October 8, 20186 yr Author It's retained viewers really well, didn't it drop to like 400k on its second episode? I know even its top ratings isn't exactly stellar for Channel 4, but considering it dropped from 1 million to that, it could have fallen to a much more embarrassing number, so the fact it's risen and is even beating BB is brilliant for it. I mean I kind of thought it was going to absolutely bomb after that and end up cancelled before it ended :lol: Also not that it's going to become as big as Love Island by any means, but the first series of Love Island only averaged 600k across the series and look how that built! It may end up on E4 but it'd be interesting to see how it builds. Overnight ratings aren't the be all and end all for a show like this, it's a new format that needs the word of mouth and buzz and obviously if someone hears about it now, they can't contribute to that but can go and catch up. There's also a lot of social media buzz which helps.

And agreed considering how the ratings slumped for the 2nd episode the fact its now pulled ahead is a good sign - be interesting to see what the final rates. I haven't been this obsessed by a Reality TV show since the Channel 4 Big Brother Days :lol:
October 8, 20186 yr Author Just catching up on yesterday and are they THAT thick to not realise that Sian is always top and would have been the super influencer? :lol: Ughhh she just gets on my tits so much. Freddie is putting me off again with this too ffs.
October 8, 20186 yr Author Dan's face to Alex revealing himself :rofl: He's coming across as a right idiot in this, knowing he signed up to this show and is just more worried that he didn't get a girl out of it like it was Love Island :')
October 8, 20186 yr Author Sian did come across better there! Still think what she did in the show (or didn't lmao) doesn't deserve to win though. I'd put her above Dan now after that meeting though, at least she was like yeah it's a game and just got over it. I just think she came across quite thick and a bit of a sheep mostly. I'm sure she's a nice person irl but meh at her on the show. Alex/Kate all the way for me, my fave since the start along with Genelle and I want him to win even more after that. His face seeing Millie, love is real after all :wub:
October 8, 20186 yr I’d love a Kate win. Dan has gone so far down in my estimations that I’d now go Kate, Sian, Freddie and Dan I’m that order.
October 8, 20186 yr Author Voted Kate/Alex on both my iPad and phone on the app yesterday and again tonight also! *.* Fingers crossed he at least gets the £25k! Wouldn't it be ICONIC if like everyone gave low ratings but then Dan gave Kate a 5 and made Alex win :rofl:
October 8, 20186 yr Author OMGG THE PUBLIC WINNER AS WELL! I wish they revealed the ratings though, I feel like maybe they all did it tactically and then Dan gave Kate 5 which would be hilare :lol: Amazing I am so happy at this, such a satisfying end, worth the boring bits at times :wub: Haven't felt like this over a winner of a reality show in recent years other than Isabelle in BB last yar tbh. Someone who actually tackled the game by risking being a catfish, but a thoroughly decent guy at the end of it all. Hopefully this encourages less Dan/Sians if we get a season 2 :kink:

I think you’re spot on there, Dan’s integrity played a massive part here. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome, I’ve been rooting for Alex all the way through and all the others had moments where I didn’t like them.
October 8, 20186 yr So happy with the double win! Everyone's low rankings and then Dan giving Kate a 5 sealed. So happy that He won and was the one I've wanted to win from the start :D Best result on a RTV show for a fair while!
October 8, 20186 yr Pleased for Alex as he does seem like a really genuine, down to earth person and pretty much played the game perfectly and stuck with the character throughout. I, too, am just glad Freddie didn't manage to win anything. His entrance/interview went right through me. Unbearable even to the bitter end. :drama: I do wonder whether Dan actually did believe Kate was a catfish, or whether he was just going along with everybody else's instincts so he didn't look like too much of a blind fool? He said as many times that he'd made peace with the fact that she was probably a catfish and that he actually liked whoever was behind it, so I don't understand why you'd react the way he did when he finally met Alex? Really hoping that we'll get a second series because this series was absolutely fantastic and had me hooked from start to finish. :heart:
October 9, 20186 yr The Circle lost to Big Brother in the ratings last night which is surprising 624k for BBUK and 615k for The Circle.
October 9, 20186 yr Kate/Alex deserved the win!! Agreed :) Still happy about the results Best reality tv show in years
