The most positive outcome would be to rest it for a few years. I'm sure by then Channel 4 would look more kindly on reviving the format.
Quite frankly the thought of Five getting their hands on the show fills me with utter dread. And it would only be axed another couple of years down the line anyway, after they run it into the ground.
Completely agree. I think Five could do more damage to it than anything that's happened in recent years, especially if the Daily Star are put in charge of casting! Rest it now and I'm sure in the future it could have a fairly long term format, but a couple of years on Five could end up killing it off for good.
Last year I'd have understood, but this series just doesn't need Z-list celebs visiting the house - the HMs are holding the show together enough without them. The Glee task last week could have been done with one of the HMs themselves put in charge and Jedward bring absolutely nothing to the house other than annoyance, however entertaining they may be.
Celeb guests should only be used where it's Big Brother, rather than the celeb, who benefits from their presence.
On a more interesting note, Channel 5's interest in the format has been confirmed tonight. Which alongside information on Endemol extending their lease on the house's land for 3 more years, makes for a more positive outcome regarding Big Brother.

Looks like Jedward are on the way in (!)
