Yeah, I looked at them, but I didn't know how those figures compared
to other UK shows. It's hard for me to look at numbers when I don't
know what they mean.
As for the ratings drop, it would seem roughly half the BB viewers
over there felt it wasn't worth watching. There was a substantial
drop in the US from the first to the second show as well.
What's weird is, unless it's a typo, April 13 has 9 million viewers --
half again as many as the show before or after. If that 9 s/b a 6, it
would fit the pattern.
Were the other three networks off-air that Sunday? <s>
