Default 10 weeks or 13 weeks?

Do you prefer the old style C4 series that lasted or 90 odd days or the C5 way which lasts for around 70 days?

It's hard to say, but if they ditched the pointless summer CBB which would you pick?

Poll to come

13 weeks only works when there are more than 16 Housemates, and tbh I prefer it when there are fewer of them because we get to know them better.

10 weeks

90+ days is too long, especially for a C5 series imo considering none of the twists etc that they do particularly excite me. They'd struggle to keep me watching every episode towards the end.

To be honest I agree with this. Maybe a little more, 6 or 7 weeks perhaps. That's when I start turning it off and getting bored with it. If they could squeeze in a couple of good twists (no more safe house nonsense) and have some really good housemates, that would be my perfect length.

90 odd days, but they would need about 10 more housemates

I used to love 13 weeks.. but I couldn't have seen any C5 series lasting 13 weeks, and I'm tired of this series now, I'll be glad it's ending, it's knackered me.

I preferred the longer run on C4 with more HM's and live feed 24/7 but think the 10 week run on C5 is fine now we only get 2 hours of LF at night.

13 weeks with more housemates, plenty for me to support with enough having a great run. Can drag if it's not a series I am really enjoying though, BB8 seemed to go on forever.

9 weeks.

I couldn't imagine this series lasting another month especially with the housemates we have left.

CBB should not be broadcast straight after either as ive said plenty of times.

1 CBB a year and 1 summer BB makes them event television and not something to just watch and forget in a few days.

I'd be happy with both really but I chose 10 weeks, that has certainly become enough for this series now after BB's awful consistent meddling with noms and evictions.

Totally agree after watching this series.
I would have put an extra 2 in to start with and then had a midweek on Wednesday and a double on Friday.
Then only the final is low on housemates.

I prefer 13 weeks but this series is going stale because all the bores are left, if we had another 3 weeks with Sam and Sophie I'd switch off

Would prefer that the regular season carry on for the entire summer and not be chopped off for another version of CBB. I can't beleive this series is over already. Have enjoyed it. With a longer schedule there would obviously be more hosuemantes including a return to additon housemates part way through. That being said, I do get why C5 wants an additonal CBB in the summer givne the higher ratigns it garners.

13 weeks would be good if they put in about 16 + 2 newbies a few weeks in with the first eviction not being until the second week.
