it’s a tad bit of a reach but if it is picked up by a streaming service like it is being suspected the future could actually be bright for BB... they have to wake up and realise it first though

It's possible I think. I re-discovered the show on Youtube b/c it was something to binge watch after I had stopped watching for a few years. (The UK version)

A lot of people have cut cable and gone to streaming, and I think that's how a lot of folk run into shows now that peak the interest... and it's clear the way we digest our media now has changed, as well, since a lot more people binge-watch...

That is the one thing that I think works against BB. As someone who doesn't really consume all that much media (compared to most others), it can be emotionally exhausting to follow BB, day in day out... I'm pretty sure I would stop watching without a place like TiBB or some other place to "follow"... that's why I'm astonished when BB messes with their Twitter feeds, etc... I think people do like to keep up with a broadcast on social media, sort of like we do here after-hours...
