But the show has been renewed until 2018

It will be a "ratings crisis" when Big Brother gets moved to the 11pm slot. Even Ben Frow said himself they will keep Big Brother for the foreseeable future, even if they have to move it to 11pm every night. I think they would only move it that late when Channel 5 believe the ratings are a cause for concern.

The ratings have been lower so far, although not so low that it's a cause for concern, at the moment there is no cause for concern. The only terrible rating so far has been last nights show.

When it gets to below 1 million every night of the week is the time I think we should start worrying about the future of civilian Big Brother.

Yeah I'm really enjoying it too. It's quite frustrating the figures aren't higher. This cast deserves figures like BB14

Well Big Brother may need hour and half on a Sunday instead of a Saturday show.

I really really could not see the introduction of live feed making a significant difference to the overall ratings at all.

People are crying for live feed but where will they have the time to watch it?

At this point you're probably right. There are many things wrong with the show and the live feed will not solve that, but it will at least show that they have started to listen to the fans again.

One of the big problems imo is that they have stuck their fingers in their ears and turned a blind eye to the complaints year after year after year. Any business that responds like that will go bankrupt. I'm afraid the people making the decisions have just got their heads so far shoved up their backsides they refuse to concede the mistakes they've made at all. To give in now, from their point of view, would make them look even dumber after all these years.

When bbuk was on c4 most the time they listened to the fans c5 just ignore us completely

[Will.]

the only bad ratings we've had are days its always low (apart from launch) -

First high light show (people think its a repeat)
Saturday - always low

Personally I do think big brother does need a big break. Not because of the ratings but because reality tv has been drained recent years & the space between c4-c5 wasnt long enough to say it had a break. Celebrity Big Brother is still a gold mine of its own but I wouldnt mind not seeing Big Brother till atleast next election. They also need to really relocate. The stage & the actual 'house' isnt large enough to have decent tasks. Look at BB Canada for an example. The launch twist we could never do that cause house aint big enough. Channel5 will always be BB's new home though & wouldn't want that or the presenters to change.

Maybe after 2018 as that when the current contract runs I agree but I would miss it too much

that's kinda sad if the are expecting 3 normal BB's to be good. Something will need to change indefiently,

[RyanxAvicii]

Next Saturday has no hope for more than 0.6m... Its up against BGT and Eurovision... This is why it was moved to June in the first place it's illogical to have it in May, plus this series is very boring so far..

[Denver]

It will cost more to axe the show now then to air it

[ruiphillips]

After last years vile series and this boring one, now wonder they've dropped.

[waterhog]

i love bb and i am so bored of all other shows - i wish everyone would give it a break.

i mean i don't write a poem on why i don't watch BGT or Jeremy vile every day do i ?

[newsbb]

people need to chill, it has been renewed until 2018 and its doing fine.

[854]

Civilian bb:Yes this is obviously the last season.

Celeb bb: Hell no, that isn't going anywhere. If they run out of celebs, which they won't, because everyone in my generation including myself, wants to be in the entertainment business or an attention ***** of some sort, they can just use past hm or do twists to where they put fake celebrities.

[mrmattybeck1]

I think once the current contract for bbuk ends in 2018 it will be rested cbb is fine
