tbh you can't really determine what a fauxmance is, people said JJJ was one, and 6 months down the line they're still together

This.
They should just spend less time on them then, like in BB6 when Maxwell and Saskia were together the whole show wasn't about them.

In BB9 the whole show wasn't about Luke and Bex.

We just saw enough time of them to like/hate them same goes for other romances.
In BB11 Josie and John were SHOVED down our throats.

It ruined John's chances because he was a legendary housemate and should of won, but she dragged him down the cow.

No, just means the full, original article is no longer available to view as Broadcast magazine's site requires a subscription to access.

Btw, this has also been reported in The Sunday Times with mention of Desmond wanting to breath new life into the format.

Oh so you think the people who have connections with C5 just added those parts in to make it sound more exciting? Fair enough.

The Five Years thing is abit, well shocking considering how much bad press the show had got. But I suppose as the article said it depends on how well the show does.

I really hope extending the show isn't true though, that would destroy it.

Oh Cool!
It's weird it's not even in the Daily Star though? I mean Desmond owns that paper, surely a way to get publicity would be to put it in that?

Actually if this is true and in a few weeks time we get it confirmed, I wonder if Desmond will have Big Brother plastered all over his paper?
Think about it, it's free advertising really to boost the show's ratings alot.

I can see the headlines now: 'BBIG COMEBACK!' followed by a picture of the Big Brother 12 Logo.

If this is true, then the fact that neither side has accepted the invitation to confirm or deny it suggests they have some sort of non-disclosure, confidentiality agreement (plus talks could fall through again yet).

Well this was obviously going to happen... with the direction Desmond is taking Channel Five, Big Brother totally fits the bill. I'm pretty sure we'll get a series this year. The house is there, coz the extended the lease, all they've got to do is cast, plan & redo the house. That's beside revamping the **** out of the format.

Think about it, it takes ages to do the house up especially when the house is completely tore apart inside, at least in previous years they had a fair base because the rooms where still there.

Auditions take ages to plan, advertise, narrow down etc

I can't see us getting BB12 this year, sadly.
It'd be so rushed, ESPECIALLY if he wants to extend it.

It'd run waay into September because it wouldn't start until July or something.

In a way, I want there to be one ASAP but if it was on next year, we'd finally be on track instead of constantly being one year behind the series.

Example:

2008, Big Brother 9.
2009, Big Brother 10.

It'll be:

2012, Big Brother 12

LMFAO.

Dude about 6 people walked out of BB11 and that was on for like just over 11 Weeks.

There's going to be tons of walk outs.

[Smithy]

Patrick you say "This" far too much

[Patrick]

How?

Omg just log in and see a new BB12 forum

[Jords]

Im so excited, hope to have BB back on our screens next year!

[Beastie]

Yes. I knew it would be back. I know it will be back!!!!

[Beastie]

Apparently Dawn French is a big fan of the show. However it's clear that Emma Willis would be a fantastic house for Big Brother.

Other people who would be good would be Caroline Flack and Fearne Cotton. However not sure if these 2 are actually fans of Big Brother. It would help if the new presenter actually watched the first 10 years of BB

12 people living inside her?


Caroline Flack presented BBBM a few times I think and Fearne Cotton is mates with Davina so, possibly. But Fearne's presenting style is a little irritating. Like on that Must Be The Music, her kind of monotonic voice was grating. Although, after Davina's shouting it might be a nice change lol.

The show will be revamped. Channel 5 will be more lenient and give al the housemates more booze and parties.

It should ALWAYS be a vote to SAVE.

Not sure if they will do this though. The company earns more money if it's a vote to EVICT. More people vote if it's a vote to EVICT I think.

However with a vote to save it will more likely secure the entertaining ones to stay in, in which the public will take higher interest and will hopefully result in higher ratings.

[Beastie]

Lol it's funny that Patrick thought I and other people were deluded that it will come back soon

Blog home Will Desmond make Big Brother red hot?

Share Comments (0) According to a Sunday Times story today, Richard Desmond has resurrected his hopes of screening Big Brother on Channel 5.

He believes, says the story, that "he can breathe new life into the show's format, which could be heavily promoted in his publications [the Daily Express and Daily Star plus OK! magazine]."

But one key reason for BB's past success was the level of coverage it received in all the tabloids.

I imagine that, should C5 get the show, it will get precious little space in rival papers and magazines, especially given the public's loss of enthusiasm for it.

Then again, what does "new life" mean? Perhaps Desmond plans to draw on the values exhibited by the television channels in his Red Hot TV portfolio, such as Dirty Talk, Filth and Television X.

Yeah actually, Infact if they do fall through we're all going to look like dick heads for getting excited and like partying and making a new forum for this and stuff.

I bet talks do fall through, we'll hear in about 4 weeks 'Desmond is not bringing Big Brother back' and we'll all just be like

It would be devastating.
