So It's going to be like 8-10 days shorter than it was meant to be probably.

3.5 weeks left.

I think I will start to get bored in around 3 weeks time so I'm not too fussed tbh as the BB series' I've watched have been a bit stale during the final 1/2 weeks.

I guess an early August final would have been though as July probs going to go really quick.

[andybigbro]

Yes! So annoyed

[y.winter]

I wouldn't call it "slightly", so yes - it bothers. They should have done it last year, not this year...

[Mystic Mock]

The series is a bit average, and the ratings are poor.

Imo Endemol need to make a BB3, BB5, or BB6 type of quality if they want an audience to watch the show for 10 to 13 weeks like they used to.

[Strictly Jake]

I love this series so much so I want it to be much much longer

[lewis111]

I mind because this series is really good, how can this be over 2 weeks shorter than BB15

I maybe wouldn't mind as much if they had less HMs and could avoid this mass eviction

[MB.]

Yeah, especially when it's been a good one like it has this year

[Ross.]

Yeah it's annoying that they've actually produced a decent series but ended up cutting the length of it

[MB.]

And especially when it's half the length of BB7-BB10

Exactly, last year was so meh compared to this year's

[nonstop]

Nope. After loosing Georgina it's already over.

[Adamw92]

When the series has been as good as this one, yes it does bother me.

[cookiemonster]

i didn't even watch the last 8/10 days of last years, or the final, coz they messed it up so bad, but i'm liking this years a lot. so i am annoyed. 8 or however many weeks is not long enough!!

[Jamie89]

Doesn't bother me at all. Tbh, even if it was like 6 weeks, that's still a really long time when there's an episode every night. 8 weeks is long enough imo

[Babayaro.]

Yes, absolutely.

[Razor]

Any loss of time in the BB house isn't good.

[Dylan95]

Yes it's ridiculous it's nearly becoming the same length as CBB wish they'd scrap summer CBB for a longer series

[reece(:]

It's a joke when trash series get longer runs but we finally get a decent-ish series after 3 average ones and it's cut short!

[Clootie Dumpling]

The earlier, longer series were engrossing because they were longer.

Eight weeks is not long enough for relationships to grow, factions to form, game players to get into their stride.

[Will.]

Have they confirmed why?

Perhaps Emma wants a break between CBB and BB to spend more time with her baby?

[supertv247]

Definitely, because it's getting shorter every year now. Looking back to my favourite series, BB7, this will be 40 days shorter.. Ridiculous

It's probably the ratings - Frow's apparently said that that 1.5 million is "the magic number":

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Yes I'm absolutely loving this series, IMHO it's the series since BB moved from channel 4 to channel 5, I'm gutted it's been shortened.

This totally agree
