Do you think they would or not?

tbh, it's been a fail for me. They probably would have just continued with BB11.

Yes!...Of course they would!...It probably wont be a fail in their bank-balance!

On second thoughts....Maybe they would'nt?...because if they could see in to the future...They'd just clean up on the lotteries and GGs instead!...

[InOne]

How has it been a fail? lol

[ILoveTRW]

It has been a million times better than BB11, if anything I think they are regretting not doing this All Star series all summer.

Endemol, like all companies, exists to make money.

For them, the question of whether UBB has been a success or failure will be decided by their accountants!

why do you think it's a fail? I'm loving it!

It hasn't been a fail.

I'll second that

In entertainment terms BB11 was a bit of a fail, although it probably made a decent profit for Endemol.

UBB is certainly arguably better entertainment than BB11 (although that may not be saying much!) I suspect though, with the big fees being paid out to some HMs and perhaps lower voting, it may be less of a success financially.

One can only hope and pray that it is a financial DISASTER, bottom line - only the money counts!

What makes you think that UBB is making a loss?

I didn't say that at all.

I am suggesting it will turn out to be less profitable. All depends how much monye they are raking in (advertising + voting money) minus fees to HMs and of course their normal operational expenses.... and Davina!

We may not be ecstatic about how they run the show!...But i'd bet my pension that they would'nt have put it on if it was'nt an earner Caudlehalbard!

Absolutely. But they cannot predict how much interest the viewing public will take or how much voting (= money) will go on.

Although I am guessing the voting money is a good deal less than the advertising sponsorship - probably by a very, very long way.

its been a fail to the people who are not enjoying it (but still watching it, wierdly).......and to those who are liking it, it has not been a fail.

[_Seth]

*I* just find it to be a fail because of how there's no alcohol, there's been sh** HMs (Ulrika instead of Pete Burns who WANTED to do it) and music on tasks etc...

Only in your opinion. However many don't share it.

That's only you opinion though. I would rather Ulrika than Pete Burns, I hated him.

don't know why but I think that they where guaging thoroughout BBII how successful it was. Presumably looking at viewing figures and voting numbers. Remember the housemates where expecting it to go on a lot longer. Obviously they still had to fill the the schedules so they came up with the idea of pulling it all together with a lot of previous contentants. I am surprised with how much the UBB contentants know of other BB contentants. I may know their first names but certainly not their seconds.
