You've no need to apologise Tom0 - unfortunately here lately discussion has increasingly turned to attacking the posters rather than debating the topic.
Getting back on topic, and they didn't really manage to hold on to their ratings increase from Thursday night. Last night (without C4+1) got 3.3m and 3.0m - though if you knock of the last 5 mins of the second show (which included just ads with 2m switching off) that jumps to 3.4m.
I think it's been a pretty bad idea to push back the second show to 10.30pm on Fridays - they'd have been better off opting for a 90 minute show from 9pm, then keeping The Friday Night Project on Fridays at 10.30pm.
An hour long show could work just fine as well. Highlights for the first 35 minutes, then Davina speaks to the house and the evictee is evicted. Then interviewed after the break in the remaining 15 minutes. Show extended for special events such as last night.
Unfortunately though instead of having one higher rating (which could happen) they would rather opt for 2 with figures down, but in a way where they'll get more advertising revenue.
A 90 minute show could work just as well but from a business point of view not so good. These won't be fully accurate beacuse I'm using the averages, not working them out properly, so last week instead of two averages of 3.7m/2.7m, they would have had an average of about 3.2m and would have got less money for it in subsequent weeks. I think the problem is no 8.30pm start, but they can't afford to put it up against Corrie.
Yep, 60 minutes would be fine by me too. I don't see the need for the full hour of highlights on eviction night and sacrificing an extra 10 minutes to include the interview in the hour-long show would be my preference.
Ok, just watched tonight's episode and that was hi-waitforit-larious! I mean, Mickey is not a funny person at all, but his jokes were so crap that it was cringeworthy! But when he said that thing about ''I squirted cream into my girlfriend's fanny and my guide dog licked it off'' Rachel's face was hysterical! She had her disapproving/shocked teacher expression, it must be on youtube by now!
Confirmed to me how Mikey is the vilest housemate in there - and if he wasn't blind the housemates wouldn't be too scared of the backlash to nominate him.
I nearly puked the other night when it came to everyones attention that he washes his knob with a drinking beaker.
Same here, Lorns.
I'm not sure what the reason is for washing his tackle using a beaker. All the others seem to manage quite well in the shower or the bath; being blind shouldn't really make any difference.

Apparently someone has been peeing in the shower too - and I don't think it's unreasonable to suggest Mikey would be prime suspect.
Thankfully this week two HMs had the balls to nominate him - let's hope more follow in the next couple of weeks.
Sylvia seems to have developed short-term memory loss on top of her stalking tendencies.
On tonight's programme she again harrassed poor Stu in bed, then forgot the true conversation entirely by the time she recanted it to Jennifer two minutes later; afterwards she returned to haunt him in his sleep to tell him not to flirt with her!
Obviously she's forgotten that there are cameras and microphones recording her duplicity. Silly girl! She's going to look very foolish when shown that sequence on her departure.
Fortunately there are no livestock in the house these days. Stu would be waking up to chicken heads nailed to his bed, or a pot on the boil in the kitchen just waiting for a rabbit.
