The Big Brother Celebration was the most watched TV program on Wednesday with 1.474 million viewers. Source: AAP A MARATHON episode of Big Brother threw up an odd result for the Nine Network with the winner's announcement finishing second in the ratings.
Oddly, more people watched the Celebration segment of Big Brother than Tim Dormer being named the 2013 series winner, according to OzTAM's overnight ratings.
TV Networks break down the finale of shows into segments for ratings purposes and usually the winner's announcement is the summit on the night.
However, the Big Brother Celebration was the number one show on Wednesday with 1.474 million viewers while the climatic end to the three-month series was second with 1.398 million.
Nine telecast Big Brother live in all states and it ran for three hours, about 30 minutes overtime, ending about 10.30pm (AEDT).
It was hard to determine which part of the telecast was the celebration because once Tim emerged from the house, he answered a couple of questions before the telecast ended.
A Nine spokeswoman told AAP the winner announcement was when second place-getter Jade left the house.
The Celebration came soon after and included Tim being on his own for several minutes to contemplate the win before he arrived on stage just minutes before the telecast ended.
Dormer made headlines late last year when he streaked during Rihanna's promotional tour flight and after surviving 101 days in the Big Brother house people are talking about him again.
The Big Brother Grand Final was fourth on Wednesday with 1.131 million viewers and behind Nine News (1.149 million).
By running overtime, Big Brother inflated the ratings of Nine's US drama Hostages which finished 10th with 720,000 viewers.
The big surprise of the night was the poor performance of Chris Lilley's latest comedy Ja'mie: Private School Girl which launched on ABC1 on October 24 with 924,000.
Episode three on Wednesday attracted 592,000 to be 17th overall and fewer viewers than Nine's late afternoon quiz show Hot Seat (598,000) which was 16th.
