[Captain.Remy]

Possible but it certainly won't be next year or at anytime in the foreseeable future.

[Rob]

Sorry can't say, it's not been made official yet, but I'm assured it's true by someone who get's early press releases.

So not Offical = Not Confirmed which then entails a load of BS you have just made up.

[Jase]

And that would get press release would it :S

[Ryan57]

No offence but, I will take this with a pinch of salt. I always prefer to have a source.

[Captain.Remy]

:laugh: COME ON PATRICK !!!!

For once, we need you to post somewhere.

[King Gizzard]

Ive had it confirmed by my sources too.

[Patrick]

Yeah whatever.

No source, then we call bullsh*t on this.
Provide a source or don't make a pointless thread.

[Bigbrofan25]

where is the the source for this???

[Rob]

Yeah whatever.

No source, then we call bullsh*t on this.

For once I agree with you. :)

[Captain.Remy]

Oh come on, you can do better than this....

[Rob]

there isn't it's BS

[cub]

Let it burn! Let it burn!

[King Gizzard]

I would welcome the news though

We need a 2 year break

[fingers]

Not everything can be attributed without compromising the source.

[Livia]

Sorry can't say, it's not been made official yet, but I'm assured it's true by someone who get's early press releases.

The the information would have been under an embargo. Hope they've got another job lined up...

[mike888]

Fair enough but I'm only passing on information that was given in confidence. If my source sees this thread I'll never hear the end of it.

To be honest I really hope it is BS but I'm afraid it's not.

I think your source may well be in deep sh!t if this was an embargoed Press Release!

[Jase.]

Nothing official, so this thread might aswell be deleted.

[Jack_]

Yeah, I thought this would be the case, sadly. They seem to have really been playing on the 'last ever' thing the last few days, when for the last few weeks they haven't mentioned it at all, and if they have if it was 'the last ever on C4'...

Some of the sadness was taken away by the fact that it might return next year [albeit probably worse], but getting the news that it won't be returning this close to the end is just awful and would be really, really disappointing. I somehow hope it isn't the case...but I think it is.

[Patrick]

Oh come on, you can do better than this....

Yeah but Big Brother is on and I was rushing back LOL

[mike888]

I think your source may well be in deep sh!t if this was an embargoed Press Release!


Do you think I don't know that? I was in 2 minds whether to put this thread on but I'll never reveal the source so they have no worries.

Well said.

They have been emphasizing the 'EVER' part ALOT :rolleyes: And yeah, the whole build up and the UBB thing has been like 'Yah whatever' for alot of weeks because we're like 'It'll be back on Channel Five' but IF this random poster IS telling the truth it basically means we've all been slapped on the face with about 24 hours to go until the last ever episode and we've all just been told 'LOL No seriously, this is the last ever Big Brother'

[Livia]

Do you think I don't know that? I was in 2 minds whether to put this thread on but I'll never reveal the source so they have no worries.

Not a very trustworthy thing to do... if it is true. And if they told you, they told other people. Very professional. Again, if it's true.

[Callum]

Probably not true, I hope it takes a long break though.

[mike888]

Agree... I'm really hoping this is made official soon because it was given in confidence and on a bit of a guilt trip now.

[Jamietwo]

oh good , i wouldn't want to see endemol do it again, it needs a whole new production team, more risk taking and alcohol

[BBfan46]

It's like our titanic has just set course for the iceberg :(

[bigbrothermaniac008]

I think there're joking to get everyone worried.

[mike888]

It's Endemol's show, I doubt if they would ever sell the rights to another programme maker, the show's too big for that to happen.

[Patrick]

Jesus Christ.

You do know Endemol OWN BIG BROTHER, AROUND THE WORLD.

They decide what goes, Jesus.
It's Channel 4 that's became PC, Endemol would love the show to go on that's why they offered C4 another contract to which those dicks turned down.

You really need to get your facts right, NO ONE would ever buy Big Brother off Endemol to produce it.
A Broadcaster could air it, but no one can decide they will take the Big Brother programme off it's daddy Endemol.

[SocietyIsRuined]

If it has to end then it has to end. Endemol should be ashamed of themselves for the last 5 years.

Um..

Big Brother 6, Big Brother 7, Big Brother 9, Big Brother 10 and Big Brother 11 were very good series.

Stop talking out your arse.

ok ! i didn't know is it.... endemol.... sounds like a suppository manufacturer. anyway... someone did reality tv before endemol. they could just do a different format and call it something different...or something...

[SocietyIsRuined]

Big Brother 6 & 7 yes, the rest are the most awful things to ever appear on television. BB11 was awful beyond belief. Ultimate BB was its shining light.

Big Brother 10 & 9 were dreadful, not even worthy of being called Big Brother. The golden years were BB1 - BB7. Anything after that apart from UBB were utter crap.

[Patrick]

Different Format and A New Name?

Then it's hardly Big Brother at all, you wouldn't watch it or know it's meant to be Big Brother if it's got a new name and a new format.

Big Brother 9 and 10 are VERY VERY under rated especially Series 9, UBB hasn't even been that good either it's been such a let down as the ratings show.


I fully expected the nation to be buzzing with UBB and the ratings to be brilliant but no.. Infact BB11 got more love than this little 2 week series which I am highly shocked at lol

[billy123]

Mike888 is living proof if you post enough piss poor made up crap some of it has to be right! only 2 weeks ago he made this thread about his "inside info" claiming c5 had bought it and were just waiting to announce it :crazy::crazy::crazy:

Who cares about the ratings? Big Brother 9 and 10 are not underrated, the series peaked at BB7. Ultimate BB is a closure to what BB8, BB9, BB10 and BB11 were. The tweenies have taken over and it shows.

Can't see where he claimed that it was a "done deal".

"Richard Desmond owner of The Daily Star and now Five tv is expected to make an announcement shortly that Five will be screening the next series of Big Brother.

It's about 90% certain that Five tv will take over the show next year following talks with Endemol. If all goes according to plan the announcement is planned to coincide with the finish of Ultimate Big Brother."

Certainly seems that it WON'T be coinciding with the end of UBB! which lends a bit of credence to today's thread!

[CaudleHalbard]

he claims to have an insider at managerial level at the daily star and started a thread telling entitled announcement soon wtf are you on about.

Yeah, and pigs fly. :laugh2:

[ElProximo]

Too many people in here had the misunderstanding Big Brother was simply moving to another Channel and be back as usual as 'BB12'.
This was NEVER the plan anyways.
Even if a deal was being planned it was not a case of 'BB moving to C5' like you would just update your channel guide or something.

EVEN IF C5 had this wrapped up they made it clear there were no actual plans to start a new season at this time.
(which is like saying forget it for at least a few more years).

What people don't really know (and why would they) but all kinds of television stations have all kinds of 'rights' to all kinds of programs long since off the air, never made, sometimes MADE but never aired,
some are 'shelved'.
Other times its simply a business buy-out. To make sure nobody else can do it.
Business stuff.

I'm thinking it would be quite cool if C5 got the rights and then maybe let a year or two pass.
then put together some entirely different sort of new generation BB which may even be an 'old school' purist version and aimed at an older more sophisticated audience,
but,
At this time I say it looks gone for a long time.

Then I will laugh, you've been told this is the last one, they dont have to make anymore on C5.......its just people not willing to realise its been dead for about 4 years.

[Tom4784]

Unless a source can be provided I wouldn't take any notice.

[Mystrios]

I cant see channel 4 giving up BB to be honest...

It will come back in about 5 years as a big massive thing with no BB Sister Shows (BBLB + BBBM)

Wonder what channel 4 are going to do in the mean time... Probably more Come dine with me followed by an evening repeat of Hollyoaks...... you know thats what it is going to be ;P

Its the Thought of BB coming back 100% even if not at this time that gives me Solice in the fact that C5 might be taking over

Are you Richard Branson?

[ILoveTRW]

Thank God

[Chuckyegg]

I wish it was true but unfortunately i happen to know for a fact that you are wrong.

[THE WATCHER]

C5 would be taking on a monster, thats what BB has become. It lost its innocence and integrity after series 4, from series 5 on it became a freakshow, full of wannabees, models, HMs with serious attitude and psychological problems, anti-social misfits and too many cardboard characters to boot. It was once pleasant viewing, I looked forward to each days viewing, but that started to change from series 5. By the time 8 came along I almost vowed never to watch the crap again, but I persevered, but let down again and again with the meddling, manipulation and downright fixing by BB time and time again. I rolled my eyes when Sophie won last year. Came to anger and despair when Hippo was GIVEN the win this year. Have persevered watching this UBB but to be honest I'll be mighty happy to see the back of Big Brother for a while. Give it a year or two or three, maybe C5 can totally reincarnate BB to its former glory. A very tough task indeed but hope they might pull it off.

Lol nice paragraph there! :hugesmile:

Lol at.... "When Hippo was given the win" :laugh2:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

The only reason this slightly upsets me is because the loser that i am i wanted to apply.

However

I fully welcom a 2 year break and would like to see it re-launch itself in a big way!

BigBrotherOnline is just a fan site & their "insider" is just as likely to be someone on MSN.

[cheapbbfan]

Now its confirmed? I thought it was confirmed to be over last summer...lol

[Jarvio]

If Channel 5 do buy it, they should still give it a few year's break as people have already stated.

I know it's nowhere near a similar show, but I could use Futurama as an example, it was axed by Fox, took years absence after that, and then eventually brought back by comedy central and now it's massive again. Would be nice if a similar situation happened with BB.
