So after 18 years Big Brother UK ended last night

[Gimme More 35,393]

so emotional! UK Twitter was full of love for the show last night!

Hopefully another channel picks it up!

 

Cameron won the 19th Civilian Series and became the youngest housemate to ever win the show.

Love Emma & Rylan, hopefully if the show does come back they continue to be hosts!

I heard Netflix might pick it up. People say it’s a dead TV show but channel 5 has done really well from having it, since they took it over their value went from £103mil to £450mil. I’m sure it will come back and I think if it Netflix took it over they would bring it back to its roots a bit, and hopefully won’t put fame whores in the normal BB.

They need to let it die now. C5 were able to give it a fresh feel after C4 but it's had it's time. If anything they should just stick to CBB

yeah i heard netflix might pick up too!

i just think channel 5 treated the show so awful this year, giving it SUCH a short finale and putting it on later every night and announcing it was ending on the day of this seasons launch!

i think this season of BB reminded me of old BB! i hope it does come back, i think it's crazy channel 5 got rid of it's most popular show

Nah, CBB sucks compared to BB. Plus, it's much cheaper for them in the long run. 

Nooo C5 did a great job of getting semi-decent celebs. Compared to C4 anyway. With BB cancelled maybe they'll save money so they could do an even better CBB  

I stopped watching BB when it changed though tbf

Tbh I flicked on to bits of this series and it was good but the editing killed it. Once they edited the show a bit differently it started getting tragic.

I think ITVbe should take it on. That channel really needs a boost and this could do it.

It needs fresh eyes though. Get a team in who will push the limits, make the themes more intense. Make it like Saw, or something.

My ideas for the show never got done but would've made for great viewing.

1. Start 2 people in individual pods suspended above the ground in the garden and have them unable to hear the other housemates. The housemates are given a few quotes/anecdotes about the 2 but don't know which person either of the 2 information sheets refers to. On a 90 minute countdown the house mates are told "Within 90 minutes you must choose A or B". However, once they choose one, it's the one they didn't choose that will get to stay.

2. All housemates start in soundproof glass pods in the dark. One by one they get lit up once per minute. They are released one-by-one eventually with the final housemate becoming Big Brother unbeknownst to the other housemates. He will talk to the diary room, he will choose tasks etc and we get to see all this with a behind-the-scenes style footage before all is revealed and he is put into the house in week 3.

I think sleep deprivation, lying about day/night, swapping cigarettes with nicotine-reduced, giving them alcohol free booze.. just so much still left to do.

It was better when it first started and it was a social experiment to see how people from different walks of life got on together in a confined space. 

Then it changed and became full of people with similar personality types acting up for the cameras and shagging each other because they wanted to be famous. 

I'd only want it to come back if it was going to be like how it used to be. I'm glad it's ended and I hope it stays that way.

This series hasnt been like this. A lot of them seemed like decent genuine people. There were some people who acted up a lot in the beginning but they all got booted out early on.

This reminds me of the Russian sleep experiment. 

But I kind of like the idea of fame hungry people putting themselves through torture in order to be famous. It's brutal and I can imagine the human rights protests already, but you can so tell that they wouldn't be short of contestants.

Good. It can stay away.

i feel the exact same!

this BB was very good!

I hope ITV/MTV pick it up! it'll be so strange it not being on TV when it has been on for so long! there is no other reality show like it where 'normal' people are able to go on it, i like love island but everyone looks amazing but Big Brother had people from all walks of life, different shapes and sizes!

maybe a rest for one year, but it needs to be brought back - it still has a lot of fans.

[highlikegaga 9,099]

i'm such a fan of the show.

my biggest dream is to have Gaga, Katy, Adele, Taylor and other pop girls be in the house together...but we know that ain't ever happening
