Is this official though? I've only heard a report in one tabloid.
No, not yet - so not worth getting carried away. As many have said before though, it wouldn't really be a surprise so most people are taking it as truth.
Always felt we were sold a bit short on nine weeks - eleven seemed about right, though for some reason despite how patchy BB7 was last year I did feel it had another couple of weeks in it - probably because we still had six people in the last week.
I think it is capable of lasting around 13-14 weeks, but just extending out the original format isn't going to suffice.
They need to make changes to the format that warrant the extra couple of weeks - rather than jus stretching it out a bit more!

Amusingly, our version is still relatively short compared to most worldwide versions - 100 days is about the norm.
But the original intention of running it originally for nine weeks was that it was going to be punchy and tight for the audience it thought it was going to attract. Modern Big Brother needs more focus, really.

if it's The Scum, Daily Moron or Daily Porn Star then it's more than likely false, if it's the People then it's definately false.
Also I think if C4 wave enough cash in front of him to stay I think he'll reconsider

Hopefully they'll be forced to change the format with Russell Brand supposedly leaving. I must admit though, he seemed pretty miffed when the things he'd planned weren't able to be used throughout the whole issue, mind you its difficult to tell with him.
I take it the auditions for BB8 are still going as planned although no advertising.

Well if she hadn't said those things in the first place, C4 would have had nothing to "edit in the wrong way". D'oh!

True about PE ; but it does raise the question, why was there no big public outcry over the that C4 documentary -- or do the professional oppressed or PC fanatics have double standards 
I can't wait for Viz -- I love your suggestion about Jade ^

It wouldn't be Private Eye unless they took the p*ss out of the situation
Shame the current copy Viz didn't come out this week, wonder what their take will be on it all? I can see them doing a story along the lines of "The Amazin adventures of Jade the racist pig"

The ads for the auditions are still airing! I think the auditions themselves end this week anyhow, which is about a month earlier than usual - so read into that what you will!

No it wouldn't. It would be much the same as what was seen by all on the live stream. They don't surrender tapes as a matter of course. They are, after all, their own property.
You know, I'm sure conspiracy theories are all very entertaining; but could we please give it a rest in this thread?

I can't believe all this is still going on so long after the show has finished.

Exactly - the public have long forgotten, if not forgiven, the trio involved - and Shilpa doesn't seem overly bothered by it!
And who is it benefiting getting the police involved. Yes, some nasty things were said, but is that a crime nowadays?
The issue was pretty much sorted between the girls before Jade left the house!
