That's interesting actually as that's what Germany now has, I believe.

Yep, Germany only has CBB on the air. They also don't have a live feed anymore either.

Being a German, I can only tell that we don't have a proper BB anymore. Currently, the fifth series of CBB is airing - but in fact, it is a poor rip-off of "I'm a celebrity...". It only airs two weeks a year and the whole format is a disaster. They tried to reboot the civilian version in 2015 on another channel, after it had been axed in 2011. But it only lasted one series.

I much prefer the British version (civilian and celebrity) which I've been watching since 2011 now.
