DreamAngel Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Courtesy: Buddy TV Will Big Brother 8 be the end? There is no doubt that Big Brother has a rabid and loyal fan base. When I first started covering the show last summer, I was astonished at how much fans were into their favorite reality TV show. The online presence is especially mind-blowing, with countless Big Brother apologists logging in and enjoying the live feeds, populating epic message boards, and more or less making Big Brother feel like the most popular show on the planet. Unfortunately, this loyal fandom is misleading. Big Brother has increasingly struggled in the ratings over the past few seasons. There are various possible reasons for this: increased competition in the summer months, mishandling of the franchise, a formula becoming tired, etc. It's most likely that the combination of these things have culminated in Big Brother slowly slipping out of the national consciousness. It was questionable whether Big Brother would even receive an eight season. Will this summer be Big Brother's US swan song? Former executvie producer Arnold Shapiro was forced out after Big Brother 7: All-Stars, which many purists viewed as an abomination. Allison Grodner steps in to try and revitalize the fledgling show. Can we expect some drastic changes? I would assume so. What these changes entail are a mystery. I suppose it is possible for extreme alterations to be made, perhaps even to the schedule. I always felt that, although the three episode a week system did make the show unique, the amount of episodes were overkill. They could easily cut it down to two a week, but I doubt they will. If CBS head honcho Les Moonves wasn't married to Julie Chen, she would surely be shown the door. The difference between someone like Julie Chen and Jeff Probst is akin to the difference between that dried piece of gum under your seat on the subway and filet mignon. The point is, if CBS doesn't figure it out and turn Big Brother back into the summer hit it once was, we probably won't see a Big Brother 9. -Oscar Dahl, BuddyTV Senior Writer (Image Courtesy of KiroTV.com) Full Article: http://www.buddytv.com/articles/big-brothe...e-end-6223.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 No doubt that Jeff Probst is an excellent host, but as weird as it is I can't imagine BB without Chenbot. bb9 must live! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAngel Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Courtesy: JAM Canoe Big Brother 8 (premieres July 5 on CBS): A new group of house guests will move in together for the summer. The one who can outlast all the rest will walk away with $500,000 and exactly 15 minutes of fame. Full store here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King123 Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 Yeah, i personally like chin.... BB wouldnt be the same without her, sure somebody might be able to do a better job, but it wouldnt be the same. kinda like Price is right without Bobby... sure somebody probably would do a better job, but it just takes so much stuffaway from the show.

TwinCity Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 bet it would only count for 1 .. having all tv's turned on because the all come from the same cable connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King123 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 during BB i always put all my tv's on CBS lol, just to try to help ratings.. hehe i hope it works. anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflower05 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 i think we will get big brother through at least season 10, and even then it could get moved to a cable channel, due to how much the live feeds make. i don't think big brother is going to get canceled for at least a few seasons yet, because they make a lot of money on the live feeds. all network tv is down right now. reality tv is also cheaper to make then scripted television. so they won't cancel a show like big brother, until they would have something else to replace it with. they won't take a chance and replace it with something that could automatically bomb, and lose out on the big brother audience, and all the money they make on the live feeds. no tv station can just survive on reruns in the summer anymore. it is just like with survivor. the ratings are down, but survivor is still a top rated show. it is still in the top 20. so until cbs has a sure hit to replace it with, survivor isn't going anywhere, and neither do i think big brother is either. they won't try to replace either show, until they feel they have a sure hit to replace it with.

sunflower05 Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 i think pirate master will do okay in the ratings, but if it would flop, i especially don't see it going anywhere. this is just my opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamAngel Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I doubt they would move from a house that is only 2 years old. To the other side of the country no less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwinCity Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I agree Dream. They have too much $$$ tied up in that new house. Sad thing is I prefer the old house better. Close quarters makes for a lot more action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAngel Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 I like the new house but there has to be a new rule that only the HOH is allowed in the HOH bedroom. Maybe with one guest but that's it. It would force the rest of the house to co-exist and possibly the HOH would feel isolated and it would add a bit of "Are they plotting against me" to the equation.

Marty Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 It would be stupid to move to Florida and deal with all the rain and hurricanes and mosquitoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King123 Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 i hope they do a YEAR ROUND bb.. hehe that would be awesome... start out with 44 players.. jk. but i agree, i dontt think they would move the house to FLA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunflower05 Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 i do agree that you don't want want sleep overs in the hoh room like in bb6 that wasn't good. you have to be careful about limiting people in the hoh room though. if you limit it to too few at a time, then people won't be using it for scheming.

TwinCity Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 I agree sunflower.. maybe there needs to be an "open" time for hoh, say maybe 7:00 to midnight .. and limits the other times.....or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamAngel Posted June 3, 2007 Share Posted June 3, 2007 With the HOH room it would have to be all or nothing. Like they could make a rule that they are only allowed to talk about nominations in the HOH room AND only one guest is allowed in per day or even per week.
