I wouldn't mind another May launch if it was in the last week of May as traditionally end of May/June is when we get the good weather and everything feels a bit more summery. The only reason I didn't like this May launch was because it was mid-May which meant that ratings were down (which of course meant trash like 4in4out occurred) and that a large portion of the summer has been left without BB/CBB on screen.

So would you mind another May launch, or do you want it to revert back to early-mid June in 2016?

The June launches always worked on Channel 5 though and this long wait between series' is a bit silly

I think there's already a thread about this buried on here somewhere.

I would like if they went back to a May launch. Just not as early as 12th May. I think a May launch should start no later than 20th May. That way, it ensures the series goes through the summer.

I think next year, BB17 should launch on Wednesday 25th May, and end on Friday 5th August, lasting 10 weeks. Also scrap this 6 week break between CBB nonsense. 6 weeks is way too long. If they're going to have a break, don't make it drag. 2/3 weeks is long enough.

Yeah I always wanted a gap between the summer civ bb and cbb but not this long of a gap. The very end of May/early June would be best for me.

Sorry if there's already been a thread.

That sounds perfect with the end of May launch and the beginning of August final - then a wait of 2 weeks before a launch of CBB on 19th August x

I agree on the long wait tbh x

YES!

I said the same thing. Next summer CBB can launch 2 weeks later on either Thursday 18th or Friday 19th.

Great minds think alike

Preach it!

Late May start, early August finish, mid-late August for CBB.

[Ross.]

No I wouldn't like another May launch unless it's near the end/beginning of June

Like this?

BB17 Launch - Wednesday 25th May 2016
BB17 Final - Friday 5th August 2016

2 WEEK BREAK

CBB18 Launch - Thursday 18th August 2016
CBB18 Final - Friday 16th September 2016

This is why I should work for C5.

[MB.]

(no I didn't mean to write 'late May finish, early August start' even though I wouldn't put that past Channel 5)

[MB.]

(but yes, like that)

[Daniel.]

No

I will stop watching if they do that.

Also the show normal series started way too early for me as I was so busy with school and stuff I wasn't able to enjoy the first half properly. BB should start closer to the end of may or in june so I can properly enjoy ha x

[MB.]

It'd be perfect if they moved or axed BGT - which they should, it's a tired format (which is something you couldn't apply to BB at all...) - otherwise, it's stuck between launching in early/mid-May or early/mid-June and later, even though I don't recall the show doing too awfully in BGT week compared to the rest of the series. Still, late May would be great.

[Jason.]

Yeah. I don't see why they don't launch BGT 3 weeks earlier and have it from mid-March to mid-May, instead.

[Jamesy]

Not too bothered whether it starts in May or June, but they need to bloody advertise the show. Hope they've learned from this year that little to no advertising = crap ratings. Instead of pointing the blame elsewhere.

It's so the live shows can air when the schools are off, isn't it? Which would be the perfect time for BB to start, but hey ho...

[EspeonBB]

I wouldn't mind a May launch if it was towards the end of the month. Late May/Early June is the best time to start imho and it seems the fans agree.

Which means BB17 will probably start in March or something

[Daniel-X]

End of May launch would be ideal around the 29th maybe or beginning of June would also be good. There should be like a two week wait between the BB and CBB series this six week wait is tedious

[T*]

Not if there's going to be this stupid ****ing gap between BB and CBB
