ITV or Channel 4 should claim it and follow the US/Canada format. Rename it Big Brother: The Game or something.

QUOTE(Klaus @ Jan 21 2018, 12:06 AM) Yeh this is not official confirmation but I’ve been fully expecting it anyway. Ratings have been sliding, Love Island is exploding and the channel controller hates it. Don't know why Love Island is so popular, never watched it really apart from the old celebrity Love Island which seemed rather boring tbh, but its just a very low brow dating reality show as far as I am aware judging from the title and sounds AWFUL. Are there any tasks in it apart from people kissing and occasionally appearing to have s*x?

And judging for the promotional picture for the last series, its all people that look like models in it for example all all the men have extremely toned upper bodies! |

Surely if it wasn't true, they'd just come out and say it's bullshit and not that it's "pure speculation"

It's not going anywhere apparently
 https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/big-brother/...led-rumours/amp QUOTE However, rumours have spread that Channel 5 and Endemol – who produce the show – are in discussions about its fate.
Now, Daily Star Online can revealed that Big Brother isn't set to go anywhere, and instead there's a plan to save the series. Rather than getting the chop, Channel 5 are set to continue to air the show, but they want to pay less for it. |

That completely makes sense, they can’t pay the same for it as they did before as it’s getting nowhere near the same ratings. However, it is their biggest ‘online’ show and they don’t have enough strong shows to fill the gap it would leave.
I think scrapping the summer CBB is the best move to save money. 3 series a year is tiresome even for superfans and just creates a fatigue. The summer CBBs are always the worst. |

TBH it would be easy to save money, perhaps cut the summer series because honestly ice the last time I really enjoyed the summer series
And then stop paying through the nose for people like Ray J who give 0 entertainment.

For me the civilian BB >>>> Celebrity BB so I'd much rather they cut the Summer CBB and spend more time and money on the civilian BB

C5 love the CBB's tho so I can't imagine them cutting the summer version. One thing I do think they'll do is drastically reduce the length of the civ version - perhaps to even 3/4 weeks :/
EDIT: Can the thread title be changed?

“ITV is one of a number of major television groups considering acquiring Endemol Shine Group“

Hmm I think I'm here for that tbh, Big Mouth was getting really shit and stale, and I always preferred BBLB on Channel 4, it was just more fun and more about the show rather than weirdos in the audience, who was on the panel or Rylan. I like Rylan, but I just prefer the BBLB format and whole vibe of it.
There are rumours we're back to the proper social experiment days which I would be SO here for, but they say something along the lines of going back to the roots every year nowadays and it never comes to fruition CBB in Jan was the most its felt like channel 4 BB for ages though in places so there's more promise. Why do I always get drawn in to inevitably be disappointing when the house is full of Ex On The Beach people and Love Island rejects?

I think CBB showed that tbh |

They certainly should do! Especially in the wake of Love Island which appeals more to the scripted reality fans, I don't see the point in BB also chasing that, airing an hour afterwards. People who are really into to Love Island aren't going to also get into BB just because it's chasing the same demographic, they're better off at least trying this approach for perhaps getting older fans back. They aren't getting the viewers by going for that demographic so I don't see why they can't at least try it, if it goes badly they can cut the series short like usual, cut their losses and go back to focusing on CBB. But they get CBB mostly right so I can't see why if they try they can't do the same with civilian. Because they carry on as they are, they're gonna be losing fans without gaining the "Love Island" kind of viewers...
I think what Scene said might actually be best, perhaps a different channel following the US/Canada format might spice it up. I've always wanted them to at least try that for one of the celeb series or something, but ofc the producers would be hating themselves if they paid hundreds of thousands for some big controversial name and then they were horrible and got voted out first. |
