Big Brother struggled in the ratings on Saturday, but the audience picked up a little yesterday.
Shievonne’s eviction on Friday secured over 1.5 million (excluding +1), but ratings dipped over the weekend.
Saturday
Highlights of day 39 averaged 869,000 viewers (4.2%) on Channel 5 in the 9PM hour.
The +1 audience is currently unavailable, but the episode is the second lowest rated of the series so far, ahead of the 774k that chose not to watch England’s Euro 2012 match with Italy last month.
In the same timeslot (excluding +1 channels), Casualty appealed to 4.41m on BBC1, The Nation’s Favourite Number 1 Single averaged 2.57m on ITV1, and The Million Pound Drop Live was seen by 1.39m on Channel 4.
Sunday
Last night, 1.15m (4.8%) caught up with highlights of day 40 (1.25m including +1).
The combined audience was down on the previous Sunday’s 1.50m, and was the second lowest Sunday show of the series, again ahead of England vs Italy.
Elsewhere at 9PM (excl. +1), Wallander averaged 5.19m on BBC1, both Superstar and The Nation’s Favourite Number 1 Single received over 3m on ITV1, and World’s Most Dangerous Roads and Thelma’s Gypsy Girls were each seen by 2.12m on BBC2 and Channel 4 respectively.
Big Brother continues tonight at 9PM on Channel 5.
Let us know what you make of the latest Big Brother ratings below.

The ratings were down because it was the night WE THE VIEWERS protested that Conor, despite his appalling behaviour, was still in the house. If BB continues to cover up for him and allow him to continue, there WILL be another protest.
Go ‘bad’ team, GO!
Is there any wonder that the ratings are low….. when BB continue to allow Conor to run the house, they should listen to the public. The other houosemates are scared of him and if they go ahead with face to face nominations no on will dare vote for him only Deana. well done BB
You keep having having Connor and Carolyne on the show .the ratings and viewers will keep dropping lower and lower. You need to listen to the viewers .You need more real people like Adam . Adam you keep ,keeping it real ..
I was an avid viewer from here in Germany. I cant bear to see Conor in there anymore. I quit watchig until Conor is gone. No excuse for his behavior.
I myself do not watch BB live, I tape it, then when Caroline or Conor come on I just fast forward it. If neither of them are up for eviction this week, I won’t even bother, I’m gone.
After tonight’s shows and the blatantly rigged nominations, I sincerely hope that the ratings continue to fall and that Schwartzkof revoke their sponsorship.
I agree as there are doing this week in week out and I am getting real bored of it
Just a thought… isn’t it funny how viewers don’t like when HMs threaten to leave the show and then don’t. Not unlike fans who are fed up with the show, say they aren’t going to watch anymore, yet they still do…and continue to comment…
Just sayin’
Cheers!
Cheers to you.
Exactly! So why can’t we enjoy the show for what it is, or just stop watching it?
I try to read 100% of the posts on this board and it takes a VERY LOOOOONG TIME due to the negative comments mimicked by most posters.
I can’t blame the posters though… this is a trashy season of BBUK, but I’m not going anywhere anytime soon, it still rocks over BBUSA!
and don’t get me started on Glass House.
Tombolian, I have been watching BB US and enjoying – suddenly feed has gone? How do you get it and any advice for someone watching in UK? Help!
C5 have f***** BB up big time so I’m out unless there are big changes. How do I watch full episodes of other BB’s ie USA, OZ etc without having to join up anything or pay? Would be really grateful for any advice! Thanks
Has anyone tried this from the UK?

I can’t tell if it works from there or not. Lemme know!
Yes it works thanks.
Great! I only found that youtube channel a couple days ago. From what I can tell, they have ALL of the USA series. Ah, if only it could be like it was in season 1…
