Big Brother is banking on a late start this summer to win back ratings for Channel 4.
The reality show normally kicks off in May but will begin on June 5 - avoiding a clash with its ITV rival, Britain's Got Talent which ends in May.
And, despite falling audiences, it will continue for 13 weeks just like last year.
Davina McCall will still be the main presenter but Dermot O'Leary will no longer present the spin-off show Little Brother after quitting to concentrate on The X Factor.
A show source said: "A lot is resting on the opening week.
"If it is not a big hit, the size of show could be drastically reduced next year or maybe even axed."
Tv bosses are now looking at a secret shortlist of around 50 contestants.

I cant actually believe that they are looking at a secret shortlist of around 50 contestants  By now the show should be completely organized
Whats going on?
and why 13 weeks? apparently they were going to ruduce (9) to at least half that length diue to last (8) having poor ratings. Perhaps its because they got the idea of introducing all women first and then bringing the guys in one by one by one and that idea was a bad one at that. So this time they are going to give it one last shot and if it works then (10) is more likely, but otherwise they shall have to think of a new idea or summin

Theres still 2 months left. The housemates go into hiding 2 weeks before launch. About 20 finalists are choosen. It won't take that long to drop 30. Obviously it's doing the show good. Auditions began in late November.
