It sounds like a special editon of Big Brother, probably lasting a few weeks, instead of months. Australia and the UK have aired special celebrity editions of BB outside of summer, probably as stunt programming. I am putting all my marbles on the idea that this 'abbreviated', celebrity edition will air during the Olympics, possibly as a nightly event (think "I'm a Celebrity-Get Me Out of Here!"). And, back to Survivor, they have introduced contestants in the past at an early date before (1 and 1/2 months before the premiere of Survivor: Guatemala - The Maya Empire, for example), so the February 2 idea (I think OLN removed the premiere date?) may not happen at all. Celebrity Big Brother will take the reins during the Olympics, with Survivor: Panama - Exile Island to follow. My prediction...
