I want big brother back!!!

[Captain.Remy]

But not on Channel 5!!!

It's going to be so cheesy, cheap and so The Only Way is Essex :shocked:

It will be full of brainless blondes and useless all muscled up hunks. All boring of course.

I don't want that to happen, I want my BB on C4 back and we should already have been in BB season at this time of the year: house pictures, eye, adverts etc..

I want Victor, Makosi, Charley and some other BB legends back.

Or at least give me BB Australia back. I miss that show so much sometimes. (downloading Aussie BB 05)

[Shaun]

I know, Rémy :( I know

[Patrick]

Give it a bloody chance first.
Jesus.

[Benjamin]

I had hopes for a good return but my hopes are fast decreasing and I reckon by the time it comes on I'll not actually care anymore.

Agreed.

It's inevitably going to just absoloutely blow. Channel 4 was BB's home for better or worse.

Channel 5 will take the law of diminishing returns to a whole new low.

Name me one good C5 show. One. :nono:

And home and away!!

[Shaun]

I said good

[Patrick]

I can't :bawling::bawling:


But everyone keeps thinking because the rest of the C5 Shows [most of which aired before Desmond fully took over] were crap then BB12 will be aswell.

Desmond obviously knows Big Brother is the best thing the channel have ever been given, ever - so they'll put their back in to it.

I'm not saying it's going to be brilliant; infact I think we will all be dissapointed - even if it is good; simply because we won't be use to it.

But people should stop the whole 'Oh it won't be the same without Davina' or 'Channel 5 is crap, it'll be boring on there.' etc etc

[the_last_remaining_fan]

As ive said before, it probably will suck, but as the guy up there says, at least give it a chance and see if you want to gouge your eyes out on launch night, rather than slate it before its even begun.

[Jords]

Give it a bloody chance first.

:worship:

[Jordan.]

Surely with Endemol still producing its going to be exactly the same just on a **** channel? :shrug:

[Doogle]

I'm gonna enjoy it no matter what. I've only seen one proper series anyway. :joker:

[Patrick]

I had hopes for a good return but my hopes are fast decreasing and I reckon by the time it comes on I'll not actually care anymore.

Why exactly?

We've gotten barely any news and any news we have got has been pretty good for example:

The House returning
The 24hr Live Feed returning + multiple cameras
BBLB Returning
Prize Fund changing
Desmond wanting to return to the 'roots' of the show
The Theme of the Series
Daniel Eatock returning
Marcus Bentley returning

Personally I think all that news is great.

Any other 'news' has just been The Daily Star trying to create silly hype for the show by talking about potential housemates, that won't even enter the house anyway.

Honestly the only bad news is that Josie MIGHT be presenting BBLB and that CBB8 will air first. :bored:

But not on Channel 5!!!

It's going to be so cheesy, cheap and so The Only Way is Essex :shocked:



...which airs on ITV2

[seanraff07]

It will be different, but bring it on!

[MeMyselfAndI]

The Only Way Is Essex is awesome anyway

[Patrick]

Surely with Endemol still producing its going to be exactly the same just on a **** channel? :shrug:

LOL Exactly.

Channel 5 will only have a say on what is shown on their channel, and we all know they don't really give a ****** what's shown on there as long as it gets people talking about their show.

[dizzy bint]

I'm looking forward to it.

[Stu]

Surely with Endemol still producing its going to be exactly the same just on a **** channel? :shrug:
Remarkable used to make it but Initial are doing it now which in itself will bring big changes because the entire production team is different. And I'm guessing the channel that comissioned it will have a big say in the tone and advertising of the show even if they aren't producing.

I'll probably hate it. I hated last year because they tweaked it with the likes of the music, robots, people who weren't housemates coming in and out, etc. When I say I like Big Brother I really just liked the core format, twists etc. The way the series was for ten years. I highly doubt those days are coming back. I can see it going further down last years path of constant interference and trying to make it a show it's not.

The show I was a fan of isin't coming back, IMO. Hope I'm wrong.

[Matt]

Not entirely - one of the BB11 executive producers is keeping her job and a former Big Mouth exec prod is in charge of spin-offs

[Patrick]

Wonderful. :bored:

[Stu]

one of the BB11 executive producers is keeping her job
:bawling:

Is that Sharon? Or were they crazy enough to give her the boot again after the brilliant CBB revival?

Wait I don't think that was her. I'm getting my names mixed up. Whoever Exec produced 2004 anyway. I love that girl. And would be shocked if she had a hand in BB11.

[Matt]

:bawling:

Is that Sharon? Or were they crazy enough to give her the boot again after the brilliant CBB revival?

You mean Shirley Jones - she wasn't on the BB11 team. Sharon (Powers) works on Loose Women now :laugh:, though she was involved in Ultimate Big Brother.

I'm talking about Katy Smith - I believe she was the one who went on maternity leave half way through last years series (some of the team threw a party for her in the house as part of the Ignore The Obvious task).

[Stu]

Shirley 'I want to spin people around until they get sick' Jones. That's the one. Why the hell would they not get her to do series 11 after the wonders she done with CBB that year. Madness.

She's sexy too.

Capt Remy
Ch5HD Big Brother
is like no other - in a good way.


King Desmond dug it out of the Evil Ch4 Grave.


Have Some Faith Frog

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Ok!

Why would anyone want Big Brother back on Channel 4? A Channel that didnt want and was ashamed of it.

Channel 4 killed the show by treating the public like we couldnt handle seeing drunk people, a boob here and there and editing out and censoring anything remotley controverical (ie entertaining) as they were afraid they would offend.

Even the housemates were commenting on how tame last years was.

Im sure we all want Big Brother back in peoples faces like it was in the golden years.

DRUNKENESS, BITCHING, FIGHTING, NAKEDNESS, PARTIES, LAUGHTER.....

Channel 5 want the show! They are creaming their pants over it and will give it 110%!!!! This is a channel that is not afraid to be controvercial, Infact they welcome it. Its what BB deserves.

Channel 4 are so 2010 bring on Channel 5 and a new era of BIG BROTHER in 2011!!!!

[arista]

"Channel 5 and a new era in BIG BROTHER for 2011!!!! "


Yes our French-Ruskie Frog

If you think this is not the reason then shows how "nieve" you are.

It is a popular show coz its cheesy, fluffy entertainment which isnt a bad thing i love the show.

Tell me why you think its popular then Mr Hudson?

Good post Patrick. If Marcus wasn't coming back, it would probably end up being the worst series ever but it seems Desmond will want to improve on it. Desmond will know what makes it good.

[JohnnyBB]

aslongs as sharon powers and PEJ have nothing to do with the show itll be safe, it will be nice haveing a new younger creative dierector willing to take risks and not sitting on his fat arse, thats what we need!

Give it a bloody chance first.
Jesus.

Be quiet Patrick when your God Remy is talking. Thanks.

Let's move on. It's not just about C5, I just want the whole BB on C4 atmosphere back. I grew up with this show. I know it sounds a bit sad and stupid but this is why my English is that good. I love this show but I'm not having a good vibe from C5.

I want it back. Period.

What like being PC?
The housemates not being able to move without C4 being pissed off?

I get what you mean about the show, but that's only up to BB7.
Since then Channel 4 just wanted rid of it.

Channel 5 are hungry for it - just like C4 were back in the day.

[Callum]

I feel sorry for the people auditioning for it, Channel 5 don't have the funds like C4 did. Plus like someone else said, who actually watches Channel 5? It's ratings are always lacklustre. It's going to look cheap and the tasks will be crap. It's funny how people think C5 will end up luring big names for the Celeb Version, they blew their budget on buying the show. I can see them sticking with the silly gimics from BB11 too, like music on evictions and getting the housemates to perform for the crowd. Just let it die already. :bored:

It's going pure trash and back to classic BB on C5 because they wont cut everything controversial out like C4 did.

I can just imagine now everyone running around the house with their tits out like BB5.

Bring it on :amazed:

You're right about CBB, that's why they should just ******ing ditch the whole CBB8 Launch in Summer and just start with BB12, no one actually cares about Celebrity Big Brother.

It's the return of Big Brother, no one is anticipating the return of CBB.

And no one watches Channel 5 because for years Channel 5 has had an owner who didn't care about it, put on horrible shows that 4 people watched.

Why the hell do you think they got Big Brother for?

Just because C5's figures haven't always been amazing - doesn't mean it'll affect Big Brother's ratings.
People see Big Brother advertised [and it will be all over the Daily Star] - they tune in and watch it on C5 and then turn off afterwards.

Simple as that really.

Not being miserable, just stating what a lot of people think.

CBB actually got more ratings than BB especially in later years so I can see why they want to show that one first. The z-listers will be worse than normal though, because Channel 5 don't have the money to pull in any big names.

Also I hate how the normal BB will air so soon after CBB, it's BB overload. Just too much of it and I don't think viewers will appreciate that. They should have waited longer to launch the normal one than put it on straight after CBB.

Hasn't the owner been in charge for a while now though? I see no major change in Channel 5's ratings since his reign.

A lot of people said goobye to BB last year though. They even had a funeral for it. This idea of bringing it back could totally backfire on them, people these days are more interested in talent reality shows and the interest for BB has declined. It'll probably start off with good ratings initially but I doubt it'll be able to maintain them. If C4 couldn't, Channel 5 doesn't stand a chance.

Daily Star? The reputation of that paper has never been good and having BB plasted over it's front cover on a daily basis won't change that. The Sun is the UK's best selling newspaper and I can't see it giving C5's BB much coverage since it didn't with BB10/BB11. I doubt it will get promo through billboards/TV ads neither which would have helped a huge amount.

Still, I do hope it does well because I've always liked the show but my expectations for it aren't very high.

In fact im slightly worried there would be millions and millions of viewers!!!

And Channel 5 HAVE the funds.

They have all the means for great tasks and a great house.

Oh and btw they had music on evictions in BB2 aswell so its not just a new cheesy gimmick.

[the_last_remaining_fan]

There's basically 2 months to go and still no sign of even a bloody presenter...the mind boggles.

Yeah, I think even if it's a f--king amazing series, an August to February run will basically annoy the biggest fan. It will be like 7 months... shoot me.

It is good news so far and especially anytime I hear 'return to roots'.
The law of diminishing returns worries me when I see it scheduled to return this Summer (even if later).
It makes me think a quick money-grabber is being thrown to squeeze the fastest 'diminishing return' as possible,
which...
...also makes me think of 5 stupid blonde fake-boobed 21 year olds and 5 flamboyant gays and 5 arrogant model boys.

But I agree with some posters here saying everyone needs to stop expecting C4 Big Brother.
Its over.
Not only that but don't decide anything that is different is somehow wrong or some kind of problem.

[ElProximo]

Not all of us auditioning want there to be millions of viewers. I want the experience. PERIOD!


There is this attitude in the UK which has it that BB is a type of program where people who want attention try and beg for it.

And you can blame BB itself for fueling that, picking that type and even juicing them up for it,
but,
you are right that for a lot of people this is about a fascinating, difficult, surreal, emotional and psychological test. They want the challenge to shyness or fear of public exposure.

I enjoyed BB MUCH MORE when that was actually the sort of central 'theme' or 'test' of the whole thing - can ordinary folks even tolerate fame and notoriety?
Will they crack from the pressure? Shrink? Come out of their shells? Is it even fair or 'moral' to watch them?
Admire them for giving up all privacy?

But if you mention BB in the UK you probably get the response "Oh ya a bunch of undeserving fame-seeker wannabe etc etc"

But again.. maybe BB is to blame for that when they make a point of finding those.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

If you wanna see where BB all began and the real social experiment everyone wants back.

Come and watch the original Big Brother in the bb1 forum.

Will be posting an episode per day.

Launch and episode 2 are up now.
