When will they start advertising?
 

Any ideas when we will see the CBB adverts?

Any time really.

If I was to guess a time I'd say Friday night just before 9pm

Well the first teaser adverts for CBB9 aired on the 10th of December 2011, so they are already behind on last year considering CBB11 starts 2 days before hand.

By the sounds of it, never...

They should start by the weekend I am guessing.

Marcus recorded the voice over yesterday, so within the next week. The series is three weeks Thursday so hopefully then or Friday.

They need to hurry up a bit! Plus I haven't seen any tweets from Brian or Emma or former housemates about being in the advert, so could we be getting one without the presenters, and a bit less camp? would be nice

Yeah, agree.
Though sadly, after that awful photo with Brian and Emma and the eye I imagine we'll get another dose of camp ads.

Back to the way C4 advertised would be good

CBB7 ads were so good.

Yeah, really loved the classical Big Brother theme, wish they had done the whole theme in that style and made it available for download or something

The C4 BB ads were as camp as christmas too, as much as I loved them.

I've just asked Jamie East about the Adverts. He said he has no idea and hasn't had anything to do with them. Here's the conversation:

@mrjamieeast Is the BB Advert Team on strike? Two weeks to go and no adverts? #cbb

@mrjamieeast Really? Strange. Thought you'd have been in the advert like in the summer.

@bbuk247 nah - only do the long run ones apparently. Channel 5 decision, not mine!

@mrjamieeast Oh right. Will you tweet if you hear anything though? Looking forward to seeing the adverts.

Its actually possible that the contract will be up in 1 years time, and five would rather save there budget then spend a fortune on marketing a show they may axe.

I could be wrong, but its clear bb particularly cbb is crucial and guarentees 2mil a night. Five desperately need those numbers and dont even advertise, almost like they want it to fail in order to negotiate a cheaper contract renewal fee.

It's not, it's not up till BB15.

What would be the point risking that guarantee and possibly shortening it's shelf life to save a few million.

I know the ads have nothing to do with the show itself and are a Channel 5 thing but looks like rehearsals are starting and STILL no ads:

Excellent, about time, don't suppose you could take a picture if you're back there anytime soon?
