Until 5 grows as a network and pulls in bigger audiences for more shows etc, BB is going nowhere

The only downfall would be viewer fatigue..after like 6 series in 18months. I'd argue the hardcore is 2million, and they don't seem to be going anywhere judging off this series.

Five need to drum up casual intrest which unfortunately isn't happening.

I'd seriously throw a million+ at a big name celebrity who could intrest the casuals. I don't think the CBB audience is gunna expand more then what it is now, unless a big name comes in. Where that money comes from i have no idea, i'm sure they can find cutbacks somewhere.

Its not "superb".

And last CBB there was no "boost" on finale night. It only pulled in 2.2 million.

How can you say 2.2 million INCLUDING +1 is superb?

Channel 5 does ok in the ratings with other shows you need to do some research.

I'm not trying to be negative but you really need to be realistic.
