Well this is ****ing amazing news if true :amazed: CBB's should've stayed at the four week length that they were in the latter days of C4 anyway

Surely they can't do this though if they've all signed contracts for three weeks?

[jackc1806]

@bbspy: Big #CBB news - we're reliably informed the series is being EXTENDED. Will be announced tomorrow if true - if so, you heard it here first!

[Jake.]

Ohhhh

[erinp5]

Edward Gleave ‏@Ed_StarOnSunday
Have heard some MAJOR news about this series of #cbb All will be confirmed/revealed tomorrow morning. It's bigger and better than ever #omg

[jackc1806]

Beat me to the thread haha :laugh: Great news if true!

[MTVN]

Dunno how happy the celebs will be about that

[Daniel.]

Only good news if Luisa is there :love: It will drag without her

[PrincessIona]

Hope it's true, I'm loving this series

[Ramsay]

oh **** right off

[Jake.]

Dunno how happy the celebs will be about that

Just mess with the clock on the cooker and they won't know a thing anyway

[Me. I Am Salman]

Well if it is being extended I'm sure they would have planned it beforehand and told the housemates in secret

I know they have a habit of making things up as they go along but they can't do it in this case

[Stevep]

Any reason why they would make the decision half way through the series to extend? Presumably due to it being a success??

[jackc1806]

I suppose it'll be written in the contract

[jackc1806]

Any reason why they would make the decision half way through the series to extend? Presumably due to it being a success??

I'd imagine that's why

[jackc1806]

Hope this means they cancel summer CBB

[Firewire]

The contract probably says "Producers have the power to end the show beyond its initial finish date"

They wouldn't sign a 3 week contract anyway since they can be evicted

[erinp5]

Noooooooooooooooooo

[T*]

oh ****ing hell

[Apple202]

i guess any contestant who has commitments could walk, but that wouldn't be fair

[Me. I Am Salman]

Well if it is being extended I'm sure they would have planned it beforehand and told the housemates in secret

I know they have a habit of making things up as they go along but they can't do it in this case

Oh wait what am I saying they would intend it to be a surprise for the housemates
erm I dno

[Samm]

:/

[Samm]

It's been great so far tbh

[Kate!]

Really!?

[Moosething]

Yay i dont mind

[Kate!]

:amazed:

Is it what I've just read in another thread, that the show is being extended?

[Samm]

If the series is being extended to 4 weeks well maybe?

Then maybe there Doing this because there axing CBB in the summer they haven't telled us if they are doing the summer one yet

[Shaun]

I'm pretty sure they've done auditions for it...?

[jackc1806]

A guy on Twitter is saying extended by 4 days, dunno if that is true

[Rob!]

Seriously?? Wow.
As long as Lee is gone before this happens :joker:

[Samm]

I'm pretty sure they've done auditions for it...?

I'm talking about the summer CBB

[T*]

Nooooo

[Videostar]

It's the Star, don't get too excited, it's probably only that Charlotte is going in to piss on all their beds.

Actually, I never thought I'd hear myself say this but there may be a use for last years winner Sam...he could go in and try out his "chat up lines" on Luisa. :devil:

[Moosething]

Nooooo

Shh

[chuff me dizzy]

I doubt very much they can do that without their permission

[T*]

Shh

Nooooo

[Shaun]

Oh sorry :blush2: In that case that'd be good news :D

[Videostar]

Hope this means they cancel summer CBB

Yeah, what a great idea, cancel the real and better BB for CBB. :nono:

[Josiah.]

If it gets extended by 4 days, it will be the same length that CBB5 was; making it the longest C5 Celebrity BB ever.

[Jake.]

Yeah, what a great idea, cancel the real and better BB for CBB. :nono:

He didn't say that?

[Firewire]

If it gets extended by 4 days, it will be the same length that CBB5 was; making it the longest C5 Celebrity BB ever.

will probably be 7 days

[jackc1806]

Yeah, what a great idea, cancel the real and better BB for CBB. :nono:

Hope they cancel Summer CBB, not BB..

[Videostar]

He didn't say that?

Oh ok. sorry.

[Videostar]

Hope they cancel Summer CBB, not BB..

Sorry my bad. :blush:

[jackc1806]

Oh ok. sorry.

It's fine :D

[Brother Leon]

Good stuff if true. Makes it more important we keep the characters in though. Liz can go tomorrow.

[Rob!]

......There isn't the possibility that it could be the exact opposite and that the Star was telling the truth for the first time since 9/11 is there?

[Josy]

Hmmm not sure what I think about this, is there a reason for it? if so what could it be :shrug:

[Jake.]

Oh ok. sorry.

:laugh: sorry that came off more abrubt that what I thought it would, though I don't thank many would prefer another summer CBB in place of the normal civilian run

[Videostar]

It's fine :D

In that case I agree with you, summer CBB was always a waste of space and we've just about had enough of BB by then after the main summer show.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Knowing C5 they'll probably extend the summer CBB too..

[Videostar]

:laugh: sorry that came off more abrubt that what I thought it would, though I don't thank many would prefer another summer CBB in place of the normal civilian run

No, nor me, I scan read your post. :blush:

[Ramsay]

Hopefully that is the case

[Jack_]

They definitely have contracts which stipulate some kind of end date, it's the same for the civilian housemates too because I remember Jack and Joe discussing the finale date which was written in their contracts on the first days live feed - and IIRC in the end that finale date came true

I'd imagine it's maybe a contract with a four or five day space maybe either side so they have some leeway as to when to schedule the finale? Unless they're literally going to talk to the housemates and their agents and discuss a weeks extension?

It'll probably be a Tuesday final instead of the previous Friday or something, or maybe just two days? Interesting though

[Josy]

This could have posted in the thread we already have?

Merging.

[Firewire]

Hmmm not sure what I think about this, is there a reason for it? if so what could it be :shrug:

Ratings are strong, Channel 5 probably making the most of it

[Ithinkiloveyoutoo]

no you're right Sam they haven't telled us yet.

[jackc1806]

It looks like 4 days..

[Rob!]

To be fair though - the ratings are good yes, and they're ahead of last years celeb series, but they're not like MASSIVELY ahead.

[Videostar]

OR are they worried that Jim might actually win this now so are extending it to hope he puts his foot in it?

Is this there are reliable source for this info? it could easily be that theres a triple eviction, or that Brian Dowling is going in to resume the clash with Jim that Brian started on Hell's Kitchen.

That would be awesome :joker:

[Jack_]

This'll also help with evictions too if confirmed because if tomorrow doesn't somehow turn into a double we were looking at at least a six person final if Friday's and next Wednesday's evictions were doubles, and in a ninety minute show we'd have probably had 6th and 5th leaving together :bored:

This gives them an extra eviction, so we could get a final five if they did two doubles and two singles

[JohnnyBB]

OMG Amazeballs, they might have axed summer celeb bb.

[Samm]

[DigitalSid]

That or a scheduling decision. Would rather they extended the civilian series.

[Jack_]

Wouldn't be so sure about the axing of summer CBB, I know it's not been officially confirmed but there's been lots of references to 'well there's always the summer' on BOTS so far

Was last years summer CBB even confirmed properly?

[JohnnyBB]

its historic A reality show has never been extended before, during the series itself.

Hopefully C5 see that the summer series are **** and they always are

[Rob!]

If Luisa is evicted tomorrow, this will seem like a terrible idea as the love triangle isn't going to exactly flame up the series.

[erinp5]

So do the remaining Hms get an additional fee?

It looks like 4 days..

cheers ,is that from digiguide.

[Loukas]

If Luisa is evicted tomorrow, this will seem like a terrible idea as the love triangle isn't going to exactly flame up the series.

I'm voting for her to stay, i'm sorry i really like her but Liz needs to go tomorrow. I'd much rather see Jim being Jim, even though i don't like him i want to see arguments.

Then BB needs to have a nominations twist to put Sam, Jim and Linda up!

[Loukas]

oh and really happy about this news, now all the need to do is axe the summer CBB and save their money getting bigger stars to do a 4 week series in January

& bring back live feed :bigsmile:

Surely they can't do this though if they've all signed contracts for three weeks?

Maybe there was a clause in the contract about extending time in the house; I mean if there's a clause dictating that the money they get will be reduced if they walk out of the house then there are probably other clauses regarding time spent in the house too. This is great news! This series has been lightning in a bottle, quality television!

[zakman440]

:amazed: lets just hope this doesn't come out of civilian BB time.

[mrmattybeck1]

Great news loving this series its amazing:)

[*mazedsalv**]

The news is quite bizzare. Surely they can't randomly extend a series in the middle of its run? I'm pretty sure it would be the first time ever that this has happened :shocked:

[mrmattybeck1]

:amazed: lets just hope this doesn't come out of civilian BB time.

Agree would love to see civilian bb back to 12-13 weeks

[james130]

Good!
This and BB14 have been the best since before BB11.
Channel 5 are finally getting the tasks and casting just right.
We'll never have live feed back, but that's the one thing that has stopped this from being up there with CBB4 and BB7 for me,

[Firewire]

The news is quite bizzare. Surely they can't randomly extend a series in the middle of its run? I'm pretty sure it would be the first time ever that this has happened :shocked:

happened in the most recent bb australia series, it was extended by two weeks

[Matt]

The news is quite bizzare. Surely they can't randomly extend a series in the middle of its run? I'm pretty sure it would be the first time ever that this has happened :shocked:

Certainly in the UK, but not unheard of in the world of Big Brother - just last year Big Brother Australia extended its latest season by two weeks half way through.

I'm sure the housemates' contracts will cover this - they probably stipulate the housemate must be available for a maximum amount of days that accounts for a possible extension

[Josiah.]

Matt, I have to agree with you on this.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

:amazed: lets just hope this doesn't come out of civilian BB time.

This I would be so annoyed if it does, I much prefer civilian BB to CBB, but I totally have my doubts if this is true. especially as it came from the Daily Star.

[Pete.]

Only good news if Luisa is there :love: It will drag without her
:worship:

[Jamesy]

I think this shows that Big Brother still has a lot of life in it. If they're extending the series then that surely shows that not only this series is performing better than expected, but C5 are also happy with how the format is benefiting the channel overall?

It's great news either way.

I'm personally hoping summer CBB gets axed tbh and the main civilian series is extended by a week or two.

[Vanessa]

Great! Three weeks is too short. :dance:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Maybe they've got a surprise new housemate they couldn't resist signing up so extended it?

Someone like Janice Dickinson would be perfect.

[@bbuk_fans]

It's been confirmed now, final will be 28th

[daniel-lewis-1985]

When was it supposed to end?

That doesn't seem much of an extension to me, just a bit over 3 weeks as usual its random its on a Tuesday aswell.

I would rather it end on a Friday to be honest, makes the final more of an event.

Im thinking the real reason is Channel 5 have probably bought in some new American import they want to screen. With it being on a Tuesday theres no reason to split the final into 2 which is a positive though.

[jamiewordsley]

Might only be 4 days more BUT Its 4 days MORE wooooooooooooo

i can not tell you copy and pasts that from wikipedia :hehe:

[Beso]

Dunno how happy the celebs will be about that

It'll be for lees benefit, they will leave him in on his own shivering under a table in the kitchen.

[coolface]

how are they allowed to do this, they all signed contracts for 3 weeks

[daniel-lewis-1985]

how are they allowed to do this, they all signed contracts for 3 weeks

Did you see the contracts or something?

Big Brother can change the rules at anytime is pretty much the way it goes.

[zakman440]

:cheer2::cheer2: this is great, just as long as three things dont happen:

1) Luisa get's evicted (which leads me on to)
2) They keep on focusing on the ****ing love triangle
3) It doesn't shorten civilian Big Brother.

[Kate!]

Agreed that the final should be on a Friday, much better.

[Vanessa]

4 more days! :cheer2:

[HBB1508]

I'd have loved it to run for another week but I'll settle for 4 days something is better than nothing :)

[blisstheassassin]

Great news.

[cheeky_monkey]

Great news. :D

Just hope the entertaining housemates are at the final otherwise it's 4 extra boring episodes. lol

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I think this shows that Big Brother still has a lot of life in it. If they're extending the series then that surely shows that not only this series is performing better than expected, but C5 are also happy with how the format is benefiting the channel overall?

It's great news either way.

I'm personally hoping summer CBB gets axed tbh and the main civilian series is extended by a week or two.

I'm really hoping the summer CBB gets cancelled, too & the civilian series gets extended, I much prefer the civilian BB to CBB if I'm honest.

[Scream]

The only problem is i'm sure we're going to be left with Ollie and Sam...that's going to drag so much. Then probably Dappy and Jim??

:(

[reece(:]

Great news. :D

Just hope the entertaining housemates are at the final otherwise it's 4 extra boring episodes. lol
This, it will only be worthwhile if Luisa is still in

[cheeky_monkey]

This, it will only be worthwhile if Luisa is still in

I agree I want Luisa to get to the final she's so entertaining and yesterday's episode was funny. lol

[Tom4784]

It'll be something that has been planned in advance and discussed thoroughly with the celebs beforehand, they wouldn't risk half of the celebs leaving because they have other jobs lined up after the original end date.

[Jamesy]

how are they allowed to do this, they all signed contracts for 3 weeks

I'd assume their contracts either sate that the producers can change the finale date at their own discretion - or it states that they must leave +/- 7 days of the penned in finale date as broadcasting may change.

Maybe they've got a surprise new housemate they couldn't resist signing up so extended it?

Someone like Janice Dickinson would be perfect.

If they have got another celeb in the line them they need to put the new celeb in either tonight or Friday. Otherwise an additional housemate is pointless.

[Tregard]

Is this confirmed yet?
