So It's going to be like 8-10 days shorter than it was meant to be probably.

3.5 weeks left.

I think I will start to get bored in around 3 weeks time so I'm not too fussed tbh as the BB series' I've watched have been a bit stale during the final 1/2 weeks.

I guess an early August final would have been though as July probs going to go really quick.

[andybigbro]

Yes! So annoyed

[y.winter]

I wouldn't call it "slightly", so yes - it bothers. They should have done it last year, not this year...

Exactly, last year was so meh compared to this year's

[Mystic Mock]

The series is a bit average, and the ratings are poor.

Imo Endemol need to make a BB3, BB5, or BB6 type of quality if they want an audience to watch the show for 10 to 13 weeks like they used to.

[Strictly Jake]

I love this series so much so I want it to be much much longer

[lewis111]

I mind because this series is really good, how can this be over 2 weeks shorter than BB15

I maybe wouldn't mind as much if they had less HMs and could avoid this mass eviction

[MB.]

Yeah, especially when it's been a good one like it has this year

[Ross.]

Yeah it's annoying that they've actually produced a decent series but ended up cutting the length of it

[MB.]

And especially when it's half the length of BB7-BB10

[nonstop]

Nope. After loosing Georgina it's already over.

[Adamw92]

When the series has been as good as this one, yes it does bother me.

[cookiemonster]

i didn't even watch the last 8/10 days of last years, or the final, coz they messed it up so bad, but i'm liking this years a lot. so i am annoyed. 8 or however many weeks is not long enough!!

[Jamie89]

Doesn't bother me at all. Tbh, even if it was like 6 weeks, that's still a really long time when there's an episode every night. 8 weeks is long enough imo

[Babayaro.]

Yes, absolutely.

[Razor]

Any loss of time in the BB house isn't good.

[Dylan95]

Yes it's ridiculous it's nearly becoming the same length as CBB wish they'd scrap summer CBB for a longer series

[reece(:]

It's a joke when trash series get longer runs but we finally get a decent-ish series after 3 average ones and it's cut short!

[Clootie Dumpling]

The earlier, longer series were engrossing because they were longer.

Eight weeks is not long enough for relationships to grow, factions to form, game players to get into their stride.

This totally agree

I dunno if I agree, by the 8 week I think all of those things had already formed if I remember correctly, it's normally the point at which it winds down imo

Have they confirmed why?

Perhaps Emma wants a break between CBB and BB to spend more time with her baby?

It's probably the ratings - Frow's apparently said that that 1.5 million is "the magic number":

[supertv247]

Definitely, because it's getting shorter every year now. Looking back to my favourite series, BB7, this will be 40 days shorter.. Ridiculous
