I read in a newsgroup today thet the show Inside Edition said that Amazing Race 5 would be back next summer. Do you think there will be a BB5? I mean with all the criticism BB4 is getting and I can't blame anyone. The houseguests are spoiled brats and the talk of this being FIXED..

I think the ratings have been pretty good so BB5 is a safe bet.

No matter what is said, written, observed and speculated, BB4 is coming in mostly 1st (sometimes 2nd) in its timeslot. Sure, it's Summer and up against re-runs and not that many TV sets are even turned on in the Summer. But it is getting respectable ratings for a Summer reality series. For that reason I think it would have enough sponsors for there to be a BB5.

I think the show is pretty good its the feeds that stink.

I read an article in the New York Times, about 2 or 3 weeks ago. It was about TV programming, and about all the reality shows. Big Brother was mentioned. CBS is very happy with BB and its ratings, and they plan to continue on with it. So, from the article, it sounded as if BB5 is a sure thing.

Sure. It is the cheapest 3 hours of prime time TV they have ever seen!

BB5 for sure. It has become a CBS tradition for summer fare. Let's hope they have some interesting people. How about a group of the most memorable people from the first 4 Big Bros. Imagine seeing Marcellas and Chicken George and Danielle and Eddie and Josh and Will and Boogie go into the house. They would know all the tricks and tribulations to go through and I believe that it would be a Ratings bonanza. It would then return to regular BB for #'s 6 to 9 , then another reunion type show. Sounds delicious don't you think.

This speculation has now become a tradition. The show continues to get good ratings, so there's no reason for them not to produce BB5.

The TV show itself it very good--even better this year. I think it is those of us who have been watching every year--watching it on the live feeds--who have the most complaints about the casting and the so-called "twists." It's almost tradtional that we complain about the "spoiled brats." We do it every year and compare them to those of the previous year, forgetting of course that we pretty much "hated" that cast too. In this world of fast changes, it's nice that some things remain constant.

By the way, it's good to hear that Amazing Race is coming back--that show is really excellent but doesn't have the best ratings.

thanks for the great thread Jooleechenlvr. that's what i was saying as well and at the time i said it i truly believed it. But after reading comments here it may not be so...

Bonzacat i think you hit the nail on the head when you said that the tv show has good ratings its the live feeds that are lacking. i agree with you in that respect however it is the shows editors that deserve most of the credit there don't you think? BB is going to have to get their act together in the creativity department if they are going to pull off not only a successful bb4 but to justify a bb5 in my opinion. I know several people that have cancelled their live feeds and don't seem to rush home to watch this year like all the others.

Moelicious - i truly love your idea. i don't know why they don't consider this (maybe they are). To have bb5 hg's consisting of non-winners of previous shows would blow the roof off the ratings and live feed viewers. I would personally pay $29.95 per month just for the live feeds alone!

Mich - I totally agree with you about the editing. They are doing a very good job putting good shows together. They do not represent the level of boredom and the personalities we see on the feeds. This year I say, feeds (mostly) boring / well done network show.

Maris stated this also and I'm in agreement.

After tonight's show I'm really starting to wonder if it will be back. It was embarassing.

Doesn't matter how crappy the show is. As long as it gets good ratings, it will go on.

It really doesn't make a difference what people say here online about the show, all that matters is the ratings, and they are good... soooooo of course there will be a BB5 and you'll all tune in and hope for interesting people, right?!!!!!!!!!!

I hope there will be a BB5, but this time I hope Allison the wonderful person responsible for the X-factor this year will take the time to find some interesting people instead of picking 8 people getting lazy on the job(IMO) and deciding why don't we just find out who their Ex's are that will save us time a effort to look for 5 more people. I know Arnie and Allison think the X-factor was such a wonderful idea but it wasn't in my opinion.
