Brian stopped going by the number in CBB9 actually, half way through he stopped saying 'To be evicted from the CBB 2012 House..'
Even on the final he was like 'The Winner of Celebrity Big Brother' - the stupid bastard forgot the year, it was weird.

I found the saying of the year quite annoying, but think they weren't sure if they wanted to keep up with the old numbers of the complete line of channel 4 series and decided to play it safe by reciting the year. Would prefer Brian uses Big Brother Thirteen and leave it at that.
