[John15]

Whoo May 10th is my birthday! :spin2:

[BigSister]

nah it wont be then i think it will be the 17th/18th or 24th/ 25th of may depending how long they want it to be

[Razmataz]

Big Brother 8. I think they will start it on 25th, reason being as it's Half term the day it starts so then there is a week where it can grab it's audience with May day being the 7th this year, I doubt 10/11th is possible.

I wonder if they'll keep us waiting like they did last year.:sad:

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

i found out last year it started on may 18th

[Emilee]

Im so excited!

[andybigbro]

Hmm i wonder when it is its usually Mid May though

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

the rumoured lauch date now is thursday 24th of may!

It was because Celebrity X Factor and Love Island started near enough the same time as BB7. Big Brother didn't want to loose it's viewers to them basically.

[TheTX]

BB6 began on 27th May
BB7 started on 18th May

So we really don't have a clue

there have been reports of a June Launch

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

the rumoured start date on the forum is now the 7th of May - a lot earlier than the last one! does anyone know why this is!!??:puzzled:

I thought the rumoured start date on this forum was Friday 25th May.
There is a countdown thread here, and we are also speculating on this...

[The-Big-Brother-prince]

BB8= 11th May 2007

well at least thats what i hope lol




:laugh:

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

ok thanks crikilburn - this is a week later than last years? :thumbs:

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

I hope BB8 starts on Friday 25th May, so that I can have 1 week without school to get my first impressions of the housemates.

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

I know. BB always changes the week it starts per year. If you exclude BB1, BB2, BB3 and BB4 all started on the penultimate week (25th, 24th and 23rd respectively). People thought BB5 would start on 21st (not 22nd because 2004 was a leap year), but it started in the last week of May, and so did BB6 (28th and 27th respectively).
But now, it has gone back to the penultimate week, and a Thursday.

yes - also i hope it starts that 1 week in the half-term in may - so i can watch all the live feed and get to know the housemates more

[XxPrInCeSs-MaYxX]

hi everyone - i did create this post as you would of read in my other thread! the date on the forums the 25th of may!

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

i think its lasting 12 weeks - 1 week shorter than last years!

[Stentionhouse]

Originally posted by xPrInCeSs-MaYx

If it's 12 weeks it'll start on 18 May, 11 weeks means a 25 May start. 12 is the most likely, I think.

[Chrizzle]

It better not effing start on 18th May, thats my prom!:mad:

[BigSister]

that happened with BB4 for me Chris but it was "night" before BB4 started hehe
Crickey thats 4 yeras this summer *dies*
I read somewhere it was shorter than last years i think its gonna be 25th because thats when it usually starts apart from BB7

[Emilee]

I really cant wait now. I really hope they get some great people in.

[the_chosen_one]

Oops. I started a conversation on the same subject.:laugh: lol sorry:dance:

:xyxwave:

www.uknova.com It's a torrent site. Every episode of Big Brother is posted there while the series is on air (plus occasional reposts, such as the recent complete run of eFourum from 2004). Membership is always full but if you try now and again, you will eventually get in. I rarely watch BB as it happens. I prefer to d/l episodes and watch them later. Which probably how I ended up with all this *points to big pile of BB DVDs*:tongue:

I keep all of mine on an external hard drive. :) Only about 100 bucks (Uh...50 quid?) for 250 GB, I save all of my videos to it and watch it from there.

Anway, I think it really depends on how long the span of the series is planned to be.

[cc100]

It says on Teletext that Dermot will be hosting BBLB 'from June'....................:mad:

[BigSister]

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

people are now speculating its the 16th!(of may)

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

on the bbuksite its now rumoured to be running for a total of 15 weeks - thats two weeks longer than last years!

[andybigbro]

i Hope its 16th may or 25 th of may

[MarkWaldorf]

16th May would better, only cause it's less time to wait.

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

is the 16th of may a friday?

[MarkWaldorf]

Wednesday :conf:

Yeah but i am not off school then lol and i'd like to be off the whole day it starts But yeah 16TH OF MAY hopefully:hello:

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

im not off either - which would meen i probably wouldn't be able to watch the live feed after the launch show

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

if its the 16th of may thats a wednesday - also celebrity big brother this year started on a wednesday too- im now thinking this is probably when its going to start - so how many days now -40 something?

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

big brother 8 is starting at 8:30 this year for the launch night

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

Originally posted by xPrInCeSs-MaYx

Does it? How do you know? Well, I hope it starts at 8.30pm like BB4. It just made it better for all ther other late shows to watch later.

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

here is the link:

http://www.bigbrothersite.co.uk/guide.php

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

Does anyone know when Desperate Housewives ends? Becuse this could tell us when BB8 starts.

[andybigbro]

No sorry but would desperate housewives be after big brother anyway

Because Big brother is usually on at 9 and Desperate housewives is at 10

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

Originally posted by andybigbro

Well, prior to BB7, Big Brother would be on at 10.00pm (except Saturday and Sunday). But in the last week of BB7, it was switched from 9.00pm to 10.00pm, because Channel 4 didn't want to help ITV's Celebrity Love Island with its ratings.
10pm slot is better, so do you know when DH ends?

[andybigbro]

I think itsa the end of April or in the midst of May

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

I think I now when it ends!


Series 3 aired the same night as CBB5, between 9.30pm and 11.30pm because there was a double-bill. In total, there will be 23 episodes. So, here is the rota so far:

03.01 - Episode 1 and Episode 2
10.01 - Episode 3
17.01 - Episode 4
24.01 - Episode 5
31.01 - Episode 6
07.02 - Episode 7
14.02 - Episode 8
21.02 - Episode 9
28.02 - Episode 10
07.03 - Episode 11
14.03 - Episode 12
21.03 - Episode 13
28.03 - Episode 14
04.04 - Episode 15
11.04 - Episode 16
18.04 - Episode 17
25.04 - Episode 18
01.05 - Episode 19
08.05 - Episode 20
15.05 - Episode 21
22.05 - Episode 22
29.05 - Episode 23

So, Series of Desperate Housewives MIGHT end on 29th May, but the only problem is that the series finale is a 2-hour long episode, so it might start from 9.00pm to 11.00pm. So maybe Channel 4 will squeeze Ep.22 and Ep.23 together.

[andybigbro]

So when will BB8 Start :conf2:

[Cody™]

ok.. now im just confused! :S

[andybigbro]

Originally posted by krazy1

Yeah me too lol i hope it doesnt start after 29 of May :shocked:

[Cody™]

i doubt it will. it always starts in may. the double episode of DH could come at 10-12 while BB is on at 9. im sure thats wot happen last year aswell :S

[andybigbro]

Hopefully Because i dont want longer to wait

[xPrInCeSs-MaYx]

so who thinks its going to start on the 16th of may?

[andybigbro]

[BigSister]

[andybigbro]

yep - but if they didn't do all the different rounds- we would be left with some rubbish housemates for the summer!!!:spin2: - still - they should speed the process up!!!

[*M*a*TT*H*ew*]

This would be my ideal TV Schedule for BB8:

Monday to Thursday - 9.45pm to 10.30pm
Friday - 8.30pm to 9.15pm/10.00pm to 10.30pm
Saturday Live Task - 10.00pm to 10.30pm
Sunday - 9.30pm to 10.30pm

I have just read this on another forum

"According to an article in NEW magazine the start date is the 25th of May! The article said that the BB8 launch is the 25th. It didn't say maybe or possibly, the actual words were WILL launch on the 25th of May."

Take it as you will.

[~Kizwiz~]

To be honest I dont care when it starts anymore.
