Back To Reality: The last time Channel 5 did Big Brother...

[MargeryFan]

It went from 1.8m viewers to 700,000 in one night.

Does anyone remember a reality show on c5 a few years ago with Jade Goody, Nast Nick etc? It was called Back To Reality. It was almost exactly like Big Brother and it starred ex housemates and celebs. The outside of the house looked pretty epic too, it looked like a mansion.

Ricardo off the salon was epic in that. Throwing plates all over the house lol

Was that the one with the gobby yorkshire one off Wife swap on it? Yes the Josie body double?

[supergirthuk]

Wasnt Jade's fella on it too?

He was definitely on it! I had totally forgotten about him.

Rings a bell but i'm not sure who you mean.

Wasnt Jade's fella on it too?

Possibly, I've forgotten most of the contestants but this does sound right.

Big brother would be a disaster on 5.

5 could revitalise BB.

[Chuckyegg]

You moaners think it's bad now. Just wait.

This was years ago, Desmond will change Five.

5 could revitalise BB.

I could be wrong but i seriously dont think it would. All the die hards will probs continue watching but a good chunk of the channel 4 audience will stop. Cant actually pinpoint why, but for me theres something about CH5 that is just off putting. Everything feels cheap and tacky on 5.

[Chuckyegg]

Does anyone ever watch Channel 5? What's on it?

lol exactly. I flick through channels 1-4, then various sky channels. 5 is always missed out, never anything good on it.

^ This.

It says on the wiki article that the main reason the show failed was lack of tabloid interest, well with Desmond owning the Daily Star, Ok & New magazine I doubt that would happen

[Omah]

BTR were brilliant - James getting very, very pissed and trying to pull any blonde in sight ..... :laugh:

[LaLaLand]

That show was epic.

Jade Goody was vile on it, horrible cow. Poor Rik Waller is all I can say (never thought I would!)

This is a pretty interesting article on why the show failed by the independat: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/channel-fives-plan-to-boost-flop-acircpound5m-reality-show-screen-more-of-it-570750.html
