And that is surely the safest bet for short-term salvage and in that sense I can understand it.
The problem I saw here - even THAT core audience seems to be slowly but surely losing interest.
Meanwhile, IF you were the many mainstream casual viewers who were losing interest because of the '20-something shallow models in a nightclub' direction of BB then you are just more likely to disappear.
But I suppose this is all it comes down to - they would rather be assured this season (and next) get that 1 million strong core than take any chances at all.

Channel 4 was the only one fooling the public, they hoped it was the end of BB,they didn't think anyone would else would in reality go for it and televise it again after they dropped it.
So Channel 4, presuming that, went all out for the final BB on its channel as if it was a Royal member retiring.
Channel 4 fooled and let the public down,not Channel 5.

Yes i think it was the 'promise' of a final Big Brother that might have left some feeling duped. Never mind that - the promise of the end of this incarnation.
Only to have the exact same program appear next season with Josie chuckling she must give back her 'Final Winner' crown and really the only difference being Davina retired and the editing seems a little off.
A number of people mentioned the LF problem and somehow trying to replace LF/online forums with Facebook/Twitter social media.
I'm not sure what to make of this? It seems to go further in alienating anyone but the youngest, shortest-attention span, mobile phone audience?
