Do u think bb might get canceled?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

What is it and what station is it on?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

It's a teatime celeb show on ch 5

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Thanks Stuart for that. Is it any good? Have to admit I dont watch channel 5. Started to watch the Wright stuff a few times and the guy on it annoyed me and that was about it

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I hope bb does't get cancelled but they got to sort these riots out. Football games have been cancelled

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Sporting event have only been cancelled because they feel the police presence would be needed for the riots instead. Why would they be needed for BB?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

you know what clebs are like car't see them wanting to go in the house while all this is going on.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

The HOUSE!!!



Amazing!! so much better than last years.

Isn't it time for a mod to make an offical BB 1 thread now?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Why do you need another thread?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Last year there was a thread made a good while before big brother started and then when big brother was starting an official thread was made for big brother

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

As there are only a handful of people posting about BB or Celeb BB as this will be I do not think there is a need for a seperate thread.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Are you a fan of Big Brother, Stephen?

I don't care much for the celebrity one.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

There is no need for a new thread at present. More than 50% of all the posts in this thread have been made by just 3 people. That doesn't warrant different threads for this, that and the other. It's not as if the subject is likely to become confusing.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

The bb house looks great. I so cart wait

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Maybe if you could change the title?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Again, I see no need. The current title accurately reflects what's happening well enough for all forum users bar about 3 or 4 of you who are enthralled by every minor detail. ;)

I've set my TiVo series links already for CBB.

So who is supposed to be going in? I've heard Kerry Katona (possibly her ex! later on) Jedwood (aaaarrrggghhh!) .. there were rumours around Pamela Anderson and Charlie Sheen! :shocked:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden will reportedly join his ex-wife Kerry Katona on the new series of Celebrity Big Brother.

also about the live feed:

Meanwhile, it appears even more likely that the live feed has been axed, as there are still no live feed slots on either Channel 5 or 5*. The broadcaster remains tight-lipped on the situation.

6 days to go everyone. the house looks great. car't wait to see the chair have they realsed a pic yet?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I'd take all these rumoured celeb housemates with a pinch of salt if they're anything like previous years rumours

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Have you noticed that each year Pamela Anderson has been rumored to go in, do people really wanna see her that much :/.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

yer ive noticed that. I dont really want to see her but i dont think she will ever go in.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

They are advertising it very well! i just saw the advert on living and i heard it was on ITV1 and ITV2.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

just been checking the tv listings for bb.

Thursday

So there no bblb no big brother big mouth and no live feed
checked all the 5 channels and not 1 min of live feed

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Its Channel 5, your lucky its not called 'Large Male Sibling' or something. They operate on a shoestring budget and no doubt this series (the Celebrity version) will be costing them quite a lot of that.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Not long now.... :hyper:

Love the look of the house, plus Diary Room chair revealed!!

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Big Brother live feed axed in favour of video clips
Senior Endemol staff have said that Big Brother live feed will not return for the new series, as the show is targeting ‘casual viewers’.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

So we need a iphone or an android phone to watch the clips?!, not happy.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

To me It's dead in the water and was expecting that they will be telling us no live feed. They wasted there time bringing it back :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

im not happy as well. They saying this is going to be the biggest bb ever how can it all we got its the high lights show and clips on iphone and android phone.
I really thought they would had given the fans what they want.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Looks like Charlie Sheen is going on Big Brother, he landed at heathrow a few hours ago :O.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Wont see much of him with on live feed if he is going into the house with no live feed :mad::mad::mad:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

im glad he going in think he be funny

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

What a load of crap - the missus has just tuned into 5HD - I think I'm going to jump out the window...

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I never understood the appeal of the live stream. In most of the bbs where it was available, it seemed to consist almost entirely of the housemates talking or sleeping. The one time when it probably would have been interesting (when the housemates really kicked off), the live stream was shut down.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I never understood it myself. Claire would sit for hours watching the live stream of them all asleep.
Well - she did until I employed the sellotape trick ;)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Everytime I put on the live stream it was on the bed channel.

Bad news... Media Boy is NOT going into the CBB House.:)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

The live stream was only shut down once and that was for the fight on bb5. On bb9. The night this happened the feed wasn't shut down http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK6AgOnU_9Y

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Disappointed in some of the housemates, Brian did a great job!

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Yep. you'd never know he was reading from an autocue when he was reading from an autocue.

Has anyone punched Jedwards heads in yet?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Well I know who Jedward are and that's it. Good to know Channel 5 are cheaping out on this so the rest of the schedule doesn't suffer.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

That we will never know only what they show us on the highlights and want they want us to see

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I'm sure he'll settle in to the job soon enough... Davina's shoes are very big to fill :)

I'm not a fan of Jedward, but i thought the Panda shoes were funny :D

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I watched to see who was going in and after that I wont be watching it. I honestly cant understand why they brought it back. They should be looking for viewing figures and not alienating the hard core fans. It was a massive mistake they made and I think it will fail really bad

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I'm gonna watch the next few show and see how it goes... Kerry K looks like she might actually be funny. The clip they showed of B.B.B.O.T.S showed some promising stuff... :D

No live feed is a big problem though... :(

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I cant get interested in it. After they all went into the house last night then we should have been able to see like on Channel 4 how the housemates were getting on, who was running for the beds getting to know who they were and what they were about and watching how excited they were or weren't. It was the most stupid decision that channel 5 made putting a lot of money bringing bb back and then no live feed. They really do need there heads examined.

I'm struggling to even understand why they brought it back if they weren't going to give the fans what they want and already know there was a backlash when there was no live feed the year before last and then last year when channel 4 allowed people the option to buy live feed the numbers jumped again.

Oh well the excitment is gone I had when I heard they were bringing it back. :(:(:(

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Sasha, the number of fans of Big Brother had been dropping for years. The live feed is not going to bring them all flooding back in the numbers required for Channel 5 to make money back on its investment in the show.

They have decided the best way to pick up larger numbers of more casual viewers is to invest their limited budget in social media rather than the live feed. It may not be what the hard core wants, but the hard core never pays the bills because its too small - that's why Channel 4 canned the show last year.

At the end of the day, this is not the BBC. Channel 5 is a commercial operation without the obligation to cater for minority groups. It has to make the sort of TV that attracts enough viewers to satisfy advertisers and that really is all there is to it.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Well they shouldn't have brought it back then without doing there homework and know what the fans wanted and instead of just left it be dead and buried as that would have been better than the way they are doing it now. The numbers were way up last year when people paid for the live feed on the net. I would be willing to pay for it like last year. It's not like they cant make there money someway.

It was a waste of money throwing big money as a house that no one will really see. Really really :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

They did do their homework though. That is why they didn't bring back the live stream this year. The fans that want the live stream are in the minority and it wouldn't have been worth their while investing in the equipment and tech needed for the live web stream.

I am perfectly happy with the highlights show and the bit on the side as well.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I'm happy that you are happy really with the bit of the highlights they show but we can agree to disagree that they didn't do the homework and not cater for the people who like the live feed and as I said a lot of people would even pay for it quite happily. The ratings are going to go down and down just with the lack of live feed no matter what.

It's not big brother without the live feed no matter what and they should Have renamed it to something else.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

That's daft Sasha. It is what it is - a sealed TV studio in which volunteers are made to perform stupid tasks for your entertainment. The format hasn't changed and the contestants won't behave any differently as they don't know when they're being observed and when they aren't.

You may disagree with the way in which Channel 5 has chosen to broadcast goings on in the house, but it is still the Big Brother house.

Although I don't know why I'm bothering to argue, I'm not planning to watch it either ...

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Ah I'm not arguing with you Chris and each to there own. I'm just given what is my opinion and that's it.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I know ... ;)

It's fun though. :p:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Ah thats good then. :D:D:D

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

How we supposed to know when someone has strangled the annoying twins if there's no live feed?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Take a wild guess :D:D:D

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

We wait till the highlights and pray to God that they show us the whole uncensored act :)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Dont keep your mouth open waiting for it to happen as you may choke :D:D:D

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

How come they picked a bed each?
don't they sleep in the same bed together?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Who told you that? :erm:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I just assumed they did. I predict that Big Brother is going to turn into the Jedward show.

Kerry has just reminded me why I can't stand her :(

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

She played that well. Go into the house for awhile and and then get evicted and still get her fee. She done the same on Dancing on Ice. No effort and the week before the show where she was send home by the judges she had a holiday booked and at that stage she didn't even know if she was going to be the judges pick to go or not.

Are the evictions tomorrow night?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

If it's a vote to save then Bobby will go.

eviction's next Friday.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I really cant make a judgment really on any of them and how interesting or not interest as the Hightlights only really concentrated on Jedward and Kerry. It should be called the Jedward and Kerry show really

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I think Bobby will go... nice guy, but I can't see many saving him.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Thing is we it was like the Kerry and Jedward show and the rest were just extra's. Not really able to tell with any of them if they are interesting or not and it will also depend how good or bad they will make each one over the week in the highlights that will determine who is the fave to go.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I want jedward to win think they going to be well funny

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I only know Jedward and Kerry in it this year. Never even heard of the others. You would have thought they would put bigger stars in. I'm only a fan of Jedwards if we had the live feed, at least we would get to see more and then I would like the others.

How about you all who do you like and not like?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Well being a bit older than you I do know who most of the 'Celebs' are but they aren't exactly big stars at all.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Are Jedward in the house as two people? Like if the other housemates voted for them to go up for the public vote do they both go up or just one?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Lets hope so, it's had its time, it needs to rest in peace now. The worlds moved on.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

They're listed as one housemate http://www.channel5.com/shows/celebr...her/housemates

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

They are looking for viewing figures that is why they are not aiming it at the hardcore fans but the more casual viewers.

You seem to be taking the no live feed issue a bit too seriously;)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I'm not taking it to seriously but I voice my opinion as I have a right to do and to me big brother is not big brother without the live feed. I have no interest in the bit of highlights they give and expected to make up my mind about the people in the house on what they choose to show and what the put on the cutting floor.

I watched for the two nights of the live shows and that was it and I have no intention of watching it again.

Different if they did change there mind to bring the live feed for the ordinary show.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Last time I bothered with the live feed was about 4 years ago. I am happy enough with the highlights and the bit on the side show.

I never understand people that claim to be huge fans of something but then refuse to watch when something changes.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I can't understand how anyone can watch this rubbish.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Don't post in the BB thread then if you don't like it.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I accept that and everyone to there opinions as I cant understand a lot of people watching different things that I dont like but I accept that people have different choices and I dont have to understand why they like what they like.

We all have different tastes as if we didn't it would be a very boring world.

I dont go on the sport threads and just come out of the blue with a statment like "I dont how people watch this rubbish" just because I dont like sport or any other stuff that I'm not interested in for that matter.

Are you a fan or have you ever being one?

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

The only parts of the live feed from recent years that have been of any entertainment value have always been in the highlights anyway
....people just got to see them as they happened (well a 15 minute delay)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I really have to disagree with you and I saw a lot of things on the live feed that didn't even make it onto the highlights show but I will agree to disagree with you. ;):D:D:D

I don't mind Kerry, but not overly fussed.... Bobby is a bit dull... Sally I like, so I'm hoping she stays :)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

I didn't watch last nights and only watched the first two nights. The second one was as dull as dishwater as it was like the Kerry and Jedward show so couldn't get excited about last nights show. :(:(:(

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Saturdays was ok, but it's always bits of Fridays live show, hopefully less of Jedward tonight :D

I'm actually enjoying the "Bit on the side" show... :)

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

To be honest I didn't even give it a chance. Who is presenting it and is it anything like bbbm?

---------- Post added at 20:02 ---------- Previous post was at 20:01 ----------

With the money they paid Jedward and also the fans they have they will push and push them down our throats and get there moneys worth

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

It's presented by Emma Willis and another girl on some of the days (can't think of her name)

It's a cross between BBBM and BBLB.. it's a little bit rude at times, but it's on late :D

George Lamb killed BBLB on Channel 4 (nobody could replace Dermott though :D )

I still miss Davina, but I'm getting used to it and I want Brian to do well :cool:

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

Is it on tonight as I could give it a try? I dont couldn't stand bbbm or Geroge Lamb and like you only liked Dermot and he showed that he was a fan and enjoyed what he done but George Lamb was just there to fill in a space than even he couldn't do that.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

it's on 5* tonight at 11pm.. do you get that channel in Eire?

George Lamb just took the cash, he wasn't a fan of any sorts.

Re: Big Brother returns on Channel 5
 

No they dont have the rights to broadcast it but do have channel 5 tuned into the Sky box
