BB pushed back due to General Election?
 

Thoughts?

probably wont even launch on the 14th

that's just 3 weeks away we would have the eye now kmt

At the latest, we'd need the eye tomorrow.

Brilliant..no doubt I will be up all night Thursday, so an early night on Wednesday for this old biddy.

I sincerely doubt the forgot about the election.

:laugh: true it's been hard to miss

I'd also like to see the Daily Star as the source article, as over the last few weeks Blagger has become slightly unreliable.

How does it feel to be the first person on earth to ever say that?

If it launches during 22nd-29th May, that's most likely when Britains Got Talent semi-finals will be on since they usually do them when parents are off work and children are off school on the half-term holidays. So BB could see it's worst launch figures ever if it runs then.

Although I might be wrong about BGT, idk.

I can totally see BB being pushed back into June again and just lasting 7/8 weeks tbh.

...is this the first mention in the press of the series beginning in May? That's a good sign, surely - even if it is the Daily Star?

It wouldn't be the first time that the star has made a headline out of nothing other than unsubstantiated rumours. Especially now Desmond doesn't even own the channel.

But now that Desmond doesn't own the channel, they'd surely have less of a reason to make a story about something not particularly important like the start date.

I'm sure I read somewhere that Viacom had done some completely ridiculous deal so that the Daily Star still covers BB :think:

Well, someone's got to. :laugh:

So it was meant to start 2 weeks from now? Last year we had the eye 1 month before the launch

Great, the night before my english exam. Better not be the 14th

:joker:

I'm cackling.

This piece of news is making me more sure of a mid-May launch, but if they are planning to launch on the 14th, then it would be wise to reveal the eye today, by the latest.

BB15's eye was revealed about four weeks before the series launched. 14th May is three weeks away - so they're already a week late, compared to last year.

Yeah that's correct current new deal will see the sun covering bb this summer as well but not as much coverage as the star

sounds unbelievably stupid. I hope for them it's not true.

WHY DO THEY CAAAAAARE?

The ratings are irrelevant at this point, BB has a very niche audience, we all understand this.

It's as if they only care about the launch ratings in order to get a quick tabloid headline. It's all smoke and mirrors.

Do you really think the producers "forgot" about the election? 14th May my ex-fiancees birthday so maybe it will be then. Hunch;)

If they did they are taking the "no contact with the outside world" rule a bit too rigidly.

They forgot about that too?! D:

It isn't anywhere in the provisional schedules for the 14th so I doubt it.
