBB]

if anythink should send shock waves up the producers ass and channel 5 theyll be scratching there heads thinking about how they can improve so a good result for all really :)

[Jake.]

if anythink should send shock waves up the producers ass and channel 5 theyll be scratching there heads thinking about how they can improve so a good result for all really :)

Well it's 3 million + more than what 5 would normally be getting, they SHOULD be chuffed

[*mazedsalv**]

Damn, I expected over 4m!
I hope it doesn't drop too much.

[g17m]

if they get tonights and tomorrows shows off well, i.e. not repeating everything we've already seen for 30 minutes of the shows then it should keep viewers interested, in the last series i never watched the episode after launch because the celeb one was purely an edited version of the launch

[BB IS ALIVE]

maybe if we are very lucky it can get 4 million in the officials?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its getting praise all over twitter for that

UPDATE: New report saying Celebrity Big Brother in fact peaked at 4.4 million - an amazing figure

danwoottonDan Wootton

Celebrity Big Brother peaked with 4.4 million viewers, according to overnights.That's huge for Channel 5. Twitter reaction was overwhelming

Celeb Big Brother ratings during transmission 9pm-9:30pm: 3.1m, 9:30pm-10pm: 3.38m, 10pm-10:30pm: 3.83m, 10:30pm-11pm: 3.68m#cbb

Confused

[Jake.]

Good that the figures rised (until 10:30)

[daniel-lewis-1985]

1.08m for BOTS.

[Jake.]

1.08m for BOTS.
XD

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Bots did great

[seanraff07]

Not bad. BOTS almost got a third the amount of viewers as the main show did which is impressive.

[Jake.]

Bots did great

I know, didn't think it would so it's a bit of a suprise

[Black Dagger]

Bots did great

It did, doesn't it get like 400k most nights?

[Jake.]

It did, doesn't it get like 400k most nights?

Around that, sometimes worse if it's on 5*

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Bots allways does better than Xtra factor though aswell doesnt it?

[Jake.]

Bots allways does better than Xtra factor though aswell doesnt it?

Sometimes and sometimes not, it all depends. Last night CBB beat CH4 and BBC2. So it's not all bad

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Overall, ITV1 led primetime with 21.9% (+1: 0.9%) against BBC One's 20.4%. Channel 5 soared to third place with 9%, beating Channel 4's 6.5% (+1: 0.8%) and BBC Two's 5.3%.

So Channel 5 came in 3rd place which is good for them and Bots won its time slot with 10.4%

And the day before, CH5 got 3%

[Samuel.]

Over a million people watched 3 hours of Big Brother content last night. Not bad.

[Beastie]

I am not surprised about the ratings. I don't care about the ratings. I will always watch BB. But it seems to be targeted a young audience. They put more younger and stupid people in there who can't string a sentence together so the oldies can't be bothered to watch anymore.

Live Feed is a big thing too. It doesn't cost much. Just give us back 24 7 live feed if they want higher ratings. They obviously want to quickly do BB13 and want it all to end.

[Mystic Mock]

Im happy with that considering the last two series have been terrible and has clearly lost them some viewers.

Yes, they want their highest rating program to end. Stop being stupid :)

[Me. I Am Salman]

Wow BOTS did better than any spinoff as far as I know!!! :D

[RichardG]

Across the two-hour Celebrity Big Brother launch last night a whopping 6.9 million tuned in at any one time - that's whopping

https://twitter.com/#!/Ed_StarOnSunday/status/155350837839933441

[Jake.]

Great stuff

[daniel-lewis-1985]

https://twitter.com/#!/Ed_StarOnSunday/status/155350837839933441

What does that mean though it peaked at 6.9?

[Jake.]

Yeah I think so. Although I thought it peaked at 4.5 or whatever it was

[Samuel.]

At any one time suggests that it always had at least 6.9m watching :suspect:

[Black Dagger]

What does that mean though it peaked at 6.9?

It had a reach of 6.9m, so they will have all watched for at least 3 minutes.

[Samuel.]

Oh.

Badly worded tbh.

[Jake.]

Still pretty good. I'm quite happy with last nights ratings tbh, and the share was good enough

[Jack_]

Pretty disappointing really considering the hype online, but I do guess this is proof that it means nothing. It's good for C5 though.

I predicted 3.7m, wasn't that far off.

What does that mean though it peaked at 6.9?

No, 6.9m is the reach. Basically it means every single viewer that watched in total, regardless of how long for. For example a lot of people will tune in for half an hour or so, then switch off. As a random example, say 2m tuned in between 9:00 and 10:00, and a different 1m tuned in between 10:00 and 11:00, the total reach would be 3m.

Ah, cheers

[*mazedsalv**]

Predictions for tonight? What was promising is that it went from 3.1m and peaked at 4.4m at 10pm, ended with around 3.7m.

So it grew generally throughout the show. Which indicates people were talking and some people tuned in later on from word of mouth.

[Jake.]

I'm going to be optimistic and guess 2.9. Hope I'm proved wrong and more than that tune in

[Doogle]

1.5-2m

[Mystic Mock]

I predict 2.4 million.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I think it will be roughly 2.01 million :)

[Jake.]

Had a look and the competition doesn't look too bad, think we will beat CH4 and BBC2 again

[SSL2012]

It could well be the higher ratings don't return until a year from now.
It is the 3rd series in only 6months...

To put it bluntly, celeb BB could average 2mil viewers and channel 5 will still be delighted with that. Its the only show that guarentess them a steady 1.5/2mil audience every night.

If you look at the articles about their audience share and profits, alot of it is down to BB.

I'll go with 2.9mil tonight.

[Jack_]

Have a really bad feeling about tonight...1.1m. Yes, that bad. But I hope not.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Agree with the above comment. CBB is too underrated!

[Black Dagger]

Had a look and the competition doesn't look too bad, think we will beat CH4 and BBC2 again

I think it's only competition is ITV, new series of Law and Order, but yes bar that it should beat C4 and BBC2, I don't know what ratings the Bank Job has been getting.

[Jake.]

Have a really bad feeling about tonight...1.1m. Yes, that bad. But I hope not.

Can't see that happening lol. BB12 launched with 2.77 million and the next night was down to 1.9, so it shouldn't fall down that much. Hope I'm right lol :D

[Jake.]

I think it's only competition is ITV, new series of Law and Order, but yes bar that it should beat C4 and BBC2, I don't know what ratings the Bank Job has been getting.

Just over a million last time I checked. We should be ok xD

[Pronshi]

1.2 million

Can't see that happening lol. BB12 launched with 2.77 million and the next night was down to 1.9, so it shouldn't fall down that much. Hope I'm right lol :D

Yeah its getting about 1.1 million.

If CBB can average 2 million thats still amazing for Channel 5

[Callum]

Disappointing ratings for the launch :(

[Black Dagger]

Yeah its getting about 1.1 million.

If CBB can average 2 million thats still amazing for Channel 5

Yeah, I don't think they get those type of ratings unless the football is on, I'm sure they'll be happy.

[Jake.]

Yeah, I don't think they get those type of ratings unless the football is on, I'm sure they'll be happy.

Was only the other day that someone from 5 was praising Big Brohter for increasing their revenue or something. I can see it being kept on after this year

[Black Dagger]

Oh that is brilliant, to be honest, it's BB13 I'm worried about, as long as that gets good ratings as well, I think they'd renew for 2 years.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I miss the days when BB was massive and we didnt have to worry about it being renewed for another series.

Lets ****ing savour it

[Mystic Mock]

We need the Housemates to rise to the occasion.

Very true. Last night when I saw tweets like 'these are not even real celebs, big brother is sh*te' I was thinking 'THEN DON'T FUC*ING WATCH SOMETHING THAT YOU DISLIKE!! LEAVE BIG BROTHER TO BE WATCHED BY PEOPLE WHO LIKE BIG BROTHER!'. I especially get irritated by comments such as 'Big Brother is the worst show on TV, needs to be cancelled now'. I dislike Emmerdale, does that mean it deserves to be off the air?

Whenever i read a story on The sun online or something below the article is full of people saying "Who watches this garbage" "This **** needs to be cancelled already".

If you dontlike BB then why would you even go into an article about bb?

Baffles me.

[Jake.]

Indeed

[Omah]

Disappointing ratings for the launch :(


Yeah, DS say :

Celebrity Big Brother 2012 made a modest start on Thursday night, the latest overnight data indicates.

Only 3.46m (15.8%) watched the likes of Frankie Cocozza, Natalie Cassidy and Kirk Norcross enter the house from 9pm, a significant fall of 1.7m on last summer's series.

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/tv/s150/celebrity-big-brother/news/a358866/celebrity-big-brother-2012-premieres-with-35m.html

Guardian say :

The two-hour launch show had a 15.9% share of the audience between 9pm and 11pm on Thursday but it was some way down on the 5.1 million who watched the debut of last year's series on Channel 5, the first since it was dumped by Channel 4.

Ratings for last year's series settled down around the 2 million mark, bouncing back to almost 2.9 million for its final, won by Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty.

Channel 5 will be hoping for a similar return for its new series, although with the launch audience around a third down on last year's opener, it may prove a tough ask. The broadcaster will also being hoping that viewers are not suffering from Big Brother fatigue after three series in less than six months.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2012/jan/06/celebrity-big-brother-3-5m

[*mazedsalv**]

Friday 6th January Overnights
Channel 5 (inc +1)
20:00- World's Toughest Trucker: 1.25m (5.1%)
21:00- Celebrity Big Brother: 2.61m (10.6%)
* peak: 3.03m (12.3%)
22:00- Celebrity Wedding Planner: 1.02m (5.2%)
23:00- Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side: 668k (5.2%)

That's a 74% retention of the launch rating, CBB's best second-night retention on record (i.e. smallest ever drop). Last summer's CBB8 second episode retained a smaller 62% of the launch audience. So a possibility now that if the next few days hold pretty steady, the gap will close between CBB9 and CBB8

[Jords]

Thats some good news.

[JohnnyBB]

i cant work it out cause thats +1 raitings too? so what was it without +1 But 2.6m is great for channel 5,.

[Jake.]

i cant work it out cause thats +1 raitings too? so what was it without +1 But 2.6m is great for channel 5,.

Your looking at about 2.5 without +1

[Jake.]

And if it carries on this kind of path (the 2-2.5 million mark) we should pretty much get the same as last year, which isn't a failure nor a triumph

[Me. I Am Salman]

That's fantastic!!

[Jake.]

Last night most were predicting in the 1 million to 1.5 million range!

[Black Dagger]

That is great news, I reckon tonight it'll drop, saturday shows always do poorly, then it'll perform well again in the week.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Good news but remember the episode after the launch allways gets higher then the rest and finally settles on about day 4 at a lower rating.

Last years first 2 episodes both got over 3 million then dropped to 2.5 where roughly it stayed for the rest of the series.

I do have a feeling this series can redeem itself though.

If it can average 2.8 million like last year then it will be another success.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Digital spy are reporting BB got 2.4?

Channel 5's World's Toughest Trucker drove off with 1.18m (4.8%) at 8pm before the highlights of the Celebrity Big Brother launch night summoned 2.44m (9.9%). Celebrity Wedding Planner followed with 936k (4.8%) and Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side entertained 619k (4.8%).

[Me. I Am Salman]

Agree with you Daniel, I think they're mugging us off as someone rightly said in the comments!

How do you work that out?

Channel 5's World's Toughest Trucker drove off with 1.18m (4.8%) at 8pm before the highlights of the Celebrity Big Brother launch night summoned 2.44m (9.9%). Celebrity Wedding Planner followed with 936k (4.8%) and Celebrity Big Brother's Bit On The Side entertained 619k (4.8%).

That is without +1. The 2.61m is +1, and by the way, I think that rating of 170,000 is Ch5+1 biggest rating so far.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Im literally praying it keeps figures.

It is make or break as this is the last contracted CBB

Im hoping for a big scandal, dont care if its homophobia/racism/fighting lol just something to get peoples attention.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Tonights ratings are gonna be bad.

I honestly think about 1 million.

noone seems to know its on early. Not even trending on Twitter

it is! Andrew Stone is top trend and #cbb is second..oh its gone now

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ratings will be dire for tonight

[Me. I Am Salman]

I bet 1.8 million.

[Tony1111]

I think it's done quite well for a show on Channel 5, I bet if you rounded up any other of it's programmes it would have minuscule ratings.

Also, people are right in saying it's not event TV anymore, the show is being watched by the fans but I think it's main target audience would be 14-21 year olds so it's pulling in the younger audience, if they had a better age range of housemates in the September series and filled this series less models then I think it'd probably get a much higher reception. I'd say if they had of thrown in Ruby Wax, Boy George and ditched the twins it'd have something for everyone.

As it stands at the moment I think it's more likely that young girls and gay are the target audience given that it's filled with Kirk for his looks, Nicola and Denise for their strong female opinions , Natasha for her controversy, Natalie for her weight issues, the twins for there California girls image, the rugby guy for his coming out bravery, Andrew for his flamboyance and Frankie for his bad boy image, they are all really tabloid showbiz magazine celebs so I think Channel 5 know their type of audience pull. :)

[Mystic Mock]

Erm no its not

How do you work that out?

Because CBB8 dropped from 6 million viewers to 1.7 million viewers by the end of its run.:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

I think it will pull in 2 million viewers.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Because CBB8 dropped from 6 million viewers to 1.7 million viewers by the end of its run.:joker:


The lowest CBB8 got was 1.9 million and that was for a Saturday episode.

CBB8 averaged 2.8 million viewers.

Lets compare so far:

CBB8 launch: 5.3m
CBB8 1st highlights: 3.4 m

AND

CBB9 launch: 3.5 m
CBB9 1st highlights: 2.6 m

So how is CBB9 doing better then CBB8? LOL

Are you just making things up?

No,and CBB9 hasnt dropped as much as CBB8 so its showing which year is more popular so far.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

No,and CBB9 hasnt dropped as much as CBB8 so its showing which year is more popular so far.

No its not lol.

A programme that more people watch is more popular and more people were watching CBB8 at this point last year. FACT.

[Mystic Mock]

No its not lol.

A programme that more people watch is more popular and more people were watching CBB8 at this point last year. FACT.

CBB9 is holding more steady so far so its clearly more popular with the public,where as CBB8 dropped 2 million viewers for its 2nd episode.:joker:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The fact is this is the ratings thread and you said that this years ratings were better than last years when they 100% are not.

Without plus 1 last nights episode got 2.4 thats a million down from the same episode last year.

Yes its a smaller drop but its less viewers to meaning its LESS POPULAR and is not out doing CBB8 performance wise.

[Callum]

I think CBB will be renewed, it's usually always trending on Twitter worldwide every night without fail and has steady ratings of 2m+ each night. In this day and age I would say that getting a show to trend or something related to the show to trend worldwide each episode is pretty damn good, I'm guessing that nowadays producers and the channel bosses take things like trending on Twitter into consideration when deciding a show's future. In comparison Amy Childs' reality show gets under 500k each episode. Not too many shows get over 2m on Channel 5 so why would they want to get rid of a show that brings in that amount of viewers each episode? Regular BB is a whole different story though and I can see this year's series being the last ever if ratings don't improve which I doubt they will unless live feed is fully reinstated.

[SillyTilly]

Last Nights episode got 2m with a peak of 2.5m.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Hi SillyTilly
really? 2m!!! :O
that's great

[Jake.]

Not too bad I suppose

[*mazedsalv**]

Highest rated Saturday show since August (second week of CBB8).

[Marc]

Oooh good signs?

[Jake.]

Oooh good signs?

Well,its still a bad drop but no where near as big of a drop as what was feared.

[Me. I Am Salman]

so do we think this trend will continue?

[Jords]

Its stable :spin:

[billy123]

plop on the side slumped to 188 thousand.

[Me. I Am Salman]

188,000 :o
thats 1 million down from the launch night lol!

[Me. I Am Salman]

but i guess its because 5* is such an unknown channel

[*mazedsalv**]

Well,its still a bad drop but no where near as big of a drop as what was feared.

Not too bad for a Saturday and the 8:30pm slot. It should be at around 2.3-2.4m tonight I reckon. Also I am not certain if that's with +1

[*mazedsalv**]

Also BOTS on 5* was by far the most watched show on there.

[thediaryroomchair]

That is not bad considering BBC1's Casualty was good last night.

[BB IS ALIVE]

tonight it's on at 10pm, the same stage last year it dropped from 2.8 on saturday to 2.1 on sunday, hopefully the ratings for this year will stabalise, but i hope they stay above 2 million tonight, but I'm not confident.

If they stopped pis*ing around with the schedual, it wouldn't lose as many viewers!

It's not.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Well atleast it hasnt slumped below 2 million.

I really dont understand why they keep changing the time on their biggest show! Are they dumb?

They arnt even advertising at the end of each show what time the next episode is on.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Why isnt it bloody published on DS yet oh ffs.

[RichardG]

If they stopped pis*ing around with the schedual, it wouldn't lose as many viewers!

I agree, I didn't know it was on at 8:30pm until an hour or so before when I came on here.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It's not.

How do you know that doesnt include plus 1?

It does apparently and last nights episode got 1.9 without it

[daniel-lewis-1985]

from Digital Spy:

Celebrity Big Brother continued its ratings decline on Channel 5, with 1.94m (7.9%) watching highlights from the second day in the House

They are allways sugar coating BB ratings as a success but not this year

[DigitalSid]

How do you know that doesnt include plus 1?

It does apparently and last nights episode got 1.9 without it

The 1.9 rating posted on DS doesn't include +1.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The 1.9 rating posted on DS doesn't include +1.

I know but in a previous post you said that it was 2 million excluding plus 1?

[Roy Mars III]

These ratings are depressing

[DigitalSid]

rzt on DS has only posted the 1.9 million, I don't think the +1 has been released. The person who posted it is a new member and none of the people who usually post the ratings has mentioned it.

[Me. I Am Salman]

DS are fookin sly b*tches
"Celebrity Big Brother continued its ratings decline on Channel 5, with 1.94m"
they don't add +1 figures because theyre trying to make it come across as a sh*tty flop

[Samuel.]

It was on at a weird time tbf.

Nah.

DS are massive BB supporters.

Last year they constantly stated that BB12 was getting great ratings even though it wasnt.

They are just being truthful.

Dont know why they havnt invluded +1 though as they do with Channel 4

[Me. I Am Salman]

now now guys.. calm down.. we all know big brother is the best programme on telly.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I predict 2.1 for tonight.

This episode was a shambles until 40 minutes in. It was Gladiators with ****e dramatic music and an annoying Geordie screaming in the background. AWFUL.

If i wasnt an avid fan i would have switched off.

Why are they doing this? The conversations are genuinely entertaining, tv gold! Putting music over everything just ruins it.

[Mystic Mock]

I predict 1.9 million.

[Jake.]

At least it was not the Kirk and Georgia show again

[Me. I Am Salman]

It better be above 2 mil
it certainly deserves it

[daniel-lewis-1985]

It better be above 2 mil

I dont think the first 40 minutes of the show did as it was all clips and music

The last part was awesome.

[David R]

Seeing how good this CBB has been so far its makes me even more angry that there isn't a late night live stream, jeez channel 5 you have enough bloddy channels to show it on... why don't you make some use of the +1 slot after midnight (who the hell's going to use +1 services at that hour!).

I hope the ratings stay level at around 2 million, would be a reasonble figure to expect.

celebrity big brother drew 2.14m (11.5%) on channel 5 in the 10pm hour.

grrrr!

:(

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The rating for Sunday's show was 2.23m inc. +1. For the second half of the show more viewers were watching Channel 5 than any other channel.

Last years same episode drew 2.5 in officials so im thinking this is roughly the same.

[Lostie!]

grrrr!

:(

Why "grrrr!"?

There was a rise. Gosh, some people are never happy.

Because its still not great is it. I want it to be getting atleast 2.5.

Jesus!

[*mazedsalv**]

It was EXACT to last years CBB8 Sunday rating EXCLUDING.
The 2.23m beats last years 2.14m

Second half of episode was most watched of its entire slot, and the show grew throughout the hour.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Yeah i was just checking actually.

The officials took last years episode up to 2.5 million :)

I just want this years show to get 2.5+ per episode.

[BB IS ALIVE]

This is good, it is at the exact same stage as least years ratings now, and the 11.5% share is the highest since launch I think, so that is very impressive to be honest. I hope ratings rise in a similar way to how they did last year throughout the week. :dance:

[Jake.]

Bloody good news if you ask me. A rise is a rise

[*mazedsalv**]

Tonight will be tough!

E4 launches Playing it Straight (loved the show all those years ago!)
BBC Three launches Sex week.

Both have the same target audience of CBB. CBB should come out on top but I just hope it can build on last nights 2.23, if not, stay over 2m!

[SSL2012]

Tbh even if it gets 2mil, its boosting five's audience share very significantly, even above channel 4's.

And this is the the 3rd series in a mere 6months, it's bb overload tbh. No way five will get rid of it or the normal series if these figures hold up.

If bb 13 averages the same ratings as bb12, expect to see bb around for years. five annouced record profits, mainly in large to big brother, with its sponsership revenue amongst other souces of income bb brings. Not to mention it's boosted the target audience five wanted to attract massively.

[Me. I Am Salman]

The old dead and buried C4 big brother would be spinning in its grave now. Shame on you channel 4, shame on you.

[Locke.]

Not good enough

[*mazedsalv**]

Not good enough

Good enough for a renewal considering it thrashed everything on the channel, beating last year slightly and beating Shameless, as well as Coppers on the 9pm slot on Ch4.

According to the breakdown it got around 2.49m excluding the breaks, and it peaked at 2.57m.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Is this including plus 1?

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

This is great news the rating are going up.

[*mazedsalv**]

Is this including plus 1?

Yes it is. I think tonight another rise as Jedward are in and last night it had quite a lot of competition, tonight I honestly looked at the schedules and can say nothing really appeals with the BB target audience.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Woohoo shame on your face C4

[BB IS ALIVE]

Good news, I reckon this series will average pretty much the same as last years one. Just looking at how poorly channel 5's other programs rate, they really need to sort out their early prime time shows, something like bblb at 6:30 would be good I think.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Are you sure it was 2.3?

Without plus 1 it got 2.15m (8.5%)

Channel 5 was beaten by Channel 4 last night aswell.

When Paddy met Sally performed quite well didnt it.
