Celebrity Big Brother 2012

Here we are again and the start of another Celebrity Big Brother. I'm hoping that Channel Five pulls out all the stops and we get a cracking show that set us up for the summer. I know many, may be some of the executives at Channel Five included, would have been disappointed with the viewing figures for the main show, but  then again I thought the viewing figures did well against the autumn competition . This years main show be in it's rightful place smack in the middle of summer.

The format is the same of as that of the main show. People share a house for the duration of the show while being filmed 24/7. The housemates then get a chance to nominate housemates, normally once a week, to leave house via a public vote until the final week arrives. The winner is the housemate that stay's in the house to the very end. The main difference between the main show and the celebrity version is that later is shorter. The theory being is that celebrities have busier lives than everyone else on earth. Only time well tell who the celebrities will be for this years show. Rumours in the press change daily in the run up to the launch night.

Hopefully tonights show will be a big success for the television channel just like the main show in the autumn. Although show didn't get massive ratings it did pull the teen audience from the shows former channel, Channel 4. This meant Channel Five could charge more of advertising so supporting the cost of airing the show and increasing the companies profits. This has to be a good sign for the future of the format which looks like it is going to continue for some time to come.

The show starts tonight on Channel Five at nine o'clock. If like me you like to interact with the show you can do that via Facebook, Twitter or one of the many of the Big Brother forums like thisisbigbrother.com, which I think is the best of its kind on the net.
