I don't see why they can't put Blind Date at 8pm?

[Jodie.]

Thanks! And I'm not too against it tbh, I liked it in Tuesday CBB19 evictions when I could go to school and talk about the eviction the next day, rather than waiting the whole weekend

[Rob!]

Omg :joker:

[Firewire]

Oh wait the tweet has now been deleted

[bots]

somebody flushed the idea down the pan (WC) ?

[Cal.]

Evictions SHOULD always be a Friday :(

What a joke

[Cal.]

TRASH

[chris.g]

Does anyone actually know what's going on? Blind Date is advertised as Saturday's at 7pm?!

[Withano]

I'm fine with it (fyt me). There was a time people would avoid going to the pub on friday to watch BB. That time ent now. I think it will attract more viewers.

Apparently it will air at 10:30pm on Monday 19th of June too.

[supertv247]

Having evictions on Thursday is a good idea. They can maximise on ratings since that's a weekday, Fridays have been doing badly recently. However, then moving it SO late on a Friday just outweighs the point in that...

Why are they airing blind date for 90 minutes twice a week anyway?! It should be 8pm Fridays with BB at half 9, if they're doing this.

[Jason.]

Having evictions on Thursday's is a really dumb move in general because LI doesn't have a Friday show so they don't have to worry about competition.

[supertv247]

Love island has a Friday show, and it's usually an eviction show too, actually. It doesn't have a Saturday show

[supertv247]

They're basically making Friday the new Saturday, just as they went back to 9pm on Saturday :/

[Firewire]

It just doesn't feel right!

[Jason.]

My mistake, I keep forgetting LI changed the schedule.

[supertv247]

Maybe they were going to put it on Saturday, meaning 10:30 BB, but decided to do Friday and then maximise the chance of better ratings on Saturday since it doesn't have love island..... If so, that's not so badly thought out as it seems

[T*]

:umm2:

[Peppermint]

Well that's ****

[Daniel-X]

Kinda glass for selfish reasons :worry: I'm at a party that Friday.

[Daniel-X]

Mess I read it as just that week, is this gonna be every week :worry:

[Jack_]

Surely Blind Date is more a Saturday/Sunday show than a Friday? And does it need to be 90 minutes?

A C4 esque throwback of 8:30-9:30 BB, 9:30-10:30 Blind Date, 10:30-11:05 BB would've been a good compromise

[T*]

thursdays are my fridays so i dont actually mind too much

[supertv247]

Blind Date will air on Saturday 17th at 7-8:30pm and Friday 23rd 9-10:30pm

EDIT - it's actually 'the Paul O' Grady Show' airing at 9pm on Friday, after episode 2 of Blind Date at 8pm.......

[Firewire]

Blind Date actually airs 8-9 on Friday, The Paul O'Grady Story is on between 9-10.30

[supertv247]

So that means it's only a one off then, and looks like blind date will air before bbuk evictions every Friday following

[Firewire]

This means the Thursday eviction will probably only be an hour

[TomC]

tbh I don't mind it means I will see more evictions live

[Vicky.]

OK this love island obsession is confusing me. Have the producers said something about this or is it just others thinking its about LI?


Thursday evictions - good news. Should get more viewers as BBs target audience are all out getting pissed out of their heads and munching kebabs then puking in a taxi on a Friday night so figures should probably rise :p

[Greg!]

So it's just for one day? Not too bothered!

[Headie]

Not too bothered idg why it's such a big deal tbh

[Greg!]

I swear they've moved evictions to Thursday before, even in the channel 4 days

[Pete.]

If it's just the one off then that's fine but...

[Jake.]

It really doesn't make a difference and the ratings for it might even improve

[Firewire]

It'll mean it's only 60 minutes though if it moves permanently

[thisisdanny]

Not too bothered about the eviction day changing - but having to schedule around Blind Date is ridiculous. They don't need 2 episodes a week, especially not 90 minute ones.

[reece(:]

I love BBUS

[Rob!]

I mean evictions haven't rated that well over the past couple of years but I doubt that much thought has been put behind it.

[Shaun]

I'm guessing it's just to combat the fact people always go out on a Friday night. Not got a major problem with it really

[Brother Leon]

Nah. Friday evictions are and should always be Big Brother.

[Locke.]

Will feel weird on a Thursday but shouldn't matter too much if it's just a one off. Should be Friday's consistently though, even if you go out and miss it I've stumbled in loads of times drunk and watched the eviction on record

Same (and then rewatched on Saturday with leftover pizza because Ive forgotten everything)

[Captain.Remy]

Oh no! I loved to watch it on Friday nights or Saturday mornings (I'm not in the UK so I either watch it live or on Youtube)
Thursdays are for BB US, not BB UK :(

[Merry Mockmas]

BBUK evictions in these weeks have always been on a Friday, Ch5 is literally trying to take everything away from the show that was iconic on Ch4.

[lewis111]

It looks like it's confirmed this will be a regular thing as the following week is also a Thursday eviction

[Pete.]

Tragic :umm2:

[andybigbro]

Strange :suspect:

Will the housemates be told? :hehe:

[Denver]

Obviously not

[Denver]

Blind Date has been confirmed for saturdays

[y.winter]

Do they even care about pretending to look like they care anymore?

[bots]

We have had evictions on nearly every night of the week at some point, does it really matter?

Its not like thousands of people travel to see it on a Friday night with no work the next day. The audience is predominately from random shoppers at the Tesco's next door :laugh:
