Scheduling
 

According to bbspy, there's still no final scheduled, and absolutely no sign of CBB. There's actually an eviction episode marked on C5s preliminary schedules for July 28th (day 54)

Are they just holding out to see where love island ends or is this series actually longer than we thought?

Interesting. Wonder what is going on.

Here for them to break the series length record and be on for over 100 days. Imagine that we weren't even a third of the way through yet :skull:.

But Rylan and Emma said we're halfway through the other day :skull:

I hate the fact that they just make it up as they go along nowadays

Here for them extending it if it means less backdoor evictions. There are rumours that LI is also going to be extended so they probably don't want the final to clash with it.

Never thought I’d say this but thanks LI bc this series will be extended now probably <3

LI only has 2 weeks left.

It might be extended due to how successful it’s been

It should end Monday 24th (which is why it's confusing that BB was meant to end Thursday 27th, but isn't) but there's reports it has been extended a week

LI's 2 million viewers to flock to Big Brother and give them their best ratings since Channel 4?

What does preliminary mean x

Planned, not official yet. Draft listings

It means that something is expected to happen but it could possibly change before then. E.g. It appears that there will be an eviction on the 28th of July but it could still change. Like a rough draft kind of thing.

Not joking I'm kinda preached for this to happen with CBB when all the love island fans are having withdrawal symptoms

We can only hope. Imagine if Love Island indirectly helps save Big Brother from cancellation :joker:.

That'd be something.

Apparently they're looking to extend Love Island by 10 days... that would mean ending on Thursday the 3rd of August.... so either BB is going to be like 64 days long, love island will clash with the BB final and CBB launch or there's gonna be a big gap between BB and CBB while the BB final is left to die against love island.......

Ew I hope they don't extend LI. I'd be here for a 64 day Big Brother though. Honestly I don't think it should be any less than that. That's what it was originally and it annoys me that last years is the only one to be less.

if we are getting loads of Sam and Ellie then i don't want BB18 to be 64 days :worry:

another four new housemates?

Okay actually I agree. Ellie and Sam for a backdoor eviction next week then.

It would be tragic for this series to be regular length when last series was only 50 days

This series does NOT deserve to be longer than BB17 :nono:

Interesting!

Extend it as long as they want. BB18 is amazing.
