It's things like this which is why LI is getting more viewers than BB.

It's clear even the producers don't have faith in BB anymore, so why should the viewers?

[Natalie.]

:/
get rid of it all please

How many days did LI last this year?

I'm shocked they haven't introduced midweek evictions to BB yet if the series are going to be this short

Now that's a very weird thought actually. Although tbf, BB8's halfway HM's only entered 5 days before the final of many series.

[LukeB]

They should extend this season tbh

[Jack_]

In all honesty I won't be surprised if they look to Love Island's success next series for inspiration but for all the wrong reasons

So instead of a stellar promotion campaign, less housemates that have ties to the media (as a lot of the Love Island's casts haven't despite criticism), a better format, no votes to evict, better, more rounded editing that develops characters more fully, a nicer balance between fun and drama etc etc, it'll be 'oooh six weeks seems like a length that works, so let's cut it back even more'

Maybe that's part of the reason why this series is so short anyway?

It is complete horse**** but the only positive I can take from it is that at least things aren't going to go stale

This.

And anyway, if I was going to make this series longer it would only be by 2 or 3 weeks. I thought the 13 week series were stale anyway. It just feels so repetitive and draining - especially when the original cast would get whittled down to a smaller number and then a large group of new housemates would enter and change it all.

Charley the real winner?

Mess not Charlie the 4th evictee going 18 days before the final.

[Cal.]

Not Georgina the third evictee lasting exactly halfway.

Can C5 be more obvious in their hatred for civilian BB. Jesus Christ.

eh, it's on the short side but I don't entirely mind.

People on this forum can organise a BB series better than them. I bet Emma and Rylan are the only ones in the team that used to watch channel 4 BB

[Pete.]

Trash

CBB starting in July is just wrong

[Pete.]

Although the majority of the cast staying until the final 2 weeks is good

[zakman440]

Utterly ridiculous.

[Gstar]

Big brother has did so much for their ****, irrelevant channel. They should be treating it like royalty. Generally crap casting, no live feed, stomach-turning eviction crowd, it's disrespectful to the loyal fans and of course edemol. Channel 4 will always stay winning

[zakman440]

It's not just Big Brother that Channel 5 treat awfully though, they mess around with most of their programmes that have loyal audiences. For example, they've already started to mess around with Wentworth's scheduling - it's now moving to 5STAR just 3 weeks into the new series. They messed with Under The Dome's scheduling by airing the last few episodes at midnight and I'm fairly sure that they missed an episode of Person of Interest out for no particular reason. It's ridiculous that they mess with shows like that yet prioritise underrating show's like It's Not Me, It's You and a 50 millionth repeat of one of their benefits programmes. Channel 5 is literally a joke.

Thankfully I watched that at US pace before C5 could get their mitts on it.
