Ratings Review: BIG BROTHER (Season 16)

BIG BROTHER has slowly become one of the stronger series of the summer. As AMERICA'S GOT TALENT dwindles in the ratings, BB held steady and beat the talent show series, in many head to head battles.

BIG BRITHER is one of the few series this summer that not only held onto it's premiere numbers, but grew, slowly, over the summer. High-ones and low-twos were the norm in July, but by September, mid-twos were the norm.

For the season, BIG BROTHER averaged 6.41 million viewers and a 2.2 rating in Adults 18-49. It is no surprise that CBS picked up the series for another two seasons. Expect 2015 to shine on BB17.
