Actually its over 1 million when you add in the VPM and catch up which is massive for FTA television. Its demos have been really solid and there has been some great consistent figures for the show. Clearly you are in the minority and the viewers have resonated with the format.
This is the 21st of June:
And that isn’t including the month consolidated and the fact this new format is much more marketable and able to sell to streaming services.
I would like to know what other shows this year have achieved those sorts of figures online and streamed live. Which brings viewers to their website. This sort of show is something all networks are in dire need for as the consumer is on a device where they can easily buy what they see which is an advertisers dream.
How is it over a million when the last episode had 695k watching and a VPM of around 20k, with consolidating averaging 90k. The last few episodes have also averaged out to 850k with consolidated and VPM ratings added. And which streaming services will it be sold to?
I just gave you the figures from the 21’st of June which was over 1 million 840 + 50 + 149 is 1.03 million.
I have no idea which streaming services will go for it. But there is every chance it will be with the short seasons. Netflix has been a fan of a lot of the 7 reality shows. And even if they don’t its a show like Love Island that can keep constantly having viewers come back and tune into it.
As I have said previously I do prefer the original format but I don’t let my bias get in the way of seeing the show has been successful. Just because you might not like it doesn’t mean the show hasn’t been successful and resonated with viewers.
Sorry was looking at the wrong VPM numbers. You are right I can’t deny the semi success of BB this year but I can’t see what is essentially a Survivor copy sustaining these ratings in the long term if the show stays as repetitive as it has been.
I hope 7 shakes up the format somewhat next season to stop it becoming stale.
TONIGHT – A COVID-19 scare forced the Big Brother house into lockdown but it didn’t stop the housemates playing the game. Daniel made a secret deal with Chad to keep himself and Mat safe in the game, throwing the challenge and giving Chad the power to nominate. Chad put best friends Xavier and Casey up for eviction alongside pal Sarah, who he knew had found Big Brother’s secret token which would keep her safe from eviction. Given the chance to remove a major player, Daniel and Mat turned on their former ally and Xavier was evicted from the house.
BIG BROTHER’S SCAVENGER HUNT
Big Brother offered one housemate an edge by throwing a scavenger hunt. Hidden somewhere within the house was a Big Brother token. The first to find it would have to go to the diary room to find out what their game changing advantage would be. Sarah found the token and was told she could remove herself or a fellow housemate from eviction if nominated after the next challenge.
NOMINATION CHALLENGE
Musical Chairs – Positioned throughout the house were eight unique chairs of all shapes and sizes. When the alarm sounded, housemates had to run to the target in the loungeroom. When the alarm stopped, they had to race to sit in a chair. The housemate left without a chair was out of the challenge and so on and so on until there was one person left who won the power to nominate three housemates for eviction.

Xavier Molyneux, Sydney - “If you wanted to vote out the more strategical player it was definitely me. Dan and Mat got me real good. If I was in their position, I’d probably make the same move so no hard feelings. I’ve been in there for 30 days and it was a pressure cooker situation. It was so much fun getting to know everybody and it was a great experience all round so one hundred percent I’d do it again.”
MONDAY 7.30PM… CASEY SEEKS REVENGE!
Chad and Sophie have forged an unbreakable alliance and it hasn’t gone unnoticed. Casey is out for revenge and she’ll do whatever it takes to bring them down
One thing that is really frustrating me about this season is the contestants have been allowed to talk to home. Last week Daniel got a call from his girlfriend. This week they all received calls from home.
Yes, but they should not have received letters from Home 2 weeks in and not received zoom video messages only 3 and a half weeks in. That just goes against the fundamentals of the show.
But its not the same show we knew before. This might be what the producers want to do to keep housemates enthused and functioning and not moping around.
Certainly not the BB that I remember. I really miss seeing the interaction of the contestants, rather than the Survivor-style scheming. Watching the contestants bond and look out for each other was one of the best parts of the old BB.
But presumably they heard him pronounce his name at the beginning, so it would be strange if they were saying it wrong. I’ve heard the name pronounced both with an X and a Z in the real world so maybe it’s actually pronounced with an X?
This is a hot topic on the BB facebook page. I have met guys that want their names pronounced the proper way, “Zavier” and others that want the wrong way, “Egg-zavier”. He doesn’t seem to be correcting anyone so maybe it is the latter.
its really frustrating!
