HOLY SHIT THE SPONSOSHIP THING IS TERRIBLE

I caught the end of the launch show and watched tonight's one. I probably won't have enough time/control of the TV to watch that much but my initial impression is that they're all a bit too generically attractive and similar in personalities. Pauline might be my fave so far as she's a bit older and she seems very sensible.
 
You could watch it if you had a computer, HUH! (Don't force yourself to watch a bad reality tv show if you don't want to.)
 
So...ratings aren't good? Or can this be spun another way?

Ratings crash for second Big Brother 2014 launch show

Posted on June 7 2014 at 02:44pm by Matt Scott

Ratings nosedived on day two of Big Brother 2014: Power Trip, with the second live launch show going well below the 2million mark.

According to unofficial overnight data, an average of 1.56million (8.2% share) tuned in to Channel 5 to see host Emma Willis introduce the final six housemates, with the audience peaking at 1.67million.

The average figure rises to 1.64million (8.6%) when including viewers who watched on timeshift service Channel 5+1 – down 460,000 on part one of the launch.

These numbers will be disappointing for C5 bigwigs after the split launch proved successful last year, with the fourteenth series achieving the show’s highest ever second episode retention.

However, although C5 came in fourth among the main five channels last night, ratings were low across the board once again.

BBC One won the 9pm hour with only 2.59million viewers (13.2%) for their repeat of Inspector George Gently. Embarrassingly, Channel 4 beat Big Brother, with a new 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown tieing with BBC Two’s Gardeners World on 1.97million (10.1%, inc= +1 for C4).

C5 did manage to trump ITV, whose offering of a Soccer Aid warm-up show drew just 1.57million (8.0%) including +1.

Meanwhile, Big Brother’s Bit On The Side continued with 596,000 (4.4%, exc +1) at 10.30pm, while the second instalment of live feed had 405,000 (4.7%, exc+1) at 11.30pm.

Big Brother: Power Trip continues tonight at 9.30pm with the first highlights episode.
 
I hope they leave her standing in that room when the show's over and don't tell her she isn't being filmed anymore.
