measure summer ratings differently than regular ratings.

I don't think it's gonna get cancelled, but how funny would it be if they killed it like Pirate Masters, and kept the live feeds up, but the cast
didn't know the show wasn't being aired anymore.

They have several shows coming back, but they still have several shows to fill. For example, shark isn't coming back anytime soon. So I think the show will
have a full run. I just think if their was any plans that this could be a winter show will now keep the show firmly in the summer, but I don't think this
season is going to be canceled or shortened.

I think they would angry too many people if they did that, Pirate Master was a pre-shot show so I think that is also the difference. I don't think they would want to kill it and hurt their summer run. |

I don't think bad ratings, or even if this season turns into a complete borefest would hurt the summer ratings. It's a perfect summer show, when most
other shows are in re-runs.

i think CBS makes too much money off the live feeds $$$ to ever cancel no matter how bad the ratings, really...
the live feeds are this shows cash cow for CBS |

brooks5210 wrote: Yeah but because they still want to hang onto their summer edition this will also get a full run. This is why I have said i think we will get a full season, but after this it goes back to just being a summer show. I do think we will get a regular 3 month edition. |

From Zap2It:
ABC grabbed the biggest audience on Sunday night, but NBC's updating of "Knight Rider" helped the Peacock to a demographic victory.EPISODE 1: 4.6/7 EPISODE 2: 3.8/6 EPISODE 3: 4.1/6 At least the ratings went up a bit from episode 2. |

I think it'll get a full run, what a full run ends up being is going to be the kicker. If they vote out two people a week that puts them at six weeks
which is about what they need to fill the gap.

I think they are going to end the couple's twist. A lot of the regular big brother fans aren't huge fans of the twist, and want a regular length season. Not all of their shows are coming back in April. For example, I don't think Shark is coming back in March/April. |

No great news about the ratings yet, but I'll remain optomistic. Considering its been going against the highest rated show on network TV one can't
expect huge ratings from it. And its not like its coming in fourth in its timeslot each time.

I watched the most recent episode for a few minutes, then turned the TV off. They were just sitting around and talking. It wasn't interesting.

Viewers: 7.16 million (#4), A18-49: 2.3/ 6 (#4) I think you are right about your prediction about the getting rid of couples format. |

Why the hell would getting rid of the couples format bring ratings up?

CSCin3D wrote: Um maybe because that is the fuckin' format that fans are used to seeing for the past 7 years. Duh. The twist has caused a lot of drama but for people that don't watch the live feeds the new format is probably disappointing to them. Think of it as the
equivalent to when TAR stupidly did that family edition. Its just different and not how BB is usually played.
