What kind of Crack are you smoking and where can i get some?

Why in the world would C4 allow Channel5 to announce anything before their actual "goodbye"? Are you unaware of the amount of money put into the advertising campaign promoting this as the FINAL Big Brother ever? Contracts were signed and you better believe there was one line specific to the fact that if BB does get picked up elsewhere, they wouldn't be allowed to announce it until a certain amount of time after the show ends.
C4 spent MILLIONS promoting this as the end of BB, rightfully so because that would get more viewers than had they just promote it as "just another series". There is no way in hell, absolutely NONE...that C5 would be allowed to announce their purchase of BB before C4's end, that would have wasted alot of time and money. ...and alot of lawsuits would be filed.


If contracts were signed, it would take alot of time from them to lay out a plan and blueprint of how the show will work (if changes will be made) and also alot of time to figure out the schedule. So dont expect an "official" announcement with any real detail aside form the purchase possibly until early 2011. ...after the dust from last night settles.
I wouldn't even be too shocked if they take a 1 year break possibly to abide by contractual agreements made by C4.
