Wait a minute - the X Factor is a singing competition?

We were right.

BB is pointless without live feed.

It was a no-brainer.

Unfortunately, C5 seems to have no brains.

Just received an Applause Store email offering tickets for tonight's Eviction show. Leaving it a bit late aren't they? BOTS were begging for audience members too.

A short while ago these would have been regarded as shocking figures but now they are regarded as the norm.

LOL, I think we have all seen everyone who lives in Borehamwood or nearby, so they probably need some new blood.

Thats another one of the reasons I think BOTS should be scrapped. It doesnt really add a lot to the show (it damages the brand imo) so unless they choose a 'roadshow' type program where they move around a little, then it will continue to look dull and samey.

I cant watch it anyway, as its utter tripe!

1.3m is pretty shocking following what is regarded as the best episode of the series.

Last night followed the tanning episode - ie, it should have got a good rating.

Lower. An Idiot Abroad is launching on Sky and from the clips I've seen it looks hilarious. I think that will take some viewers away from the eviction. I'll predict around 1.7 and 1.2 for the two shows.

I'll be watching BB, of course. Really looking forward to tonight's shows actually.

Celebrity juice 1.2m and + 1 of 230k
XFactor USA 1.1m

It was up 150,000 week-on-week and 110,000 ahead of Celebrity Juice, in a bad night generally for Channel 5 (600k at 9pm), so it moved in the right direction at least.

I don't think you can reasonably expect massive jumps from one show to the next. This one has been very consistent around the 1.2-1.4 mark for the weeknight highlights shows.

Karl Pilkington is a LEGEND!! An Idiot Abroad wins with me hands down! It had nearly a million on its first episode, first series, a real winner for sky!

I am glad we agree on something

From the Guardian:

Fresh Meat Skewers BB

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2011...?newsfeed=true

Quote:
“Fresh Meat, the new comedy drama from the writers of Peep Show, launched with 1.5 million viewers on Channel 4 on Wednesday night.
The new series about six student housemates, written by Sam Bain and Jesse Armstrong and starring Jack Whitehall and Joe Thomas, had an 8.4% share of the audience between 10pm and 10.55pm.
Its audience rose to 1.69 million when people watching on Channel 4 +1 are taken into account.
Fresh Meat beat Big Brother, which had 1.32 million viewers, a 7.7% share, at the same time on Channel 5.”

It was crap, though.

Isn't Fresh Meat yesterday's news? It finished with 960k in the final 15 minutes so that will probably be the last time it beats BB.

And BB reached out to a lowly 3.7% share.

The Official BB Newspaper has yet another story about a housemate on its front page but as usual it's one from the celeb version.

Eh?

I think you're getting confused with Channel 5's overall primetime share and BB's healthy share of 7.6%.

The Daily Star like any newspaper will feature stories of interest to its readers.

Thats still more than saturdays episode of BB this week.

Are you suggesting BB is also yesterdays news?

Or do we again apply different rules.
