Sadly, they won't. It's cheap TV, and still gets the viewers. I read once that one good comedy episode can cost up to £1 million to produce (this may seem a lot, but when you take into account how many people can potentially get involved, not to mention hiring fees for equipment and the various licencing fees involved, it isn't a lot).
I don't know how much BB costs to produce, but once the hardware and the house is set up and the licence to Endemol (the original owners) paid, they only need to provide crew and presenters, and then put up some money for a prize, and the rest is profit.
I should think Xfactor costs even less..
