An audience of more than 2 million viewers tuned in to last night’s Big Brother 2014 launch show.

 

An average of 2.1 million watched as series fifteen kicked off on Channel 5 from 9PM, hosted by Emma Willis.

It’s the exact same that last year’s launch managed, showing that the show continues to hold on to its core audience.

It also helped Channel 5 become last night’s second most watched channel, with ITV managing just 1.7 million in the 9PM slot for their Ryan Giggs documentary.

And over on Channel 4 at the same time, the yearly comedy gala averaged 1.8 million with a peak audience of more than 2.4 million.

Meanwhile, Big Brother’s spin-off show Bit On The Side had an average of 700,000 viewers between 10:35PM and 11:35PM.

Big Brother continues with the second half of the live launch tonight (Friday) at 9PM on Channel 5 where a further six housemates will enter.

Big Brother bosses have been blasted by viewers and fans over their Official app.



This year has seen Big Brother decide to give power to viewers by offering them chances to influence goings on in the house via the mobile app.

Last night us fans were given the opportunity to decide the first β€˜Power housemate’, who were put in control of the house and decided on one housemate to reward and punish.

But the new app is only available to those with iPads and iPhones, and only then to those able or choosing to run iOS7.

It rules out anyone else, such a Android and Windows Phone users, or those with older iDevices, from voting and that’s despite a product placement deal with Microsoft to have their own Surface tablets featured in the house itself.

One user complained: β€œCan’t believe it’s not on android, have an app which at least reaches the 2 main handheld device operating systems or don’t have one at all!”



And on Twitter, another wrote: β€œNo phone voting, no Android app. Half your audience are now excluded. Long time viewer now disillusioned.”

A third added: β€œThis is rubbish @bbuk I’m being excluded from voting because I’m not an Apple fanboy! What happened to more interaction? ”

In the UK, Android mobile phones account for more than half of all sold (55.7%) while fewer than a third (30.6%) run iOS. Just over 10% use the Windows Phone operating system, meaning the app is not available to more than two thirds of all mobile phone users.

They’ve been in the house all but a few hours but the new Big Brother 2014 housemates are already sizing one another up.

 And it seems we should expect to see fights and bitching between Glasgow model Danielle McMahon and head hunter Tamara Stewart-Wood.
 Speaking to Matthew in the garden last night, Daneielle admitted: β€œThey say don’t judge a book by its cover but within 5 seconds of meeting someone, I know whether I like them or not.
β€œThere are two people I’ve not connected with. I’ve got this sixth sense we’re going to have fall outs. I’ve got that gut feeling we’re not going to get on… one of them’s a girl, Tamera.”
Danielle went on: β€œShe’s the total opposite to me. I hardly ever swear so when I hear all that swearing I’m like β€˜Oh my goodness’ I can see a bit of atmosphere. ”
Meanwhile Matthew, still suspended above the garden in a glass box, admitted a bit of anger towards Power Housemate Pauline Bennett for putting him there.
 He complained: β€œShe came out saying no hard feelings but surely there are. We didn’t say one word to each other.”

Big Brother continues with the second half of the live launch tonight (Friday) at 9PM on Channel 5 where a further six housemates will enter.

14.19pm: Quote of the day so far comes from Mark...

4.00pm: All the housemates are in the garden, making the most of the big yellow thing in the sky. We hope the Factor 50's on. #bbuklive

 

4.15pm: Danielle's stomped off to the Diary Room in the search of food. There's no kitchen in there, silly! #bbuklive

 

 

How have the housemates been making the most of their first day in ? Here's our handy guide to the day so far: http://bigbrother.channel5.com/how-make-mos

Big Brother will Change forever when 6 housmeates enter in Tonights 2nd live launch at 9PM on Channel 5.

 

 

Here are some sneaky teasers about tonight’s new BBUK housemates.

 

Last night saw the first ten housemates – Christopher Hall, Danielle McMahon, Helen Wood, Kimberly Kisselovich, Mark Byron, Matthew Davies, Pauline Bennett, Steven Goode, Tamara Stewart-Wood and Winston Showman – enter the new house.

This evening the launch continues with Part 2 as six more new housemates join the group.

They include a Northern Irish beauty, an obsessively polite artist, a nightmare tenant, a smooth talking ladies’ man, a sassy beauty blogger and a younger, better looking version of David Beckham. Apparently.

The youngest is 18 and the oldest is 33.

One brands themselves as β€œsarcastic actor” while another describes themselves as simply β€œa handsome model”.

There’s also another model: At least the fifth of the series already.

Only one of the new lot is in a relationship and they are perhaps the only non single housemate of the series (Although current housemate Kimberly Kisselovich says she’s β€œdating” but doesn’t have any β€œcommitments”, whatever that means.)

The six newbies come from all over the UK, including Derry, Manchester and Hampshire.

One boasts that his β€˜manhood’ is β€œhuge” and us viewers should expect to see it.

  • His main passions are music, movies, ideas, girls, individuality and creativity, honesty and respect.
     
  • Chris feels that his parents have taught him how to be polite to others at all times.

  • He has never worked a 9-5 job because he 'just couldn't'.

Helen Wood has won a pass to the Big Brother 2014 final in tonight’s big live twist, recap what went on!



Last night saw the first ten housemates – Christopher Hall, Danielle McMahon, Helen Wood, Kimberly Kisselovich, Mark Byron, Matthew Davies, Pauline Bennett, Steven Goode, Tamara Stewart-Wood and Winston Showman – enter the new house.

And tonight they were joined by Ash Harrison, Ashleigh Coyle, Chris R Wright, Jale Karaturp, Marlon Wallen and Toya A Washington.

As power housemate (voted by us viewers in Thursday’s show), Pauline was told she would be able to give one housemate a pass to the final.

She watched the six newbies enter, along with their VTs, before being asked to make her choice between the 15 other housemates.

Pauline said: β€œGive me a couple of seconds here! To be honest, it ain’t going to be out of the new six… they just talking smack, so I’m taking it from the people I know already…”

She added: β€œThe person I’m going to pick is… it’s a choice between two people… the person I’m going to pick is…and they’re going to kill me for this… Helen Wood”



Back in the house and BB gathered the group in the garden where once again a glass box awaited the group.

Big Brother then instructed Helen to enter the box before announcing that she had been sent straight into the final with a shower of golden confetti.

Helen reacted: β€œOh my God! Pauline! Where is she!”

27-year-old Northerner Helen hit headlines three years ago when she was involved in a tabloid scandal involving a well-known personality, namely footballer Wayne Rooney.

She says she doesn’t regret her actions but wishes it hadn’t come out in the press where it got blown out of all proportion.

Big Brother continues nightly on Channel 5 with another LIVE show on Monday night.

One unlucky housemate will end up facing eviction EVERY WEEK of Big Brother 2014 in a new nominations twist.



Tonight’s latest live show saw power housemate Pauline Bennett given yet more game changing decisions.

She first had to pick one of the other housemates to give a pass straight through to the final, selecting Helen Wood.

> Big Brother 2014 twist: Helen Wood wins pass to the FINAL

But Big Brother wasn’t done there as he revealed that Pauline’s next decision wouldn’t be as nice and even more difficult.

Big Brother told her: β€œOn Sunday, nominations will take place for the first time.

β€œAs the power housemate, you will be immune from the first live vote.



β€œYou will however have one killer nomination. Whichever housemate you chose as your killer nomination will face eviction each and every week they remain in the house.

β€œYou should use the next 48 hours to make your decision and you must not reveal this to the rest of your housemates.”

But even that wasn’t all as Big Brother host Emma Willis went on to reveal that there would be ANOTHER live show on Monday night.

The live surprise from the house will air at 10PM on Channel 5 on Monday evening, straight after the highlights show.

Did you agree with Helen as the choice to get the pass to the final? Who should be Pauline’s killer nomination? Add your comments below!
