Just been on Twitter there having a look about, and stumbled across news that Channel 5 and Endemol have renewed Big Brother to 2019?

8 More years of Big Brother?

So bringing the show up to literally, BB21?

Has this been confirmed? Like have any of you heard anything about the length of the new contract? I just seen it using the hashtags on Twitter.

If it's true, then amazing - means I'll be able to audition and go on.

BAHAHAHA, I'd smile if it was confirmed, but the thought of 8 more years of Z-list and wannabe's might be a bit too much for me to handle, the format is basically dead to be fair, everything has been done, I guarantee we'll get the shock suits again for the next series, yes it'd be good for Big Brother to be guaranteed to be on our screens for a few more years.

I would be happy if it does get continued until 2019, but I agree that everything has been done. What could they do next?

This is great news, but I can't see them doing a deal for more than 5 years tbh.

The show will evolve with time.

Which is what it's doing already - if you look at BB3 and then BB12 you can see the massive difference, the show is changing alot - people need to embrace it.

Then again, it could stay the same for 10 years and I wouldn't care - at the end of the day loads of dull shows have kept their silly format for decades.

Calm down. Calm down. Long before 2020 BB Iran would have got and dropped the bomb and no human brothers will be around after that.

P.S. Nothing like being cheerful and optimistic.

Seven years? It won't be renewed for that long. Several years != seven, it will probably be 3.

I just cannot, imagine saying..

'Oh guys not long until BB19 is on..' or something like that.

joeysteele · 13-02-2012, 04:07 PM

It would be amazing news and also wouldn't surprise me, personally I would have only expected an announcement to cover 5 more years but I for one believe BB still has a good future.

Jarrod · 13-02-2012, 04:07 PM

It's been confirmed for several years at the moment

They can ****** off.

RichardG · 13-02-2012, 05:15 PM

They're gonna have to change up the show a bit soon and improve the format though otherwise no one will be watching by the end of BB20.

Well I'd beam with happiness if this were true, but I couldn't see any broadcaster signing a contract as long as seven years for any show, unless it's perhaps a soap. It's just far too long, but I'd love it to be true...

Still Jack, having said that it is channel 5 and now they are likely adding another CBB series each year and also have the main one too, it is almost becoming a soap just with ever changing characters.

True

But the success of this show fluctuates year on year, I think it'd be too risky for a broadcaster to sign a contract that long.

Jords · 13-02-2012, 04:11 PM

Im only interested in CBB. Short and sweet, maybe extending to 4 weeks.

This.

Jarrod · 13-02-2012, 04:14 PM

Several doesn't mean Seven though.

LOL No but I was on the BBUK and CBB hashtags and seen a few people mention it earlier just.

I never would have guessed we would have more CBBs than BBs

Horrible isn't it..

That's what I was thinking, maybe 5 Years is more realistic - that's what they did on C4, was either 2 Years of 5 Years with their contracts.
