no they cant end big brother

To be fair, if it doesn't improve this year. There will be no point continuing it. But axeing it rather than fixing it is NOT the answer.

Can't say im not surprised.

We all knew this news would eventually come, its quite a tired format, but it had its good years

And hopefully, if it gets picked up by sky or five, it will continue to have it's good years. With a broadcaster that wants it, not one that's lumbered with it.

Aye, perhaps they'd revamp it finally

We can't really take this as concrete proof. It is The Sun we're talking about. But I think BB has had it run to be honest. There's no point dragging out the inevitable, we knew it was coming, and I have to agree with the 'Producer', it would of been nice to end the show on this series.
Until we have solid confirmaton from C4 however, I will take this with a pinch of salt. Although we do know the contract is ending next year so there may be some truth in it.

The quote pretty much says they are commisioned to do one more, but they would have liked to end at 10 instead

You never know!! it could be a good thing having an end date to work towards!! ::shrug::



Take 'Lost' for example, Season 1 great, season 2 good, season 3 & 4 pointless,

Get's an end date. (between 4th & 5th season)

Season 5 great again!!:shrug:::

PS. check out my new eye for BB10!!

They're quoting Angela Jain, who's in charge of Big Brother at C4, not some random, un-named insider and The Sun are pretty reliable with their pre-BB news anyway. They had Rex, the blind housemate and the black van entries last year confirmed before anyone else.

Channel five will bid for it.. They can show spin-offs and live feed on fiver.. There is still a demand for the show!

Thing is.. as someone pointed out I think on D.S., channel 4 may have a clause in the contract stopping other channels taking it on for a year or two after they stop airing it.. in which case, interest could wane from the other channels.

Am a surprised. Anyway it is from The Sun/Daily Star which are very untrustworthy papers.

We all knew they had a contract to do until BB11, and after that they will decide weather or not they want to bring it back after that.

Its too early to make a decision, anything can with the ratings in the next 2 years which could easily reverse the decision
I can easily see Five of ITV picking it up on the cheap

I'm not really surprised, tbh. I hope it takes a year or two off then move to another broadcaster, such as ITV.

It's a tired format, It needs a break really, a few years break. Then come back with a fresh format.
I didn't bother with BB last year because it was packed with people i couldn't like, no likeable people.
The last BB i've watched throughout and enjoyed was BB6

I agree, I think BB should have a few years break then make a comeback with improvements and a new format!
I didn't really watch it last year, and usually I'm really into it

i agree with you on the fact it's still to early to decide, BB10 could be the best series ever, very unlikly but still, then they might keep it. I hope they get a new contract.

Hang on
Ch4 have not confirmed this yet.

we all know its gonna end at one point or the other and i'm sure this figure isnt a new date i agree it needs a break for a couple of years they should do it every 2 years or even every 4 years to build it to be better

i don't think i will miss it that much.
it has to end sometime.

Theyve been doing auditions...tabloid shite again! must have been running out of stories!

If its true then I don't think its the end of BB by a long shot ... if BB isn't picked up by a smaller channel (or even ITV with the trouble they're in) then I'll be in shock. If Big Brother itself doesn't come back, I can guarantee that a show with the same format will air.
