Todays Star reports the show has been cut short by 4 days. Ch4's schedules published yesterday say the finale will now be shown Sunday January 16. "Insiders" say the reason is because even the bosses now fear the show-which they boasted would be bigger, better and have big names- will flop. So far the series has only attracted z-list micro celebs.

This sort of fits well with other rumours about how hard they have struggled to find anyone to do CBB this year.

Maybe cutting their losses is the best plan.

I read that it was on for 2 weeks

Perhaps the real slebs don't trust the BB producers to do their jobs right ....

... as previous experience of editing and favouritism in BB shows has proved that these 'producers' just out from uni don't have a clue

An accurate and fair assessment.....

it sounds like its going to be a loud of crap anyway but it will put me on until BB6 starts

Teletext say's CH4 have denied the cut to. They say the show will run for "at least" 2 weeks. and are happy with the chosen celebs.

Like rats leaving a sinking ship...
