5 series in 2 years......

Uh, no. We have BB13 this summer with CBB9 either before or after. Which means by August/September that's 5 series within 12 months. It only came to channel 5 the same time last year.

If we get 2 CBB's and 1 BB in 2013 then it's a whopping 8 series in 2 years.

And I highly doubt Big Brother will make it 4 more years let alone 7.

I honestly think this'll be the beginning of the end of the regular series. Can't see it rating well, they'll probably plug the sh*t out of CBB which'll then inevitably rate better (albeit slightly I'm guessing), and then C5 will use it as an excuse to sign a contract whereby two series of Celebrity Big Brother are broadcast a year, and the regular series is axed.

Of course that happening would only lead to overkill of CBB itself, meaning that'd be axed within two years max. Bad times ahead I feel...

I never wanted channel 5 to bring back any BB for a couple of years anyway, because it needed breathing space. Then they bring it back and are now throwing out series with little actual effort in the production of it.
At this rate I'd actually prefer just a 3-4 week CBB every January. I think the long haul 3- 4 months of the show are dead, there's nothing new to see and it gets boring within 6 weeks.
