No, nor me, I scan read your post.

[Ramsay]

Hopefully that is the case

They definitely have contracts which stipulate some kind of end date, it's the same for the civilian housemates too because I remember Jack and Joe discussing the finale date which was written in their contracts on the first days live feed - and IIRC in the end that finale date came true

I'd imagine it's maybe a contract with a four or five day space maybe either side so they have some leeway as to when to schedule the finale? Unless they're literally going to talk to the housemates and their agents and discuss a weeks extension?

It'll probably be a Tuesday final instead of the previous Friday or something, or maybe just two days? Interesting though

[Josy]

This could have posted in the thread we already have?

Merging.

Ratings are strong, Channel 5 probably making the most of it

To be fair though - the ratings are good yes, and they're ahead of last years celeb series, but they're not like MASSIVELY ahead.

[Videostar]

OR are they worried that Jim might actually win this now so are extending it to hope he puts his foot in it?

Is this there are reliable source for this info? it could easily be that theres a triple eviction, or that Brian Dowling is going in to resume the clash with Jim that Brian started on Hell's Kitchen.

That would be awesome

[Jack_]

This'll also help with evictions too if confirmed because if tomorrow doesn't somehow turn into a double we were looking at at least a six person final if Friday's and next Wednesday's evictions were doubles, and in a ninety minute show we'd have probably had 6th and 5th leaving together

This gives them an extra eviction, so we could get a final five if they did two doubles and two singles

[JohnnyBB]

OMG Amazeballs, they might have axed summer celeb bb.

That or a scheduling decision. Would rather they extended the civilian series.

[Jack_]

Wouldn't be so sure about the axing of summer CBB, I know it's not been officially confirmed but there's been lots of references to 'well there's always the summer' on BOTS so far

Was last years summer CBB even confirmed properly?

[JohnnyBB]

its historic A reality show has never been extended before, during the series itself.

Don't think it was?

Hopefully C5 see that the summer series are **** and they always are

[Rob!]

If Luisa is evicted tomorrow, this will seem like a terrible idea as the love triangle isn't going to exactly flame up the series.

[erinp5]

So do the remaining Hms get an additional fee?

I'm voting for her to stay, i'm sorry i really like her but Liz needs to go tomorrow. I'd much rather see Jim being Jim, even though i don't like him i want to see arguments.

Then BB needs to have a nominations twist to put Sam, Jim and Linda up!

[Loukas]

oh and really happy about this news, now all the need to do is axe the summer CBB and save their money getting bigger stars to do a 4 week series in January

Spoiler:

& bring back live feed

Surely they can't do this though if they've all signed contracts for three weeks?

Maybe there was a clause in the contract about extending time in the house; I mean if there's a clause dictating that the money they get will be reduced if they walk out of the house then there are probably other clauses regarding time spent in the house too. This is great news! This series has been lightning in a bottle, quality television!
