Don't they have a years gap between the two.
Wasn't BB8 the one with Dick and Danielle in the final 2. That wasn't a year ago.

And is BB9 the one going to be shown on UK TV starting this Thursday?

Thanks!

Yes BB8 finished last September, but BB9 is starting early due to the US Writers Strike (they're running out of scripted programmes). There will still be doing BB10 in July.

And yes E4 will also be showing BB9 US. It starts next Tuesday in America and it will be shown two days later on Thursday at 9pm on E4.

Its because of the writers strike another one will happen this year, doubt it will happen next year unless the strike is still on, in which reality will stll consist of most channels, ( andn dear god the reports that its nearly finished are god damn true!, although i love reality lol)
