How does nobody else hear the music?

its a tv set, tv sets can have soundproof rooms!

Thought I'd stick with this as frankly a bit of trash is what I need at the moment and I like to know what I'm slagging off but god, it's bad isn't it? Like really bad. I don't think even trashy dating shows try to force that element so much.

 

[Brekkie]

So Taylah and Tay aren't the same person?

 

[Mr Stickyfingers]

…watching this shows slow agonising death is like looking at the scene of a gory and bloody news bulletin of victims in a war zone strewn with dead bodies and limbs missing etc…you look at it coyishly through your fingers of your hand to shield you through the horror but something compels you to look at it anyway… the last time I felt like this was when I was 10 years old and the World was exposed to a Dalek for the first time ever on Doctor Who… I was terrified!… as I am for the death of a once great juggernaut of TV… it makes the heart bleed… it really does… cheers.

haha you beat me, was just about to post that. Surely this has to be bumped to a mutichannel if not today then from Monday at least?

Meanwhile, Total TV for last Tuesday was 513,000, compared to Love Island's 350,000.

 

[Brekkie]

If the double bill goes ahead tonight the second episode will defo be sub-100k.

I'd like to think BB is too big for a multi-channel but could see them getting burnt off on one of them (it's so bad probably 7Flix) in double bills on Thursdays and Fridays now.

 

[Zcsund1234]

I cannot believe this is still beating love Island in total tv.

Total TV for Tuesday the 7th
BB 513,000
LI 350,000

OMG! I didn't think any progrs could be as bad as BB 23. Specially after the sleazy episode last night

 

[Isee]

I wonder how many of the total TV is people from overseas watching via vpn? If so be interesting to know why they are watching? Are they confused/frustrated BB fans too?

Does Total TV include streaming numbers on 9Now?
@sav0001 @timmy ?

yes, it is the Metro + Regional + BVOD total

Yep. Here is a comparison to show that Love Island does much better on streaming compared to BB. Naturally linear TV ratings will be lower for Love Island as it airs on 9GO instead of the main channel.

I wonder how the demos are. At a guess the LI audience is younger and prefer streaming, while the BB audience is older and that's why they are turning this shit off in droves.

 

[Isee]

Love Island also looks like it is increasing its audience, where as BB is going backwards.

 

[Evan44]

130,000 viewers nationally last night - will BB still be on the main Seven channel by next week?

I've literally been refreshing TV Tonight to see if a channel switch gets reported. It's only a matter of time, surely?

 

[sav0001]

Exactly right. Most of Love Island's audience are females aged between 18-39 while BB skews older with females aged between 25 and 54 being the primary viewers.

If 7 wanted to attract younger viewers they have completely failed with only 8-10% of females aged 18-24 streaming the show compared to 21-22% of the same age group streaming Love Island.

Nope, it will sink to 80-90k for tonight's 2nd episode

 

[Hunter's_Mckay]

Well that was a crap episode.

So, so boring.

First we have Love Island, complete with barely-there bikinis, kissing 'tasks' and lame questions.

Then nominations, the highlight I guess.

Followed by the most irritating housemate being given the chance to save somebody.

So of course he saves a piece of attractive (I guess?) wallpaper, and the crawl through a convoluted secret door into... a speakeasy, with hired extras. Just... WHY? It isn't interesting.

He had no reason to save anyone else. He doesn't know Bella and clearly he's not close with Zach and Luke. Taylah was his only actual reason and the two of them may well team up in the game now so it's a win win for him I think.
