What does everyone think of this years house layout?

Its cool, Better then last years i think

I think it has resulted in the housemates bitching so much. Being able to observe everyone means they all see what is going on and make wild guesses to the things they can't hear.

I preferred the house last year.

yeh so did i!

The horrible colour scheme does my head in, it's all garish primary colours. And those yellow sofas are gross. But then BB wanted a pretty unwelcoming environment to stimulate more of the arguing which definately seems to have worked!

i actually quite liked it.

I agree. I don't like the fact that they have to go outside to get to the living room either!

Not sure that I am that keen on the living room being seperate from the rest of the house. I feel that it has caused a lot of the division in the house by them having the space to have 2 camps so to speak

i like it but i prefer last year's!

i prefer when the housemates can walk to the door with the housemate when they are being evicted!

and not walk all through the house?

I don't like having two main areas of the house and people that get evicted are not seen off.

Yeah i liked it better when the housemates took the evicted housemate to the door! At first i didnt like that the living seperate from the rest of the house but i do now! I also like the loft and the naughty step! Oh yeah i like the dirary room chair too! x

the naughty step is cool but they dont use it alot!

I do like the naughty step as well but I dont think that BB have used this to its full potential. They could have had so much more fun with this step couldnt they

i hate it on eviction nights they all just stay in the living room and dont walk the housemate too the door

I know Corkie, Lasts year was better, Altho i put this years earlier, I have changed my mind. Thats allowed isnt it?

The best ever bb huose was in 2003, i fought the layout was good

But Davina said at the start last year that the colour scheme, the size of the garden, the reduced interior space, etc. had all been introduced to cause as much conflict as possible. At least this year they've been transparent about their intentions.

And I don't like what they have done to the house. I don't care if the producers think it was a good idea, I don't think it was. I enjoyed last years show much more than this years and haven't like all the conflict the house design has generated.

In the league of the best big brothers series so far this one comes in at number 5.... just in front of Big Brother 4.

Well, I think that the hm's make the show. And last year was a pretty poor selection, even though the show itself was a good one.

I disagree about last years housemates not being good I think they were more entertaining than this years lot. As not to distract from this thread I will start a poll about which housemates are/were best.

How jolly spiffing.

I would've thought that the large windows and the clear, unobstructed views, etc. would give a feeling of comfort, as opposed to the reduced living space and garish colours of the BB5 house.

One does like to keep the threads on topic you know.

The poll can be found here..... [POLL]

I like the screen between bedroom and kitchen so people can see through it. However id like to see maybe a few tables instead of one big dining table just to see who sits with who and if they select certain seats etc.
