One of the reasons that Channel 5 have launched earlier was that Elstree are starting construction on the new sound stage behind the live set which will disrupt their production of Big Brother.

Big Brother will end in around two weeks leaving a week or two between the final and the launch of Celebrity Big Brother, wrapping by the end of August/first week of September. They won't leave it four weeks between both shows because it's completely unrealistic and won't make sense. If they're trying to make CBB 26 days like last year this will make the most sense.
