[alfiegreen]

Alex Sibley posted this on his Facebook. The photo shows the BB1 CHAIR and not the bb10 chair?? this is interesting...

[2k9david2k10]

some wer on here it did say the something like out with the new in with the old so iam guessing this ?

[Jack_]

Maybe all of the chairs feature in the ad?

[eye sea]

Dat's bloody stoopid. Because BB lives outside Channel 4. Absolute nutcases.

i wish they woud bury that twat whos sat on it

[Patrick]

Oh FFS the BB1 Chair?

I cant belive they still have this, so hopefully then they do burry the other chairs I mean they could film 10 diffrent Ads right?

And then have the same scenes up but they all have 10 diffrent endings and these 10 diffrent adverts play every day.

Would be good.

they stole that chair from mcdonalds anyway

[Jordan.]

Wth! the boringest chair ever people will see the advert and wonder why they are burying a random chair they could have done a more iconic one

Thaat'd be quite hard with the BB5,6,7 and 9 ones :P probably others!

Uh how would it be hard?

BB6 Maybe yeah but, BB5, 7 and 9?

[Firewire]

Uh how would it be hard?

Because of the size of them...

[Matt]

Because of the size of them...

...and most of the recent ones have now been sold off.

[Alec]

...and most of the recent ones have now been sold off.

But they could make mock-ups?

[Joe.]

This. 9 would be way to big, so would 5 or 'the womb' as Davina called it. Oh and six without a doubt. Seven- maybe...

The only way they could pull it off with every chair would be to do it by computer or something, but make it looks real tho :)

they might still have copies though?

Just coz the chairs have been sold off its not a big deal to just recreate them

[Joe.]

But it'd cost money that could be spent on the series.

[Matt]

I doubt they'd go to the bother of spending thousands of pounds to have a chair custom-made so they can cover it in dirt for one day for an advert.

This.

Some of you are looking far too into this. They just wanted the symbolic buying of Big Brother by burying one of the most symbolic facets of the show. The chair from the first series made sense to be used because it's a rather ordinary looking chair so you can 'bury' BB without putting the focus on any one series.

:thumbs: Plus BB1 started it, so why not bury that chair to make it come full circle.

LOL :joker::joker:

[Sawyer]

Don't complain about the chair. It was the first one, so it makes sense. Plus, with the BB3, 5, 6, 7 and 9 chairs, they went to auction. So why use a random one from a random series? It wouldn't make sense.

Also, with the remaining chairs they haven't sold, they're all too big to bury, so it would look more realistic.

The Big Brother 1 chair was sold to Alan Davies. I remember that at the time. :blush:
