Big Brother rates 825,000 in slow Thursday night’s TV
Big Brother had another tough night on Thursday as the second season of the reality show’s switch to Nine continued to bob well below the 1m mark.
According to preliminary overnight ratings from OzTAM, the show had a metro audience of 825,000.
However, all of the networks had a typically slow Thursday. And last year saw Big Brother’s ratings fade in its first couple of weeks before they rose again as the contest developed.
Ten’s Masterchef masterclass rated 764,000, up on previous weeks. Seven’s Please Marry My Boy rated a disappointing 619,000 while Formal Wars was on 495,000.
In the key advertising battleground of 25-54, The Footy Show on Nine was top, Big Brother was second for the night, Nine News was third and Masterchef was fourth.
Meanwhile, Seven’s Sunrise narrowly beat Nine’s Today by 359,000 to 328,000 in Mel Doyle’s penultimate show as host.
