Well we are talking about what can be a completely different program, house, presentation, formats, look, feel, production altogether.
We are talking about entirely different people.
EVEN IF Endemol did keep the current house (the actual physical house) this may be something completely different.
Unrecognizable.

To put it this way:
We could find out that there is a 'new BB' coming 2 Summers from now.
We turn on and find it is not even near London.
It may be called 'Endemol's Big Brother: Season ONE'.
There is no 'Davina Presenter' at all.
There is no such thing as 'BBLB'.
There are NO live-crowds or audiences.
No 'opening theme' at all.
People you have never seen before are on a panel and a screen behind them is live.
You see nearly none of the 'carnival theme' or those classic decors. Maybe there is no garden as you know it.
Is this a documentary?
You feel like your watching some weird documentary because none of this 'feels' like BB you used to watch.
You don't even get the familiar narrator "David.. is in the garden with.."
The program is 2 hours long and goes back and forth between the panel, highlights reviewed and live-commentary...

I guess I'm just trying to communicate the idea that a future BB may NOT look ANYTHING like you think.
A completely different 'entity' altogether.

I'm just afraid too many are just expecting BB12 next Summer thinking maybe its a question of whether or not George Lamb gets a new co-host.

This is the exact thing that bothers me, though I see the chances of this happening more likely if it came back in five - ten years time, or even further into the next generation. And to be honest I don't think I could watch, it'd ruin a childhood memory for me.

Well of course all of that COULD happen, but it's not exactly likely. Five aren't exactly known for their innovation, I can't see them drastically changing the show. Marcus Bentley said he would go to a new channel and I can't see them not asking him. I don't see what it matters if it's a drastically different house, it didn't hurt the show even slightly when the house moved location for BB3. No channel is going to commission a 2 hour show. Why the hell would there be no opening titles, that's just standard for ANY SHOW.

I think Five would put more time and effort into BB then Channel 4 have recently anyway.

If Big Brother went to Five under Desmond's control then it would take a serious budget cut. All Desmond cares about is mass producing cheap TV, there's no way he'd fork out the amount of money that C4 are currently giving it.

I think you're right. I think Channel 5 will change the show so much, it will be mostly unrecognisable, but still enjoyable. I think the main thing they will change will be the house set-up. I also think laying around on beds all day WON'T BE AN OPTION. I think a revamped show will be more active and interactive.

[luminoussun]

it was just bs predictions.
But on a serious note
PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASE DON'T END THIS SHOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will mourn every summer without it

take a year or 2 off and go back to how it once was. Back to basics. Back to how IMO when it was a sociological experiment. Not a platform to get your 15min. I dont mind new housemates but theres no need to chuck say 2 out one week and throw another 3 in the next. Only new HMs when people walk/get ejected.. I guess i wouldnt mind new HMs either way but only like one time within the 3months or so. Chuck in 2 or 3 of them.

* I actually wouldnt mind if they did come back and go back to how it was in the first series. I re-watched series 1 during the first month of this series & enjoyed it more.

[ElProximo]

I want to say - I wish it was a completely new look and feel and went 'back to the future' by returning to its original 'socio-psychological experiment' and something that was again for adults too,
but,
My guess?

Probably does look like just a new version of the same thing with more of a 'Jerry Springer' thing going on.
A UK version of the USA version with BB10 but even more outrageous, juvenile and featuring more romances, fights.
Some 'knock-off' versions of BBLB and their 'Davina replacement' and the same sorts of format, routines, standards.
Ugh.

He also predicted Mario was going this week. Do you believe that as well?

I don't think it will be n at all next year but the year after it may come on if channel 5 take it. As much as everyone complains about BB I reckon the day channel 5 get it everyone will whine and cry about how they miss davina and bblb and this and that.
