Just to clarify according to Channel 5's schedule breakdown for the first eviction the two separate shows count as episodes 9 and 10 - so the number of episodes doesn't indicate the number of days.

These details are probably subject to change anyway - after all, they tacked another five days on to the end of January's CBB...

[Jarrod]

And if this series is 72 days, it's longer than BB12,13 and 14 so it'll be Channel 5's longest series to date.

[Loukas]

I'm happy tbh, it's the same length as BB6 and that was long enough IMO

[Firewire]

On Radio Times it's the episode number, on Friday there are two episodes. By this logic it seems it'll end 5 August with CBB starting on the 7th. Although, they might make Friday evictions 90 minutes after Stand By Your Man finishes. 5 August seems to short a series so it'll probably be the week later on the 12th.

5th June - 5th August.

Ok if that's the case then that is way too short.

[Gstar]

It's more days than BB14 so I'm not gonna complain (personally I would like it to be more). I just hope they don't have like 8 housemates a few days before the final and do all them rushed evictions like they sometimes do.

but @ people saying that 13 weeks is too long, BB in other countries lasts like 200-300 days, I swear one country did it for a whole year? And that's with 100% NO outside contact as oppose to what we have here

Yes, and that's overkill. No way would I be a BB fan if our country did that.

Plus, I think it was Germany who did it for a year and they lived in a village.

Germyle knows.

I miss 13 week series tbh, maybe it's just me but I never got bored of them towards the end? And I'm still pissed they never reached a 100 days, coming so close yet so far in four series

And will they please ditch the summer CBB for **** sake

Then again if it does well they could always extend it like they did with CBB13, but I doubt they'd extend a civilian series...

[Marsh.]

Yeah, if they have the launch for CBB locked in then it doesn't give them much room to extend the civilian one.

[Samm]

I'm hoping that with the new owners of C5 they will axe the Summer CBB, they could easily make the CBB in Januray longer

[Jack_]

I actually miss the four week celebrity series that C4 did in the latter years, CBB only really gets going near to the end of the third week and then it comes to an end so if they'd ditch the pointless summer series, bring civilian back to 13 weeks and then have a four or even five week (not sure if the celebs would agree to that though) CBB in January it'd be perfect

[reece(:]

Hopefully it keeps going up.. and we get 80 days eventually.

[Firewire]

Is it just me or does it bug anyone else when a finale isn't on a Friday? I hate that with Channel 5 Big Brothers. The finale should be on a finale! It isn't right!

[Glenn.]

It annoys me that it doesn't start on a Friday.

[Me. I Am Salman]

the final doesn't even feel like a final anymore, just an eviction :/

[Marsh.]

I hate finales with too many housemates. It's just like a conveyor belt of two sentence interviews.

5 people maximum in a finale

I think part of that is due to the set. One of my favourite things about C4 finales was the dome set they'd bring out and each year it'd look a little different and themed around that year's graphics and I'd get excited to see it

Now obviously nothing changes because the eviction set is basically like a finale set the whole series

Yeah, BB7's finale was spoiled by having about 7 housemates left.
