Report: CBB to air before BBUK in August
 

UPDATE:

Reports suggest CBB will begin mid August, a few weeks after Love Island, then civilian BB will begin in September soon afterwards.

Hopefully officially axed and will no longer be returning to television.

Just heard; apparently it’s about when it’s back... :shrug:

Probably that it's starting in August

Update to the OP: CBB is to come before BBUK

Looks like bbuk won’t launch till September then

**** off
they have no chance in hell of doing anything ****ing right do they

:laugh2:

so the news of them taking civilian seriously again is ****e

This is so ****. BBUK is supposed to be the main show, and CBB the spin-off. Now BBUK is gonna have the hash bash repainted house, no promotion, no unique twist, nothing new to it. Nobody will be excited for it. I genuinely can’t be bothered with more CBB yet my excitement for BBUK was quite high for the first time in a while and this just sh*ts all over it

What a mess

Because this worked so well in 2011 :rolleyes:

Isn’t the house lease up in September

A week long civilian series is coming?

Lmao

Not the civilian housemates getting moved into porta cabins after a week for the rest of filming.

Even though 3 CBBs in a row is just pathetic, at least we got the 2011 Format some of us wanted...

Let

It

Die



(or move to a superior channel, preferably)

'back to basics'

Ffs

Waiting for the news the civilian housemates WILL be the celebrity housemates as a back to basics TWIST followed by a celebrity series right after.

:clap1: :clap1: :cheer2:

could be worse imo

at least we’re getting something relatively soon and not waiting until September

rude to say on a big brother forum :nono:

What’s even more hilarious is this launch date with the fact they advertised in universities... irony

I don't mind this at all

It's going to be extended. When Endemol can sort out the correct paperwork.

The thing is, this would work if they were leading BBUK with a good CBB, but the reported theme for CBB is bloody rehab :laugh3:

Terrible scheduling yet again!

This will kill the civilian BB as people would have had enough after 4 week's of watching CBB plus the house will get a lick of paint then relaunch in a day or 2 which scream's low budget.

Why are people acting like there is a huge demand for Civi BB and it will die because of CBB ? CBB is now the flagship show and has been for years

So in short: they’re relying on Katie Price’s sex addict ex and Chloe Ayling to save their format

CBB was the flagship show until they over exposed it. Last year’s summer CBB averaged 1.8 million which is less then BBUK could manage just a few years ago. Even January’s CBB has fell from 3.1 to 1.9 million. BBUK has lost just 200k over the last 6 YEARS in comparison, so is obviously the much more consistent and reliable show. If they put in the effort to bbuk, they could’ve easily made this next series special and it manage the same rating as CBB will likely get (but for longer).

Channel 4 is launching their new Reality Show "The Circle" in September... I think I will just watch that instead lol.

'Hi my name is Endemol and I'm going to bring BB back by airing ANOTHER CBB and including a bunch of desperate fame seekers trying to recover from being unclassified celebrities right back to Z Lister stardom! ...oh and also here's a bunch of random numpties, welcome to Back to Basics!'

Send our Steph back in!

My theory: Channel 5 are ending the show and want the final final to be of BBUK, because ending with summer CBB would just be weird, so they’ve switched them

If they actually improve the show with tasks, no outside contact and good promo, I don’t mind if they’ve switched

If CBB wants any credibility, they can’t put on Chloe Ayling or Stormy Daniels.

So many trash names being rumored around CBB... When will Josie Cunningham.

I'm a fan of the late autumn civi series schedule, so I'm fine with that (though I have terrible flashbacks to CBB8).
I'd like to believe it's better for whatever kind of UBB that *should* be this year. Let it die.

I haven't read the whole thread but does anyone think C5 are ending it like they started it, with the whole summer CBB before civilian?
