I love Love Island but like, in a couple of years it’s demographic will grow out of it and stop watching.

When the cast are all skinny and there's one or 2 black people thrown in and the maximum age is 29 which viewers think is old then yes I totally agree with you. How long can people relate to the same cast year after year?


Big Brother has a major advantage with a much broader cast which has lasting power...It's been on air for 18 years for a good reason.

I have a feeling that BB will not do too bad this year. I reckon it will get back to it's usual 1.6m (1.2-1.3m overnights). Sure it's not incredible but that's the norm for BB.

Last year flopped hard though. They need to promote the hell of it.

Totally agree they need a major marketing campaign (Hopefully it's leaving Channel 5 after they've rinsed it) but they are so dumb they don't even have idents with "BB starts tonight" or "7 days to go" which is the simplest form of promotion and what Love Island do perfectly.

They really need to make this year an event which is one thing BB has over Love Island because there's nothing like a live launch.

It needs that hype of real people who are gonna start real talk from every different background.....None of these models and boring attractive men with no personality who get fast tracked to 1 audition and have an agent.

BB isn't about looks (well it never used to be) in recent years most of the housemates look like glamour models and they literally have no personality.

Its been the most vapid/basic cast for 7 years.....Maybe perfect example: BB12's cast was a mix of the same age and same personalities.

I Really want BB TO LEAVE CHANNEL 5 AND COME BACK FOR ITS 20TH ANNIVERSARY ON CHANNEL 4 IN 2020 TO CELEBRATE 20 YEARS OF bIG bROTHER.

Oh **** left the caps on.....**** it.

At the end of the day BB is NOT Love Island... The worst thing BB ever did was try and emulate other reality shows... They need to focus on key elements that made BB special in the first place and build up from there...

Agreed having just turned 33 (and got id'd today for buying alcohol used for flavour on a BBQ...God im butch!)and that's why we TIVO the episode whilst getting ready to go out and binge watch the next day eating food which will give us diareah.

This man has no idea what he's talking about.

Seriously he probably has a 1999 tv/video combo....God they were awesome BUT STILL he has a 1950's mentality of how tv works these days...He probably grew up in the time when kids all went round to the 1 house who had a tv.
