Default If civilian series' were the same length as CBB's...

...would C5 produce them better?

I think they lose their way a bit regarding the length, if they were the same length as CBB do you think C5 would produce them better?

Maybe, but the fun (well, "fun") of CBB is that you know (well, "know") them beforehand so you don't need time to form opinions on most of them. With civilian BB you need that extra time.

I get bored of a 9/10 week BB.

6/7 weeks I would prefer.

It would be better. It drags like a bitch. Two evictions a week are just better.

Think I'd still enjoy a ten week show if it had two evictions a week though. Fun housemates and evictions are the most enjoyable parts for me.

I always think 4 weeks CBB and 9 weeks BB.

No summer series.

9 weeks is good enough. Well, it worked quite well for 4 seasons?

I think it depends on the number of housemates they put in really. Like, a 9 week series would work if they had about 13/14 housemates. That's why BB16 felt a bit rushed imo as it was a 9 week series but had 18 housemates

Same

I loved the super long C4 series' but C5's just aren't entertaining enough to be kept on for a long time.

I agree. I think BB12 was perfect.

For me anyway,it would be too short a time to really connect and get to know all the housemates.

A good number of celebrities are known in some way whereas in the general BB series, the housemates are not.
