Big Brother ratings report

Week commencing 18/5

Here’s a look at how BB performed this week. For the uninitiated, remember that on a day-to-day basis, it’s more important to look at how the show performs in the 18-49 age group, as that is Ten’s key audience, rather than the total audience numbers that Seven and Nine fight over. But for the sake of comparison, total people numbers are still included here.

The ‘placing’ listed with each show refers to how it compared to the other commercial networks in that 18-49 age bracket, not total people.
