They've filmed the promo way earlier than usual too (I think) so I'm pretty sure it's still launching in May and not June - but it's like 24 days away from launch:worry:

Think they delayed info last week! If it's this week I think we will get the eye and promo together if it's launching early/mid May.

Yeah they need to start promoting the series, if it's 24 days we could be seeing count down ads in 14 days.

How do you know??

bbspy said it was launching around the 13th and then other fansites agreed/said it was x

The May launch can be ruled out after next week if we haven't had anything, because that wouldn't leave them enough time to prepare everything for launch night. May 13th was a penciled in date but again, so was May 6th and that's not happening.

Yeah I'm not sure how trustworthy these fan sites are! But the fact that rylan took down his tweet makes me think that he knew that the eye would be revealed tomorrow and wasn't meant to say and so was told by the producers to take the tweet down!

Maybe it's tommrow then

I think it's last Wednesday myself.

Actually, it's Tuesday? :crazy:

What tweet has Rylan deleted exactly?

Today's Sunday. :idc:

Maybe everybody should just stop speculating - I get that's its a BB forum but looking back everybody has been speculating for like 2 (?) weeks now, saying 'Its tomorrow definitely' for an eye that never comes. If they've delayed it from being released on Wednesday, I can't see it being released just a few days after myself - that's just pointless.

'This week, let's play eye spy' which I am sure he posted on Monday?!

Why do people think it was due last Wednesday?

Fansites were told it was going to be released on Wednesday but then it never came.

No, that wasn't deleted. He was messing about and posted a disgusting picture of a hand.

How do you know this?

No that was on Thursday night I think. The tweet I'm talking about was on Monday.

The fansites have been tweeting it.

Nothing's been confirmed by Channel 5, for all we know it could be launching on June 4th - around the same time as last year's launch. I highly doubt it, and I hope not, but it does seem odd why they would have had the photo shoot and promo ready in mid-April, if it wasn't launching in Mid-May.

I'm still surprised that we haven't gotten anything, as we would have by now if it is launching in the week beginning 11th May. Unless they're keeping all the promo late this year.

If it is launching on 13th May, they've made a big mistake not revealing the eye last week, as the hype was at its peak then. And that would've also given them a nice amount of time to promote.

If we don't get anything by this Friday, then it's probably launching after Mid-May. Probably late May.

Hopefully we get something this week, as I'm bored to death of waiting. It's even worse this year as the speculation started back in Mid-March, and that's never happened for any series. Usually the hype begins around late April.

Wasn't the BB14 promo really late?

I watched the launch of BB15 (well parts of it) and I thought 'why the hell am I excited for this sh*t?' :D

I have been watching all the golden series since BB15 ended and I seem to have forgotten how bad C5 is compared to BB at its height. The launch just lacks so much hype these days.

That's because it started in the second week of June

I still think it'll launch May but maybe later, which I wouldn't mind, but I don't really care when it starts anyway

The launch still has some hype these days. Well, except for summer CBB. But of course it's not as big as the golden days.

It's the finals that have lost all the hype, TBH. They're not really an event anymore. More like 5 evictions in one night.

The fact that the finals rate lower than the launch says it all. Though that's been the case since CBB5/BB8.
CBB13 managed to just beat the launch night rating in the final.

I much preferred the way the HMs got out of the cars and the walkway was so much longer and there was no pop music playing in the background and no interview. It was all about the interaction between the HM and the crowd and that was fantastic.

In the final, it was good coz they constructed an elevated walkway for the HMs come down and I loved how they had a huge stage in front of the massive audience. It was just so atmospheric, and both the launches and finals are now damp squibs compared to what they were IMO.

I am at least glad that they have started doing house tours again on launch night!

Oh another thing is that the series montages have all been utter shyte! The BB14 one was in but it needs to be in chronological order with no text and only one song. I also hate the HMs best bits montages - they are just so tacky.

Yeah, the finals now just feel like big evictions in terms of atmosphere. I still get that edge on my seat feelings when the winner and other finalists are announced though.
