With the news of 24-hour lived feed axed and no Davina appeal but possibly Brian hosting main show and Josie the equivelent to 'BBLB' Im not as positive in the upcoming series...

So I got wondering, are next year's planned series confirmed or just in talks depending on the success of CBB8 and BB12?

100% Confirmed.

They're confirmed as in they have signed a contract to air two years of the show, but i'm sure if BB12 completely fails miserably then they'll probably be able to cancel CBB9 and BB13.

And goood, because if these fail at least we know we have 2 more attempts to get it right (yn)

Possibly - it'd take alot of work though and time.

And personally I couldn't see them going through the process of cancelling the contract because Big Brother 12 only pulled in about 1 Million per night; that's the equivalent of 3 Million for Channel 5.

Exactly; then they'd hopefully realize axing live feed was a disgraceful idea and improve that come next year for BB13.

I can't see them doing it either after the amount they paid to air the show, you'd think they would want to get the most out of the time they have with it.
