*grabs Jensen* where did you pop up from  *whispers to Rexi, she's been spying on us*

I still think a winter BB would be better, no sunbathing or swimming pool, there would be so much more arguments stuck inside all day

 Hey Aims ... I lurk but don't post so much now ... how are you?

I'm good ta mate, don't lurk join in we miss you x how are you?

I'm good ty. The only place i seem to chat lately is on msn 

well come and chat with us on here now again x

Yeah i'll try and get back into posting Aims  I miss you lot xx

There was a bit more to it than that...
I don't have the story to hand at the moment, but Private Eye covered what happened. Apparently the Endemol boys thought that a deal would be just a formality, but Desmond took them by surprise, being extremely rude and aggressive from the start.
Not only was the deal he offered a lot less than what they got from C4, but Desmond was trying to tie it to viewing figures: i.e. if the show didn't get a specified audience figure, Endemol would forfeit a certain amount of money. Endemol were having none of it, so they walked away.
If this is true, it sounds like either Endemol or Desmond have had a serious change of heart...

Oh please, please, please let this be true!

I miss BB so much

Ah! Who am I kidding? Of course I'll watch it!

I hope this story is true. I don't care who presents it - i can always moan, if I dont like them.

That's my take on it yogi. I've been building up an excess of bile in these non BB times, and I need to release it and vent my spleen, even on Dirty Desmond's C5 

That's it exactly Suzy, I need an outlet, or poor hubby might get it.

So true Yogi....all the time I spend having irrational dislikes for people who neither add nor subtract anything from my life makes for a very happy and content home life. Balance 

ooooh great news, i do hope it comes back.... with a decent UNBIASED presenter.... ooohhhhh

I loved George Lamb doing BBLB. .the fact he saw the HM's for what they were.. wannabe nobodys and was irreverent to them instead of sucking up made it even better..

I do hope it comes back too. .with LF as well. .without that tis just another one hour nightly  reality show that I can take or leave. .Big Brother was different cos I could watch it 24/7 if I chose to and see who the HM's really were in a moe rounded way, not what some editor wanted me to see... 

He was great for that. He completely owned a few of them. Noirin's Isaac had no come back to him, and he didn't totally fall under the whole JJ and Josie skipping through poppy fields crap.

I hope it comes back for the summer, not keen on JR hosting tho, as has been suggested, but will watch anyway

I'm not sure I do want it to come back...    I have started getting things in order for me to regain my life now! 

I will have to abstain if it returns...   I don't think I am strong enough to just have the odd hit now & then...    

My name is Ditty, I am a big brother addict, I have not watched a reality show for 132 days

I know what you mean Ditty

I really don't know if I would watch it if it came back.
I don't want to waste all that time again..

I'm with you, Issy. It was sad to see Big Brother go, but I got used to the idea, and now I'm not so sure I want to get sucked back in.

*Crossing fingers*, it would be great to have my fix back, but I agree with Olly ~ only if we get live feed. 

Its a waste of energy getting cross about very silly people

And if Davina is presenting it then I definitely won't be watching it.

I could cope perhaps if it was Emma Willis and George Lamb. I loved the fact that George clearly took the mickey.

I don't trust Richard Desmond.  He manipulated the editors of his paper (denied by him as expected - proved in court by the Tom Boywer case), I suspect his version of BB will also be heavily be manipulated by him and his desire for an exclusive story for one of his publications.

Oooh, I hope it comes back.
