No, not lost the plot at all.

Channel 4 was the only one fooling the public, they hoped it was the end of BB,they didn't think anyone would else would in reality go for it and televise it again after they dropped it.
So Channel 4, presuming that, went all out for the final BB on its channel as if it was a Royal member retiring.
Channel 4 fooled and let the public down,not Channel 5.

The choice of housemates for CBB would have been limited, depending on availability, the deal was only signed in April. They though, (Channel 5), got it back on TV by August, that was not a lot of time for celebrities they may have been approached to alter their commitments.I believe stronger celebrities will be in the next one.


I think again a very good mix of housemates are in BB too this year again after a short time of getting it going on TV again.
As to ratings, they are really good for Channel 5 and that is how it has to be perceived now, whether BB is a massive success on Channel 5 or not will only be seen by how the ratings are averaged out this year and then to compare them with what it gets in next years CBB and BB on Channel 5.

I see this CBB and BB series as the guinea pig runs by Channel 5, if they are at the end of it averaging 2 million viewer ratings overall,it will be seen as a success and lots to build on.Learning also how to likely improve on that and the series.

I expect they will bring in more footage of the series next year,probably something on the lines of live feed too and that will enhance the series too and help it remain a success for Channel 5.

They haven't lost the plot, maybe they should have waited until 2012 to bring it back but I am glad they didn't,they still have a strong audience to go forward with and build on.

Channel 4, let the BB followers and the public down by dropping it, it has far worse rated things on its channel that it sticks with all the time.
Channel 4 thought it was 'its' series and no one could ever screen it again likely, they were the losers and even with these viewing figures at present for BB on Channel 5, it still would have been beating the socks off most of what remains transmitted on Channel 4 now too.
