The ratings are poor , the theme is a bit of a turkey, yet they still persist with a summer cbb.
Although I know it's technically autumn, it will finish and barely 12 weeks later we will be back for yet another cbb What would it take to go back to one cbb a year and the regular bb return to its proper length |

Regular BB is back to its proper length, the length it had when it was most successful.

Despite me enjoying this series a lot, I agree. After regular BB (especially series considered bad, like BB15 and BB16 were considered), it's not recommended to have a series after it. People watched 9 weeks of manipulation, it's no surprise people didn't want to watch CBB even though the reception seems to be positive.
The ratings are poor, but they are consistent and after launch, the ratings have actually stayed pretty much the same, in fact Friday's eviction looks to have been the highest since launch. So yes, the ratings are poor but the consistency means people are enjoying/ So if there was a series like this in January, it'd be a success and pulling the mid 2m for sure. It's a shame, I've always thought it was overkill. |

3 series a year is asking a bit much
Maybe if they went back to 2 by scrapping summer CBB, they would put a bit more effort into marketing the regular series and making more effort into the regular series as a whole instead of letting it rot in favour of CBB |

I disagree dodge one just gone was the shortest since bb2, 13 week series were getting 4.5 million viewers
As for Channel 5, the most successful series was BB14, and that was only two days longer than BB16. History shows that the shorter series are more successful than the longer ones, on average. |
