Most media outlets are now backing this to say that the BBUK Final will air on Friday, July 28th and the CBB launch will air Thursday, August 3rd

Looks like they're keeping on the village theme for CBB then? I would've thought they'd take a month break like BB16 to give the house it's own theme since it might be All-Stars

Looking at the rumours now I'm pretty sure it's not all stars anymore. Apart from the 6 week gap in 2015 I think this is the longest gap they've had

[Daniel-X]

I'm glad it's not All Stars tbh, if they kept doing it all the time it'd become stale. I'd rather them just do another AS vs NS or full AS in a few years (if it's still going)

[Glenn-C]

If it's launching on the 3rd we'll probably be getting the eye in the next few days actually

[Littlegreen]

So happy it's finishing on a Friday!

[Niamh.]

Oh no I'm going to miss the last 2 days

It'll most likely just be the BB18 eye with a star in the centre

The public will react negatively to an All Stars unless it has Pricey, Hopkins or Perez in it so they really shouldn't do one unless they have one or two of that trio signed up if they don't want to shoot themselves in the foot.

I want all newbies.

If they at least take out the ugly graphics I'll be happy

[Cal.]

54 days then. That checks out with what Raph said on launch.

[supertv247]

The love island final is meant to be extended to Thursday 27th so this makes sense.

We got the eye on July 8th last year, and CBB is launching a week later this time so any time this week I think

[Cal.]

I bet the week Emma doesn't present a live show will just have backdoor evictions with house votes for the second chancers with the one who lasts the longest getting the 15k and then leaving.

[T*]

[Time]

19 days left, looks like there's going to be lots of evictions over the next couple of weeks if there are still 13 hms.

[Jodie.]

A Friday final

But how many days is ha?

I'm missing most of CBB weekday episodes because I'm at NCS this summer but I'm going to try and find a way to watch.

So we get an ex on the beach star that will hog the limelight and sleep with everyone and he still counts as a celebrity. Dr Patel, my local GP is more famous than Jordan!

Jordan actually isn't very good with confrontation so I don't think he will hog the limelight. Megan McKenna used to have to argue with people for him lmao.

Probably an accurate comparison but Jordan will probably stir things up whereas Scotty was just a bore.

Yeah I feel like this too. Having returning housemates come back is only fun if it's done once in a while otherwise it loses its novelty like BBUS. Plus having two series a year with All Stars would just be even more of an overkill imo.

[Cal.]

Emma said that it'd be nice to bring back people every few series' welp when they did CBB19. Little did she know there was only 3 CBB's left before it ended!

[Jodie.]

Just counted, it’s 54 days x
