The show’s average through four episodes is 2.6, down 13 percent from last summer’s 3.0 at this time.

It has been a disappointing summer in general for CBS, whose 18-49 average is down from last summer.



Ratings are the key. Wonder how many people were flicking thru channels and thought they were watching a RERUN from last year??

This isn't a rerun of last year? LOL

The question I have is...Is the switch from Saturday to Sunday going to continue to hurt the ratings?

I mean, just look at its Sunday night competition compared to what it was always up against on Saturday nights. Plus, wasn't Tuesday nights' show always at 9, not 8?

Could be many factors playing into this.

I don't like the Sunday show. I wish it was back on Saturday night.

I think it's boring, too. I wish CBS would spend a little, and have a luxury comp. once a week. It is, after all.."all stars"...I think the HG's are bored, too.

People wanted Cowboy back. His not being on the show caused a ratings drop of nearly 31 percent. (I made it up).

I read recently that TV viewing has been at an all time low so far during the month of July. (This is traditionally the lowest viewing month of the year) So if total viewership is down for all shows, it only makes sense that BB7 would be down too.

Airing the show on Sunday isn't really a factor for me because I end up taping most BB shows anyway.
We are usually not at home on Sat. evening and if we are then we have company that would rather watch a movie or play cards & drink margaritas than watch what they feel is a repeat of BB6.

Having people who have been through this before definitely eliminates a lot of the tension. Will they crack? No--we know that. What will they do? We sort of know that, too.

There's not getting-to-know-you about these guys, no budding romance between the audience and them. The tension is missing.

Aren't the ratings usually low at the start of BB each year?

Wait til next month. Things always start out slow.

Every year I watch the traffic on my site spike in late August and early Sept.

Have you thought, Ryn, that this may be because we all start getting testy with each other by then and people are logging on to watch us, rather than because of interest in BB?

Actually, if they keep voting the women out on the show, this will just turn into BB All Stars/Frat Party/Boys Gone Wild...could get interesting finally

Part of the issue for me is that so far the game hasn't changed and it's getting a little odd. I was expecting more tweaks for this "All Star" edition, and maybe they are coming, but it's the same rules with the same people, it indeed feels like a rerun.

Part of the problem with the TV shows, i think, is that they are not doing a good job of showing the viewers this.

There has been a lot of crazy/intering things happening, but what do they show us?
Yet ANOTHER segment on Howie's fake light saber and being a Jedi! BLEH!

I have a friend without the feeds and he was very confused by the Sunday (7/16) show --
Why isn't danielle a threat anymore, what did she do to turn everyone around?, he asked.
Why doesn't everything think CT is a threat, what have they done this season?
What was the background for Kaysar's nominations?

I saw the answers to his questions on the feeds, but he's right they didn't do a good job of addressing these things on the show.


~~~Not to mention I thought this was supposed to be the most INTERACTIVE season yet!!! When does THAT start?

Sorry, I know this is a minority opinion, but... it was too soon to bring back all 4 people from Season 6. This is like a rerun from last year. Kaysar and Howie are boring now. Just send them to sequester, please.

I like the Sunday show time....At least Im looking forward to Sunday evenings rather than spending them dreading work on Monday morning.

But one thing about All Stars, is that it is hard to gain NEW fans because they are somewhat expected to know these people already.

I, too, spoke to someone who only watches the show. She isn't watching this summer because "there is really not much to this one" (meaning reality show, not just this season). It is an internet experience. I know last year the shows piled up on my Tivo.

The episodes show the competitions, not a lot of action or strategizing. If you do not care who wins HOH, because you have no clue as to what is going on, you drift away.

Conversely, Ryn, yes, it takes awhile to get rolling. When the numbers go down there is more tension.

This is the first year I am not really into BB. I come check out the boards now and then. Just dont really care too much about it. I miss getting to know the new hgs. I have that been there, done that feeling. I have the feeds and sometimes turn them on. I am using my Superpass for other stuff than BB, for the most part. It just sucks!

I'm already bored with this season also, too much like last year. I always enjoyed the idea of not knowing the people, getting use to their personalities, trying to determine if they can be trusted or not. This season is pretty easy, don't trust a word that comes out of anyone, which seems like the same way the hgs are treating each other. Noone really wants to say anything because it will get spread throughout the house in no time.

Even the live feeds have been boring the few times I have tried to watch them.
