It's weird that the entire future of the franchise rests on whether CBB20 is a flop or not.
If it gets decent ratings then BB will be renewed and we'll have at least 3 more years of BB on channel 5. If it flops then it will either be axed or enter a new era by becoming an online show and going back to its roots with live feed etc. Interesting times girls! |

They will know that, it's their reliance on running the show into the ground which has resulted in the constant desperation for conflict and ratings chasing ironically.

It's a shame that this is the end though, I've grown up with BB and I'll be really sad to see it go because of the nostalgia it has for me.
BB18 has proven though that there's no more life in the show |

Can't see the franchise being renewed across any of the uk terrestrial channels. It's stale with an ever diminishing viewership. So the maximum it has got to run is next year.
If it moved to online delivery it would need to be fresh and interesting for it to be feasible, and if that were the case, there is just no reason for it to be linked to BB. |

The format itself isn't stale, it's CH5's version of it that is.

The format is clearly stale, that's why they have changed it over the years, attempting to keep it fresh. The problem they have is that its morphed into something that is now unwatchable for the majority. Once that point is reached it just isn't recoverable. Back to basics for example, just won't cut it.

I keep seeing this opinion everywhere but this series has been really good?

I'm actually beginning to think maybe it is the format that is stale? Like I wouldn't have said that during BB15 as I thought that series was a one-off, but it's just gotten worse and worse each year and my interest in the show has faded really quickly since then. The show's no longer fresh or original anymore and the novelty wore off years ago.
That's not to say that the abysmal production hasn't also played a massive part in why this show has gone to ****, because it has. But I'm just over the show in general at this point. I haven't watched any of BB18 in like over 3 weeks and the last civilian series I watched fully was BB15. Last edited by Jason.; 07-07-2017 at 02:01 PM. |

I don't think the format is stale. the production is just bad, there's too many Z-Listers on civilian BB, (I love Channers but she should have been on CBB), and the lack of live feed which has drove former viewers away. They're to blame for the show being in this state ratings -wise

There were like 3 boring episodes last week but since then it's picked up and been really good. Also Sukhvinder, Isabelle, Sue, Chanelle and maybe even Arthur are top 25 housemates in my opinion.

Yeah I don't really find the format stale because Channel 5 doesn't even attempt to try and follow the format properly in the first place.is definitely tired though
It needs have a break, attempt to go back to C4-era level of production, follow the format CORRECTLY with live feed and following the main concept of BB rather than using it as a cross promotional tool for EOTB etc |

Doesn't Summer CBB always get 500k more than BB?
If that's the case this year it'll probably be lower than BB14

It will be sad if the show gets cancelled, but hopefully it will lead onto better things. Such as a new channel and producers who actually care.

So is the “can’t have BB without CBB and vice-versa” deal still standing?

The fact that it’s THIS series, which is amazing, is getting the lowest ratings ever is depressing

No it’s not - it’s in my Top 5 and people are slating it for no reason whatsoever

It's good episodes are great but it's bad episodes are truly awful, that's why it's being slated.

this series would maybe be in my top five if I've only seen five series.
