[lewis111]

I mean by the looks of it they have no proof and are purely basing this of off falling ratings

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

it is the star though so lbr it’s probably not true

i just can’t see them getting rid of it completely

even if they just keep the winter CBB and get rid of the rest

[FaLaLaLand]

Just keep the winter CBB and we're good. Civillian died long ago and two CBB's a year is beginning to show that they're literally running out of "celebrities".

[Jodie.]

The only rumours I believe for CBB are ones made by The Sun (I hate them but they’ve very reliable with BB)

[Lilac hills]

I highly doubt this stuff is legit considering it’s in a barely literate tabloid with no evidence other than ratings which have been declining for a while now for more reasons than ‘people are bored of big brother’

Also don’t these rumours come out yearly anyway I swear it’s a trend

[Shaun]

Civillian died long ago

Everyone keeps saying this as if 17 and 18 weren't both at least "good". Both are better than at least three channel 4 series (I personally would say 11, 10, 8 and 4) let alone the channel 5 nadirs

[michael21]

It not bb like it use to be with out the 18 hour live feed

[Marsh.]

It suggests the entire franchise is axed?

The fact that they have it filling schedules three times a year makes me think, no.

They'd at least keep CBB.

Will people see sense last nights second episode got under a million viewers!

Channel 5 are putting other programmes first and have stated last year they do not want bb anymore.

What more proof does anyone need?

It's over and im glad because channel 5 have milked it to death.

No idea where I heard it but apparently Endemol won't let channel 5 run Celebrity BB without the civvy version

[Cal.]

They literally said it was renewed for a few more years a few weeks ago. Messes.

If it was axed (it probably will be come September) I doubt the star would be revealing it.

[michael21]

The star :laugh:

If this **** is true (I bloody hope its NOT) then C5/Endemol bosses should expect something like this in Elstree:

(In other words, angry BB/CBB die-hard fans protesting against the axing and screaming "BRING BACK BB")

Us die-hards will NOT accept another axing of our fave show!! NEVER!!

I'd rather die than see it axed again

If its true we DEMAND UBB2!!!!

I’ve accepted this year is probably the last so I wouldn’t be surprised if the first time the Star have ever told the truth about BB is this.

Yeah, if it had that many people who gave a sh*t it wouldn't be in danger of axing tbh.

[Marsh.]

No idea where I heard it but apparently Endemol won't let channel 5 run Celebrity BB without the civvy version

Then I firmly believe this summer we shall see the first signs of them blurring BB/CBB into one.

[Wizard.]

Yeah it’ll literally just be Rylan and the BOTS audience protesting. Emma sneaks off in an Uber relieved.

I hope Emma Jensen chains herself to the rotating staircase in protest, fearing for Victoria as she wanders the abandoned camera run

And in return Ben Crow stands there menacingly pressing a button that makes her spin around really fast until she flies off the chain and into the house where she is reunited with ha sis

[Reg_Holdsworth_Fan]

Am I the only one who's sad?

The entire BB/CBB diehard fan community would be distaught, disgusted and angry if this is true as it is basically C5 basically giving two fingers up to the devoted fans that watch and care about the show!!!

Bent Frown is such a pathetic selfish scumbag for saying that he'd be much happier with a channel without BB, when it is C5's flagship show that brings them the most publicity/ratings. What will be their flagship show without BB??? Those tedious benefits documentaries that only get 200k ratings!!!

:mad: SCREW YOU BENT FROWN!!!!!!! :mad:

The axing of BB = The death of C5

[pontyboi]

Then I firmly believe this summer we shall see the first signs of them blurring BB/CBB into one.

Actually this is the most probable situation seeing as it starts late and runs untill September when the house contract is up.

[Greg!]

If I was endemol I would start preparing to make CBB22 an all star series (including ex-housemates from normal BB) in case it really does get axed rather than leave it to the last minute.

[Tinsel Toes]

UNLIKELY. :fist: :fist:
I literally don't know anyone who would waste their precious time watching a bunch of scroungers boasting about how much benefits they get so those documentaries would be lucky enough to get anything above 100-200k.

I totally believe it to do you?

It's been a long time coming and we've all been expecting it for years.

Big brother needs a break though and hopefully after a few years the right Channel will pick it up just like what happened with love island.

i’m thinking it’s highly likely because I haven’t seen these many news sites come out at once for the axing story but you can never be too careful with the tabloids tbh

[Cal.]

I think it's been axed but they've gotten their wires crossed and CBB22 is the final series but won't officially be 'CBB22' with a mass CBB and civilian cross planned with All Stars involved.

[Tinsel Toes]

Am I the only one who's sad?

Noo i am:bawling:

[Jase.]

I bitch about the show but that's part and parcel of being a fan. I've literally watched every single series (civilian + celebrity) since 2001 which means I only missed the original civ version. It'll be heartbreaking to finally see it go for good. :(

[Ant.]

They should do a year long UBB with every single housemate EVER

...no, not "unlikely", BB isn't Channel 5's highest-rating show

Take the week of the 19th of June 2017, for example. Every Big Brother episode that week was beaten by:

The Story Of...
Can't Pay? We'll Take It Away!
Blind Date
The Murder of April Jones: 5 Years On
Police Interceptors
Meet the Hedgehogs (meet the bloody hedgehogs)

There's no reliable source that says that though, unless there are over a million classless idiots who somehow like to watch people saying "poor me i can't work because i have a bad hip so i have to rely on benefits".

A bit sad really but it was inevitable

19 years and what, 40+ series (?) for a reality show really isn’t anything to be sniffed at if you’re just looking at how it’s managed to last so long. I just wish CH5 had treated it better.

I never knew how much I needed this

[EspeonBB]

I think civilian will get axed but I can see them keeping winter CBB

[pontyboi]

i’m thinking it’s highly likely because I haven’t seen these many news sites come out at once for the axing story but you can never be too careful with the tabloids tbh

Remember back in 2009 when it was on national news big brother had been axed? I'm thinking we may get an announcement at the end of the series stating this is the final summer but atleast channel 4 regarding bb10 gave us a year to prepare lol....it's allways felt like channel 5 were producing a show and didn't know what they were doing.

I think we all for the last few years knew it was coming to an end and are just waiting for them to confirm it.

They can't keep a show that's struggling to hit the 1.5 million mark in ratings and under a million on several occasions now when it costs so much to produce and the millions in celeb fees.

It's a shame because if they had done this series in 2011 I think it would be a very different story.

[supertv247]

I think if C5 do cut it, it’ll be announced where it’s going first (like how the voice and Bake Off were just moved, never actually cancelled) so it won’t end on C5 like it did on C4..

That’s if anybody else wants it

I’d love it if C4 took it, kept it on hiatus for a year then relaunched it with BB20 in 2020

[Jordan.]

Wont miss it if true

The controller who axed BB on C4 has literally just left though, there’s a newbie there... so there’s also some hope

[MB.]

Personallyme I don't think Channel 4 will ever take the show back or that they ever planned to revive it in the first place

I think the only channel that would have taken BB was ITV2 but they have LI now so they don't need it

[supertv247]

I think the only channel that would have taken BB was ITV2 but they have LI now so they don't need it

The lifespan of Love Island will be like 4 years max. This year might just Top last year but then it’ll tumble back down, It’s obvious. If ITV2 were smart, they’d put CBB and Love Island together to support one another (so basically have Love Island instead of civilian bbuk in summer)

If it's cancelled then I think channel 5 will just state it's canceled and not say it's going to another channel bb doesn't have that power of bake off and just like when it was cancelled by channel 4 I get the feeling they want rid of it.

I agree though in a perfect world bb20 should be broadcast on channel 4 for the 20th anniversary.

[Matthew.]

Summer CBB is never great anyway, I wouldn’t miss it too much however I think they should still keep Winter CBB and BB

[supertv247]

I agree though in a perfect world bb20 should be broadcast on channel 4 for the 20th anniversary.

but I don’t think C5 / Endemol will give up as easily as they did in 2010, I think by the time negotiations go through and they eventually do announce it that it’ll be the point where another channel will have it (IF someone has it)

[pontyboi]

Personallyme I don't think Channel 4 will ever take the show back or that they ever planned to revive it in the first place

channel 4 did end with "big brother will get back to you" DUM DUM DUUUUM!

CBB is still even in overnights this last week has been higher than any c5 programming.

I ain't defending the poor CBB ratings but for c5 it's still its highest rated show.

[*mazedsalv**]

Unlikely but what happens if BB19 returns to BB17 ratings?

and will they promote the series as 'last ever'?

lol no one will buy it

i'm a bit sad about this news bc i loved bb and watched it every year bb7-17, but the show is just dire now. i haven't watched a season since last january, given up on the past three after the first week. it needs to end, there's no life left in it.

[Headie]

Let he die. It needs a 10 year hiatus and return on a different channel in future (like Love Island did)

[thisisdanny]

This is an upsetting subject, we need helplines at the beginning of this thread because I am affected by the issues raised.

While I get what you mean and I highly doubt they'd announce the end so soon, Channel 4 announced they were dropping Big Brother like, almost 2 weeks before the BB10 finale (26th August 2009) (https://www.theguardian.com/media/2009/aug/26/big-brother-dropped-channel-4), and at this point they actually had 3 series left, and even at this point Big Brother finished over a year later in September 2010, whereas we could be in our final series of Big Brother UK this time in 6 months

[thisisdanny]

IF for example they do have a UBB2 then they'll be saving all their money for good allstars which means the celebs we're going to get in CBB22 are going to be vile cheap and nasty

Fact is the Star is still the official BB newspaper so they are to be respected, their headlines do often give a misleading picture of their actual story though so let's wait and see

If true then this is what many wished for, people will never appreciate what C5 did for this show to keep it running as long as they did

Negotiations weren't expected until just before bbuk though :shrug:

Last time they renewed it was 2 months after CBB15 or something. I can't see them announcing the end midway through a series when there's then still another 2 series to go, because anything could happen

They announced bb was cancelled during bb10 before a cbb and bb11 so....

From the Daily Mail article:

"The Daily Star report that Channel 5 are set to 'pull the plug' on the show, which started out on Channel 4 before making the move in 2011.

Insiders claim dwindling ratings and a lost interest in the show due to rival successful shows such as the widely-popular Love Island means the programme is 'just not worth the price tag' for the channel.

The 21st series of Celebrity Big Brother is currently on air - however news surfaced that this could be one of the last.

Show insiders told the publication: 'There have been conversations between the execs about not renewing the contract for both Big Brother and Celebrity Big Brother. It would be the end of an era but they feel the time is right to end.

'There is still time for the bosses at Channel 5 to change their mind but it is not looking likely. Even if they drop it, another channel or a streaming service may decide to pick it up in the future.'

are they really this smart though

if they were, the show wouldn't even be in this predicament in the first place

[Epic.]

If I were Channel 4 i'd pick the show up. Back when it was on that channel, it was a huge selling point for their channel. Since then they're one of the only channels that don't really have a selling point show. Be honest with yourself, do you really care about that many shows on Channel 4? And if you do, are they even that popular to begin with? I feel like this amount of years without the show means they might very well have the right timing to get it its footing again

I just can't see it. Why would they want a show back that they wanted to get rid of? It's had its run. What other reality TV show has aired for 18 years? I think we're extremely lucky that we got what we got. End of an era </3

BB was their flagship show, but now they have Gogglebox and Bake Off. I just can't see them spending millions to get it back.

I don't really agree.. I think they've spent these past seven-odd years carving out their post-BB brand, and I think they've done pretty well. I mean, in terms of non-scripted shows, they've got Gogglebox, First Dates, The Last Leg, The Undateables etc, and on E4 there's Made in Chelsea and Celebs Go Dating. Granted, none of them are as massive as BB was in its heyday, but I think they've found a roster of shows which work well for them as a channel that prides itself on producing diverse and (somewhat) intellectual reality TV. They don't want or need BB.

Channel 5 has not yet responded to our request for comment, promising further information ‘ASAP’. What is, unfortunately, telling is that they have not moved to immediately dismiss the request – whether we are reading too much into that, remains to be seen.
The fact they said ASAP shows that they’ve already made their decision, but I wonder when ASAP will be

Maggie and Rach did that :clap1:

[sungrass]

The entire BB/CBB diehard fan community would be distaught, disgusted and angry if this is true as it is basically C5 basically giving two fingers up to the devoted fans that watch and care about the show!!!

Bent Frown is such a pathetic selfish scumbag for saying that he'd be much happier with a channel without BB, when it is C5's flagship show that brings them the most publicity/ratings. What will be their flagship show without BB??? Those tedious benefits documentaries that only get 200k ratings!!!

:mad: SCREW YOU BENT FROWN!!!!!!! :mad:

The axing of BB = The death of C5
:clap1::clap1::clap1::clap1::clap1::clap1::clap1:

[sungrass]

TiBB would be saved :clap1:

Netflix would be the best route - I just wish people would stop being so snobby about BB and actually tried to watch it - esp civillian which is better than CBB imho - They have no idea what other carp C5 will replace BB with.
Probably some american show ''like the Dome'' which wont get anything.


I dont understand how they work out ratings either - I ALWAYS watch on catch up - I cant watch it in the evenings - surely that must show or doesnt it? - with no BB I would never go anywhere near C5 infact I dont when its not on.

And Love Island is Rubbish compared to BB.

[Ammi]

...It would be sad for BB to end completely, I think for me what this series has shown more is that the social experiment aspect is still there and that it creates some great talking points and helps to highlight things in a raising awareness, type way...I do think though that only one celebrity series a year would be better and like this time, trying to keep the focus on a more varied blend of housemates..rather than, oh they’re mostly all reality tv celebrities, rather than from such a variety of celebrity backgrounds as we have now...anyway that’s just a personal taste, even choosing housemates who would provide. More confrontational and argumentative house etc can also work I guess...but I don’t feel sort of endless conflict can sustain through the length of time the series both are atm...it’s the exact same as having a ‘boring’ house with very little to discuss, just the other end of the extreme...so maybe if that’s the type of house and housemate provided, make the series much shorter...

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

I'm here for an online big brother but it would have to have live feed.

Yeah. Anyone else who would take it would probably perform a Frankenstein on it... but if they added live feed, it could work

[sungrass]

channel 4 did end with "big brother will get back to you" DUM DUM DUUUUM!

just try and stay positive
i mean fans need to make their voices heard

Lol at ppl saying c5 will die have u not seen the **** that airs on that state of a channel it’s obvious the demographic are fairly lowest common denominator bs all the shows are essentially substance lacking background noise. I hope someone else takes over Big Brother, someone a little more high brow and a little more up to date

I'm gonna guess it's either an obscure term for BS, Endemol meant it's just a pointless thing to pad the newspaper (like a flier), or a typo.

[Rob!]

I mean, we all know the trouble Channel 4 had with filling the schedules after they got rid of BB, it took them years to find anything remotely close to the ratings of publicity the show brought. Channel 5 would have the same problem as well as an additional 3 weeks because of the extra celeb series they show a year.
