I'm going to lower my CBB prediction slightly to 2.3m. Didn't have the impact on social media it normally does, and I expect the Arsenal game will have done some damage.
The All Stars seem okay but the New Stars lineup is absolutely dire. Even if it miraculously turns out to be decent from here, I don't expect it to rate anywhere near as well as previous January series. Cue Willis leaving, Rylan taking over and cancellation following soon after. *shrugs* It had a good run. If they want to prolong it a bit, I'd seek to cut back on the series once they've seen this contract through and cancel the summer CBB and civilian one- Emma has a break in Jan from filming for the voice, and it might up the cast star power a bit. I think they've also tried a bit too hard over the years with the 'biggest twist ever' etc... The most successful reality shows seem to stick to the same old comfy slippers technique that people look forward to and you could definitely boost it a bit with this imo |

I'm not questioning your judgment. I thought you might be being sarcastic.
I can offer no reason to be optimistic, other than Ch5 depend on this to bring a large number of 16-24 YO to the channel so surely won't let it go without a fight. I think even if it dropped to 1.5m in overnight figures, they'd keep it going. The key from C5's point-of-view is they have proven they can have a hit entertainment show on the channel. And one that is stripped no less. So it can be done. Quote:
Wow Dancc you really are angry about it. I am taken aback really. You are usually "King of Spin" where C5 is concerned. But wow. I have not seen you been this angry.

I thought the show was lousy and didn't feel like a "Launch Show" no show does "Launch Shows" like Strictly does. Emma tries to look and act enthusiastic but I bet she is done on the inside.
If they could keep the full list of names from being leaked then that might heighten interest somewhat, but that would mean less press coverage in the run up which could be detrimental in that respect. |

Bit on the Side was appalling - the panellists didn't even know the "celebrities" names.
Bad night for CBB. When Honey G is your big name something's gone wrong. |

I think the live feed for Big Brother is good though tonight. I think it'll be a good one.

I think you might be right, It's had a great run really on 5 anchoring their schedules effectively and providing consistently great ratings but it does seem to be coming to end if it's life span- They've gotten their value from it though and made 4 look a bit foolish for dropping it so mission accomplished.
There could be other openings for them in entertainment anyway. Four has massively overspent on Bake Off I think it's fair to say, which will put real strain on their budget over the next few years and BBC One and ITV seem devoid of ideas at the moment, relying on yet more shiny floor talent shows. If Five are ever going to get lucky with a big new format of their very own, this could be the right time to take a bit of a gamble on something and see what happens. |

This is the problem with biannual or triannual shows. They get tired quickly and become a chore rather than a pleasure and twists need putting in to try and freshen things up.
I really have no idea what C5 can do at this point. It does feel like it is ending naturally. The fact last year's CiviBB was cut short spoke volumes. |

Absolutely. I think you could only reflect positively on it.

What if C5 got it's act together with sister Viacom channel Logo and launched RuPaul's Drag Race: UK That would be a massive risk. But I would love to see it happen.
Run it for 8-12 weeks at Friday's 9-10 and air Untucked at 10:30-11 and have a companion chat show Spilling the Tea each Tuesday/Wednesday at 9-10. It could be a smash for them. |

That's Pretty low for a launch. I can't see this series rating that high. It will rate like a summer series. I think tonight could be under 2m which will be shocking for a winter series. I enjoyed it last night though.
Look at the EastEnders rating holding well.

Pleased to see EE above 7m still. They need a big story now to launch to keep viewers. That Lucy storyline did wonders for ratings.

Hmm not sure why the winter series has suddenly dropped around a million viewers for the launch in 2 years. I think this series will rate similar to the last winter series overall.
