big brother need to go to new channel station.channel 5 stay ****ing things up

[azi]

Shame because this series has been so good and the best in a long time
People are saying it's because of the Olympics.

[Greg!]

This is probably wishful thinking but they might extend it? Love island finishes in like a week and it gets higher ratings when it's not against love island. You never know

If it went to another channel it would probably be shorter.

Cancel the Olympics?

[Xtopher]

I thought it was 8 weeks long... Until I saw that Emma video.

It's probably will be exact 8 weeks long if it ends like 28th July.

She'd never survive the mass eviction they're planning.

Tbh they could've just put it on earlier if it was due to the olympics... the reality is C5 dont have a clue what they're doing and need to give it up to Sky or ITV2 ... the fact the winner is spending less time in the house than BB13 Conor just puts me off my dinner

[Cherie]

If they are ending it early it's down to the revenue, the phone lines are probably not as lucrative as they once were

Surely thats the fault of the producers for giving us two terrible civilian seasons in the last two years. By manipulating the hell out of the show they've put many people off voting, and they should try and bring people back... I honestly thought they were doing a good job so far with this series but it seems they dont understand why its all failing for them and want immediate success after years of damaging the show.

Even more of a reason why they should ditch the public vote! Maybe then the game really will change

That would equate to NO revenue and they'd stop the show.

[Babayaro.]

****ing pathetic. It's just typical though, that the first series since CBB13 that would benefit from an extension will be the shortest ever.

Doesn't stop the US and Canada from producing multiple seasons

And the public vote isn't the only thing BBUK makes money off, they have product placement now too. Make that a bit more overt and hey presto you don't need the public vote anymore

Yeah, but BBUS and Canada haven't been shunted to channel 5 after it stopped being popular.

[Vicky.]

Ugh. The best series for years and its finished before its started

Absolutely pathetic and honestly a sign that Channel 5 are prepping the axe. Their treatment of the civilian version is abominable - they've destroyed it and most of it's core audience (what's Big Brother's loss is Love Island's gain). Apparently they've also been close to pulling the plug early on the past 2 civilian series due to ratings. Also, Frow's apparently said that the ratings last year were a "problem" and that he wanted 1.5 million:

Honestly, if Endemol really do care about the show and want to keep the civilian version on the air past 2018 then now is the time to try and shop it to other broadcasters (but let's be realistic - Sky and ITV2/Be are probably it's last hope with the damage Channel 5 has done). With the way the ratings for civilian BB are going I can see C5 only going for CBB when the contract renewal comes up in 2018.

[andybigbro]

They need to sort themselves out.


Stop having two CBBs!!!!! And put more effort in to normal BB

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I'm absolutely gutted to read this news, IMHO I think this best series of BB since the move to channel 5, & the ratings aren't doing to badly either, can't get my head around why they've sorted the series so much
