Question Big Brother's Life Expectancy on Channel 5.

So we know there will be a Big Brother 12 [no sh*t] and we certainly know now there will be a Big Brother 13.

The contract expires after next year, right?
So as it stands - Big Brother 13 is the final series, at this moment - unless they do two series in one year and skip the stupid celebrity series, then BB14 is the final series.


Anyway, lets recap;
Spoiler:


Channel 4 signed a contract for Big Brother obviously in 2000 for if IRC 5 Years.

[I'm a little shaky on that so don't get pissed if that's incorrect].

The contract was extended from 2004 to 2006.

BB7 was brilliant; so they got really cock sure and decided to splash out and take Big Brother on for another 5 years.
LOL I bet they regretted that straight after Jade Goody returned.



I think Endemol are only interested in signing 2 Year or 5 Year Contracts with broadcasters as we have seen in the past now.

So what do you honesty think the life expectancy for Big Brother is now on Channel 5?
I realize it's too early to say, obviously - but I want to know this for 2 reasons:

1) I just want to hear what you lot think.

2) I want to audition for the show, and I had planned to audition for BB15 but now I've just realized I won't be 18 until the end of Summer 2014, so I'll actually not be able to be a housemate until BB16.
The age should be lowered to 16 - Just saying.


Yeah so what do we think?

Channel 5 - is a laughing stock we all know that, BB is their biggest show.
If BB12 can maintain the usual 3 Million then surely in their eyes that would be BIG ratings and enough to put more effort and attention into the show, rather than other C5 shows that 9 people watch.
