I'm glad CBB is more than two weeks, I didn't feel like that would've been enough. At least it won't be off our screens before BB12 launches.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Happy with that:)
22 days is a perfect time as we actually get to know the Housemates

And thankgod the launch of BB12 isn't on the same day as the CBB Final.

[LaLaLand]

Very happy with that, can't wait!

[Novo]

It's going to be weird having a normal Big Brother straight after a Celebrity one

[billy123]

[Jords]

[Ramsay]

How long will normal BB be?

[Firewire]

10 weeks, I presume.

[Beastie]

Brilliant news!! And CBB lasting 3 weeks! Not too long. Not too short!

[Firewire]

This has now been officially confirmed by Channel 5.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

First post updated with the show times.

Sorry just read it on DS & i thought the news had just came out today. If one of the mods wants to delete this thread, that would great.

Here's the bad news - the first half hours of both the final and the launch will clash with ITV's new Simon Cowell gameshow Red Or Black?

[bbfan1991]

Good news:):D.

Seriously? That sucks! Red Or Black? will get about 12m. Hopefully all the viewers will tune in at 10pm for the rest of the show.

Was officially confirmed today, but was rumoured last week. I'm sure a mod will merge the threads :).

[Blog Rider]

Interesting but on Thursday there is something better on as its not Summer any-more :)

[BJ]

Fantastic news.

[fingers]

So why can't they just come out and say that there will be NO LiveFeed for BB!2 - that way most of us can plan on giving it a body-swerve.

[Joelle.]

Red and Black? just sounds like a rehash of the dreadful Justin Lee Collins gameshow Heads or Tails, which funnily enough was on C5. Its guaranteed to get good ratings if Ant and Dec and Cowell are involved and the fact that its on ITV...

[Novo]

How long will BB12 last for?

[Firewire]

That hasn't been revealed, I expect 10-13 weeks.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

How long will BB12 last for?

Im sure i read somewhere before CBB started that the normal BB would be on for 10 weeks, but dont quote on that, i maybe mistaken.

[Callum]

Good to hear

[Vicky.]

Wow, only a day inbetween :shocked:

[Novo]

I feel sorry for the normal housemates when they go in there the lingering smell from Darryn's pink Robe will finish them off one by one it will be like they are being sent to a gas chamber
