Default Should civillian BB move from summer?

So it's been a tradition for BB to air over summer since it has started but after this years ratings have tanked and LI stealing all the reality tv attention do you think it'd be a wise choice for C5 to try BB at a different time of the year?

I personally think at this point in the shows life it'd be worth a try just to see if they can get ratings up again. Winter CBB generally rates better than summer so having a series at the start of the year could be a good thing.

Thoughts?

Yes I agree, at least as an experiment

They should just axe summer CBB and launch civilian later in the summer so it doesn't clash with LI for the whole time.

Plus with BB being so short nowadays, it would finish by September.

This would be more ideal but it's just not realistic that they'd axe CBB

The only other downside to moving it would mean two CBB series back to back or it'd have to follow winter CBB but I could live with that if it brought some life back to the show.

I like Big Brother being in the summer and would never really like it to move but in fairness I remember thinking that BB12 airing in the autumn wasn't actually that bad? In an ideal world the pointless summer CBB would be axed but it's not going to happen so either:

Late May - Late June: CBB (so as to get a head start on Love Island)
Late July - Late September: BB

OR

Late May - Late June: CBB
Early September - Early November (to avoid IAC)

I don't think civilian at the start of the year would work really. I actually think the saddest thing about either of these scenarios is that the new house design would be for CBB and the modifications would be for civilian

Yes, they should try it in the Autumn next year. It will give the girls who are craving some more RTV after Love Island is finished something to watch. But If BB19 ends up being the last series then there's not much point in moving it.

Hmm I actually think having civilian BB a week after January CBB is over could get it a lot of interest. Then they can air the second CBB in summer to keep the tradition of BB during the summer.

Maybe they should move it to Spring time around April seeing as nothing else is on. CBB could start in June/July and that would be our summer version.

I genuinely think next summer, they'll swap them around like in 2011, so that CBB clashes with love island and "wins the war" but in all that will probably just damage CBB unnecessarily, plus I don't think they should air BB after CBB because nobody will watch 4 weeks and then want to dedicate themselves to another 8 weeks. It's different the other way around, cause you've just watched 7/8 weeks so may as well watch CBB for another 4.

I couldn't imagine it any other time of the year. People had their Christmas decorations up and BB12 was still on, it just didn't feel right. It's a good suggestion but I think it's too far gone in terms on injecting life back into it

Is there really even a civilian BB anymore? Most of the housemates seem to make a living at reality TV. Even Arthur came from reality TV. I'd like to see it stay in the summer, but I'd like to see them not have people who've been on a reality show before. And for the Celebrity one, I'd kind of like it if they stopped thinking of reality show people as "celebrities". Most of the time these people are all playing up to the cameras all the time. It's like they're so busy trying to make sure something happens, that they never just let it happen, anymore.

I think so - people tend to watch more TV in the winter Last year it started in May and was a successful series - I wouldnt say in mid winter during xmas but early spring yes.
