Why does it say Big Brother: Secrets and Lies?

Not Timebomb returning and erasing 2014-15.

A Friday launch would be perfect though

Jason.
24-05-2016, 04:35 PM
Ugh I hope it's not on Tuesday. I mean if they didn't want it on Friday at least make it on Thursday or something

Will.
24-05-2016, 04:36 PM
If it was a Tuesday then wouldn't it have been confirmed today?

Greg!
24-05-2016, 04:37 PM
I think this is fake or from 2013 since it says secrets and lies.

No scheduling only gets confirmed every wednesday

Don't really care what day it launches tbh, I just want it to start. They could have a Tueday launch for the old house and a Friday launch for the new house?

Just checked on the digiguide website (couldn't use the Windows app) and there's nothing scheduled for Tuesday apart from Kids Hospital:

https://i.gyazo.com/9b669d4f29708a7e206c2628a3ad57a4.png

However, there is a mystery three hour gap on the Friday (if it does launch then, it faces competition from the Euros which could have a huge impact on the ratings):

Bloody hope it's not the Tuesday.

And surely there's not that much of an overlap between football and BB viewership? Has footie historically affected BB's ratings?

Yeah I don't think football has much of an affect on BB ratings as the Olympics does. Even BB15's low ratings can't be blamed on the World Cup.

If the launch is the 7 June can the final please be on 19 August so the series length is 74 days to complete the Channel 5 series of 64, 66, 68, 70, 72 and 74 days cycle.

62 days if it's another BB15/16?

But no they're not even consistent with which days their finales are so it wouldn't surprise if me if the series is 67 days or something

Tuesday is the best.

3 days of non Euro clashes.

Friday would have been awful against the Euro opening. And then next episode being a Saturday... May as well just cancelled it after 2 days as it would flop so painfully.

Rob!
24-05-2016, 10:33 PM

Bloody hope it's not the Tuesday.

And surely there's not that much of an overlap between football and BB viewership? Has footie historically affected BB's ratings?

Big games have affected BB. And opening games have too. So avoiding the France game is best. It will get around 8-9m.

Euro predictions...

Opening Game- 8.4m
Big 5 team averages- 6.8m
Standard matches- 4.0m
England matches- 11m-15m

So basically. Avoid England matches at all costs. The clash on Friday will be bad imo. And would be preferable to avoid Italy, Germany and Spain games really.

But other teams shouldn't affect it a lot. I recall BB13 against a not so important game and BB13 getting a pretty high rating... think it was 1.6m.

It can launch on a day that would avoid a day 3 eviction plz

Surely they're gonna have to do an X Factor and have 2 eliminations each week? If there's 20 housemates *unconfirmed*

Who mentioned 20 housemates?

If there is 20 then there'd be 10 in each house so I'd imagine 1 from each house would be evicted every week until the houses join together.

25-05-2016, 08:08 AM
I don't really care when it starts to be honest. I just hope its still on when I go to Scotland in July for my annual holidays. Every year I go in the caravan (racing hols with the dogs) and every year bb is normally on the whole time Im there. Last year it ended the end of my 1st week and it just wasn't the same.

It's not 20 housemates it 16 with 8/8 split

25-05-2016, 09:39 AM
The 8th's episode starts on 10pm, so no two-part launch I guess.
Friday's is 90 minutes followed by a 30min LF - so... late entrance for the second house/other super-duper-second-house-related twist?

If there is 20 then there'd be 10 in each house so I'd imagine 1 from each house would be evicted every week until the houses join together.

The new bit looks a lot smaller than the old house, which we know can take 16 housemates.

Not sure there will be an even split.

Literally no matter where they put it ratings will be damaged - there's the EU debates, Euro 2016, Olympics etc.

I don't know whether that will affect it, but if it does, meh. It will be affected by the Euros and (some) of the Olympics... depends with that though because being in Brazil, if they do the bigger events in primetime in Rio (not sure about whether 7-9 time is the biggest in Rio), then those primetime events won't be shown until like 11pm-1am here.

BB would clash with events that are aired at 5pm in Rio. And lets just hope that they are not huge events.

Plus, the only reason BB13 was hit was because it was in London, pretty sure Bejiing 2008 was a flop most nights here.

Back to the post, I don't think a lot of BB audience demo would want to watch 2 bellends having a debate.

Jack_
25-05-2016, 03:20 PM
We could even get the house pics this Friday.

Unless the TellyMix pics are weeks old and the house is already complete, not gonna happen. I think because they're cutting it fine the pics will come later rather than sooner, so four days before the launch next Friday sounds about right to me

Hopefully it's sooner though :fc:

TomC
25-05-2016, 03:21 PM
But the old house could be complete, and I'd imagine the new house will remain unseen until it starts.

I also said on DS, I'd take a Day 4 eviction in that slot over X number of celebs entering.

Cal.
25-05-2016, 03:22 PM

Day 3 eviction against the opening Euro game confirmed.

WHY

Not the queen whose evicted first going out on Day 4 to one of the least watched evictions ever :(

Also the launch is 125 minutes, BOTS follows and then an hour of live feed

Last year - starts a day after my first exam
This year - starts a day after my last exam

I'll take this as C5's way of repaying me :clap1:

(glad the launch is 2 hrs, not here for the Day 4 eviction though)

Lucky, I have three exams that day!

Some tragic scheduling again I see

Monday 8th August final then?

That means we could still get a 2/3 week break between BB and CBB.

Thursday 25th August for CBB launch maybe.

ew 63 days is too short can't they just make it 67 days and end on the Friday or something

Jack_
25-05-2016, 04:11 PM
That would mean a Monday final...

They'll probably move it nearer the time to a more suitable day, how about back to the Friday so it's 60 days and the shortest ever series? :rolleyes:

I hope it does well so they extend it to 74 days, I don't like when it end on an odd number :laugh:

Perhaps they want to avoid the olympics but there probs won't be much hype this year.

Olympics launches 5th August and ends 21st.

I don't think it will do well because of the Olympics and isn't the euro football on as well?

25-05-2016, 04:19 PM
Unless the IOC force Rio to change the timings of events to suit international broadcasters, most Olympic finals in the major sports like athletics and swimming will be held post 11pm UK time, so they shouldn't affect Big Brother

Definitely not a reason to cut a series short

I hope it does well so they extend it to 74 days, I don't like when it end on an odd number :laugh:

And if flops they'll probably cut it back by a week again so yay for 50-something days!

The fact it's been two hours and there's as yet no retweets or posts on the official Twitter makes me hope they're gonna post the full trailer soon...

Firewire
25-05-2016, 04:40 PM
I hope it's a misprint, I have a feeling it'll be 67 days (or 66 if they finish on a Thursday again). I'd love one extra week though.

Marsh.
25-05-2016, 04:42 PM
I don't mind them keeping it to 9 weeks. Nothing worse than it dragging out needlessly.

But "currently billed". God, do they ever actually plan anything properly prior to the event?

jonnyblack
25-05-2016, 04:48 PM
Typically evictions would count as 2 shows so a 63 episode series would be more like 54 days which I just don't buy. I'd guess it's a holding number for now.

RichardG
25-05-2016, 04:50 PM
63 days is great, might help prevent it falling flat in the final couple of weeks as often happens

Babayaro.
25-05-2016, 04:52 PM
The thing is though, 9 week series are only good if there's about 14 housemates and we all know Channel 5 love to put in 16-20 housemates now, meaning it's just going to feel rushed and messy.

arista
25-05-2016, 04:54 PM
Also the launch is 125 minutes, BOTS follows and then an hour of live feed


how nice

70-80 days would be ideal

*sigh* the official account tweeted the confirmation, but with the existing trailer (just with the date added)

Give us some more bloody news ffs

Give us the 100 day series we came so close to getting on C4

Well that's never gonna happen but 70+ days should be the bare minimum

Jake.
25-05-2016, 05:00 PM
100 is farrr to long, especially with countless twists and useless housemates

Jack_
25-05-2016, 05:02 PM
I'd have taken one on C4, I actually found it irritating being like 6 days off...it's not gonna make much difference is it

BBUS these days runs for 98 days, just give us the extra two ffs

I'm here for that being the official trailer tho - no shouting Marcus, no cringey acting, hardly any dialogue etc

25-05-2016, 05:31 PM
I can't get my head around people quibbling over 10 days or so. The reason CBB feels fresh and breezy is partly due to its swift length.

The final two weeks is always a little dull. More so on a re watch.

I've always thought they should throw all the housemates back in for the final week.

Tarryn
25-05-2016, 05:31 PM
It should be much longer. I know some series have dragged in the past but if they left it to play out naturally without so many twists then three months would be a good run.

TomC
25-05-2016, 05:33 PM
I don't mind if it's short when there is little meddling, but last year 9 weeks with soooo many twists and a revolving door with HMs just felt so messy and rushed.

Really hoping we get some iconic HMs this year!

Jack_
25-05-2016, 05:35 PM

There has to be another trailer though because Marcus recorded a voiceover for it, unless they've decided to ditch it.

I love this one but I just want something that'll give us some idea of what the twist is about. It doesn't have to be a trailer, just anything

Swift length?! There's been recent series going over 30 days

I guarantee CBB(whateverbloodynumber we're on now, I actually don't know?) will be extended again and that the civilian series has once again been cut short to make way for it

Ashley.
25-05-2016, 05:38 PM
BB13 was the perfect amount of days. I felt like it finished at the perfect time.

*mazedsalv**
25-05-2016, 05:45 PM
I don't mind it being shorter.

They can extend it like CBB13 due to ratings success if it does well, but this is civilian Bb we are talking about. It's best not to drag it out. If they had it longer, they'd have reduced it like they did with BB16.

*mazedsalv**
25-05-2016, 05:48 PM
People are saying 100 days are mad.

What if by Day 50 like most series, they are out of ideas and all the good Hms are gone? The ratings are sub 1m and they have 50 days left?

It's like Italian BB, they are always like 100+ days, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The GF10 was so long but it was an incredible series. They then got cocky and did GF11 and 12 equally as long (or longer), and they were not great, well GF12 wasn't. It went on for ages and the ratings halved by Month 3 out of the 6 months. It then had to go on a a year and a half hiatus because they had to rehash more ideas for GF14 in 2014 because in the second half of GF12 they did eveything to try and boost figures and that further annoyed people.

If a shorter series means a fine amount of housemates, no new housemates, less twists, more housemates' focus and organic plot - I'm actually up for it.
With C5, the longer they drag it, the worst it gets.

25-05-2016, 07:19 PM

Half the cast will probably still be there in the final week.
