Well, all hope resting on CBB20 i guess

[BBUK-Fan]

As long as CBB20 has a good lineup and a few surprises, I'm sure it'll change.

I'm gonna try and tweet about CBB so we can get the launch a lot of viewers because time after time it's bad ratings here and there so I want to change that

[Oaker]

"It would be nice for it to make 20 years"

Welp that's only 2 years away - she must think it's getting axed :skull:

[Jordan.]

Mess she doesn't sound confident

[Samm]

Hmm at least let her live to mark 20 years then kill her I guess

[storybrooke]

Doesn't sound overly positive that it is going to last much longer

I think it is getting cancelled after next years series

[Underscore]

bye bye bb

[Amy Jade]

:worry:

[Cal.]

Sad :(

[JayGreen]

I am hopeful, I do have a bad feeling though. They need to do a back to basics theme but try to make that interesting. Which i cant imagine would be easy. I love big brother so im really worried!

[Greg!]

It all rests on CBB20, how scary!

[Jason.]

I'm not too sad about this? It's been on a franchise low for about three years now.

[Samm]

cannot bloody wait for the rename of tibb to be ThisIsDancingOnIce.com once BB gets the axe!

[Babayaro.]

[Littlegreen]

They should make it their aim to go out with a bang and end it on it's twentieth. That way if ratings do pick up they can make the decision nearer the time, while still having the potential end in sight.

[Greg!]

If they do axe her I hope the rumours about it going online and back to basics with live feed are true!

My prediction is C5 will let the current contract run out or extend it for one more year so it ends on its anniversary year.

[Marsh.]

Try looking interested when actually appearing on the show then Emma?

[Oaker]

welp what will happen to TIBB if BB gets axed for good? will the forum get axed too :laugh:? Will it change to a Love Island forum?

[Wizard.]

R.I.P to the BB I used to see, those days are over.

[Greg!]

She does you rude cow

[Greg!]

Rename ha to the more informal tibb.com! A cute place for general RTV, soaps and music discussion!

[Jason.]

Idk why they'd have live feed for an online BB, when they didn't even give us one when it was broadcast on TV, with more people watching.

[Marsh.]

She does you rude cow

She couldn't look less bothered. :hmph:

[Greg!]

Because it wouldn't be on Channel 5

[Marsh.]

ThisisWalford.com

:clap1:

[Jason.]

Because it wouldn't be Channel 5

Who'd take it?

[thisisdanny]

Yeah I'm predicting the 20th series will be the last then UBB2 tbh

[Marsh.]

Who'd take it?

TiBB to buy it?

[Greg!]

Who'd take it?

Don't know babes, just repeating a rumour I've heard. Amazon or Hulu or something like that if I had to guess.

[Jack_]

Axing the show a year before the 20th with a non-All Stars series that goes out on a whimper is exactly the kind of **** I expect C5 to pull

Ideally it makes the 20th and then ends, but if the plan is to finish next year it should be All Stars

[Samm]

issy as the last civilian winner would be cute and channy winning all stars the following year oh wig

[Marsh.]

End it now tbh. 18 is an even number. :love:

[Jack_]

So is 20!

[Kazanne]

It's had it's day I think ,the cast gets worse every year and this years was dire, so they need to get rid of it or completely revamp it with everyday civilians as it was supposed to be,plenty of Towie type programs for those who want to watch that sort of thing.

[Marsh.]

So is 20!

http://i.imgur.com/E5hmOqg.gif

But that means two more years of this crud. :omgno:

(Not to mention CBB 24 :eek:).

[lewis111]

It would make sense and be satisfying if it ended on 20

Make summer 2019 a 10 week all stars with celeb and civilians and get rid of summer CBB that year
BB19 can just be a normal series

[Jason.]

So is 20!

You don't even like the UK format, shut up!

gross @ CBB

But that's true :laugh: I guess I've put up with it for this long that two more years just to reach the milestone wouldn't hurt

You don't even like the UK format, shut up!

Well ACTUALLY! my ideal plan would be for BB19 to trial the US format (with some tweaks), if it works great if it doesn't oh well...then make BB20 All Stars (with VTS) and then end it

[JayGreen]

I'm not too sad about this? It's been on a franchise low for about three years now.

2 Years or 2 civilian years, they should have done an upstairs v down stairs theme last year. 2 identical houses one up stairs one downstairs both the mirror opposites that have to compete instead of the others. 32 housemates, 16 on each floor, 2 get evicted each friday, no backdoors just doubles and triples. The game would have changed the eye would have worked stiil and sending one person from one floor to another as the houses would be mirrored would be funny to watch and physiologically confusing for them. Maybe do another first and have 2 winners.They should have put normal anon people in this year all different cultures and different walks of life.. Thats what they said they were gonna do. Instead we got half of the ex on the beach lot!

Oooh now this sounds bloody good.

[Vicky.]

I maintain it could be a fairly sucessful show if it went back to basics, and with NORMAL people rather than a bunch of semi-famous nobodies and people with agents.

I think even like 800k is decent for channel 5 anyway though?

And in a time when the TV is saturated with reality TV, having it go back to basics with normal people would really make it stand out from the crowd again.

Let Love Island do what they're doing and BB get back to doing what it did best.

[pontyboi]

"It's been 20 years and and everything has a shelf life" I truly believe she loves big brother and wants to see it last until 2020......20 years of big brother.

[pontyboi]

That's true and I believe the original cast should be brought back.......**** there were some crazy housemates

[JayGreen]

Because it wouldn't be on Channel 5

Whats the issue though? Cant they not do this cia the big brother section of channel 5's website? They would get more media attention from the press instantly. The live stream was a massive hit with the press during C4 days.

[Jodie.]

I mean it would be cute if it ran for 20 years

But if it ends next year then I guess it symbolises that BB lasted longer on the better channel?:clap1: (not for me, but for most other BB fans)

[Headie]

Yeah I was gonna say I think I'm one of the only ones who actually wants it to be axed.

I'd rather it be axed now than it be run even further into the ground past the point of it even being able to return to a good viewing figure in the future after a lengthy break.

And by 'break' I mean C5 cancelling it and it getting picked up by a different channel (ITV/ITV2 or C4 preferably) in a decades time or so.

[T*]

Having it on until 2020 is a horrendous thought :worry:
If they've not made changes or listened now, they're not going to in the future. The format's reputation is already on its last legs.

Channel 5 have failed in all aspects

I think its doomed, i dont think the producers will listen to our ideas or take them into consideration. They think they are boss when they really suck and need to be fired.

[pontyboi]

Even in bb14 live feed they just gave up and we've not even had an online substitute since. ...bb is the original and had people watching at their desks whilst working a boring 8 hour day ....this is what made big brother a reality TV show.

[JTM45]

I used to LIVE for BB when it was on Channel 4. Couldn't miss a single episode and the episodes never seemed to last long enough. Just seemed to whizz by because it was so entertaining!
This year i missed nearly an entire week in one go (and a day or two here and there) and when i watched again it felt like i'd missed nothing.

It's hard to know whether it would save it by putting it back to basics and getting real people instead of these losers they have these days. Compared to the crap they just gave us it would surely be worth a try though, surely ?

Emma's Big Farewell show is coming...

[Jodie.]

Emma's Big Farewell show is coming...

WHAT

[Jedman]

Do you think maybe Some people remember old big brother with rose tinted glasses? Not sure how well they would hold up if you watched them now and compared then to the recent series.

[Captain.Remy]

Jayne, Chanelle or Helen Wood to host after Emma gives it up.

[Captain.Remy]

The show is way less genuine today than what it was on C4.
But that's all the cases for reality tv shows that were not influenced by social media and less focused on housemates/participants concerned about their fame or followers. It's not just BB specific.

BB3/5/6 I think are above the rest, and that seems to be a common ground for most of the fan base.

Not really. A lot of people around here re-watch series and there are discussion threads dedicated to it. And clips/moments are brought up and discussed.

Also, it doesn't take an excellent series to hold up against the tripe they make now.
