Default Would Secret Story Have Being Successful?
If channel 5 did this.
Left CBB/BB till jan 2012
Started A Celeb Secret Story (Jan/feb)

Normal Secret Story in June/July - August/September

Would it have being a successful show?
-including Livefeed
-No editing like now

Would we have seen heights of 3 million viewers + ?

I personally think it may have done well

(Die hard cult fans off BB would follow)
Non fans would give it a go

Good show = hooked audience

Secret Story is like the French version of BB, Portugal has it too.

Basically all the housemates have secrets and no-one should find out, something like that.

Doesn't seem much different to BB of what i've just read on Wikipedia, but i've never seen it before. So i would have to say i dont know, if it work in the UK, cause we are used to BB.

I'm looking forward to seeing Secret Story Australia. It will be the first english language version of Secret Story i think.

If it's successful in Australia, then maybe an American Network might pick it up and do an AMerican version of SS. I hope so!

Don't like the format, I don't want a gameshow. They should just aim for BB3/5.

OMG we had 1 in the Netherlands this year...
It would be the show of the year, but in the end only 250.000 people were watching

I'm still glad that I can watch Big Brother from the UK !

I'm not sure, maybe. I'd rather see an UK version of BBUSA.

I think it would, the concept needs changing to spark re-interest, and SS would have been enough.
