According to the Daily Star (reliable, I know) bosses are still quietly deciding what to do about the upcoming series of Big Brother as they're considering launching it at the beginning of July in order to avoid love island overshadowing it

Anybody who works for this show is an absolute moron.

Makes sense for them to wait until it's finished I suppose
Isn't this year's Love Island supposed to run for eight weeks though?

Maybe the BB19 launch could be a week or so after the LI finale...

Technically because the BBUK house lease ends in September, the latest they can launch BBUK and fit at least 50 days plus 25 days of CBB, is the first week of July. Love Island won’t end until then very end of July. So they can’t really wait until it’s completely finished, but they can wait as long as possible so until the hype has died down and so that it can run longer after LI ends :shrug:

Hayden has been saying this for months :laugh:
because of the you have to be 18 by june/july or something
I mean it makes sense to keep it out of the way of Love Island but I doubt it’s going to make that much difference tbh

Its just the same speculation we've seen on this and other forums, no source, and lots of mays, considerings and mights. Yes its a distinct possibility that BB will air later than usual this year so as not to clash with LI, especially given the lack of info released so far, but this article is nothing new to those of us that have been following the current BB saga, just a rehash of valid speculation on this and other forums.

Wow, I never saw this coming considering auditions only started a week ago and applicants only needing to be 18 by 31st July!!!

If they extend the planning application they can run CBB into October.
But that would depend on them accepting C5's half price format offer or on them finding a better broadcast partner.
Why don't they just air Big Brother before/after LI? :suspect:
I know before would cause some issues with watershed but they've done it before. and I think evictions have to be done by 11pm but starting the evictions at 9:30pm would ensure that and allow LI and BB fans to still catch half highlights and the full eviction?
besides if they begin first half of July this would only be a compromise for a couple of weeks
Is there a flaw in this logic?

They did air it afterwards last year. It would make no difference whether it directly clashed or not - most viewers are only willing to invest in one 7+ week-long reality series per summer, which is a problem that BB have pretty much been backed into a corner on and can't do a great deal about, other than... like, airing it in October or something ridiculous
(at least, I seem to recall that it was on at 10pm and LI at 9 most nights?)

They'll probably mess things up again, wouldn't surprise me if they have the BB launch clash with the LI final or something

A lot of LI episodes were more than an hour long last series though, I rarely watched BB at 10 because of this. I always recorded it though and watched it as soon as LI finished which worked out better I suppose as I could fast forward through the adverts

Could potentially end up being LI’s fault for better ratings imo, since people are obsessed with love island and after that finishes a lot of viewers will want somewhere to go. BB would help withdrawal symtoms imo (providing it isn’t ****)

They're just gonna air CBB in August and hope nobody notices they forgot.

I heard that they audition 2000 people.... if they've auditioned 2000 people they wont pull out as the venues they use are expensive...
They wont waste that money they've spent...

BB has been ****. For more than a few years now. It won’t be Love Islands fault if BB inevitably flops this year, it’s the idiots in charge of it.
Sooner it’s canned the better tbh.

They did this last year, if you’ll remember: BB launched at 8:30pm when love island launched at 9pm, then BB aired at 10pm after love Island at 9pm every night, and eventually they even moved evictions to 10pm on Thursdays, after love island. None of it worked

Again, the same theory basically existed for CBB last year (we even said that’s why they made the CBB adverts ‘sexy’) but then CBB experienced it’s lowest ratings ever. (and also, the final 4 days of bbuk aired directly after the love island final and dropped to a series low) :shrug:
So in heindsight this is why I think COMPLETELY avoiding Love Island would work better than just trying to fly alongside it - people cba with both at the same time one after the other

17 increased from 16...
I think without LI 18 would probably average 1.4 million, still higher than BB16, the RTV stars would turn people off a bit I Guess...

BB17 was back to it's standard C5 ratings (1.6m) after BB16 did badly (1.4m). 18 most likely would have been at around 1.4m instead of 1.2m had it not been on when LI was on

I actually don't care about the ratings. It is bound to flop anyway. Just give us our usual June launch and shut the hell up. I need the eye, house and pre-launch hype.
Why do people like that damn show. It's just a bunch of plastic people hooking up on a beach.
So BB is scared that much of Love Island to not air until if and when that season ends. lol. Wow. Business and pleasure. smh.
At least I'm A Celebrity, and Dancing on Ice (I don't watch that crap either) has some entertainment value.
Big Brother is gonna die because of that stupid ass show. lol.

LI’s more entertaining than both of those shows ngl, besides based on how you described it as “people hooking up on a beach” shows that you clearly have never seen the show.

I HAVE seen Love Island and I agree it is crap, has nothing to do with my love for BB as I am always down for another enjoyable reality show. The contestants are all plastic and mostly devoid of personality, the narration is not funny or clever, hostess Flack has nothing on Emma, I just dont get the appeal. This, again, from someone who wanted to like the show. Coach Trip is more entertaining. .
