Ok so the stage is still there. They haven't pushed it back due to the fence and cars, cant see stands but s the space is still so small I think without them the crowd would look even smaller.

Im also assuming those are the screens still attached to the house seeing as the house it white underneath.

Cant really see much else but I was hoping that stage would have gone or atleast been changed to look like a studio.

I really just want a total revamp so it looks nothing like previous series. Its become stale and with a new presenter and new house they should also do the same outside.

Well isn't this exciting...

Honestly though we're approaching the middle of May already and this is all we have to go on? It's a joke. It doesn't even feel like we're getting a Big Brother this summer.

I reckon they will at least give use something this week

Lol, thought the same. Wasn't sure what I was even looking for.

So what we can figure out from this picture:

• The lighting tower next to the stage is still intact
• The stage remains
• The compound is still fenced off from the rest of Elstree Studios
• They are building something to the right of the picture?

[Patrick]

I reckon they will at least give use something this week

If the only news we get this week is 'Porn twins set to enter house.' or 'Rylan is deffo hosting BOTS xx' then they can do one.

It's out of hand now - they can either give us the official eye this week, or shove their series where the sun doesn't shine.

Nothing's changed at all apart from the fact they re-enforced the walls ages ago which why it's now black.

But the led screens are black when they arnt in use im sure that's what it is.

Oh I'm talking about the side of the house. The screens aren't even in place yet.

If the screens arnt even in place on the front of the house how do you explain the black panels?

The house is white.

Those are defo the screens just look closer

The screens are taken down after the show. They aren't screens the house is now black.

[Jarrod]

Isn't the black thing just part of the stand which is like near the tower thing Brian used to use?...

[Patrick]

Who actually cares anymore though?

[Jarrod]

Well obviously us or we wouldn't posting would we.

Look how much space the stage takes up.

I know they have lost a lot of the outside space but Look at the difference in size because of the new set up.

I know its a smaller space but the fact they cram all these stands, stage and having a raised walkway makes it look even smaller..

That stage needs to go. I would actually like to see the return of the cars, they could drive up past the George Lucas stage and a big gate put in to the BB compound where they exit the cars and enter the baying crowd and ground level walkway to the house.

Then have a more compact studio instead of the stage.

The Stage is part of the contracted things they asked to keep so it can't go. They can't return the cars because the entire place is fenced off now and Elstree wouldn't really let them do that any more.

As for the audience, without the stands, you'd actually get a smaller audience than with the stands. Technically a ground level entrance isn't possible. BB5 was raised a little.


They could actually move the staging back a little and get rid of that maze of a ramp to get off the stage and replace it with steps or a shorter ramp, then moving the stage back would give a bit of extra room for an audience...

Hence the reason I mentioned to install a large gate, I think it would be epic.

The ground space isn't actually that different its just taken up with all over the top fixtures and fittings.

Why do they have to keep that massive stage?

It was part of their planning permissions unfortunately, So they'll keep it. Yeah the ground space is almost the same, the stands do take up a lot of space however they do actually increase the audience capacity as much as we despise them.

When I say ground level entrance to the house I mean the walkway the housemates walk through the crowd towards the stairs.

Having everything so high up makes it look small I think without the stands it would pretty much look the same as previous years seeing as it has quite the same floor space.

It would work but there was something about the ground entrance I really didn't like.

Yeah, the ramp into the eye makes the whole place seem smaller than it is. I think they'd have a bit more space if they removed the spiral stairs because they actually don't use half of the floor I noticed during an eviction

[Patrick]

No I mean the picture hardly reveals anything - most people don't care anymore either. We've came to terms with the fact Channel 5 aren't doing anything unique, it's just going to be the same **** as always.

No point discussing it or contemplating a different outcome.

[Jordan.]

Oh nice the house is still standing, this makes me excited.

Unless the standing stretches floor to roof and covers both the front and the full right side of the house, I'm pretty sure the house is now black:

I remember Rhian and Jasmine leaving the House for that shopping dash and the wall was black.

Ahh, is that the stands or is the wall black underneath the screens too? Wouldn't mind them painting it black.

Dated 8.2.12 on the planning application renewal.

The portacabins were installed in 2011 so it can't be earlier than that.
