I like it in that way but it's the fact people basically put the original series down and say it should be gone forever but the Celebrity version must stay as it's better.

It's on for 3 weeks and isn't that good the only 3 series of it that have been truely brilliant were CBB7, CBB6 and CBB4.

It does fill the gap nicely but there'll be no gap this year it'll be like in Summer when we should be having the original BB.

It's completely going to ruin the Big Comeback really and I actually fear and this could happen,

That CBB will do brilliantly in ratings, BB12 will fail and then they'll decide to axe Big Brother forever and just do CBB for good.

It'll be horrible.

Anything above 1.7 million an episode would please Five. There's no reason to suggest that it wouldn't be a hit (with respect to channel 5's ratings).

Celebrity Big Brother should never have returned after it was axed for Celeb Hijack in 2008 - they'd have been better off focusing all their efforts on the main series, even if that meant extending it to 16 weeks (eek!) to make up the difference.

Although CBB3 & CBB4 were brilliant, it's also when it began to loose what made it charming in the first place with these American names (often unknowns to the BB audience!) coming in and daring to act like - well, celebrities! What appealed about CBB1 & CBB2 was it was a chance for us to see celebs act as normal folk, and as soon as that was lost the concept failed.

CBB this summer to get more interest and see what its like before a long series then bring proper BB back next summer.

No it's not.

CBB is over rated and it's a complete and utter bullsh*t idea to have Celebrity BIG BROTHER without having the main show on.

Because then what right does CBB have to be there? It's nothing more than a short spin off that chavs who can't relate to the Summer Series, adore.

I'd rather have both axed tbh than just have CBB carry on without the original.

The Housemates [like real people, myself, you, tibb etc] are all far more entertaining than a bunch of celebrities.
It defeats the whole purpose of the show.

[Braden]

Oh a CBB edition already...Can't wait to see the reality tv stars of The Farm on my screen.

I don't care, I just want something this summer.

Because whatever you say goes.
Right? Just because you hate it doesn't mean everyone does. CBB has had a far better reception the past couple of years than BB.
So CBB might be a better way to reintroduce it, the best chance of attracting curious viewers.

And that's very subjective.
I'd rather watch a bunch of celebs than sit watching Josie sleep all day.

I would like bb12 this summer. However it might be too early. In fact.. "Big Brother 12 in 2012" would be better.

A celeb BB would be good this summer too.

Mmm in fact.. thinking about it.. CBB8 this summer. Nothing next January but next summer bb12. Then CBB9 in January 2013, BB 13 in Summer 2013 and the cycle continues......

I didn't say it didn't I said I didn't like it.

I could be wrong but you know, well when was the last Olympics actually? Did it effect Big Brothers' ratings?

I would watch the Olympics but I would watch BB over it. If the Olympics.. if there was one day the Olympics was on all day and night then I am sure me and plenty of other fans would turn off the Olympics for an hour just to watch BB. lol

What? Thinking about it BB12 in 2012 sounds better.

Infact this summer would be perfect for a 3/4 week series of CBB. People would watch it and love it and definately not think it's dragging on. Then people will be thirsty for Summer 2012 to come.

This is what should happen.....

This Summer 2011 - CBB8
January 2012 - Nothing

^^^^^^ The changes to the series happens this year but will be more beneficial for next year and the comeback of the normal better series!!

Summer 2012 - BB12
January 2013 - CBB9
Summer 2013 - BB13
January 2014 - CBB10
Summer 2014 - BB14
January 2015 - CBB11
Summer 2015 - BB15

And the same like this should happen every year!!
