I've not heard any rumours like that. I think 6 months would be far too long and it would be extremely difficult to sustain interest for that amount of time. And, BB is often associated with the summer and that time period, so there would probably be an even greater lack of interest if it started in April because of the busy time schedule for a great number of people... (students like myself included, what with college etc.)

Now that it's been made pretty clear that the audience doesn't react particularly well to too many twists and confusing elements added to BB, it wouldn't make sense if BB didn't take at least some of that into account.
