Jake and Ari are a bit cute

I wonder if the ratings for last night will be even worse than the 130,000 figure for Tuesday?

Basically guaranteed. Especially the second episode that aired.

Haha, this ages well.

I'm tipping 115k for the first show and 90k for the second tonight. And 7flix/mate next week. And that's generous.

Yes: 112,000 / 86,000
ETA: Total TV for last Wed was 487,000 (Love Island 351,000)

 

[Rison]

The show is dying fast. All of next week should be sub-100,000 now.

Yikes. Although BB's replacement program 'A Year On Planet Earth' didn't do much better rating only 20k higher than BB last week.

It's Time to Go... Big Brother.

Only question is where?

They can shift it to 1-2 am where it's ratings wouldn't count. Question is would anyone even care?

 

[Rison]

They could do what TVNZ did with the last season in New Zealand and dump it onto a sister channel at midday.

 

[Zcsund1234]

hilarious. That’s the only word. A five digit figure. Glorious morning. Best news to wake up to.

 

[sav0001]

Surely we will get an announcement either later today or tomorrow that it's been bumped off the main channel.

But why? What else would rate more at 10-11pm on a Wednesday night?

 

[bleachy_dude]

Haha I’ve only watched the first 20mins shhhh

 

[Afflllate]

Actually thinking back on who would break a tie, They don't have HOH but they do have that King/Queen thing which is kinda the same thing anyway, So I guess in that instance it would've been TeeJay as Bella was up, but would he have saved her is the question, judging from what happened after lol.

It wouldn't be hard to find something that rates better than 86k TBH. Also 112k at 8:30 pm is terrible too. Cheap Seats on Channel 10 the night before had 348k watching for example and is much much cheaper to make.

But channel 7 doesn’t have the cheap seats! As you said, their 7:30 replacement didn’t do any better than BB. It’s almost the end of ratings season. I can’t see why they would bump it any further.

 

[Evan44]

It is almost the end of ratings season. Channel 7 might just leave Big Brother where it is, refuse to promote it, and just let it quietly die off. Otherwise, if they moved it to a secondary channel, they'd need to come up with a replacement program for that timeslot.

 

[Evan44]

I think one thing is clear, Big Brother won't return to Seven in 2024, guaranteed! This season needed to rate better than Love Island, the show they've clearly modelled this 2023 version on, to guarantee the survival of the franchise in 2024.
Sonia Kruger anyway has 4 or 5 other shows to host on their schedule lol. She won't be out of a job!

The thing is, on Total TV numbers it's doing much better than Love Island. But the numbers of realtime viewers are just an embarrassment. It's really bad optics, and no wonder they wanted to do away with the overnights completely.
