Having evictions on Thursday's is a really dumb move in general because LI doesn't have a Friday show so they don't have to worry about competition.

Love island has a Friday show, and it's usually an eviction show too, actually. It doesn't have a Saturday show

[supertv247]

They're basically making Friday the new Saturday, just as they went back to 9pm on Saturday :/

[Firewire]

It just doesn't feel right!

[Jason.]

My mistake, I keep forgetting LI changed the schedule.

[supertv247]

Maybe they were going to put it on Saturday, meaning 10:30 BB, but decided to do Friday and then maximise the chance of better ratings on Saturday since it doesn't have love island..... If so, that's not so badly thought out as it seems

Well that's ****

Kinda glass for selfish reasons I'm at a party that Friday.

[Daniel-X]

Mess I read it as just that week, is this gonna be every week

Surely Blind Date is more a Saturday/Sunday show than a Friday? And does it need to be 90 minutes?

A C4 esque throwback of 8:30-9:30 BB, 9:30-10:30 Blind Date, 10:30-11:05 BB would've been a good compromise

thursdays are my fridays so i dont actually mind too much

[supertv247]

Blind Date will air on Saturday 17th at 7-8:30pm and Friday 23rd 9-10:30pm

EDIT - it's actually 'the Paul O' Grady Show' airing at 9pm on Friday, after episode 2 of Blind Date at 8pm.......

[Firewire]

Blind Date actually airs 8-9 on Friday, The Paul O'Grady Story is on between 9-10.30

[supertv247]

So that means it's only a one off then, and looks like blind date will air before bbuk evictions every Friday following

[Firewire]

This means the Thursday eviction will probably only be an hour

[TomC]

tbh I don't mind it means I will see more evictions live

OK this love island obsession is confusing me. Have the producers said something about this or is it just others thinking its about LI?


Thursday evictions - good news. Should get more viewers as BBs target audience are all out getting pissed out of their heads and munching kebabs then puking in a taxi on a Friday night so figures should probably rise

[Greg!]

So it's just for one day? Not too bothered!

[Headie]

Not too bothered idg why it's such a big deal tbh

[Greg!]

I swear they've moved evictions to Thursday before, even in the channel 4 days

[Pete.]

If it's just the one off then that's fine but...

[Jake.]

It really doesn't make a difference and the ratings for it might even improve

[Firewire]

It'll mean it's only 60 minutes though if it moves permanently

Not too bothered about the eviction day changing - but having to schedule around Blind Date is ridiculous. They don't need 2 episodes a week, especially not 90 minute ones.
