Could there be an extension

[Benji122]

Could there be an extension past the 6 weeks? I think it’s not long enough, usually a normal BB should run for at least 8 or 9 weeks. I can see the next 3 weeks now feeling really rushed with random double evictions here and there which could ruin it honestly.
It seems to be very popular and if I remember correctly I think back when CBB17 aired they extended it by two weeks due to its popularity and viewings so it’s possible?

[AnnieK]

I doubt they will extend but hopefully the next series will be longer.

It was weird last night when AJ said we are at the halfway point, I feel like they've only just gone in and we don't know them all yet and its halfway over

[Northern Monkey]

Unfortunately not :bawling:

[Ammi]

…I wouldn’t think that would be possible or workable because the channel schedules will be worked out so much in advance…and also, there may be many other changes they would have to make in the background../…technical stuff…?..and also, although we the fans may be enjoying it, it doesn’t seem to be getting huge viewing figures is what I’m reading ….so, all in all I wouldn’t think that it would even be a thought they would have to extend it…

I'm a celeb is due shortly too

[Mystic Mock]

The ratings would need to significantly increase over the next few episodes just for ITV to consider it imo.

. they wont let it clash with this

tbh I would rather 6 weeks of full on, the last week in normal series is always dull when there are just a few hms left

think we need to be grateful if it is back at all :laugh:

If they get some decent celebs for the celeb version it might help too

Can’t believe this **** is still going on.

I know, last time I watched was over lock down when they were in the Castle, I hated that and haven't watched since.

No it won’t be extended
Last night was a boring show
Any confrontation or disagreements are being apologised for
It’s sitting around bb4 as regarding entertainment
Just feels like they are at school
Spin of show is unwatchable, Aj is too loud and runs around likes she’s done some real good speed
At the moment I can’t see the normal show getting another year

[Ammi]

Can’t believe this **** is still going on.

…it’s just so one dimensional and offers no entertainment at all or anything beyond a rinse/repeat button, I feel…

[arista]

No Ben.

Not possible.

Other shows are now booked
as soon as ITV2HD Big Brother ends.

I read that’s it’s already been commissioned for another series as well as a celeb series. I do hope it will be longer and they will learn from things that haven’t worked this series. It seems like they’ve given it more of an I’m a celeb/love island format where there are focused activities which are given the most airtime and then the bits of them entertaining themselves or sitting around etc are just incidental extras. I would prefer the balance to be the other way around!

I feel pretty similarly. This group buries the hatchet far too easily and for the most part, isn't interesting or entertaining enough to make up for the general lack of arguing and tension. It's all a bit too wishy-washy.

sounds like a snooze fest. glad i didnt invest in this series.

how do you know they are burying the hatchet. We haven't seen the noms yet

[GoldHeart]

I don't know why they're still milking it,but tbh all these reality shows feel like they'll go on forever. How many times has BB been axed now and brought back.

[Ray.]

I'm talking about every other instance of arguing thus far in the series

[Cherie]

Poor Ben, not being the only Ben in TiBB Village

Lol well I wouldn't totally write it off, personally. I just think, they could do so much more with this. I'm not sure if it's the selection of housemates they chose, or BB's handling of them that's at fault. Probably a little of Column A, a little of Column B. Not putting Hallie and Olivia up for eviction (or even more devilishly, not putting everyone up for eviction) in response to their coded talk was a huge missed opportunity imo. No one wants BB to intervene all the time in order to create false conflict, but when the HMs bring it on themselves, that's a prime opportunity to intervene. And they completely blew it.

Aside from that, the housemates are inevitably hugging and attempting to act maturely within 5 minutes of a mini-blowup.

[Vanessa]

I don't think so. Because I'm a celebrity is starting soon.

[GoldHeart]

No extension, they will just cram in loads of double evictions and make it messy.

it wouldn't be much of a game if they outwardly held grudges, the aim is to to avoid nomination

[Ray.]

It's not much of an entertainment show if they hold it in 24/7, either.

We always rightly come down on HMs for being manufactured drama queens who play it up to the cameras, but imo it's just as bad for HMs to play up being diplomatic and mature in order to avoid the spotlight and coast to the finale. Both extremes are tiresome to watch, especially when in this case it seems that pretty much all of them are either genuinely afraid of confrontation or simply playing up being diplomatic.

It’s already gonna clash for the last couple weeks

[PoppyC]

I don't think they would. Apart from scheduling, the hms might have booked holidays, taken a leave of absence from work/uni etc. It would be a horrible choice for the hms who have committed to the show and it wouldn't be great for BB if they all decided to go!

But I agree it might be longer next time if enough people complain about the shortness of it and the ratings are high enough

[vesavius]

Maybe next year they will put it on in the Summer and give it longer time before I'm a Celeb.

I think that's the best we can hope for.

It all depends on how it performs I guess. If they can sell advertising off it all will be good.
