Yeah, hit the nail on the head on that one.

It's all about tits, lager and casual racism.

[keithafc]

lol casual racism.

And yeah, i suppose you could put the hardcore BB view across. One problem with that, it could be off the TV screens after a year and never seen again. So ratings ARE important.

I only bothered about ratings for that very reason. I haven't discussed BB in real life for quite a bit (apart from the last Celebrity Big Brother) so how many people are watching makes no difference when they're locked into a 5 year contract. And by the end of the 5 years I'll probably be bored of BB anyway so won't care if its axed or not

Exactly. I don't get why people are bothered about it becoming trashy. I'm not sure if anyone has noticed but it isn't exactly high brow TV thats the envy of BBC4.

Btw do you have Sky? You'll be able to get Channel 5 if you do (saw your earlier post), you'll just need to tune it in manually

[Time to Sleigh]

well didnt want it back. But Im suprisingly very happy about it coming back! I have missed it

Fair play, Channel 5 as far as I know has no other channels that they have power over.

The only forum of advertising they'll use outside of their channel would be front page on the Daily Star everyday, and maybe a billboard.

Don't be so sure Patrick, Five go all out to promote their US acquisitions.

interesting to see what they do with it. But I don't have high hopes.

Understand your logic but think you could be mistaken. I think none diehards will tune in out of curiosity. If CH5 do a good job in selecting housemates then curiosity viewere will stay on board. As well as the diehards......

I was original drawn into BB "out of curiosity". When BB1 was aired I watched just brief snippets and thought to myself what a load of rubbish....Then followed all the after math publicity and I thought to myself "What have I missed"!!!!

I decided to give the next series (BB2) a chance to see what all the fuss was about out of curiosity.....From episode one of BB2 I was hooked.......Never missed a series since although have like many had some moaning to do about this that or the other but still keep watching.....Still kept on recording. Have complete collection of all series from 3 to the last CH4 series. BB2 I have only a part collection much to my regret......

BB is something you love or hate if you love it then it becomes like an addiction no matter how bad it may seem at times......

I wish CH5 luck regardless of the type of BB it may be.......Sexy, fights, Who cares as long as we see human nature in the raw.......As long as we see reality emerging from an unreal environment. As long as CH5 does not run scared of those idiots at Ofcom......and the twats that will inevitably write and moan to those censorship idiots at Ofcom....

[katiedog]

please let this be true. I think either Emma Willis or Vanessa Feltz to present and i really hope they get marcus bentley to do voice over.

It's 100% true, confirmation is coming in roughly half an hour via The Star .

[bananarama]

There is one thing that could make me turn my back on the CH5 version.......That is if Vanessa Feltz hosts it. I dispise that woman with a passion and don't believe I could stomach the eviction nights with her at the helm.

Three million per half hour episode Charlie Sheen?

Yeah I'm sure Endemol will lure him for a week or two to be filmed 24/7 in a drug free environment.

yes but its been on for 10 years. Now its not even having a break it seems. So everybody knows whether theyre interested in BB by now. Those who have tired of it will probably stay tired of it. It would certainly take a big effort for them to start watching it on ch5 regularly.

But I guess it depends what they do with it and how much they change it. Personally Id like it to adopt the US style where HMs can openly plot and plan against each other in a cutthroat way. Its more of a honest gameshow where they all want to win. But having a public vote(they dont have in US BB) would make it difficult to play the game that way.
