According to an official C4 post on the C4 Reach Forum, the start date for BB3 has yet to be confirmed. I wonder what they are waiting for? Or do you think they are waiting for a suitably quiet news day to announce it to ensure maximum coverage?

Presumably all the fixtures for the World Cup are known, so they can work things out so key events don't coincide with big games. Obviously they can't know what will happen as the competition progresses, but they can't wait until then - can they?

I've been exchanging various emails with Helen Hawken (BB series editor, you may remember her from BBLB) concerning dates for BB3, and they are keping it all very quiet at the moment. She gave me the impression that they did know exactly when BB3 was going to happen, but that they were not going to release any dates before the official press launch sometime in April.

I've gotten myself on the official press mailing list for this so as soon as I know anything, so will all of you.

Wow that's quite impressive LEE!

Next stop ..... take over the show, we'll all come and help

[chilledbootz]

excellent LEE. I remember her well! Is it possible for you to ask her if there will be a follow up programme nearer the time please?

Wow, LEE!!! U know them all, got all the contacts!! Tell her I said hi...well, she is famous cause she works on the biggest tv show in the world!!!!!!

[mcginn]

it comes on the 24th of may stay turned

There are still 2 conflicting start dates going around. Either the 24th or the 28th. Both of these are being touted as the offical start date by differing organisations and newspapers etc.

I'm hoping to find out on Tuesday as I will be talking to channel 4.

I'll keep you all posted.

Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it starts on the 28th. I hope to acquire some tickets for the rugby in Cardiff and so there for the weekend (partycity).
I love the start of BB and would hate to miss it!!
There again, if it does begin on the earlier date, it will be good compensation for not going to Cardiff

[chilledbootz]

Well 24th is a Friday and
that is the traditional day to go in.

i'm sick and tired of waiting, can't they even have a proper build up to this or sumthing? jees

I've been feeling that since the silly blighters pulled the plug on the BB2 website and failed to understand they were sitting on a goldmine and failed to capitalise on what they had started!

And I'm in marketing...........!!




ps Hi and welcome sh8er_bb3 Where did the nickname come from?............??????? lol

Hi Sk8ter

Welcome to the board.

It is very annoying all the mis-information that has been spread around about when the how is going to start. Channe 4 and Endemol are determined to keep us guessing.

However, I have just started another thread about this with some very interesting information that I managed to get hold of today.

Hey sk8er_bb3!
Welcome 2 da board!

I dont know bout any1 else but I think the waiting around bit is fun; not knowing when BB3 is back is wot keeps every1 guessing! Not knowing anything bout it keeps us in suspense. If we knew every thing, it would be boring
There probably will be a big build up within a week of it starting with like adverts and stuff but theres still a while 2 go yet.
