Wasn't it reported they paid 200M for BB? as if they'd axe the main series and only keep a few weeks of CBB.

Clearly, they wouldn't have signed the contract if they weren't satisfied with BB12's ratings and they intended to air two more years of Big Brother (notice how they say Big Brother, and not Celebrity Big Brother). Given this information, it's pretty clear that Big Brother is in no danger of being axed, which is the main point I was trying to make. You said Big Brother was in danger of being axed, and I said it wasn't. I have backed it up with factual evidence why I think that, what more do you want? The press release is as close to confirmation that BB will be on for 2 more years as you can get. C5 would not have signed the contract if they did not intend to air 2 more years of Big Brother. Period. End of. They claimed the rights to airing it so no other channel could, because they WANT to air it.

And again, i'm re-iterating the fact that BB13's ratings average is STILL higher than BB12's.

But you dont know, you're just saying its "likely" Big Brothers main show will come back so its not fact and neither is it confirmed in that Channel 5 statement. so all these objections being thrown at me just for even contemplating that the regular show may be cancelled dut to the ratings decline are not very upstanding since you know nothing of the future of the main show (that article doesnt say anywhere about the main show, it just says the rights to air big brother).

Unless you work at Channel 5 then we will have to wait till next summer to find out but im betting it wont return unless we have a massive ratings boost now.

Fingers crossed.

Finally, yes Big Brother has been renewed that is a fact and is great

But cant people on here not centemplate that the channel may axe regular BB seeing as its now floppin in the ratings nightly. No article anyone has shown me talks about both the series 100% returning till 2014, just the rights to air the BB format.

Just to confirm in not saying Big Brother as a show is in danger of being cancelled but the main summer series is in danger of being dropped to make way for a longer run of 2 CBB's a year.

Alot of people on DS are discussing this and it was brought up there once the ratings decline was no more undoubtable and the members on DS can actually consider this as a possible option, on here seems like people are just scanning my posts quickly, picking out statements and not reading the full story then attacking..

And AGAIN let me reitterate that i have agreed BB officials are currently beatin BB12 but that was 2 weeks ago and we are still waiting for officials to see how its holding up now, my guess is its around 1.6/7 now down from 1.9 but this is the lowest rated week since its began, overnights for the past 2 weeks have been down on BB12.

2 weeks of ratings clinging to the 1.2 mark and weekly shows and evictions getting under 1 million is going to drag this official average down.

Can you not understand this is my opinion and im here to discuss the future of the regular series and have then been bombarded with links "proving" both shows are returning when in actual fact no links have said anything about both shows coming back, Channel 5 can decide to run CBB from now on instead but you people who have posted the links fail to ackowledge this and the facts you are presenting to me is just you doing exactly what im doing and second guessing.

Thing is im honest that this is my opinion of what i think may happen and you're addament that you are 100% in the right and know that Channel 5 will definatley bring back both shows.

Guess you sit in on board meetings at the Channel 5 offices.

Yes BB is coming back ive said that!

Wether Channel 5 decide to air more CBB instead of the regular one though is yet to be seen.

Looking at the ratings over the last 2 weeks i wouldnt be suprised.

Members on DS seem to feel the same way.

Wish you would read through my posts so you can actually understand what i mean. I know BB has been renewed. Stop skimming my posts and actually read them.

Big Brother (1.14m/6.2%)

The officials are what count. Many more people would have recorded due to the summer heat.

Cant see officials adding an insane ammount though.

Im really interested to see them.

Anyone got the latest officials from last week?

[Gstar]

What do the officials actually cover?

-Sorry if this has been asked a million times before-

[*mazedsalv**]

The officials have been adding around 400k so it does make a big difference for BB. The officials have not been shown for Ch5 which sucks this week. But it's still around 200k above BB12.

Tomorrow night, it will suffer badly. I repeat to all those... it will DO BADLY. So when we get awful ratings for Friday, don't act like BB is over. Everything will fail so hard on at 9pm tomorrow. The Olympics opening will attract an average of over 20m, possibly a peak of 25m in my opinion. BB will get less than half a million.

800k, like with the England match? Or no chance?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Noones gonna be watching Friday.

Feel sorry for the poor housemate.

[Gstar]

If it's Luke S, Ashleigh, Caroline or Conor that goes then I'm glad not much people will be watching, who would wanna see them :P

There's gonna be a lot of online catchup this weekend though

[*mazedsalv**]

BB averaged 1.25m last night excluding +1, including +1 it would have been around 1.33m I would guess. Highest rated show since Sunday. It was only around 400k lower than ITV's Quiz show which flopped. BB was up against the GB footie which peaked at 6.2m. Not bad considering everything got a low rating.

Tonight it will be very low but promising that last night was the highest of the week, just a shame tonight will be the lowest ever rating.

[Jake.]

Just letting you know, the opening ceromony averaged 23.02 Million with an 82.7% share, and peaked at 26.899 million. So be prepared.

[jackc1806]

82.7?? I hope BB beats ITV so much

Oh lord, BB has no chance

[Jake.]

Also, it looks like Channel 5 beat CH4 and BBC 2 at 10PM, and wasnt too far off matching ITV1. I reckon the plus 1 figures will be impressive.

Fair enough i watched it as well but afterwards we need a sarcasm tab on here i have a feeling that someone not quite as forum savvy will report that post
At least you took it as it was meant though.
