So what if BGT is still going then?

BB13 went up against the Olympics last year, and I assure you the Olympics were a bigger deal than BGT.

Why would CH5 worry about being up against BGT in the ratings?

I dont see why we have to wait till BGT is finished to get BB started.

If they were going to air in the normal summer period last year then they had no choice but to go up against the Olympics.

This year they do have a choice - schedule the launch against BGT and get slaughtered, or wait just one more week to give it a better chance at higher ratings and more significant press coverage. It's a no-brainer.

Last year they could have started BB13 in early may and finish by the end of July and before the Olympics started...theres always a way around these things if ratings are the issue.

Since the tabloids (other than the Star) avoid giving BB coverage these days it shouldn't matter. The days of the Sun giving BB a couple of pages a day are long gone.

BB wont get any coverage in the papers anyway, regardless of when they start, BB fans (no matter what the show is up against) will always keep faith with bigbrother.

But if there is a Lesbo Snog, for example
The Sun,
Mirror and Guardian will Jump at it.



Note: There is nothing wrong with being a Lesbo

BB fans will always stay loyal to BB no matter whatelse is on at the same time, those who would prefer to watch BGT over BB probably wouldn't be BB fans anyway.

Thats not the point. Channel 5 want to get the most viewers possible. If the get 2million viewers they dont care whether thats 2million people watching Big Brother for the first time or people who've watched it for 10 years.

Putting it up against BGT would be stupid.

Look at it this way, if you were selling coffee and you could sell it on June 1st and go up against a Starbuck's next door, or start on June 7th when that Starbuck's was meant to close. You'd do it on June 7th, when you would have the most people available
