Would you prefer Teen BB or Celeb Hijack to return rather than have 2 CBBs a year?
 

I'm finding CBB10 worth watching but think CBBs are more suited to January, after BB13 this series seems like a let down, and having 2 Celeb series within a year makes the celeb version become overkill. Rather than have 2 CBBs a year would you rather Channel 5 bring back Teen BB or Celeb Hijack? Obviously more mainstream than they originally were.

In case you're unfamiliar with them, Teen Big Brother replaced CBB in 2003, had eight 18 year old HMs competing for a round-the-world holiday. The series lasted 10 days but was pre-recorded in August following BB4 and broadcast as 5 episodes on Channel 4 in November. The HMs decided who should be evicted.

Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack replaced CBB in 2008, had twelve exceptionally talented 18-21 year olds competing for £50k. The series lasted 26 days and saw a different celebrity take over the role of BB and set the HMs tasks each day. It was broadcast on E4.

I'd love another Celebrity Hijack :worship:

Yes!!!!!!!! I'd love to see BB:CH make a return, absolutely loved the original one, found it quite underrated in the sense no one really cared about it when it was such an amazing series. I would so love to see another one :worship:

Celebrity Hijack was very boring. Teen BB would be good but there'd be too many hormones flying about

Yeah another CH would be good, the way they did Teen BB sounds pretty sh*t so I'm not bothered about that

Are you not entertained?

never

IMO it would be ther better series because it gives the producers more time to plan ahead for the January CBB and regular BB while the twists and tasks for CH are planned by the hijackers themselves. And it could work if it wasn't sidelined to a sister channel like E4/5*. Could attract bigger name celebs as well

Celebrity hijack with Natalie Cassidy and the towie lot sounds like a brilliant idea.

I'd love C:H to make a return, from what I saw it was great.

You'd just get Amy Childs, Natalie Cassidy and other bellends though taking over. :bored:

:joker:

I'd like to see a return to a wider range of contestants in the mainstream BB. Confining the age group to mainly 20-30 year olds limits the appeal of the show. This is one of the reasons why the CBBs are such successful shows - the mix of ages and experiences means a far more interesting show.

That's the thing though you got bigger names in Celebrity Hijack because they didn't have to go in the house, they just had to be Big Brother for a day, that's why I'd much rather see that because it was just so good the first time.

I'd prefer for them to stick with the previous schedule, just having Celebrity Big Brother once a year. Big Brother: Celebrity Hijack was one of the worst series ever and I struggled to keep watching until the end, and I didn't like not having a public vote on Teen Big Brother.

Hijack by a million miles. Teen was crap.

I'd even rather have another BB Panto before another Teen series.

Bound to be dramatic. Also TBB was the first UK series to have sex

Yeah I think if TBB were to ever come back it would have be live like all the other series rather than pre-recorded. That way it'd feel more like a Big Brother series

I am but not to the extent CBB9 or BB13 entertained me. If not for Jasmine the first week would have been particularly dull imo. This series mix isn't as lively as I'd hoped

omg :joker:

Hijack was really dull imo, so Teen BB. Anything is better than two CBBs though.

You need to rewatch Hijack, it wasn't bad at all, infact i'd say it was better than BB8.

Little Liam jerking off under his Duvet and Joan Rivers yelling at him about it? it was great. :joker:

We basically have Teen BB already with the maturity and intellect of the standard housemates.

Celebrity Hijack with actual talented youngsters > random teens

Some of the hijackers were Joan Rivers, Matt Lucas, Mackenzie Crook, Kelly Osbourne, Russel Brand, Scott Mills and Ian Wright. Pretty good line-up. And BBLB held a competition for a fan to become a hijacker too

I'd rather have two CBBs than either of those back.

I do agree with this. BB13 had a better mix than BB12s but there's still room for improvement lol

I think that's why, for me, Celeb Hijack stuck out as being better than BB8 in some respects because BB8 was full of anoying talentless people but Celeb Hijack had young musicians, politicians, Olympians

The way Teen BB was run sounds horrific. I'd say do teen BB but have the public voting.

If you wanna watch Teen BB just watch BB AUstralia.

Isn't the new BB Aus supposed to be more family friendly? :eek:

Yeah, same.

Although as Jordan just pointed out - they would never get celebrities as interesting as Russell Brand, Matt Lucas, Dermot O'Leary, Joan Rivers, Roseanne or the Sugababes again.

I reckon they probably could. The last time had a mix of big names (if the price is right), lesser names (looking for work) and former housemates. It's been almost 5 years since BB:CH so it could come back revamped

I have known love like a *****, from at least 10 thousand more, but i swore, that you'd be the last. :)

Yeah I suppose if they can bag Pamela Anderson and the Situation there's hope of a few decent US names... but I'm concerned about the British ones :p Jedward would be an inevitability.

Jedward would SO do it. I imagine the definates are the likes of some Channel 5 CBB HMs (Jedward, Frankie, Kerry, Natalie, Denise), anyone from Celebrity Wedding Planner, The Bachelor, Jeff Brazier, Pete Burns, Lauren Harries, some boy band like One Direction, Emma Willis at some stage and perhaps dear Brian, pretty much anyone who's a 'star' on Channel 5 or has a deal with Desmond or OK! If E4's Celeb Hijack could poach some Hollyoaks babes I wouldn't be surprised if Channel 5 brought in some Neighbours or Home & Away stars.

I'd be less concerned with a Channel 5 version of UBB if they ever did that

BB:CH is the only one i didnt watch.

If Channel 5 brought it back, and on their main channel rather than 5*, would you give it a go?

Just had a thought that maybe BB:CH could boost the viewing figures for regular BB by reminding the general public that the civilian series can be entertaining. If its only on for 3/4 weeks it won't seem as long as dragged out, the viewers can dip in to see which celebs are involved and follow the civilians as it progresses. And because the first Celeb Hijack was almost 5 years ago and quite low key, Channel 5 could really big it up as something fresh, polished and exciting. If about 5 million people tuned in to see what changes Channel 5 offered BB for the CBB8 launch, I think it could get similar figures for a revamp of Celeb Hijack
