Love the BOTS set. Very good looking, and the audience behind the camera is a great idea too. The behind the scenes mention is a neat idea too, shame that doesn't actually happen on the show, since there are a lot of BTS elements that could be shown in VTs.

[Jarrod]

Thank you!

I love the BBCAN-esque doors in the BOTS studio. Also; the overall look and format you've given for it is amazing. Having the audience behind and/or around the cameras makes it more like the Big Brother Canada Side Show.

[Jarrod]

Thank you!

Big Brother: Unlocked is a new weekly show hosted by Emma Willis. The show will air on Sunday evenings at 10pm after the main highlights show. Big Brother: Unlocked looks at the latest news from the House, but it goes much more in-depth with psychological analysis and expert opinions on the Housemates.

One of the key parts of Big Brother: Unlocked will be the live nominations reveal on who will face eviction from the Big Brother House. The nominations reveal will then be discussed in detail with the experts.

Studio:
Big Brother: Unlocked will use the BOTS studio with colour changes. The panel will be removed and the space used for Emma to present.

I mentioned that this project would have a large focus on the format of Big Brother and incorporate more elements from Orwell's 1984.

Overview
Big Brother will invite the Housemates into his brand new luxuriously designed House, where they will instantly be fooled into the plush surroundings, unknowingly entering the land of dystopia. 14 Housemates will enter the Big Brother House for 11 weeks, competing to become the winner and the last remaining Housemate, bagging the Ł150,000 prize. They will live in confinement with no contact to the outside world. The Housemates will take part in weekly shopping tasks, and a revised nominations/eviction process.

The Theme
In dedication to the original idea of Big Brother, the new series will be subtitled Big Brother: 1984. Big Brother: 1984 will take ideas from George Orwell's original novel 1984 and make them fit for Big Brother's new regime. The Big Brother House has been designed to fool the Housemates into total comfort, while the biggest twists, turns and shocks lie just behind a few doors.

Weekly Tasks
The weekly shopping task will take place on Monday and Tuesday. Housemates have the chance to win a luxury shopping budget of Ł500 for the week - if they pass the task. If they fail the task, they will have just Ł100. All Housemates will take part, or face punishment.

Nominations:
The Housemates will be required to nominate every Sunday in the Diary Room. They will nominate two Housemates giving full and honest reasons for their nominations. Following the nominations, Big Brother will reveal who is facing eviction and will also reveal reasons why the Housemate is nominated.

On the screen board near the kitchen, each Housemate will be given a screen and the people they nominated displayed on their screen. The reasons will not be linked to the Housemates. The Housemates are not permitted to discuss who may have nominated them or why, merely look at the reasons.

Eviction:
Housemates will face Friday Evictions, however this time they will be done a little differently.

The Housemate will be evicted on Friday nights, but the other Housemates will be unaware of their eviction until it has taken place. Big Brother will evict the Housemate through the means of the Eviction Room. The Eviction Room is a new area of the House where all Housemates will gather on Friday. The result will be announced to the group who will all be in a separate pods. The pods will be soundproof and the Housemates will not be able to see who has been evicted. The Evicted Housemate will leave without being able to say goodbye.

Once the Housemate has left the house, all trace of that Housemate will be removed from the others. Their picture removed from their lightbox, their bed will be removed, their belongings all gone and any trace of them removed. The Housemates will not discover who was evicted until they leave the eviction room and realize who has gone from the nominated Housemates.

The Nomination Area
To make the regime even harder, Big Brother will not be letting the nominated Housemates have an easy time. Once the Housemates have nominated, the four Housemates with the most nominations will be forced to live in the nominations area. This is a single area in the House with stretcher beds, one sofa and sleeping bags. They are not permitted to use the main bedroom.

Their food will be delivered to them via the store room, and they will be unable to eat anything from the shopping list. They will be unable to use the main bathroom, and will instead be told to use the outside facilities that Big Brother has installed for them.

This will be explained further when the House is revealed

There is more to come but this is the basic idea.

[Morgan.]

It's brilliant already!

[Jarrod]

Thank you!

[JoshBB]

I like the concept!

[Jarrod]

Thank you!

[Will.]

The eviction idea is awesome!

[Amy Jade]

this is beautiful

It's a great concept (the nominations/evictions bit) but I'm not really sure how well it'd work in reality - to me it might seem a bit like the theme's overpowering the show itself, what with the whole removing traces of evicted housemates part etc. If that makes any sense at all.

But the idea and this project in general are really original. Looking forward to what's to come.

I understand that completely. Obviously if this were to be a real series plan, I doubt they would use all of the ideas. It would overpower it, but it wouldn't happen outside the House. It would all obviously be to mess with the Housemates' minds and remind them that Big Brother is the one in control.

I'll upload a house plan later on.

House Layout

The Big Brother House has been redesigned ahead of the Orwell themed series that the Housemates will face. As previously stated, the Housemates will be fooled into false luxury. The Big Brother House has two floors this year.

On the first floor is the entrance corridor, the bedroom, the bathroom and a seating area on the balcony. On the ground floor is the rest of the House.

Big Brother House: Exterior Stage

As I'm using the same House template as my last House, I have decided to keep the exterior similar. The iconic eye stage remains in place with the large catwalk leading down to an eye shaped podium. The main change this time is that the stairs have returned instead of the ground entrance in my last House. Obviously, it has all been themed around the new orange eye.

There is again an outside interview area with screens and a sofa, but this area can also be used for extra presenting space.

Love the eviction pod idea and can't wait to see the eviction room!

[Jarrod]

Thank you! I'll start posting the House very soon.

Big Brother House: The Stairs

As Housemates enter the new Big Brother House they will walk through the main double doors, down a small corridor and entering through the black and white doors. They will find themselves standing on the balcony to the House. They will walk down the wooden spiral staircase into the House where they will find surprises lurking behind corners..

[Josiah.]

Ooh, I like it.

[Jarrod]

Thank you!

[Sam:)]

The exteriors really good, Although im not too sure about the sofa area on the left.

The stairs are amazing
