Will 12 become 10?

With mere hours to go and speculation of tantrums and demands already in the press we are all asking the same questions; How many monsters will there really be? Did housemates really storm out after being told that woollen monsters would have to take HOT baths? Will there really be a monster-eating monster in the house? (Will he bite off more than he can chew?) Who can actually control these things? And, surely, aren't monsters only people too?
