If people really want to see some trash tv turn over to E4 at 22:00 each night this week!

Big Brother's Nadia is appearing on Fool Around With...... Nadia and is really scrapping the bottom of the barrel! What a hideous programme.

The presenters on CLI are really terrible, what are ITV thinking? Rolling Eyes

Im only watching for 1 celebrity, as soon as he is voted off the tv goes off at 10pm.

Kelly Brook's notorious for being a crap presenter (Big Breakfast etc).

Eh? You what? 'Study Purposes'? They're not asking you to watch this for school and write an essay about it for the next day are they?

Ahhh....it seems like the days are long gone since I had to watch Zig Zag and write an essay about Romulus and Remus...

Wednesday's overnights:

"Celebrity" Love Island: 3.4m (17.3%)
BBC News: 5.3m (27.1%)
Desperate Housewives 3.1m (17.9%)

Figures in brackets are Share of available audience, C4 has a slightly lower reach than ITV.

so what got more viewers? CLI or Desperate Housewives? Your audience shares don't make sense.

Celebrity Love Island got 0.3 million more viewers, but there are less potential C4 viewers which means that they had a better share.

Has anyone read the viewer comments on the ITV microsite? Best joke ive seen for ages

Kelly Brook is clearly the best presenter ITV has employed in a long time, please keep using her for other new shows. Greg Collins

Well if I am honest with you, thought it was going to be really trashy and crap. I was right on the trashy part, but it was bloody brilliant, so addictive. Was even laughing out loud at Paul. Hana Salem


Clearly the show is attracting the thicko chav viewer on this one. Strange all the comments are so positive and praising, cant seem to find my 'this programme is crap' message! Very Happy

I think the show is great & everyone I know does too, apart from one thing. Last night when we watched it we felt it was too short as we hardly know what some of the people are like because they are never shown, unless we watch the live show. Emma Courtney


There was a funny story in the Guardian today too. The person who owns the URL celebrityloveisland.com has linked the site to the Big Brother site in protest at ITV only offering him £300 for the URL when a billboard costs £3k to rent, and in protest at ITV for showing such 'dross'.

Does anyone seriously think this will last the full 5 weeks in prime-time considering the viewing figures arent great despite the massive promotion in every junction, and the fact that none of the tabloids have really taken much interest in the 'slebs' basically lying around sunbathing and congratulating themselves for looking gorgeous.

It is because DH is 1 hour long and Celeb is only 30minutes.
There are more people watching tv in general between 10-10.30 than there are between 10.30-11 thats why DH's lower audience is a higher share.

Well, Channel 4 news have just reported an 'ITV source' as saying that execs are considering cutting the shows run from 5 to 2 weeks!!! Now, maybe this is just Ch4 trying to rubbish CLI as they dont want the competition with BB, but I seriously doubt ITN would just falsify a report to boost their customers ratings. So, it looks like my prediction was right - I said this format wouldnt last and wouldnt last its full course. Now, if I can see that, as well as others on here, why couldnt the ITV comissioners instead of steam rollering into another ratings disaster!
