Oathy just said to me...

Hi salv

I think we can expect some major events in the show. He really isn't happy
I have got back in touch with Samwell -Smith and sent him a copy of Ben Frows email.

So "major events", I don't know if that sounds good or downright terrible. Nick Samwell Smith is the Managing Director of Endemol and in 2011 was placed in charge of BB if people didn't know. http://www.endemoluk.com/who-we-are/initialuk/team_bios

So, seeing all these high people being contacted means that Ch5 is serious about doing something. Knowing Ch5 though, it's going to be shockingly bad.

ratings > quality at the end of the day from a C5 perspective. From a fans point of view it sounds disastrous...

It won't be a mass eviction, because then Jade would go. She would only stay in a vote to save.

At this point however with civilian BB fans are the ratings, so if they piss enough of them off like with power trip the show will flop

They've said before their strategy is interesting casual viewers to watch, a massive eviction or something would do that. They also know most BB fans won't switch off regardless, look how much people on here and DS have rightly complained but they are still watching every night...

If all the best characters are evicted they will lose even more viewers.

If major events mean Armageddon again I'm done

I don't like the sound of half the housemates going- that's ridiculous. What it needed was promotion and a June launch, live feed nightly and that's it really.

[jackc1806]

Phil Edgar Jones (BB11) said that massive eviction was his worst ever production decision... I think they need to go down the ex HM route tbh

[Vanessa]

They need to keep things simple. There are too many twists.

[Pete.]

They should sent all stars in if they are that worried

From what I hear from Oathy, that may be one of the major changes by incorporating ex HMs vs. current HMs to fit into the timebomb theme.

That's what they should have done from the beginning.

I think thats why this series's has failed to be honest. Everybody got their hopes up about ex housemates. Now time has passed tom dick and harry dont really care.

Regardless of how much I'm enjoying it, Gina going back in would be enough to make me abandon this series.

Justice for Gina

[crazycolaist]

Well lets see what they can do but if it doesnt work they need to put big brother to bed for a few years. but thats a good thing because CBB is growing & after 5 years people will miss ordinary BB & new viewers will want a civillian version
All in all Big Brother is still the best ordinary reality tv show & sometimes it just needs a big rest. If i was C5 when they bought the BB rights I would of only aired CBB & see what people think. I mean take a look at SCD. All celebs & people are wanting a civillian version. I have high hopes for the BB brand always.

[crazycolaist]

Oh and another thing, Channel 5 if your reading you need to create a uservoice database for big brother.

Microsoft did it for when Xbox became a failing brand when the Xbox One was released to get actual decent feedback & the users can vote i.e priorities what they want & it has took the Xbox a great deal in terms of comparing its competition & what they do (PS4,Wii u) & for somebody whos been gaming for 10 years its exactly that what has pushed the Xbox Brand to beat Playstation some months (which you can relate & understand about lagging in competition)

If there's a mass eviction they need to do a Timebomb so it's vote to save.

I admire Ben pushing live feed. You can tell he's very passionate with his work on C5.

I think if there are senior people worried about live feed at the least they should trial it for one or two weeks, if ratings improve keep it, if they don't remove it, simple.

The matter of the fact though is that they've aired this series far too early and haven't bothered with advertising at all. If they did a big push with that prior to the series start we would be seeing far more overnight figures right now. Most people I've spoken to about Big Brother these past few weeks didn't even think it was back and thought it was on in June! C5 really need to push Big Brother advertising in future and not just leave the advertising push exclusive to CBB. Civilian Big Brother needs far more of a push in advertising for people other than hardcore fans to know its back.

A mass eviction with vote to save would get rid of the bores. But everyone should be up, or we're stuck with Chloe.

If everyone's up people like Chloe don't stand a chance of getting votes in vote to save, so hope that happens!

Yes and i think people like Christian or Nick would be fine in a vote to save as well. But Chloe would go. She has no fanbase.
