Well if they're still contracted to another full series and a spin off to me it makes sense to have 13 week long BB11 over winter/spring and have a 4 week All Stars to round everything off in about August or September (including celebrities). It would make more sense than the suggested way of All Stars in winter then BB11 next year as usual, or a 13 week long All Stars series. the novelty would quickly wear off.

But looking at the top 10 for last week, BB is in 7 top 10 slots so Channel 4 are probably in a bit of a predicament about a renewal. Do they commit to another couple of series' and try to keep the ratings at their current levels, or do they axe the show for its own good and lose one of their highest ratings bankers?

BB11 is too late - 4 series too late in fact.

The damage has been done with this series now. Clawing back a few hundred thousand viewers was certainly possible - clawing back over a million - no chance.

There are at least 3m people watching this year so it is possible to get more people to watch and to get the ratings back in the high 2m range rather than the mid range they're currently on (talking of officials).
