[Time]

We're still going to have 12 housemates by the end of tonight, highly doubt there's only 14 days left.

C4's budget is bigger and supported by government funding

C5 is out of Viacoms back pocket only

Are they really that clueless?

If they put 10-15 normal people in the house, had good tasks, normal nominations, no twists, and live feed, then the viewership would double.

They can't see that they have killed the golden goose by persistently messing with it and insulting the intelligence of the public.

I also read somewhere that one of the American channels was giving funding

Are the producers stupid? It's going to be clashing directly with BGT and Corrie tonight during the 9pm hour which is going to bring it's average rating down anyway, they should've left the quad eviction until next week when there's less competition if they're desperately trying to get the ratings up.

As a fan of the show since day 1, I'm really upset to read this, I really hope these rumours are false, cause personally I think this has been a cracking series .....so far. I would really be upset to see civillian BB dropped from our screens.

I don't believe there are any truth to the rumours tbh

[Jason.]

I'm taking this with a pinch of salt, until it is actually confirmed by Channel 5.

[Chuckyegg]

They should reduce the amount of mirrors reflecting through purple patterned glass onto blue and orange glitter through reflective wardrobe doors behind shocking pink polka dot walls reflected onto glittery green windows in front of pink and purple mirrored furniture.
I'm getting a headache.

[jackc1806]

I've always been one to quash speculation as rubbish, but this seems reminiscent to the end of the C4 days. I think they'll honour the contract until 2018, but will civvy BB survive?

[Calderyon]

Does it say in their contract that they have to do BB and CBB until 2018 or is it just that as long as they are airing either one, they are honoring their contract?

[Jack_]

Put it this way, if they reduce the length of the series I won't be watching the summer CBB

And if they axe the civilian series completely I won't be watching the show again

[Calderyon]

^ I think that´s their eventual plan though. I guess they don´t see it as a money bringing show. (the civilian version)

They could make it so that i could be, but i guess they don´t see it as worthy of their time and effort.

They contracted both, so must show both.

Oh I knew ever since it was brought to C5 with their obsession with CBB that they'd eventually axe the civilian show, but when they do, I'm done too

[newsbb]

if this were to be true, i dont think they would be throwing 4 newbs tonite

[ruiphillips]

Good. Less of this flop series the better.

This is what I've been saying. They've picked the worse time possible to do this, with it only being announced Wednesday at 11pm.

They should have definitely waited until next week, announced it Sunday and left a whole week for the news and hype to spread.

maybe they had these four new ones ready to go in at some stage, had contracted them to go in, but if the show is cut, they can't break the contract so are sticking them all in together tonight to give them a couple of weeks in the show. Maybe thats why four are in and four are out.

Don't talk sense. It's not welcome anywhere anymore.
