Starting two days before the World Cup isn't pretty smart

[arsenalforever]

I know a lot of you aren't probably football fans and the world cup might mean nothing to you. But Starting this show two days before the biggest sport event in the world isn't the smartest thing in the world. do you think the show will lose a lot of viewers for that month and would you have started it a few weeks earlier just to get the viewers(who probably are massive football fans) into the show just before some of the viewers lose interest when the world cup starts?

imagine if England make it to the final i really see BB11 suffering for at least a good month

[Jordan.]

It was either go against BGT or the world cup so i dont think they had a choice :p

[Beastie]

Hey Steve!!! nice to see you back.

[keithafc]

Should of started it in April to be honest. Get the series under way. The world cup will rape the BB ratings for a month and a half.

[arsenalforever]

Hey Steve!!! nice to see you back.

thank you beast :xyxwave:
nice to see you

[Beastie]

thank you beast :xyxwave:
nice to see you

:D Are you going to be here all through the BB season then???? by the way.. I don't care for the World Cup! it sucks ass!

[Jayson]

Welcome back Stevie boy :)


Not much they could do about it really, but it's better than letting the World Cup starting before. If BB started after the WC started, then people would be too occupied by the WC to care about BB, whereas this way, people get into BB before the WC.

[Beastie]

Anyway yeah sorry.. maybe it should have started earlier.. or to be honest it is fine where it is.. but BB just has to make sure they won't clash with World Cup matches!! maybe start a bit later than usual or something!

I think the producers of the BB have to hope and pray england get knocked out early which i don't see happening cause the longer england stay the longer the World cup will hold interest in Britain.

Britains got talent and now the world cup not a good way for BB11 to start

[arsenalforever]

:D Are you going to be here all through the BB season then???? by the way.. I don't care for the World Cup! it sucks ass!

I will be as much as i can but the World cup will hold my interest for the first month or so. How date you say it sucks ass:joker:

[30stone]

Welcome back.

and they are probably hoping england go out in group round.

[GypsyGoth]

:wavey: Good to see you back Steve.

[bbfan1991]

BB is on in the summer and WC is every 4 years so good on C4 for sticking to the usual June/July start:thumbs:.

I'm really excited about the last BB but i'm more enthusisatic for the World Cup because it's awesome:hugesmile:. WB Steve;).

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

they should postpone the world cup imo

[Jordan.]

:joker:

[iRyan]

Are they at the same exact time? They should just change the time during the world cup.

thank you Jay :)

I think they should have started it at least two weeks before so to let us BB Football nuts get to know the Hm's before are minds wander off to south Africa for a month and a half.

[bbfan1991]

WC is from 11 June- 11 July;).

[arsenalforever]

Welcome back.

thanks :)

oh they are at the nearest church right now praying to god:joker:

looking at the group England are in and seen they might not face a proper hard team until the QF's i can't see england get knocked out for a good few weeks.

[Jayson]

thank you Jay :)

Yep, I'd agree with that. One of the worst years to decide to have a late launch :joker:

At least the World Cup isn't too long, otherwise I'd barely watch any BB :p

[bbfan1991]

thanks :)

We're always overhyped:rolleyes:, penalties do need a lot of work on lmao.

thanks mate :)

I'm a big BB fan but everytime a world cup or European championship comes around i do lose a bit of ground up on BB

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

WC is from 11 June- 11 July;).

omg i thought it was longer than that. its not too bad then lets hope england get knocked out asap :joker:

[Boothy]

I'm pretty sure Big Brother doesn't clash with any England matches so ratings shouldn't drop too much.

[arsenalforever]

We're always overhyped:rolleyes:, penalties do need a lot of work on lmao.

England have the easiest group on paper

and easiest last 16 game

i see them at least getting to the QF's

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

football can kiss my ass

[iRyan]

No I mean time as in clock.

[arsenalforever]

if the H/l's are on at 10pm they should be ok

[arsenalforever]

No I mean time as in clock.

Half 7 is when most of Englands matches are on

[bbfan1991]

thanks mate :)

I'm definetly going to try and watch both as much as possible:D. Not paying for LF though how about you?.

On paper is a different thing:p, anything is possible...

[Patrick]

Why exactly its not as if its clashing with the stupid football is it?

Its 2 days before it.

[bbfan1991]

Half 7 is when most of Englands matches are on

No last England match in the group stages against Slovenia is at 15:00:).

[Boothy]

if the H/l's are on at 10pm they should be ok

Yeah, they'd be pretty stupid not the structure BB around England's games.

[Twilight]

arsenaaalll:D your back, are you gonna stay for BB? :D

[Jayson]

If you post for BB11 like you did for BB10, you'll be in the 30k's by the final :p

[keithafc]

2 billion people are reported to be watching the opening ceremony this weekend..

[Glenn.]

Surprisingly BB does well when the World Cup is one. BB3 and BB7 were two of the most rated series weren't they? I have high hopes for BB11 and won't be watching the World Cup. I hate football!!

[arsenalforever]

I'm definetly going to try and watch both as much as possible:D. Not paying for LF though how about you?.

Not paying for Lf cause i'm not that nuts:joker:

i stick to the H/l shows and the great people on this forum to feed me with news

[arsenalforever]

If you post for BB11 like you did for BB10, you'll be in the 30k's by the final :p

Who me:hugesmile:

i was bad but BB10 during the first few weeks was brillant then it lost a few great Hm's then i lost interest and Sophie winning really ruined it.

[arsenalforever]

arsenaaalll:D your back, are you gonna stay for BB? :D

of course Twilight :)

maybe we will like the same HM like we did last year

[30stone]

World cup is bigger and more important.

Big brothers ratings wont be too bad due to most games being played earlier..

Only problem is world cup highlights

They will be on, around the same time which could affect them.

[Jayson]

True, Sophie should have never ever ever ever ever won it.

aww I remember our nights on here with MargeryFan and others, good times :joker:

Indeed:thumbs:. As much as I do have affection for BB it doesn't come nowhere near the footie for me:cool:.

[ourgus]

:nono:If you want to eff me off, invite me on a stag do during Englands first world cup game. She,s as numb as a post but wont let him change the date. Thick bitch.

[arsenalforever]

aww I remember our nights on here with MargeryFan and others, good times :joker:

they were fun alright:hugesmile:
Not if you were a Freddie fan they were tough times at the end:joker:

Yep Sophie won simply she was the only decent one left thats says a lot

The world cup will never be cancelled and is watched by Billions and yes its way more important.
BB i think won't do as well during the time its on but sure its got nearly two and a half months to go when the World cup ends so it will pick up.

There ain't been much hype for big brother either.. i've heard no one talk about it really apart from on this forum

I'll be paying alot more attention to the world cup but i hope BB get's solid ratings

[arsenalforever]

True.

i didn't even know it was starting until i saw a advert for it today:shocked:

[billy123]

at least 5 other big brother series have taken place when there has been a major championship either a world cup or european championship with england involved and it has made no real difference why should this time be any different :conf:
i think people are bored and making threads about anything now!

i cant wait until it starts so we have something to post about!

[BJ]

I shall be using the red button for BB if there's a clash with the WC. Sorry Rio won't be taking part

[Jase]

I dont think they clash, matchs kick off late at 7:30 i think bb starts at 9?

[30stone]

Yeah i havent heard anyone speak about it really at all, world cup will be my thing to watch, and ill just watch bb if im in..

True.

I didnt even know until this thread.. lol

[Novo]

Programme starts at 7:30 think the KO is at 8 so it would clash with Big brother

[Zippy]

There's always CH4+1. That should avoid clashes for many. Plus repeats.

[arsenalforever]

Programme starts at 7:30 think the KO is at 8 so it would clash with Big brother

yep if they are smart they start H/l's early or put it on at 11
