Ex-winners to return to house?
Champions back for birthday task
ex-winners-to-return-to-house

The nine previous winners of Big Brother will all return to the Big Brother house later this series, according to a report in the Daily Star today.

The tabloid reports that former champions Craig Phillips, Brian Dowling, Kate Lawler, Cameron Stout, Nadia Almada, Anthony Hutton, Pete Bennett, Brian Belo and Rachel Rice will all return around the shows “10th birthday” on July 14th, as part of a “secret plan” to boost the shows ratings, which have fallen by up to half on last year’s figures.

Any boost from the return of former champions is likely to be short-lived though, as according to the Daily Stars ever reliable “source” producers only plan to send them in for one day, teaming up with the BB10 housemates for a “special task” and making it a “day to remember” for fans.

Last night’s C4 show got just 2.06m viewers, compared to over 4m for the equivalent show last year.

Before the birthday celebrations are marked in mid-July there is speculation of twist taking place next Wednesday, with an extra show scheduled to accompany the launch of Ugly Betty.

They should consider doing a live two hour special and clean up with the ratings that night.

To be fair the equivalent show last year was the ejection of Alexandra

Yes it was, but to be fair C4 haven’t been fair to us, so why should we be fair to them.

The shows before hand were all around 3.5m, 1.5m up on the shows this year.

did anyone see craig phillips on loose women? He said that when they were recording BB Big Quiz all the housemates were shouting over each other to get attention from the cameras. He said it was embarrasing and he felt sorry for davina for having to try to present the quiz show. TBF BB Big Quiz was poor, very poor

Brekkie what a petty comment to make. You know the two days can’t be compared, its like comparing the first eviction show to Saturday highlights and wondering why they aren’t rating the same.

Brekkie says: June 19, 2009 @ 8:24 pm

God, they’re screwed aren’t they if even Davina doesn’t like the idea.

Of course if it does happen in a couple of weeks it’ll be the best idea ever according to Davina.

They are a year too early though. The show began on 14th July 2000 making it the 9th birthday.
