I'm a bit on the fence about whether it should even come back - it just isn't going to be the same and i don't think it will ever be as popular again as it was.

C4 was all about it being "event" television with all the spectacle and really scripting it heavily. I think Five just want a more chilled out "reality soap" that people can tune in nightly and talk about the next day - maybe not as heavily manipulated - which a lot of fans will love and have wanted, but possibly without the screaming crowds and big faked and invented press stories and dramas it just won't have the same feel. Part of the reason, it looks like Five want to run it continously for many many months.

For this to work Five need to make a NEW show which is clearly different - as they just don't have the budget, facilities or need to simply remake C4 Big Brother as it was .. people would say it looked and felt cheap. They even wanted to call the show something different but due to the current success of Five's new shows (there was no success) i think they are desperate for the BB name value and attention.

The other rumour going around is that there won't be a seprate CBB and BB - they want to mix a few celebrities into BB instead.
