Default With the end approaching, do you feel it should be a longer series?

I just feel like it’s hardly been on. On todays show it was like Day 28. Thinking about the classic series back in the day the series were just getting started then.

There is also far too many housemates still in! Just feel it’s all seemed rushed! Hopefully next year, it’s on for longer!

Maybe we could have had another 2 weeks at least but I can see why it was so short for the first series with ITV, they clearly wanted to test the waters for it, I think next series will be longer.

Yes. However, after looking forward to a nightly live feed, i must say i've been really disappointed with that.

It’s always good to leave people wanting more
I think for its return it’s been good
We have had plenty of drama over a short period

No I think this length has been perfect and well executed.

Most of the more interesting ones have left, I'm not getting much drama vibes from here on in. So the sooner the better for this one for me..

Na

I only really like Trish , Henry and Yinrun and all three are constantly being tortured in one way or another

The sooner that Olivia , Jenkin , Tom and Chanelle are out of my life for ever .. the better

Preferably yes, but the idea of watching the garden crew for another month does exhaust me

I don't think the current dynamics would work if this series was any longer. The house is too divided and it would just end up being miserable for the last few weeks

I think the length is actually not too bad, I think next time needs less housemates next time though

The decision by ITV to take on Big Brother was at the beginning of the year during which time they have had to custom build the house, audition potential housemates and fit the programme into their schedule which is decided many months in advance. I'm sure they'll evaluate the success or otherwise of this first series and it will almost certainly be longer next year. Don't forget there's also a celebrity edition in the new year so that has be taken into account too. My main problem with this series is the housemates, many of whom have had TV experience before, and the rumour that the housemates are being told what to do and therefore the show is partly scripted. Nevertheless I'm pleased it's back and I am thoroughly enjoying it, even more so if Yimrun walks out the winner.

No, I'm glad there's only one week left. I've had enough.

Yeah, I wish it was 2 or 3 weeks longer because in some ways it feels like the intensity of the dynamics have only formed pretty recently. It's crazy to think that in classic BB, Day 28 would still be relatively early in the game and now we are almost at the end.

Surprisingly, the length of it hasn't bothered me as much as I thought it was going to. It would be nice to have a couple more extra weeks but so far they've done a decent job of evicting housemates without it feeling too rushed.

I think it has been on long enough because it is too edited for my liking. I am glad the show is back but I want old BB back.
