Logistically it's near impossible to pull something like this off without one of the houses being shunned unless we are getting two hour highlights shows.

[elliebrew]

To be honest i wouldn't mind seeing th back of Civilian Big Brother once and for all.

[Daniel.]

Can't they just stop being brain dead and put 16 big personalities in a house and watch them create there own dynamic, which is what made the like of BB3 and BB5 get 5 million viewers.

[Cal.]

We already got celebs/civilian divide in BB16 tho what's the point in having it AGAIN the following summer?

[Greg!]

If this is true then I'd rather they just canceled normal big brother

[BlankSpace]

Is it me or have we seen a few reports about people being going into CBB already? Or is it normal at this stage?

[Babayaro.]

A ****ing mess

[supertv247]

The fact NOW has clearly forgotten about regular BBUK and stated "Celebrity Big Brother is planning a controversial change to the upcoming series that’ll see the stars living with ‘regular’ housemates" made me think... If they done BBUK like we wanted and expected, THEN had this twist for summer CBB (so adding some regular housemates to the usual summer CBB lineup) like what NOW sort of means, I'd be happy. That would be a cool twist on CBB, like Chantelle on a bigger scale.
But absolutely no way should they do this twist in BBUK..

[Cal.]

There's no point mixing BB and CBB at all since they're too seperate shows. The only time they should be mixed is for an All Star series.

[supertv247]

Also, the only 2 times Celebrities have ever mixed with civilians in Big Brother, a civilian won both times. It is pretty obvious who we'd prefer..

Thank you! I've been a lurker for god knows how long, don't know why I never joined until now

Looking at it realistically, I don't think the extension is big enough to be a full house in itself.. so I doubt it'll even be possible to have 2 separate bathes of HMs living in 2 separate houses.

[Marsh.]

Have they learned nothing from the flop of Timebomb?

[Pete.]

I like this though

Its not groundbreaking because this was the premise of CBB4 (producers told Chantelle there would be a mixture of regular and celebs)

A clear sign it's a terrible idea.

[Pete.]

Anyway

If VTS is used then the celebs will just cruise to the end, so this is flawed in that sense. I doubt this will even be a thing because we have 2 months+ until BB and this is just mere speculation (or have the producers confirmed it idk)

[Pete.]

I'd be here for 5 celebs living in the secret house

(and welcome Super )

[Jay28jay2]

It would be better if it was British Civillian Housemates and Old Big Brother Housemates from Around the World (Big Brother Canada teas but its intentional, it would work out much better. What would you call this season? Civillian Celebrity Big Brother??)

[zakman440]

Probably something along the lines of "Big Brother: Battle Of The Stars" *shudders*

[Amy Jade]

Lauren Murray is most welcome!

[zakman440]

Oh dear

[Rob!]

Tbh I've been expecting them to do something like this for a while.

[TomC]

what I gather (if this is true) is that they'll merge BB and CBB. So I wonder what they'll call it? Surely this is them trying to regain viewers for BB by bringing the additional CBB viewers to BB?

EDIT: They'll call it Big Brother: Celebrity Takeover!

[*mazedsalv**]

They can screw themselves with this bull

[*mazedsalv**]

IF this happens, there really would be no need for a summer CBB anyway
