C5 reducing the length of series: RUMOURS
 

@bigblaggeruk: Channel 5 are considering reducing the current length of this series, more info as we get it #bbuk #bbtimebomb

welp

Start of the End of Days for civilian BB? (ie: axing)

What was it originally?

It was 10 weeks originally

Big Blagger is normally reliable, too, so I believe this

Embarrassing ha

I heard someone say 32 days lmao

</3

If they've contracted the show for 10 weeks, they aren't able to shorten it due to the broadcasting rights etc.

death

rumours suggested its cut to 32 days bc it says 32 episodes on tv guideline or something like that, it might be a mistake only

That's a message someone sent

I doubt it would be 32 days

Omg welp it said 72 at start of the series

Probably just an error.

I hope so

That's my fault - I shared it onto Twitter, it's a mistake only by the looks of it.

Oh wow, is it really doing that badly? I would have thought anything over 1m viewers would be classed as a success for c5 really, unless its even under that :S

I don't think they could make it 32 days unless there is like a quadruple eviction every week. Wouldn't surprise me with these producers though.

Same Vicky this is exactly what I've been thinking everyone's been calling it a 'ratings crisis' but over 1m or over a 5% share is probably good for C5. Maybe if it was C4 it would be a ratings crisis but even then Indian Summers has been renewed for another three series I heard and that got under 1m viewers :umm2:

'bigblaggeruk: They are hoping for a surge in viewers next week after tonight. If that doesn't happen then the series will end earlier than planned

Costs more that most shows though

Well that's stupid since it's BGT week. If the quad was next week it might have worked in their favour.

Seems like BB is on a suicide mission
