:amazed: lets just hope this doesn't come out of civilian BB time.

Great news loving this series its amazing:)

The news is quite bizzare. Surely they can't randomly extend a series in the middle of its run? I'm pretty sure it would be the first time ever that this has happened :shocked:

Agree would love to see civilian bb back to 12-13 weeks

Good!
This and BB14 have been the best since before BB11.
Channel 5 are finally getting the tasks and casting just right.
We'll never have live feed back, but that's the one thing that has stopped this from being up there with CBB4 and BB7 for me,

happened in the most recent bb australia series, it was extended by two weeks

Certainly in the UK, but not unheard of in the world of Big Brother - just last year Big Brother Australia extended its latest season by two weeks half way through.

I'm sure the housemates' contracts will cover this - they probably stipulate the housemate must be available for a maximum amount of days that accounts for a possible extension

Matt, I have to agree with you on this.

This I would be so annoyed if it does, I much prefer civilian BB to CBB, but I totally have my doubts if this is true. especially as it came from the Daily Star.

:worship:

I think this shows that Big Brother still has a lot of life in it. If they're extending the series then that surely shows that not only this series is performing better than expected, but C5 are also happy with how the format is benefiting the channel overall?

It's great news either way.

I'm personally hoping summer CBB gets axed tbh and the main civilian series is extended by a week or two.

Great! Three weeks is too short. :dance:

Maybe they've got a surprise new housemate they couldn't resist signing up so extended it?

Someone like Janice Dickinson would be perfect.

:amazed:

It's been confirmed now, final will be 28th

When was it supposed to end?

That doesn't seem much of an extension to me, just a bit over 3 weeks as usual its random its on a Tuesday aswell.

I would rather it end on a Friday to be honest, makes the final more of an event.

Im thinking the real reason is Channel 5 have probably bought in some new American import they want to screen. With it being on a Tuesday theres no reason to split the final into 2 which is a positive though.

Might only be 4 days more BUT Its 4 days MORE wooooooooooooo

:dance::dance::dance:

i can not tell you copy and pasts that from wikipedia :hehe:

It'll be for lees benefit, they will leave him in on his own shivering under a table in the kitchen.

how are they allowed to do this, they all signed contracts for 3 weeks

Did you see the contracts or something?

Big Brother can change the rules at anytime is pretty much the way it goes.
