So far so good. We do seem to have a clear leader, do we know what highest score has been in a regular week here i.e. 12 mains and 3 specials. I know 90 is the top score available, has anyone scored 60 points? I know 50+ happens occasionally.

I believe 63 is the current record set by Andy Parish in S15. I've just spent ages looking back in order to verify this as I could have sworn this had been bettered since, but not according to my records. A mightily impressive score for a normal week I'm sure you'll agree! Here's the final table for that week: http://forums.digitalspy.co.uk/showp...&postcount=487

Wow that was a bad week, I just relived it by looking through that weeks results, I was in Charnham territory.

That 63 score is like 3.5 points per main and 7.0 points per special.

I may have got lucky with EE last night and leapfrogged a few places. I have gone 1.6m x 3 tonight for the C4 shows, talk about a leap of faith

25 points available, so expecting a lot of movement in the leader board come tomorrow morning.

The smart money is on VIP rating 0.9m-1.2m tonight, so my 1.6m looks overly optimistic. I am expecting more viewers than normal to watch 8OOTC in the earlier slot and viewers tuning in early to see Chatty Man (with Tulisa) again in an earlier slot - thus boosting the VIP figure, however as it is an impressions show, some viewers may turn off after 5 minutes...

This is probably my best showing since Season 16 so far - hoping I keep it up. Seem to be doing very well with backups included, but tomorrow is a different story and I'll most likely drop to my usual mid-table position.

Yeah, you're doing really well this week.

Stay positive, anything can happen!

This has been a very odd week for me. The ratings haven't been that unusual, I feel like I'm doing pretty well and yet at present I'm not even in the top 20!

Normally when I'm languishing near the bottom it's not a surprise to me, but this week it kinda is.

I think, because everyone predicted very close together this week, a bunch of near misses (3s or 6s) just isn't going to be good enough to be troubling the top half of the table. When it's this tight you have to be getting them spot on wherever you can, and a 5er is one thing I've been unable to muster so far. I have however managed to get within 0.1m of the actual rating FOUR times! :sleep:

Ouch at Friday night, I expected 8 Cats to be way higher and VIP to hold the lead in, which it did (albeit only 1.1m) I can't however gripe at my general scoring, the 10's flying around ensured I would drop back down the table. I know 15 points are left, I would like to score a 40 total though it is unlikely, Homeland ought be good for a 3, but scoring a 6 on The Voice Results will be a tall order.

You are doing well this week though, if you get TV close you could have a great finish.

I went 9.7m for TV, hoping for a 9.4m-10.0m range as it is a short show and 6 points would be great

2 or 4 points are more likely of course.

Edit: Only just realised there were shows on Saturday night duh!
