Big Brother ratings remain below 1m for first nominations episode
Big Brother’s first live nominations episode did little to boost the show’s ratings which remained below a million for the third night in a row on Tuesday.
With 880,000 viewers, Big Brother, broadcast from 7pm to 8.30pm, was only just above Ten’s MasterChef, which had 803,000 viewers across the five city metro according to preliminary overnight ratings from OzTam.
In the first live nominations for the year, Big Brother housemates cast their votes leaving six to fight for their place in the Big Brother house.
Seven’s X Factor at 7.30pm was the top program of the night with a metro audience of 1.48m.
Not that i care.. but the reporting of this seems a little anti big brother? I may be wrong but i thought masterchef was one of the jewels for 10, and it has been quite comprehensively beaten by the maligned (rightly or wrongly meh) Big brother.
But this reports makes that sound bad? Is there some sort of agenda?
Or is it just me?
Hi OS,
On its own I take your point. But given the context that we’ve reported extensively the downward path of Masterchef’s ratings this season, it’s noteworthy that Big Brother has fallen to a similar level, hence today’s angle.

Hi Offal Spokesperson,
This probably needs the added context that we’ve regularly reported Masterchef’s declining ratings in the current series. The context here is that this is not a great result for either show.

Cheers, appreciate the context.
