Ryland did announce on BOTS that BB is half way thru and audience did cheer with him. He was so happy.

I would be so annoyed if this does happen, and it would be a damn shame to see civilian BB slowly disappear because of it

While I never expected the Summer CBB to last 7 weeks I did expect some sort of extension in length to January's CBB17 series. I guess that BB17 was meant to last 10 weeks and CBB18 5 weeks but now with this series being cut to 8 weeks they have an added 2 weeks to show which has been added to CBB18. Dread to think how long CBB19 in Januay will be though, probably 9 weeks with a 6 week BB18 in June.

In a way though our celebs get it easy in the UK as in Australia their I'm a Celebrity lasts 45 days and Bigg Boss in India goes over 100 days.
