Big Brother axe rumours revealed

[Jodie.]

However, rumours have spread that Channel 5 and Endemol – who produce the show – are in discussions about its fate.

Now, Daily Star Online can revealed that Big Brother isn't set to go anywhere, and instead there's a plan to save the series.

Rather than getting the chop, Channel 5 are set to continue to air the show, but they want to pay less for it.

[In the Drunk Tank]

We're back :clap1:

[Jodie.]

If this is true, I hope they spend the money on the right things (like tasks) instead of unnecessary things like a 4 THOUSAND POUND BATH

[reece(:]

A Home Bargains tea

[thisisdanny]

BBAUS type nominations are a must

[LukeB]

Paying less for CBB is just not realistic.

[Jason.]

If they want to save money, don't have two CBB series per year then.

[Daniel.]

Axe IT

[thisisdanny]

Can they not just scrap summer BB

[Ant.]

Remember when they spent £1 million on Ray J

[Marches]

They should just axe it or let someone buy it channel 5 suck

[reece(:]

Remember when they spent £1 million on Ray J

Sis they scammed him and found a loophole to get it back

[Matthew.]

Remember when they spent £1 million on Ray J

yes that was an unnecessary purchase. also a certain very expensive housemate who wasn’t even worth her fee bc she was dull af, not naming her bc she is very popular

[Jodie.]

Ahhhhhh so the REAL reason they’re going back to basics/social experiment IS NOT because they’re listening it’s to SAVE MONEY wow them smart hoes :clap1: :clap1:

[Matthew.]

so is the £4000 bath just getting the tip?

[Greg!]

Literally they'd save so much money if they just axed summer CBB

[Marches]

Ahhhhhh so the REAL reason they’re going back to basics/social experiment IS NOT because they’re listening it’s to SAVE MONEY wow them smart hoes :clap1: :clap1:

Blowing their budget on the 27283732 benefit shows they air?

[BBUK-Fan]

Yes

When she stopped scum from winning :love:

[Underscore]

LMFAO at you forgetting Coleen exists

[supertv247]

They’d save like 30% of their budget if they axed summer CBB so that’s already be saving more than they need to save, which means some of the savings can then go towards CBB & BBUK. Overall, cutting down the number of episodes per year by 30 will make winter CBB more appealing again and boost ratings, while more money for bigger names will also help. Then, with a bigger budget for just bbuk in summer, that will get help too.

Basically the ONLY reasonable solution is to axe summer CBB

[Marches]

LMFAO at you forgetting Coleen exists

At least coleen chain smoked in the garden and like her win was kinda funny because it was so random. Pricey did nothing and I expected her to win meh

[Mitchell]

*worst winner

Stephen Bear, James Hill, Scotty T, Coleen Nolan, Charlotte Crosby & Alex Reid say hello

[Marches]

Stephen Bear, James Hill, Scotty T, Coleen Nolan, Charlotte Crosby & Alex Reid say hello

Well yeah cbb winners suck they’re all joint with Katie p

Except Charlotte what did she do wrong :bawling:

[Ant.]

Sis they scammed him and found a loophole to get it back

I swear Ray J got a majority of it

[Shaun]

Except Charlotte what did she do wrong :bawling:

Piss the bed and act like a 3 year old.

[Marches]

Piss the bed and act like a 3 year old.

Isabelle pissed the bed too :hehe:

[Ant.]

Piss the bed and act like a 3 year old.

What's wrong with pissing the bed :oh:

[Jodie.]

But what happens if Endemol don’t settle for a lower price lol

[thisisdanny]

But what happens if Endemol don’t settle for a lower price lol

itv2 to offer double?????!!!!!!1111

[Rob!]

They're going to give us an uber cheap house this year and claim it's because they're going back to basics aren't they? :laugh:

[T*]

so it’s going to get cheaper? can’t wait to see the editing....

[Rob!]

Losing the music and the drone shots could probably save them a few quid :idc:

[T*]

what music? they go into the rewind section of Poundland now

[Rob!]

I mean, BB is at it's best when it's just raw, honest footage. The whole point of the show is that it doesn't need glossing up and made to look more expensive than it is.

[kingston]

yes that was an unnecessary purchase. also a certain very expensive housemate who wasn’t even worth her fee bc she was dull af, not naming her bc she is very popular

Stacy Francis? If correct it's all good Scietology will have her prepaying for services for her and her entire family so the bulk of that money is gone now...

[Jodie.]

Also what @ that “never going back to its heyday thing” I mean like ik your latest Winter CBB hasn’t even averaged 2m but some optimism pls x

[kingston]

But what happens if Endemol don’t settle for a lower price lol

That won't happen... Endemol aren't going to let their highest profile show go off air... It also helps that no one else is likely to pick up the show and they'll take significantly less than what Channel 5 are offering by attempting to migrate to an online exclusive format...

[kingston]

Also what @ that “never going back to its heyday thing” I mean like ik your latest Winter CBB hasn’t even averaged 2m but some optimism pls x

They are speaking the truth... The damage has been done at this point...

[Eddie.]

Hope saving money means B2B format...

[Gstar]

If they want to save money, don't have two CBB series per year then.

Can they not just scrap summer BB

This is literally C5 still trying to "save" this show

This. I couldn’t care less about the house design etc, although it’s a bonus to have a gorg house the main reason to watch BB is to see how people interact

[Blue cat]

It should never be axed.

"Now daily star can revealed"....I'm no Shakespeare but that's basic bad writing. Even I could have written a better piece in school.

[pontyboi]

Stephen Bear, James Hill, Scotty T, Coleen Nolan, Charlotte Crosby & Alex Reid say hello

And most fans say goodbye.

[pontyboi]

let her die

Kid you've just been reported for actually wishing death on somone....are you ok?

[RichardG]

Kid you've just been reported for actually wishing death on somone....are you ok?

wishing death on a tv show, damn i'm a horrible person x

[T*]

telling someone you’ve reported them after reporting them is also against the rules and RichardG wished death on a TV show not a human being so you’ve put your foot in it there

[Rob!]

telling someone you’ve reported them after reporting them is also against the rules

Is it? :unsure:

[Yuki Maru Hoshi]

Honestly, if they have to start skimping on the quality, then they might as well axe it.

[Time]

bye drone shots and £4k bath tub

[Christmas Lights]

I wonder if they'll still cram another Celebrity BB in this year .

[Cal.]

Not paying so many bloody celebrities to do the show for no reason would also save money. 2017 had like 34 CBB housemates. That's A LOT of money to spend - especially when a lot of them probably contributed nothing. 10 celebs a series is fine and maybe one or two more a week into the series to add some excitement and freshness. But yeah, just signing for a January CBB and a summer civilian would save them a lot of money.

Or they could scrap the civilian version and just stick with 2 CBB 's every year :joker: .

[Jodie.]

Oh I just realised lol them cutting the price would only affect CBB23/BB20 ondwards wouldn’t it ah I misread and thought BB19 would have a price cut

[puzzled]

Stephen Bear, James Hill, Scotty T, Coleen Nolan, Charlotte Crosby & Alex Reid say hello

:cheer2::cheer2:

[andybigbro]

I’m glad :hee:

I would be sad if they axed it, despite how much it’s changed I’d still rather have it than not.

[supertv247]

Let’s add some up...

In 2015 they spent over £1.5 million on 3 CBB housemates in January, then added £50k to the bbuk prize for no reason, then put a ton more promo and effort into CBB UK vs USA. Then in 2016 paid £1m for 1 CBB housemate, built a whole new house and studio set (with the biggest wraparound LED screen in Europe) then in 2017 paid for many all star housemates at near £500k for some, and then spent thousands on the BBUK house and revamped CBB house. Now they’ve just spent god knows how much on a whole new creative direction, drone shots and £40k bath tubs.



Basically my point is that a huge budget cut probably won’t even be noticeable moving forward :laugh: less expensive unnecessary furniture, 14 housemates instead of 18-22 for CBB, and they won’t need to spend as much on stuff like the house and set as they’ve managed to do it all before budget cuts.

[y.winter]

So...


Only one CBB a year
Cheaper furnishing
Less celebs than normal for CBB
Less housemates for civilian BB
Shorter civi BB (if that's even possible:laugh:)
Cancel BOTS / shorter episodes / 2 BOTS a week
Kill task team again
Cheapest z-listers from RTV for CBB
Rigged/harder tasks to get housemates on basic budget
Downsize the live shows even further (=more backdoors)
Shorter highlight shows
6 HL shows per week (old school BB)
Housemates growing their own food (chickens/veggies) - though it doesn't save much
Saying goodbye to Emma and getting low-budget Rylan to host the show
Smaller live shows' studio (not sure how it can help, when it's already the way it is)
No music
Less camera run guys
Housemates building their house by themselves (i.e. the dutch Utopia)


What else can they do to save money? :laugh:

[Mec]

Them to have Emma prerecord all possible evictions during launch night and every housemate to leave via the diary room for their exclusive bots interview with Rylan on BOTS? :hehe:

The first 3 points would probably suffice tbh. The budget cuts won’t be that extreme :joker:

[supertv247]

Housemates to reenact their best bits so editors don’t need paid to make them?
