A BBLB-type show just wouldn't work nowadays, when the viewing figures for the main show aren't actually too different to what BBLB could have got back in the 'glory days'. Perhaps they could do a pre-eviction show on Fridays (in place of... what, the Gadget Show?), but I still wouldn't trust that to rate as well as the regular BOTS - I suspect a lot of people who watch BOTS only do so because they can't be bothered to change the channel after the main show. It's highly unlikely that anyone would tune in at any other time of the day for BB - just look at how Rylan's Big Brother All Star Supersized Bit on the Side Celebrity Sunday Extravaganza (I think that was its name) bombed.
