I'll be interested to see the consolidated ratings next week as I think it will increase by more than a million during the week after some people realise they missed it on Sunday.
The second battle is third most popular behind the first battle and DW if that has any indication
I thought it was better last night. It deserved higher ratings. It will suffer from the fact that it is not on next week. Is there another round or is everyone who won their battle through to the live shows now
And to be honest who gives a crap if BGT beats it?
Its been the highest rated show on BBC for the last month or so - yes its not beating BGT, its one show against everything else on TV - so perspective is good
"Trounced" ? So a higher number of people watched BGT than The Voice. Why does that matter to you so much? Different people watch different things.
The only reason I would like The Voice to get as high ratings as BGT is to avoid people coming on this forum just to say "Haha our ratings are bigger than yours". It's pathetic.
Wait, where are you seeing that rating? I see 8.45m official rating for Sunday the 12th and 8.72 for Saturday on Wiki
Perhaps Wiki have got it wrong. On the BARB site they give 8.86 Saturday and 7.82 Sunday although the overnight for Sunday was 7.1 so it's strange that it's consolidated so low when it's usually 1 million higher. 8.45 seems more realistic. I can't remember if it was repeated the next day or not.
7.82 is still a good rating though and certainly not the lowest of the series. The way the BBC keep swopping the days and times around it's not surprising some weeks will be higher or lower than others.
Tonight the Voice clashes with the Champions League final, and Radio 1's Big Weekend is on BBC3. I expect this to have a negative impact on the ratings. We won't be watching it tonight.
I think it the ratings will probably be quite low tonight as they made some quite daft scheduling decisions. The two week break has meant the show has kind of lost momentum, and the 2 hour length meant it got a bit boring and I can imagine many people will have turned off. Plus as the poster above said, it has lots of competition in terms of other shows. It would have been much better if they had the first half of tonight's show on last sunday.

I hope they don't drop to low although they probably, as it was a great show and in fairness if you look on the thread you will see that the show didn't drag as there was some great battles

Big Weekend won't dent it. The Champions League final, having just seen the result, may do so. But, we'll see in the morning.
Last Sunday's show consolidated to 7.82 - i.e. a lower figure than the overnight for the last Blind Audition. Bit awkward.
(I'm a huge fan of it btw.)
Probably owing to the fact that more people watch live on a Sunday, so less timeshifting - plus the fact that many people didn't know it was on on the Sunday?
I'm guessing both the football and the warm weather dented it. Or quite simply, the break has killed it's momentum.
I would say it was more down to the brake it seems to have killed a bit of the momentum plus if you look at the brake down for both the football wasn't much competition for it. So I would say the brake and weather dented it as there wasn't alot watching TV last night. Still on the positives it was the most watch show of the day and not many BBC shows get that figure still be nice to see if it can pick up again
How did the overnights last night compare to the previous episode and the very first episode of the series?
The first episode of the series got 6.24m (26.9%) and a peak of 8.15m (35.1%). The previous episode (last Sunday) got 7.05m (30.4%) and peaked with 7.8m.

Well it was against two shows that rated over 4mil which is hardly nothing check before you post
The second battle is third most popular behind the first battle and DW if that has any indication
Still against no real competition. Catchphrase and Rockers are hit/miss shows who rose on last week as viewers looked to find something else
The Battle's were so much better than last year though.
I loved them. People who say the Voice doesn't deserve good ratings are talking rubbish.
I love both the Voice and BGT. BGT is always going to be the ratings winner as it's much more established.
Trounced by BGT which got 10:9m viewers.
Thats sundays rating...
And to be honest who gives a crap if BGT beats it?

BGT was doing much better in it's second series than The Voice is, but BGT's rating didn't fall off a cliff. Instead, they doubled across the week.
Should The Voice continue increasing, it should at least manage 10 million for the final.
Samuel has stated in the Ratings Thread that BBC have put the first live show on the Friday to avoid the BGT final!

Why is it awkward its still a good figure considering it was lower, plus the blinds always rate well
Scratch that

It would be a real shame if the football dented it as I don't know if u watched it Hassaan but it was a great show

football imo....i didnte ven watch it last night
