Celebrity Big Sister: Bosses plan huge change up for CBB21 [Female-only housemates?]

[Wizard.]

CELEBRITY Big Brother might have to change its name, as I can reveal plans for an all-female series.
Producers are on the lookout for the strongest personalities in showbiz, as Channel 5 dedicates a season of programmes to celebrate 100 years since women won the right to vote.

A TV source said: “Channel 5 wants to make a real splash as part of their women’s vote celebrations.

“They are keen to cast opinionated women like GERMAINE GREER over no-mark reality TV girls who look good but have little to say or bring to the conversation.

“Bosses are expecting cat fights galore, plenty of tension and clashing personalities.”


The change, scheduled for January 2018, comes after producer Endemol vowed to refresh the format of the long-running series amid strong competition from rival shows such as ITV2 hit Love Island.

Endemol’s Peter Salmon, the former BBC boss and husband of Happy Valley actress SARAH

LANCASHIRE, said: “Big Brother has got to last. You have to roll your sleeves up and renew it for a different generation.

“It is having a tougher *competitive time in the UK but it’s huge around the world.

“Love Island has been *sensational. If Big Brother is not on top form, we have to keep changing it.”

I’d be surprised if the new series has no men.

After all, the popularity of Love Island was all about romance.

Yaaaasss :clap1:

here for all women

Bye not Germaine Greer :skull:

[reece(:]

Germaine back again Nn

Here for it though, men are typically bad housemates.

[Wizard.]

Poor Vanessa having no one to root for!

I could actually see this being a bad move for the Show. Something like BB8 (?) worked, because it was different and fresh but this would not I don't think.

[Cal.]

Oh a newbie series?

I was imagining a female All Stars with Nic. Tiff, French, Luisa, Kim, Nat, Faz, Pricey, Jue</3

BB8 didn't work the viewers hated ha so they stuck in a hunk on Day 3 :worry:

yass @ all female

boo @ germaine greer

Wow I love BB8's launch night :love:

BB8 didn’t “work” in regards to viewership anyway

[Cal.]

The audience has changed since then anyway.

This will be a success if they cast crazies.

[Wizard.]

Put Charley and Chanelle back in :love:

I don't think the twist was very popular at all when it happened in BB8, so I don't expect it to be now.

That would be much better!

[supertv247]

This happening in BB8 was one of many reasons they gave for ratings soon dropping and then killing off the show on Channel 4..... :worry:

Although my favourites in CBB are always females and every time I pick an all star cast it is 90% female

[Marsh.]

BB8 didn't work the viewers hated ha so they stuck in a hunk on Day 3 :worry:
They were always going to do that.

That was the point. Seeing a load of women and one stereotypically "attractive" boy.

[Denver]

Makes me laugh when they rumour ex housemates and make out they never appeared

let us have the lesbian celebrities !

Alright bloody hell!

That’s what I was laughing at, their logic is that Love Islands success is based on romance so let’s do the complete opposite! I mean I’m glad because I HATE CBB showmances, but what do they think a load of thirsty girls are gonna do? Put Mel C in!

:joker: will we finally get a same-sex relationship between women for the first time in 18 years?! (correct me if Im wrong but it's not happened yet has it not?) Surely Make or Break being a... well, break, would've told them LI isn't successful for its romance?

also scream @ Mel C :joker: http://www.nme.com/news/music/bryan-adams-and-mel-c-1390314

[Daniel-X]

Best series ever.

Although I don't think this will work in their favour whatsoever with bringing in viewers but me caring

Put ha in and settle it once and for all! She won’t be able to resist Katie Price’s baggy fanny

[RileyH]

imagine if we actually get Mel C

[UserSince2005]

The girls of CBB17 vs New Stars?!?!?!?

Fingers crossed

[Ant.]

Katie Price is the most bisexual celeb there is and no one can challenge me on that!

[Marsh.]

Oh shut up

I bet you feel like a right silly bitch now. :nono:

[Marsh.]

A twist they revealed on launch night?

GET HER!

[thisisdanny]

This is a mess. All of my favourites are female but this is crazy.

I agree though BB8's all female launch was probably the start of it's downfall - baring in mind the majority of viewers are girls - who don't tend to like girls, and want to look at boys haha

Probs not true bc it’s The Scum but still :hee:

I'd be surprised if it was true, C5 are too determined to turn BB into Love Island to do something like this.

[reece(:]

Ap!

BB8 wishes!

Lets fill the house with BB8's female cast 11 years on instead :clap1:

CBB22 should be male-only then.

Not C5's idea of women's rights involving Nina Wadia and Chantelle from Geordie shore having an argument over a tweet sent by Adam

[Shaun]

TiBB getting its wishes?

[iRyan]

YES I am absolutely here for this!

And yes we need at least 5 lesbians

[Jack_]

Channel 5 celebrating 100 years since the suffragette movement?

Emily Pankhurst sweetie I'm so sorry

[Mystic Mock]

BB4 2,0?

I've never watched BB4, but it's only fair to let both genders have their own exclusive series.

And you're talking like every male Housemate has been terrible, the show could easily find a mix of Alex Sibley, Freddie Fisher, Victor Ebuwa, and nearly the entire BB6 male lineup to make up a whole series for the men.

[Headie]

I'd rather it be for the civilian series instead

[MB.]

Emily Pankhurst sweetie I'm so sorry

Emmeline Pankhurst sweetie I'm so sorry

Poor Vanessa having no one to root for!

[TiBB Frontpage Article]

James has posted a new TiBB frontpage article.

http://pictures.thisisbigbrother.com/userpics/10433/normal_CBB_Eye~0.jpg

It has been reported (https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/4640475/celebrity-big-brother-female-only-series/) in the Sun newspaper that Channel 5 are considering making January 2018 Celebrity Big Brother an all-female house. The move would be part of a series of programmes C5 plan to show to mark the 100th anniversary of women getting the right-to-vote.

Worst series confirmed?

[Eddie.]

Finally a change to the format! Let's just hope C5 does not ditch the twist within 2 days and brings in an Ex On The Beach star we know nothing about...

[Jodie.]

I think the series itself would be amazing, since (excluding BB6) how many male HM’s are considered amazing? Next to none x

But ratings-wise, I don’t think it’ll help atall unless there’s big dramz x

[BBUK-Fan]

Not gonna happen. Wouldn't work

[BBUK-Fan]

I'd like them to celebrate the invention of the telephone with the CBB17 phone task again

Personally I really liked Gary Busey, he's up there with Tiff and Kim Woodburn. Actually, an all female cast + John McCririck would be genius

[montblanc]

i literally wouldn't know who to stan :flutter:

[Cal.]

Not gonna happen. Wouldn't work

How so? Every series already revolves around women anyway.

[Rob!]

I'd be here for this, but it wouldn't stay as all women. Channel 5 wouldn't let a whole series go by without the chance for a showmance.

[Rob!]

Plus you can imagine all the facebook whiners moaning that it's boring because there aren't any male reality stars

[Cal.]

Two fame hungry slags would feign a lesbian relationship!

[Cal.]

But for real though Tyger Drew Honey, Jake Quickenden and Sam Callahan will be entering on Day 4 so what is the point!

[Bluelight]

Think all women would be great! For the first few weeks at least. Then send in the guys. My nomination: India Willoughby - Britain’s first national transgender newsreader, from Channel 5. Done Loose Women and CBBBOTS. She’s funny ��

[Greg!]

I'd be here for this but the ratings would be an absolute disaster and 100% cause the show to get axed

Why would they instantly make changes to the format, get **** reviews and ratings and think "hmm we better make changes to the format" instead of.. just changing it back to what it was.
