Put BB back on at 9pm. It may clash but will still get more viewers. They need promote BB more and next year, they need to go back to the old days and have normal people. Throw in one wannabe to spice it up and leave the rest as normal beings.

And on top of that, their teasers as well. Turn on ITV2 for about half an hour and you can tell that LI is their flagship programme.

I think the only time C5 has put that much effort into BB was during CBB15's promotion.

And it paid off. CBB15 averaged 3.1m proving that promoting the show works.

I read some conspiracy theory which said that the show is deliberately being sabotaged so it'll be cheaper to renew the contract when it's time to negotiate Sometimes I wonder if that person was onto something. I mean, it can't be that expensive to promote the show on Channel 5 itself at least. It's like the show is being set up to fail.

the time slot is not the reason why it's flopping. People have just moved on

Yeah that could be it. They might be trying to force Endemol into abandoning regular BB but letting them just keep the two CBBs a year. I wonder if Endemol will budge.
