I saw a run down of the newspapers headlines yesterday and one of them (probably The Star) said that CBB had been axed. Is this true?

No, the show has been renewed until 2018.

Not heard anything yet.
The lack of sponsorship for the show is somewhat worrying though.

They say this every year, i don't think it's true.

I wouldn't mind at this point if it was though. Maybe then another channel could pick it up in the future and get it back on track. Channel 5 have butchered it.

There may well be performance related caveats within that contract though.

I was thinking that maybe they should bring back BB Celebrity Hijack for 1 series a year instead of 2 CBB BUT if the young people they pick are as boring as the ones this year then maybe they shouldn't. Having said that, the young people picked for Celebrity Hijack in 2008 were all doing well in their professions so maybe they will be a bit more clued up or at least about their own professions.

I can't see any other major channel taking the show now.
I'd love to see it back on C4 with a full live feed but that's just me dreaming.

I really enjoyed Celebrity Hijack. There was less pressure on that series to succeed and i think it made things better. It just flowed naturally. Every series these days is so chaotic and all over the place, it's hard to follow.

I love BB but it would be like a mercy killing at this point.

A couple of them at least have gone onto do really well. Anthony the boxer done well at London 2012 and is now a professional unbeaten boxer I think but was out for a year because of an injury and the winner John is doing alright in his political jobs too.
