And people still insist they care about the civilian series just as much as CBB!

You'd think five years into C5's tenure with the show it would be obvious to everyone (I mean it was from the very start) but again, it's not the case!

Read some of the threads from the last week back. People seem to like deluding themselves into thinking that C5 promoting CBB more, providing more live feed for it and various other things is because 'it's more popular', as if that just happens on its own

Well to be fair it kind of does. Every year from 2006 onwards on C4, CBB rated higher than the BB that followed that year, and I'd imagine that this is because of the fact more people watch TV in January, it's less of a commitment than normal BB, and celebs bring their own fanbases to the show.

And at the moment CBB is a far better show than BBUK

I said in the other thread that, they only prefer it since it gets more interest from the GP, and i'm sure if it was the other way round they'll focus on BB more.

It's a cycle.

CBB was more popular so they put more work into it.

They put more work into it so its popularity was kept.

CBB remains more popular so they put more work into it.

And round and round it goes.
