15m people this morning have been aware of Big Brother
Facebook's page titled Unilad (if you don't know what this is its basically a page which covers funny/sad news stories and is primarily supposed to be for a male audience)
Anyway the page is liked by 15m people and earlier they posted about the 'strangulation' segment. I honestly thought BB would get slaughtered in the comments because the page targets heterosexual males usually. Expected comments like 'why are you covering this?' 'Is this still on?' like usual. But surprised that a lot of the top comments from guys acknowledging how good the series and stuff like 'I feel sorry for his fiance', 'people are do prude', 'but it's a great series'. This is a place which has been so negative about BB but a lot of people watch it. Anyways, pretty good/or bad promo to make 15m people aware of Big Brother. |

To be fair, people being "aware" of big brother doesn't make it any more or less popular. Most of the people I worked with know about bb and the current stories etc through tabloids and so on - but they wouldn't actually watch the show in a million years. I suspect the same might be true of most of the social media posters.

Everybody I know laughs when I say I watch it. They think it's a joke. Even
the young ones. |

It's not like the ratings will go up (of course not), but it's obviously reached out to a shed load of people. |

I don't understand anything about Facebook - so is this a good thing or a bad thing?

And the fact that the top comments were surprisingly complimentary about BB is a shock in itself considering the demographic of UniLad. |

No it isn't. The current version of BB deserves to die. If it brings any more people in then it will only get worse and worse.
45 minutes highlight show. Crappy 5 days of BOTS. No news alday whats going off. It's a sinking ship. I had enough it's all fake from start to finish. |

Anyone who thinks it will revert back to what it was need a reality check because there's more chance of me travelling to France in the next hour and beating Ronaldo, Messi and Torres in a 3 on 1 football match with crutches. |

Unequivocally good. Social media presence counts above actual ratings in term of selling to advertisers and sponsors, who no longer rely on viewing figures in a post 'on demand' world.
