CBB was better than BB anyway and Hijack was **** but they need to call it a day after UBB

[Desert.Rat]

hijack was good in the fact that it had celebrities taking part and it'd get more viewers on Channel 5 than a normal series because of the extra publicity

Hijack was a flop. Dunno why its even being mentioned!

Hijack was actually a ratings hit for e4

[Desert.Rat]

Hijack was a flop because it was on E4. If they take BB to Channel 5 it needs to be revamped. I'm not saying they should make it exactly like Hijack but they should have a twist to the series, with maybe half celebs half normal people or something different. they shouldn't do the same normal thing over and over again.

All I can remmeber of that series is on launch night some fat ginger bloke being told by him off Little Britain to shout cake. It was an appalling series with a crap concept about as far removed from Big Brother as you can get and not having Davina was a bad move too and shown BB cant work without her

As many as watch (if not more) can't stand it.

And people don't watch tv as much as they used to, as recently as the 90s, X Factor's viewing figures wouldn't be considered particularly exceptional.

I suppose in a way that is what UBB is with 5 former regular HMs and 5 former CBB HMs. Josie was different because she was fresh meat but now they've put Victor and Michelle in to make up the numbers for regular HMs

So what would you rather see? I think Hijack has more comedy potential than the main one and more viewers might be attracted by the different celebrities each day.

I vote for a tweaked version of Hijack.

WTF? It's not bad at all for a Saturday HL show. It's higher than any BB11's Saturday.

lmao. I genuinely don't know what to say/where to start with that one and not just what i wrote. My opinions obviously changed (they tend to over time) and I think I posted that as a replacement for CBB before CBB 2010 which turned out to be OK anyway. i thought CBB was dead until the last one
