The ball's in Endemol's court now and I reaaaally hope they have the fans back (like it seemed they did the other week with the updates) and stick to what they said during the initial negotiations back in 2011, that BB and CBB are a package deal and you don't get one without the other. That is our only hope now

The thought of C5 being worried about losing their precious CBB cause they're too bitter about the civilian version

True but then Slice was probably a smaller channel than C5 tbh

C5 will never be as iconic as Slice!

I think that's what they're doing right now. Making this excuse of a civilian BB just so they could do CBB. Endemol should not let them treat it like that like it's a check list they need to tick.

Please tell me that's a joke?

What a mess. The best series in years and they've decided this. ;/

[lewis111]

That's not enough time to make this series iconic and it has potential

They need to cancel this mass eviction that'll ruin the show and extend at least 2 weeks

Even if it was say 64 and CBB 32, so at least it's still double which is fair (ish)

They should be lucky they're actually getting over 1 million on bloody C5.

[Jase.]

Is this some kind of joke? **** Channel 5.

[Lstan]

Real shame because this is my fav series of the lot and yes it could easily keep going a few weeks longer

But it is what it is and I'm gonna enjoy whats left of it

[crazycolaist]

Awh should be atleast 5 weeks left, they might be doing it to give CBB more weeks but that could backfire knowing the weather might prep up towards the end of summer.

[cookiemonster]

eh? how many weeks is that? it's not even 9 is it? 9 was bad enough

Thinking about Emma Willis's "three and a half week" comment, pretty sure the series could end on Tuesday 26 July which would be Day 50. BBUK can't do live shows on a Sunday, also there hasn't been a Friday final for a long while now and like I posted on another thread CBB18 "could" have the Thursday 28 July as it's launch date to give it a weeks worth of coverage and press before the Olympics start on 5 August.
