[SharkAttack]

Heh. I think both of these guys suffer from dyslexia(the best excuse people have nowadays for bad grades in school, btw), it's the 43rd of May to be precise, JP.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I think its in May. Hope its towards the end though

[Patrick]

You do know.. every single year, we usually don't know the launch date - until literally, a week before it?

And the whole forum ends up bitching and speculating about what day the series will launch on.

..You're asking us this, in February?

[Petershaw1984]

Heard it was may but it's only from this forum and ds when it's been memtioned

[Ammi]

looool!

I reckon that channel 5 will try and time it around the time that their Dallas revamp airs. If i had to pick a date for the launch it'd be Thursday 10th May. Just a guess though.

I have heard it's either May 5th or May 11th, it was mentioned on Big Brothers Bit on the Side, plus look in wiki it also states May if you scroll to the bottom.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, if they're really planning on cramming a second CBB series in before Christmas then they'll most likely start it in early May to end in July and then have CBB in September.

Fingers crossed that was all lies though.

People saying May - you all have to remember that you're going on the words of Jamie East...

Which is damn more reliable than some FM's guesses.

Yes but you cant write bull**** cos they can detect it and change it.

[Jarrod]

I've worked out, if they want a 64 day series before the Olympics, it can launch on Thursday 17th May and end on Friday 20th July 2012. Lasting 64 days.

[Patrick]

Don't know why they even care about the Olympics anyway - who even watches them? :idc:

[JohnnyBB]

11th may

[Jarrod]

11th may

A Saturday... Right...

Who works on the show. The Olympics are in July so it won't launch in June. 10th of May IMO.

George Lamb worked on the show too, people didn't exactly take everything he said for granted did they? :laugh:

Meh. I'm fine with a May launch - gives time to talk about it in school and stuff, and doesn't take up too much Summer.
I'll be pissed if we get 24/7 Live Feed though then.

[JohnnyBB]

its a friday :)

Genius :worship:

[Me. I Am Salman]

64 days is so crap
I want it to be 90 days :suspect:

[SharkAttack]

It's the new format, apparently. Mid-sized regular BB and two 20-25 dayers for the celebs. Get used to it.

[Marsh.]

90 days is way too much. Of all the series that stretched to 13/14 weeks I only really liked BB7. But even that grew stale by week 10/11.

Short and sweet and finishing when you're wanting more is for the best. Nothing worse than a series dragging itself slowly to the final. (I'm looking at you BB10).

[NiallMcCarthy]

I'm looking at you BB10

:joker::joker::joker:

[Rob]

I'm happy with a shorter to be honest, i think alot of people are forgetting that big brother was CANCELLED. So let's be happy that it's on at all, as as for 2 CBB's. Go ahead :)

I think the wide speculation is that it's likely to launch in mid-may (Just like the good old C4 days :) ) to finish before the olympics, and with BGT starting in March this would slot in perfectly. Who knows we might get a longer series next year? Schedules are just very tight this year with Euro 2012 and the Olympics.

[Scotty07]

The three month BB marathon back please.:love: No nominations for at least two weeks.:)

[billy123]

I hope its longer than 10 weeks last series it felt really conceived at 10 weeks like they were desperate to ram it with every possible eventuality rather than let it bubble and happen naturally it should be 12 weeks minimum.

[Petershaw1984]

Why would it have to be shorter for the olympics? I think it will start may 24th and end august the 17th lasting around 85 days .

Ideally 78-85 days would be enough for me so 11-12 week of bb.

Maybe

[emmetmcl]

Ideally I would prefer the start of July, as I have Leaving Cert exams at the start of June and the Euros are on.

But anyway, 60 odd days seems better than 90 to me.
I usually lose interest in the longer series for a week or two near the end, but still try to watch LOL.

60 day BB and 2 CBB's - that seems fine to me.

[DigitalSid]

Might be the first week of May and be on for 12 weeks, Jamie East was filming something at the house today and there's a coming soon page on Applause Store for tickets:
