When are C5 revealing their line-up anyway? We'll find out then, and if Big Brother or The Golden Cage isn't in the line-up we can forget it.

I think we would have heard something if BB was returning on ch5. It's a big deal and if happening the cat would be out of the bag by now.

Channel 5 are keeping tight lipped about all their shows until they reveal their stupid list, which is a pointless idea.
They should just tell us what shows are coming right away.

There has been some leaks and hints etc about Big Brother 12 though and has been since September.

But, just nothing major.

I check Big Brother and Channel 5's Wiki Pages alot to be sure.

But BB is a huge operation. It would leak outside of ch5. They can keep tight lipped about their other plans because nobody gives a sh!t. But BB info would have leaked elsewhere.

I think it would be doomed on ch5 right now. Maybe in a few years when people start re-remembering it with fondness...

Eh? Big Brother IS Big Brother. No other show is similar to Big Brother in what it does. Throwing a bunch of wannabes and nutters into house, creating tension and drama.

The show is gone and people should move on. I say its gone because its such a huge show in terms of production. Lots of people who made it obviously have moved on from it.

Pointless exercise, wikipedia is as reliable as Frank Spencer.

No it's not. Wikipedia is not a valid source for anything, anyone can edit it:

There has been no mention of it made by any broadcasters or reliable publications.

There are rumours over Digital Spy about Emma Willis presenting "The Golden Cage". All rumours though.

In July 2010 a deal was almost offically sealed to air celebrity big brother in January that's why the rumours started.
Then Endomel got the idea of the golden cage and didn't sign the contract when asked too.
Then before Desmond found out about the signing off the deal was off he expressed interest in big brother and endomel are still pending the offer but obviously the celebrity big brother that was going to air this year didnt go to plan as endomel didn't want them to air it for some
Weird reason

I think Endomol would sell BB to Desmond at the right price. I bet Desmond does want to buy into Big Brother but Endomol are still asking for too much money? Could be as simple as this?

As for ch5 and their new line up..

has anybody seen the Vanessa show? Eww what a ******ing mess. She's obviously insisted her black toyboy lover gets a role in it so he hangs around like a right tool..occasionally asking dumb questions!

So don't trust them to come up with any decent BB type shows.

No

When will People realise that wikipedia is not a source?! Anyone could of written that.

Channel Five probably really didn't want to use the name "Big Brother" if they could help it, and they can't afford to do too many live shows, definitely not the big live evictions with big crowds C4 did. So Golden Cage was ideal - taking out the viewer vote, all pre-recorded. However they have realised that nobody will watch Five unless they already know the "star" or the show already since most of even their newest stuff has done badly. Hence them going back to the idea of doing "Big Brother" as the name will be guaranteed to pull in the viewers, at the risk of people once they see it thinking this is "no frills big brother" and it will be slated in the press. However while the name might be "Big Brother" the actual show may still end up being like "The Golden Cage" but with a different title - just they have probably found a way to keep some element of viewer participation in.
