Default When should it start?
I think June again to try and avoid a launch as washed out as this year's finale and on a Friday or Saturday so we have the weekend to get used to the housemates before we go back to the work.

I would like a BB series to fit in perfectly with my school holidays so I think a July the 3rd launch and a 7th of September finale, I also think that it should be around this length anyway.

I don't think it should in september. X factor and SCD could have started by then and taken BB's thunder. But I like the length choice, 9 weeks right?

It worked quite well this year, so why not next?

I would like a series run from March to May
but realistically I would like a June launch with the finale end of August.

You could be on to something. Have it before summer so they don't spend as much time outside and get more frustrated = more arguements.

If it is going to be for 13 weeks () then it must start at the very beginning of May, and it should anyway, so it can be so fresh in people's minds, and so that it isn't seen as a "last option" once BGT or The Apprentice end on big highs.

But surely if it's too soon after CBB, people will just think "it only just finished!"? End of May yeah, but I think early May be a little too soon.

I think early June would be best then 11 weeks long so it would end mid-August. If they plan to launch in May, they should do it early like BB7 (May 18).

Are you the same DigitalSid from DS?

I don't think we'll ever have a May launch ever again if ITV keep BGT around that time

Mid June - Mid August

(Roughly around June 15th - August 20th, 9 weeks)

I also think it would be interesting to have a late September/October launch though and see what BB can come up with for Christmas and Halloween.

But then CBB would start soon after it ends?

They can still do halloween and christmas related tasks if the show's in the summer.

I would rather it started in mid-May and finished in mid/late August. Big Brother just isn't Big Brother without the summer heat.

It used to start in July, but I guess that wouldn't work anymore with the ridiculous 13 week runs.

Big Brother is a summer show and it wouldn't feel the same in any other time of year. I hated it ending in September. It really depends on other shows like BGT but ideally i would like it to start in the end of may/ early june but shorten the show slightly.

It should start mid May, and last for 11 weeks.
