I don't really want an elaborate twist. If there's a twist to the format itself from the start then you don't need anything elaborate later on. House Next Door was a bit of a flop in BB7 and the return of the ex housemates was unneeded. BB7 was fantastic but the last 2-3 weeks were a drag.

10/11 weeks if perfect.

Yes, they've cut it down from 13 weeks to make way for yet more CBB (boring), but that is the one positive thing about it.

It isn't restricted, the whole show naturally quietens down around the 10th week, we don't need it carrying on for several more weeks afterwards.

New housemates is still possible, they just need to happen around 2-3 weeks in, which is perfect. Any later and they're pointless additions anyway.
