ok here is my theory,

the eyeflashes started 8 days earlier than last year.

the countdown adverts usually start at 10 days so therefore they will start at 18 days, which is tomorrow.

So everyone watching C4 tomorrow!!!!

The BB6 countdown ads began at 18 days, so I don't see why not.

It's possible. BB6 started at 18 and BB7 started at 16.

Maybe. I'll be listening for that man's voice (I forget his name, the narrator, Geordie bloke!)
Hearing his voice after a very long BB hiatus always stops me in my tracks!

bb 9 needs bigger promotion so 18 days is looking very likely

lol naughty naughty :joker: so 18 days ad looks extremely possible then i will be watching C4 when i get in tomorrow!!!

Spike

I think its likely we will get a 18 days countdown advert tomorrow. If we dont I think it will start at 15 days.

Rob
17-05-2008, 10:20 PM
yeh 10 days is too late this year due to the poor ratings during BBCH, we could see the house ad on thursday i think!

*mazedsalv**
17-05-2008, 10:25 PM
My guess is that we will see the countdown tomorrow and on Wednesday we will get the house adver as I hear that something is going to be revealed on either Tuesday or Wednesday next week.

Rob
17-05-2008, 10:29 PM
yeh house pics will probs go to press next week with a house ad emerging towards the end of the week, the start date will be officially announced by C4 with the press release as well as possible themes and big mouth presenters.

i hope there are adverts soon, although i do think that they need more attention from the papers, which they could get quite easily. i dont even remember seeing the eye in the sun or mirror. these papers have previously been such a help to big brother, and it seems that this year they dont have that, which is a shame

telefan
17-05-2008, 10:54 PM
its possible.
this year bb seems to be breaking the boundaries?!?:hugesmile:

When they say that BB:CH got low ratings. Wouldn't that have been because it was on e4, and a lot of people don't have digital yet.?

Actually 90% of the country has Digital.

Thats weird because I know lots of people that dont have digital that wanted to watch BBCH, but couldn't.

15 million people own a freeview box.
8 million people own a sky box and goodness knows how many people have virgin. And this was the figures at the end of 2007.

So at least 23 million+ people had the oppotunity to watch.

ratings dipped below 300,000 and that was for an eviction show. I believe that the endless Friends repeats got better viewers then that.

So yes I do believe that BB:CH was a flop, E4 were expecting this show to put the channel on the map for the digital switchover. I think one person was hoping that BB:CH would help deliver E4 ITV2 stlye ratings! Well at least E4 had Skins, until C4 started to air it aswell.

*mazedsalv**
18-05-2008, 09:58 AM
That eviction got 300,000 because it was up aggainist EE which got over 10 million that night. But generally it averaged 700,000 which is good for E4.

Every week at least one show was in the Top 10 E4 multi channel list on Barb.

once the digital switch over has happened big brother might do bb:ch again

No matter what excuses people give , Celebrity Hijack was a flop in the ratings. Simple as.

But doing after the switchover wouldn't make a difference to the ratings, only about 10% of the country doesn't have digital so when they get it they aren't going to make a difference.

bbch was **** and the countdown 18 days will probably happen today!!!!!!!!

Rob
18-05-2008, 07:15 PM
i take it theres been no sign of an advert yet then?

RichardBB4
18-05-2008, 07:20 PM
Not one today. Shame :( I am still more interested in a themed advert ala 'Black Friday' to show the changes made this year.

it still doesn't matter. BB:CH got exceptionally good ratings for an E4 show. Had it been on channel4, the series would have achieved a much higher level of viewers.

The fact is that C4 wanted a low key winter edition in order to create anticipation and bring BB9 back with a bang!

I think RichardBB4 is trying to talk about a promo with a theme "a la 'Black Friday'"

Thats been advertised loads this week, there could be a countdown advert tonight during it. I expect it to get around 3.5m so we could see an advert.
