I hope ITV don't win it. They probably wouldn't have BBLB or BBBM

I've just read that story and it reads like one of those gossip stories in The Sun, You know the ones where they go on about something and then the whole story is rubbished in the last paragraph.

A source familiar with the situation said Mr Shaps would put up an "almighty fight" to win the format. "Simon is desperate to buy it," the source said. "He is going to put up an almighty fight for it.
A source familiar with the situation?! Explaining that ITV would like Big Brother, well anybody could say that

However, an ITV spokeswoman denied that any formal approach to Endemol had been made regarding Big Brother.

Of course it is Banks - just like your notion that the programme will be cancelled mid-run next series.

Honest to god, you really don't have a clue.

Sorry to be blunt, but I'm fed up with reading your nonsense.

Yes don't take BB away from C4, that would cause a kerfuffle.

At least if BB was on ITV, most of the junk would then be in one easy to avoid location.

Thing is if it moved to ITV, they could change it too much, what about Davina, Dermot & Russel? Would BBBM & BBLB still be there, would there be new programmes?
You cant say if it will be a good or bad idea, you'll only find out if ITV does get BB.
