The viewers are so PC that a cast like BB5-7 wouldn't work nowadays.

Imagine if someone like Ahmed, who openly admitted he doesn't like gay people in his VT went into the house in 2018. There would be an outcry on social media to the point they're ejected on Day 3.

Didn’t Danielle BB15 say something like that in her VT tho?

Danielle's VT wasn't as extreme as Ahmed's.

Remember Winston getting evicted on Day 4 and getting dragged by the house, Emma and the crowd for saying the stuff the producers put him in the house for

AHHH his eviction

Christopher: 'All my life I've been fighting being gay and homophobic'

Emma went IN

"So without comparing EVERYTHING to Boxing, this ISNT BOXING"

Honestly not even surprised at that second show figure. John and Maggie aren't exactly massive characters so who's going to bother tuning in for half an hour after the highlights when you can just find out on social media.

Me. I looked on here to see who went and my dad ended up turning the telly over to CBB before he went to bed because he's been used to be me watching it and that's the only reason I caught the interview.

[Morgan.]

Tbf Will and Grace is killing CBB (or at least adding to the trouble) because people either aren't keeping TV on so they don't have to suffer through W&G or are forgetting the second episode is on. They need to stop splitting Shows.

Now if they chose to make CBB an Hour and a half Show all in one or even moved it to 8:30 like last year then CBB would take less of a ratings hit and Will and Grace could still get Show.

But at the moment it's working Against C5 because CBB is giving Will and Grace viewers but they're not sticking around to finish CBB. And they should be protecting their original shoes such as CBB other than marketing for an American Sitcom that would be axed from C5 soon enough without the constant CBB promo and ratings boosts.

[Morgan.]

Like the sketches they do when the cast of W&G talk to Emma are pointless and annoying.

[Jason.]

It's still rating terribly, regardless of the split show.

1m for a January CBB is diabolical.

[supertv247]

CBB got 3 million on Saturdays 2/3 years ago. Tonight it’s airing twice and it’ll still be lucky to get 1 million

[Cal.]

CBB21: 1.8 million officially
BB19: 900k officially
CBB22: 1.5 million

Realistic enough.
BB19 wouldn't get past 1m, no matter what they do. They can't stop this decline any longer. I wonder if CBB's even worth it, financially (outcome/income ratio).
Yes, CBB gets better rating, but unlike the civilian, they have enormous paychecks for the celebs - so I'm not sure if the profit is worthwhile.

Sooner or later they'll have to kill it. Are they really willing to renew the contract for another 2/3 years, when it's not going to get any better? They'll be shackling themselves to a sinking boat.

[Oaker]

It'll be interesting to see how BB19 does considering it's getting moved to late summer and will have no LI clash (presumably since applications close really late).

Is that actually confirmed?

I just thought it was a rumour

well on the auditions website it says this:

You must be 18 years of age by July 31 2018

So it must start after 31 July

If this is true is this confirmation it's the final year? I mean bb won't finish till late September/early October then cbb starts in the end of the first week of October meaning it will run into november! So if that's the caae the next January cbb would be due in a mere 6 weeks after.

I think this is the final year.

[Cal.]

I'm happy with civilian airing on late summer nights because it'll probably do better than early summer nights when everybody is usually out and the media is distracted by BGT and then Love Island.

[Cal.]

They're making a grave mistake airing CBB22 against Love Island if that is their plan though. CBB's audience are much more fickle and more likely to go to Love Island whilst civilian's audience is made up of loyal hardcore fans that would watch regardless. It wouldn't surprise me if Love Island makes CBB22 a lot closer to civilian than it ever has been.

[Jason.]

The thing is Love Island has double the viewers BB has now and the last series averaged higher than any BB series has in 8 years, so the two aren't really comparable anymore as LI is attracting people that weren't interested in BB in the first place.
