I'd prefer an Olympic break between the 2 series rather than having 2 series run into each other as with BB11/UBB and CBB8/BB12.

Why would you want to meet those people? Not a very enticing bunch.

I've always felt that the women carry the show and the men are mostly background characters.

BB13 - 17 May to 20 July
CBB10 - 30 August to 21 September

that's what i expect anyway

[BBDodge]

BB13 is 10 weeks so May 18th-July 27th is more likely.

Edit: though July 27th is the Olympic opening ceremony so BB won't finish then.

They told us it would be last week in May or 1st week in June at the callbacks yesterday.

Ah, so it will finish during the Olympics.

Ratings slump to end with?

FALSE!!! channel 5 call it big brother 2012 or series 2

[Superowl]

cant wait for BB to start again

[Scotty07]

C5 can try calling it BB 2012 all they like or most stupidly BBC52, which would be even by C5 standards, utterly ridiculous to even think of doing. Fact is it's BB13 and nothing they can do or say will change that.

[Superowl]

anyone have an official date yet ?

[ziunim]

"The series starts in the summer!" from https://twitter.com/#!/bbuk

so: the first day of summer is June 21th witch is a Thursday

[BBDodge]

June 21st is Midsummer's day.

So it can start earlier than that.

[Jordan.]

It's not gonna be that late... 7th seems about right.

[Jack_]

Better not be as late as the 21st. I go on holiday on the 18th and I'd at least like to see a week or two before I go away.

[Callum]

How many weeks will this series be on for? Same length as BB12 or longer?
