I always wonder what the show would've done if we had Rylan going in as Jonathan's replacement (if it had not been leaked by the press
) as well as the sixth Halfway Housemate who dropped out days before entrance. If you had that, as well as Amanda & Sam not being one housemate, it would mean that there would've been NINE finalists unless they had like four double evictions in a row.
Would they have extended the series to fourteen or even fifteen weeks? I just don't see why they'd choose to throw in all these housemates if they only had weeks left until the final.
