its cheaper for c5 to ring someones agent than interview 1000s

so civvy BB fails because its changed so much from its original concept . i think”

Oh wow, never knew that. Have they actually completely stopped open auditions?

alot of it is down to the fact its only on for 3 weeks compared to the civilian series, so they havent got to sustain the entertainment for 10 weeks.

I actually think CBB on channel 5 is even better than the later CBB's which channel 4 offered up.

also the castings have been good, even though the term 'celebrity' is very loosely used now.

and the voting system is VOTE TO SAVE. this has been hugely important:

imagine if it had been the other way round? Luisa out first week, Speidi out as soon as they were nominated, those crazy american twins out as soon as they were nominated, Danica out. all these central characters doomed from the off. alot of these series would have turned out very differently using VTE.

CBB9 and CBB13 were gold, they are the BB3, BB5-BB7 of the CH5 era. It's no shock why CBB13 was the highest rated Ch5 series, it just all came together brilliantly with minimal interruptions.

Ch5 need to look back on CBB9, BB14 and CBB13, those are the three most critically acclaimed series on the channel, so should work around that.
