Its to much and this series just seems to be hollow and pointless.
We started off the year with the highest rated CBB averaging 2.81 and the final bringing in 3.61 million viewers which was massive for Channel 5.
Then the normal summer series became a surprise ratings/media hit and for the first time since 2010 highlight shows were weekly hitting over 2 million and older viewers were returning with eviction nights becoming events again as ratings showed.
The final then brought in 2.2 million which was almost 500,000 up on BB13's 1.7 million.
Without CBB12 this year would have been seen simply as the year Channel 5 had 2 hit shows on their hands and how BB managed to make a comeback.
Now we can expect headlines at the end of Summer BB's "CBB records lowest final ever" making people think the whole franchise is a flop.
For one year it would be nice to just have the January CBB and BB14 go out on a high and left to leave a lasting impression and hunger for more next year.
That's just my opinion though lol.

You mean the summer CBB axed? Not the entire CBB? lol. I agree if you mean the summer CBB. It has ruined the momentum of 2013 which has been an incredible year for BB in general and for Ch5 with both the CBB and BB series average getting their highest on Channel 5 (CBB11 actually beat CBB8 in rating by 10k in the officials, and BB14 being 300k up on both BB12 and BB13).
CBB12 is not too bad, but I am starting to think it may rate a tiny bit lower than CBB10. Not too sure though because judging by the first few ratings, the officials timeshifted a brilliant 500k-600k for the weekend shows.
I think this year the officials will save CBB12. We will see tomorrow when the next batch are released, I think the officials will end up being around the same as CBB10 (2.3m), if not, 2.2m. No lower than that.
But, in general, they must only have a winter CBB and then a summer BB. That's it. It would launch with more I think (especially CBB in the winter)
