Starting two days before the World Cup isn't pretty smart
 
I know a lot of you aren't probably football fans and the world cup might mean nothing to you. But Starting this show two days before the biggest sport event in the world isn't the smartest thing in the world. do you think the show will lose a lot of viewers for that month and would you have started it a few weeks earlier just to get the viewers(who probably are massive football fans) into the show just before some of the viewers lose interest when the world cup starts?

imagine if England make it to the final i really see BB11 suffering for at least a good month

It was either go against BGT or the world cup so i dont think they had a choice :p

Hey Steve!!! nice to see you back.

Should of started it in April to be honest. Get the series under way. The world cup will rape the BB ratings for a month and a half.

:D Are you going to be here all through the BB season then???? by the way.. I don't care for the World Cup! it sucks ass!

Jayson 06-06-2010 10:29 PM

Welcome back Stevie boy :)


Not much they could do about it really, but it's better than letting the World Cup starting before. If BB started after the WC started, then people would be too occupied by the WC to care about BB, whereas this way, people get into BB before the WC.

Beastie 06-06-2010 10:29 PM

Anyway yeah sorry.. maybe it should have started earlier.. or to be honest it is fine where it is.. but BB just has to make sure they won't clash with World Cup matches!! maybe start a bit later than usual or something!

I think the producers of the BB have to hope and pray england get knocked out early which i don't see happening cause the longer england stay the longer the World cup will hold interest in Britain.

Britains got talent and now the world cup not a good way for BB11 to start

BB is on in the summer and WC is every 4 years so good on C4 for sticking to the usual June/July start:thumbs:.

I'm really excited about the last BB but i'm more enthusisatic for the World Cup because it's awesome:hugesmile:. WB Steve;).

Fetch The Bolt Cutters 06-06-2010 10:33 PM

Are they at the same exact time? They should just change the time during the world cup.

thank you Jay :)

I think they should have started it at least two weeks before so to let us BB Football nuts get to know the Hm's before are minds wander off to south Africa for a month and a half.

oh they are at the nearest church right now praying to god:joker:

looking at the group England are in and seen they might not face a proper hard team until the QF's i can't see england get knocked out for a good few weeks.

Yep, I'd agree with that. One of the worst years to decide to have a late launch :joker:

At least the World Cup isn't too long, otherwise I'd barely watch any BB :p

omg i thought it was longer than that. its not too bad then lets hope england get knocked out asap :joker:

Boothy 06-06-2010 10:40 PM

I'm pretty sure Big Brother doesn't clash with any England matches so ratings shouldn't drop too much.
