i agree plus i'll never be the same because of the alcahol issues and what is correct to say/ i think it's now had it's day and anyone with any sense would run a mile by keeping it going/:xyxwave:

BB helped Channel 4 and i think channel 4 liked that they were at the centre of controversy in the early years, then the race row happened and i don't think channel 4 liked it then and wanted rid of BB before it could do any damage to the channel.

I'm not making this thread like 'Yay dey r goin 2 bring big bruv bk x' because they won't do that and they'd look like complete bellends if they did for going back on their decission.

I do think their revamp will fail epicly in their face, hopefully by this time Big Brother is on Channel Five which will hopefully be doing fine with their revamp while C4 is a mess.

It'll be like 'Ha Screw You!' to Channel 4.

Another reason C4 couldn't bring BB back is because Endemol and Five are probably in talks for BB12 because Five did say they are in the process of picking new shows and they will be announced soon.

But what do you think?
Do you reckon the producers feel stupid for axing their biggest show now?

No - it has been a complete farce this year - just further proof that bb has had its day!

No I think theyre glad to be rid of it at this point.

They dont even seem to give it much of a push anymore.

Channel four have taken a risk by not renewing the contract, while it is possible another television station picks up the contract and makes a go of it that would only be a little embarassing for C4.

C4 are hoping whatever they get/have lined up to replace it next year attracts not only more viewers than BB but also attracts more money from sponsors and advertisers. Its if the replacement program(s) dont generate the same or greater revenue than BB for the station they are going to be very embarassed
