Calculated length of BB 2018

[supertv247]

Bearing in mind; this is all my own assumptions going by the info we’ve been leaked and the new job advertisement pictured below, but I think it’s most likely to be the schedule.

The ad for working on Big Brother suggests staff will begin at the end of July and finish at the end of October.
This means that CBB could begin roughly on Thursday the 9th of August & last around 27 days (based on previous years and presuming launch will be midweek) ending around Tuesday 4th September. Then I’m guessing BBUK could begin on the Thursday, 6th September (the same gap as last year between series) and last around 54 days, ending on Tuesday October 30th (same length as last year, just in time for the work contract to end, and not on Halloween)

*this is all if my calculations are right* - based on contracts, these days could change but couldn’t get any longer unless everything was somehow extended. The only change possible would be reducing CBB’s days to add days to BBUK! For example, making CBB 22 days long, ending on Thursday and making BBUK 57 days long, beginning on the Monday or something.

Wishful thinking but I hope CBB is only like 20 days long so BB can be longer

[Rob!]

BB is literally going to be a fortnight long isn’t it

[Oaker]

welp remember when it was meant to be the longest series ever

[BBUK-Fan]

Still a good series length

[Jase.]

I wouldn't be in the least surprised if civ BB was a month long

NOT BBUK ending on Mischief Night

ex-housemates to egg th'winner?

[BBDodge]

Well that confirms that the planning contract at Elstree will be extended (to cover October at least) despite the earlier application being removed.

I think they should change the format and merge the two cbb and bbuk so that bbuk starts and the final 6 get prize money and enter into cbb... you might say that this is off the cards because they have reported said that ''we will start all guns blazing with celebrities...'' but maybe they will just get celebrities to come to the launch to help promote the series... that would be a good twist... people tune in thinking it cbb but its turns out to be a combined bbuk...with celebes at the end..

5 minutes - prod already picked winner before show even started

[Nicky91]

sounds ok to me

[armand.kay]

They'll have the housemates all walk on stage together at launch then they'll draw straws and the one with the shortest is crowned winner, the crowd goes wiled before it cuts to the tittle sequence. We come back to just Emma and it's now the CBB launch

[MB.]

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it gives us a pretty good time frame for when CBB will run

[Barry.]

Oh so BB will be about September the 15th?

[Eddie.]

I think civilian should start on the 12th of September...

[BBUK-Fan]

Civilian will surely go to the end of October?

[BBUK-Fan]

Who’s Ash? They don’t seem famous

[MB.]

Who’s Ash? They don’t seem famous

Journalist, she's been on Question Time and similar shows a couple of times and she went onto Good Morning Britain to argue with Piers Morgan that the national anthem should be changed to Wearing My Rolex

Oh dear

[Barry.]

Oh dear

Is that part of the scandal theme?

[glibberglobber]

Piers Morgan would be a good addition to the house. .. Maybe Nigel Havers? Walked in IAC 2010 and has played a scandalous character in corrie?

[Morgan.]

She looks like a scream

this seems this is fake... would she even be allowed to post that if its meant to be a secret?

1. if staf start July 31st till October 31st... will there really be a 17 day wait for the cbb show...but then again maybe thats needed for advertising promotions... and for the bb auditions round two

2. how can anyone not know about big brother that they will need more info about it to decide if they want to be part of the show... I guess some might not be fans...

3 if the staff work contract is 3 months from July 31st... and 'bbuk wont start September 19th (a week after cbb)... that's only 6 weeks till the staff leave thats not a long enofh time is it? 46 days 50 if its star the day cbb finishes earlier.

I dont know maybe its right as the 9th of august is not mid august...

[Strictly Jake]

The final of love island looks likely to be monday 30th july

So...bb should launch at some point that week maybe tues 31st!

[Eddie.]

BB should start one week after LI ends, so all the LI hype dies down...

Probably the 3rd of August if we are getting news at the end of the week...

A Monday 5th of August launch would be a disaster in its own...

[Marsh.]

90 minute launch on Friday 3rd August!

6 hour final on Saturday 4th August!

[Nicky91]

:nono:


it will be from 3rd August till 3rd of September i think

[BBUKfan88]

Does anyone else think its silly starting with celeb then going onto civil? Surely people are going to be over big brother after the month of CBB is over and wont want to watch the civil with normal people. If it was the other way around with civil then celeb at least the celebs would pull in viewers. Maybe thats just me thinking into it too much i just dont think it makes any sense.

[annabelindabee]

I think save the best for last... usually celeb is better... but not this year (providing they get some good people in)... still hoping its me but ive still heard nothing ... boohoo :conf::shrug::fist::bawling:

[DarrenBBUK]

Sounds about right to me. Hopefully civillian is slightly extended to 60 days or something though, with CBB being slightly shortened.

Yes I've thought the same thing. Kind of like having the dessert before the main course.

[annabelindabee]

And why are people stil saying August 1st when the dates have been leaked as August 17th to September 11
