I think this is the perfect length. The 30+ day series always drag in the last week or so.

Confirmed in the Channel 5 final exchanges. Schedule:

Celebrity Big Brother Final - 9pm - 10:45pm
Celebrity Big Brother's Bit on the Side - 10:45pm

The series is billed as 30 episodes overall, but the final will be episode 25 - so it's been cut by 5 days.

That explains why we had the pointless launch task, then? I did wonder why they didn't just start the "members club" twist on launch night, then boot someone out on Day 4....

I think it's listed as 30 eps because the Friday evictions are split into two shows

Oh!

Greg! 09-08-2017 04:43 PM

I wonder why they cut it then, that's a bit concerning. I think BB might be getting the axe sadly!

Jake. 09-08-2017 04:51 PM

Good

HBIC 09-08-2017 05:04 PM

Not a good sign.

y.winter 09-08-2017 05:15 PM

No new housemates then.
And plenty backdoors :nono:

According to Marcus Bentley, the days of Big Brother in 2016 and 2017 are the same. So maybe they have a set amount of days now and this year they split it by adding 4 on to BBUK and deducting from CBB?

This makes sense, but I have no idea why that would've started half way through a contract

Cbb17 (32) + bb17 (50) + cbb18 (30) = 112 days
Cbb19 (32) + bb18 (54) + cbb20 (25) = 111 days

Just for comparison in 2015

Cbb15 (31) + bb16 (66) + cbb16 (29) = 126 days

So they've aired around two weeks less BB/CBB than they used to for the past couple years

Goodbye BB.

Yes. :(

If they are axing the show they better give us one last civilian series, they can't end it all on a bloody celeb version!

Nah do a mixed Ultimate Big Brother 2 to end it.

Cal. 09-08-2017 05:56 PM

Marcus says it's always been 25 days long.!

Well Marcus is wrong, because the episode count was 30 and is now 25. It's literally written in black and white

BB-Germany 09-08-2017 07:27 PM

I'm not bothered as this series is extremely bad, but they really need to bring their A-game next january if they want their ratings back tbh.

3 lackluster series in a row ratingswise.
And the worst year for CBB quality wise since it moved to C5 imo.

Civilian BB has been great though.

BB20: Nikki's Final Dance

Jodie. 09-08-2017 08:00 PM

Well apparently they ARE listening so what if they’ve read TiBB and saw people complain about civilian getting shorter and CBB getting longer; this year has had the opposite

Marcus says a lot of things. C5 officially listed it as 30 episodes long in their exchanges issued to press.

iRyan 09-08-2017 08:54 PM

Seems way too short

BigBrotherGuy100 09-08-2017 10:21 PM

They should axe it after BB20
