Secret Story would never be on UK TV. Where did you get that mental idea from anyway?

...why wouldn't it? It won't be around when Big Brother's on air, but it's obvious Endemol will shop it around once BB eventually does get axed

Big Brother hasn't worked here for quite a long time. It's just us ****zos left watching it.

Look at the amount of times CBB8 destroyed Channel 4 and even BBC2 (sometimes) in the ratings and.audience share. Channel 5 was getting over double the share than what it is currently. So why would it be quickly cancelled?

Channel 5 will hardly say its going to be axed when they're just half way through their contract. I don't think Channel 5 will get rid of it completely though, I just think they'll drop the main series and have 2 celeb series per year



That was just the novely of BB being back though, plus the public love celebrity based reality shows. The audience fell off a cliff during BB12 and was regularly beaten by the other 4 channels. Even a crap rating series of Million Pound Drop did better than most evictions when head to head. The last remotely popular series of Big Brother was BB9. Nothing can be done to save main BB but the celebrity one probably has another 2 or 3 series left yet.

Don't get me wrong, I understand that BB12's rating were not great. But they still boosted Channel 5's audinece share. I'm not saying ratings and beating off the other ratings from other channels are not important, but truth is, look at how many viewers Channel 5 is getting a night, without Big Brother on. I fully expect this next CBB to reach the ratings of CBB8, maybe even top them. Also, BB13 may not suffer as much, as this time around, viewers have some breathing space. And with this Celeb series to have some livefeed, even more could be back for the summer (aslong as ratings for the small live feed are high enough, that is).

Well unless you have a BARB box that measures ratings all that watching will get you nowhere.

Happy little chappie you are.

I read somewhere that revenue from advertising had increased by like 70% or something because of Big Brother?
