Your Opinions on the BB13 House

[Patrick]

So now that the majority of us have seen the house pictures, what do we think?

I know there's another thread - but it's huge and full of random links and the pictures are scattered about everywhere. So post opinions here, on the layout, theme, rooms etc etc

I'm still in shock at how amazing it looks and how much they've made it look different. I hate how they keep using landscape sort of walls though like last year we had the fake stones, now we have the Las Vegas skyline thing in the garden - but whatever, it just looks fantastic. The Bathroom isn't that good though.

And the fact they've moved the bedroom. :amazed: BB9 :love:
The Garden pisses all over last year's, it's just brilliant I'm just worried that it'll look horrible on TV.

[Sawyer]

Edit: we must of made these threads at the same time. I love it! Huge improvement!

[Marcus.]

i love it

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

Think its so much better than last year, loving the garden & the bedroom, not to sure about the living room at the moment.

[Jack_]

I really like it, but I'm still annoyed they haven't really changed the layout and structure, just moved a few of the rooms around and moved a few walls.

Knew Marcus wasn't to be trusted. And the fact the Diary Room is still in the same place for now the 5th (main) series in a row is just ridiculous.

[Marsh.]

I'm in the middle. Better than last years with some nice areas and nice bits of design (inside dining table). But overall it's still a tacky vibe that hasn't been shifted since BB9 with the coloured lights and landscapes on the walls.

[Tony1111]

Don't love or hate it. I like the living area and garden. Everything else is a bit meh to be honest. :p

[Flamingjoe]

I think it's ok, but it's miles better than last year's house.

[Patrick]

The Diary Room really does need switched, I don't see where the logic is in keeping it there - and the stairs are annoying now too the way they're the same position - I liked the hall, but I guess it's good that they changed it from spiral staircase to a straight one.

I'm a little confused on this room though:

The big main part in the middle - nearest to the garden windows, what on earth is that?

[King Gizzard]

Cheap, tacky, crap, etc. Looks like it's a house for 2003 or something.

The dining table. There's a picture of it tweeted somewhere, with two long benches either side of it instead of chairs.

Dinning table Patrick.

[armand.kay]

I love how they made the stairs HeavenProof :joker:

2003 was one of the greatest houses of all time..

[Braden]

I like it, it could've gone very tacky and tasteless, but they've done well. It looks simplistic but professional, and I really like the theme of 'Las Vegas'. I would've liked it if they went with it a little bit more, but it's certainly an improvement on the other houses C5 have made.

[Callum]

Not the best house ever but I really like it. I think they've done a good job all things considered. Although I hate that the diary room is yet again underneath the stairs and I don't like that the staircase leads straight into the house again, I think there should be a vestibule or a door blocking the staircase from the housemates.

Here Patrick- another dining table-

I'm not saying it looks like the 2003, it just looks seriously outdated

[Patrick]

Really? I dunno - the bathroom looks outdated, It depends. It looks really modern in some aspects.
The bedroom just reminds me of BB9 though.

Nice!

God the Las Vegas theme :lovedup:

[thesheriff443]

its a great house i did not know we had so many interior designers on this forum
with i dont like this i dont like that
its just a house get over it its the housemates that make big brother along with the tasks not the house.

[Drew.]

i love it :) im glad they have a seperate room for the kitchen too and also the fact the shower now has fully see through glass !

[armand.kay]

C5 need to stop going over the top with the lights but other that that its fabulous.

[Joe.]

My review-

for sure this house beats all the houses since BB9- however I really dislike the whole bright lights feel to it- makes it look like a studio.

The garden is amazing- really nice apart from the las vegas backdrop- the pool and jacuzzi and everything are lush.

FINALLY the bedroom is in a different place [first time since BB9 the bedroom's been placed elsewhere]- I love having the bedroom in a different part of the house it's fantastic- yeah the bathroom's nice too being elsewhere.

The kitchen we haven't see much of but looks okay.

So we have the whole space where the bedroom used to be for free use? What will that be used for?

Glad they changed the staircase however wtaf don't they put a wall there or something? I dislike the open plan staircase thing a lot and the diary room corridor is pointless to. I swear if they keep that same padeed diary room backdrop....

This series looks promising so far- all we need is one killer twist to make the series it's own.

[Marsh.]

Apologies. I wasn't under the impression you had to be a professional in a specific industry to have an opinion on it.

People have opinions. Deal with it.

The house sets out the whole mood for the series and if you really dislike the house it can be difficult to put up with it all summer!

[thesheriff443]

there is nothing to deal with!
the house has cost thousands to revamp while most of the people bitching sit in their tiny bedrooms
if you dont like it dont watch it.

Just leave. You clearly have no idea how a Big Brother forum works.

[Marcus.]

the poll is going to be an landslide

[Petershaw1984]

Really like this house . Think it's the best one since bb7/bb9 the garden looks fantastic as does the bedroom

[Niall]

Its pretty, but the fact that the layout has been the same for three seasons in a row is really annoying. I hate the diary room being under the stairs so much. http://agardenoftears.com/edit/data/emoticons/twitch.gif

The layout is different this year LOL. Well, to some extent.

The Bathroom and Bedroom have been moved abit, better than nothing I guess.

What relevance is this statement?
Saying what we like/dislike about the house has got nothing to do with watching it or not.

i was watching big brother when you where in nappies
and no i wont leave

[Marsh.]

Just a blinded fanboy who can't cope with criticisms. You can be a fan of something and still have opinions on it and not treat it like it's perfect.

[Niall]

But thats two rooms. The living room, kitchen, and garden are near enough the same shape as they were in 2010. Its silly. :bored:

[Vanessa]

:joker: Seriously. I love this House! It's gorgeous! And the pool is so big! :banana:

[Jack_]

I'd even go as far back as to say the whole layout hasn't really changed much since BB8, at least the inside part of the house anyway.

It's BB8 that started this long, narrow shape of the main area with various rooms coming off of the sides. Before that we had houses like BB6 and BB7 where the front door was in a random place, and the shape of the main area varied each year. It's too bog-standard for me nowadays.

[Shaun]

It's alright. Have never had it really affect my judgment of a series though.

[DigitalSid]

Love It if they keep the diary room door the colour it is in the press launch pics rather than the horrible one they've got it in the house pics. Though I don't like the wall around the door either.

[Marsh.]

:conf: It's the same colour.

[Scotty07]

Not impressed and agree with everyone who thinks they have an obsession with neon lighting.:sleep: Neon lights around mirrors, neon lights around the toilet, neon lights around the kitchen sink, neon lights around the pool:shrug::sleep: I have nothing against neon lights, but I really don't understand why they feel it is a must to have them every bleeding series now. Too much like just another cosy little trendy nightclub.:bored:

It's the same shape that really bothers most though, even the shape of the garden looks the same yet again and that bleeding pool.:mad:. Hope it is just the pictures and it will look much different when I see it live though. Entertaining housemates are more important obviously, but I do miss the days when I got excited at seeing a house that looked very unique for it's series like BB5/BB6/BB9.:lovedup:

[Maia]

It's beautiful :love:

[Marc]

I likey!!

[Vanessa]

Has anyone seen the diary room? I can't find the pics! :bawling:

Yeah but it's not a normal green it's a horrible bluey green that looks really tacky especially surrounded by that wall.

[Marsh.]

I agree. looking at pictures you could be forgiven for thinking that 5, 6 and 9 houses were in separate compounds. Nowadays, it's all very samey year on year. They need some designers who want to be a bit more imaginative with fresh ideas (both for the show and the house). But, given the fact the show is 12-13 years old I can forgive a little bit of recycling.

[NiallMcCarthy]

Is the bathroom wall supposed to look like rocks? :conf:
I love how the bedroom goes into the garden! :love:
I love the sofas and the dining area / kitchen.

I think the garden sofas look really tacky:nono:

[Patrick]

http://desmond.yfrog.com/Himg876/scaled.php?tn=0&server=876&filename=4roxjz.jpg&xsize=640&ysize=640

OH FOR ****** SAKE.

THAT SAME WALL AGAIN? LIKE REALLY? REALLY? WHY EVEN!?
omg.

[rk3388]

worse than last year *

[JohnnyBB]

Yeah but it's not a normal green it's a horrible bluey green that looks really tacky especially surrounded by that wall.

yeah thats true id have liked abit off a V-Shaped glass wall to cut off the stairs,
or a diary room entry like BB8 that would have been nice.

[Marsh.]

OH FOR ****** SAKE.

THAT SAME WALL AGAIN? LIKE REALLY? REALLY? WHY EVEN!?
omg.

You just noticed? Lol. I was waiting for an outburst.

[Scotty07]

It can't be that same diary room wall surely?:joker: It must be unfinished, that is just too ridiculous.:joker:

Hopefully without the coloured lights this time, or if they do light them up, they should light them up one colour like BB7 or all the colours of the eye.

[Jordan.]

I like it but I was expecting a bigger change tbh, it still feels like the CBB/BB12 houses to me.

[Conor]

Does anyone else get a real BB Italy vibe from this house? Especially the garden and kitchen/living areas.

[BBDodge]

Love or hate doesn't give you enough options. I like most of it but don't love it.

[Jake.]

Love it, one of my favourites

[Niamh.]

Love it :amazed: Especially the bedroom, it's amazing

[Beastie]

It's lush! <3

[Sam:)]

Looks really nice, but I seriously hate the print walls in the garden! Does C5 not realise how **** it looks on TV

[Roy Mars III]

The backyard is brilliant, not a fan of the rest though

[Me. I Am Salman]

I like the garden but tbh they could have shaked the rest of the house up more.
