Bring it back and see what happens.

Review what housemates you put in, try to change a good number of things on the show.

Lets remember what happened with CBB, it went off TV and came back and the last CBB series was fantastic and i thought entertaining. So it did put some light back into the show. Perhaps the same might happen with BB.

Channel 4 no longer wanted it though, had Channel 5 (who do want it) not jumped in then BB may have been lost for good.

Channel 5 jumped in and took Neighbours from BBC and Home and Away from ITV, they have lost some viewers bu on channel 5 are still seen as assets to have.
BB will maybe do better for longer on Channel 5. Channel 4 were ditching it, I am really glad Channel 5 got in and claimed it and saved it.
