Big Brother to return on Channel 5

[Suspective]

Channel 5 has signed a deal to air Endemol reality show Big Brother later this year.

The hit show, which launched the careers of Jade Goody, Kate Lawler and 'Nasty' Nick Bateman, was dropped by Channel 4 last year after a decade on air and 11 series. The programme also spawned a number of hit spinoffs and sister shows such as Big Brother's Little Brother and Celebrity Big Brother.

So what are your thoughts?

init, wont be the same without davina. Not that i really watch it anymore

[Misawa]

Probably the worst show on TV.

[Shar]

Sounds like a bad idea tbh.

[Andy-]

Hmm, the show wasn't that interesting in the first place. I doubt that i'm going to watch it now.

[Deak]

Never watched it and i never will do!

[prettyhotpixie]

i quite like big brother, hope they do put it back on tv! :D

[Jordan]

Woo, I love BB. Would be good if it did come back!

[lawrawrrr]

Just when I thought they'd got rid of it for good...


hated that show. still will hate it. WASTE OF TV TIME IMO

[Misawa]

It's a grandiose mess of fakeness.

[Oleh]

I only watch it for the "mentally challenged" people who enter the house. As they entertain me

[AgnesIO]

Probably the worst show on TV.

One of the few things where I 100% agree with you.

[Judas]

i liked big brother, but the last few series were a bit ehh... and channel 5? eh..

We gave it 3.5 stars.

I do genuinely love Big Brother. No idea why, most probably because it reminds me of summer, and gives me something to relate to. :)

Yet saying this, this seems like a bad idea. It won't be the same... :(

[Richie]

The show is decent the first two hours and the last two hours, some of the catchups are funny but others are a waste of time.

I knew this before Xmas they was talking about it on the Radio but they weren't sure weather Davina was going to be host of it

[Conservative,]

Never watched it - it's boring.

[Rixion]

What, being in a house of attention seeking freaks?

Agree it is really bad

[iLogan]

:o Hopefully Emma Willis will present it.

[Chris]

Have never been interested in big brother, it's awful imo. :P

[jackass]

Relate to Summer, not myself... :|

Davina has turnt down the presenting role, she said a while back she wouldn't do it as it was so emotional to let it go, but she's over it now!

I have mixed feelings as I did love Big Brother but I question will Channel 5 give it the budget it requires, will they be able to dedicate the whole of their evening broadcasting time to the show, will they find the right successor for Davina? I just think it'll either need to be really fresh and new or it'll just fail.

[Jessicrawrr]

wouldn't be the same without davina!

[Gibs960]

I think Davina made the show what is was. It's getting old anyway, they've already through most of the freaks and most of the celebs with no money left.

[peteyt]

I've never been able to understand Big Brother. It's like if I got a mate or two around, locked ourselves in my house and filmed it. Would you guys watch? The answer, well at least for most, is No. And to actually think there are people that stay up watching the 24/7 stream non stop.

However I don't think not having Davina well really effect it. Don't lie you didn't watch it for her, you watched it for the self concious, fake plastic, up their own ass wanna be pop stars.

I heard ages ago that channel 5 was going to at least attempt to get the rights and I'm not surprised to be honest. A lot of people will probably sadly watch, and Channel 5, well let's say its had its fair share of issues/low viewer ratings. I think Channel 5 probably thinks that this will be a massive booster to them, and it probably will.

I'll not watch it. As I stated I've never been a fan, but even past fans of the series do seem to think its been milked dry to the last drop.
