The 2 year deal is such because the deal with Elstree Studios- where the house is runs out in 2 years. ( I think this is right) Never got me head round who owns what, what the deal is with the house owners, who ons the house? is it freehold/leasehold? What influence Endomol has on the running of BB? etc;

Forget it !

No you're clearly talking bollocks and just got outed as stupid.
If you're going to make a BB fansite, at least know the basics.

'I was trying to catch him out lol'
Catch him out on what? You got owned.

Stu's right, I would love to hear your excuse if your wife caught you in bed with her sister LOL.

Does anyone else feel quite nervous to think that if Big Brother does FAIL on Channel 5 and they axe it after the 2 year deal ends that 12 months from now we may well be thinking AGAIN that in just 5 months Big Brother will be OVER again and we only have 1 more series left.

So is it confirmed that this 2 year contract expires in April 2013, or September 2013?

it will have to be a massive disaster to be cancelled. even if its crap it will do wonders for channel 5. so if it is that bad id probably want it to go and not ruin our memory of it further.

I wasn't thinking about that but thanks for bringing it to my attention!

Bb will likely be the biggest thing on channel 5 and the income from it will be enormous,channel 5 will be biting the hands of all responsible to sign it again in 2 to 3 years time and the fact this contract is only for 2 years will ensure that scenario takes place.

I have no worries that bb will be back for at least 5 years and maybe more.really no doubt on that at all.
On a channel like bbc(just imagine the bbc having bb),or itv then it may not have got past the 2 years but on channel 5 and once channel 5 see the gem they have bought,they will no way want to lose it. That would be madness on channel 5s part.

I HIGHLY doubt it. The ratings BB will most likely get will be amazing for C5.

I think the series will be so bad we will be happy its gone.
