The fans hate six in the final, Davina has said she hates six in the final, Dermot said he hates six in the final - and during Hijack even Big Brother said he hated six in the final.
So I fully expect they'll be six in the final yet again this year.
The argument it makes the last week more interesting just doesn't stack up. I still remember the final weeks of earlier series far more than the recent series - because with just 3 or 4 HMs, they really had to get on. Keeping six means they remain split in their groups until the very end.
And the ratings support that argument too - BB3 was hitting 7m in it's final week - and that was one of the best because apart from Kate and Johnny, the final four didn't particularly like each other - but had no choice but to get on for the last 7 days. And that was interesting to watch.
