[Me. I Am Salman]

Omg :amazed:

[armand.kay]

omg yass! :amazed:

[*mazedsalv**]

The interactive house tour is class!

[JohnnyBB]

looks like they'll be useing wood graphics this year!

[Headie]

Why only 10 housemate slots???

[*mazedsalv**]

OK, I want a lot of the items in that house. I love those unisex gowns in the bedroom and the multicoloured pouffe.

[@bbuk_fans]

looks like they'll be useing wood graphics this year!

Looks like it.

I know it's a silly detail but I hope the sound effects when the time comes up eg "8.32pm" etc is like a tv static sound, that would be cool.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Amazing!!!

[*mazedsalv**]

You can see the inside of the treehouse/shed! Oh my God, it looks even better when you have a proper view of it!

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Proper clever.

You can click on the items to shop online lol.

[@bbuk_fans]

This interactive house map is AMAZING.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Still to much pink though.

Looks less eco.

[Gstar]

All that's left to await is the clock appearing sound and most importantly the housemates :cheer2:

[Black Dagger]

Loving the map, those dressing gowns are a bit expensive though, I wanted one.

[Sawyer]

They've dressed it a lot more than the official pics just to advertise stuff. I won't be that busy on TV.

[Headie]

OMG, on the entrance part, if you look directly down (at the floor) the eye logo is clearly printed on the rug before the stairs :love:

EDIT: NVM, it does that on all the shots :joker:

[Jordan.]

This just made me love the house. That garden :love:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Surely they can see over the fence on those stairs to the treehouse?

[JohnnyBB]

Why only 10 housemate slots???

must be a couple more gong in on friday then.

[armand.kay]

I love the whole unfinished look! :love:

[MusicMan]

The house looks incredible :amazed: I love the little seating area by the entrance!

[Me. I Am Salman]

Guessing the entrance doors do not directly lead to the house?

[Samm]

House looks Evan better love it :amazed: and Hmmm where is there entrance

[DigitalSid]

Direct link, since C5 insist on using (address bar non-effecting) frames:

http://bb3.channel5.com/c5/house/

Doesn't work for me though, get a fatal loading I/O error.

EDIT - Got it, was my adblock messing it up.

[jackc1806]

That is great! We still better get a house tour, this better not be a compromise :( ... But OMG, Very have a BB collection on their website, just click on Directory

[RichardG]

I love the top of the entrance staircase. Looks like the housemates won't be able to see the outside when people get evicted. Also really love the doors all over the walls :love: and the treehouse :love: and pretty much everything. Amazing.

[armand.kay]

oh and they're aloud to sit upstairs now :suspect:

[Loukas]

oh and they're aloud to sit upstairs now :suspect:

i was literally about to say that, in previous years they were not aloud to go upstairs.. hmmm

[armand.kay]

D you think there is anything behind one one of the doors upstairs :o

[armand.kay]

The layout has changed so much more than I thought :amazed:

[Jack_]

This is amazing, I used to love these on C4 :amazed: I actually really like this house now, and the main area looks far better than it does in the pics

Not keen on the sofas though, they should opt for some sort of round/u-shaped one like BB6, 10 or 11. And I really don't like the sofa in the treehouse but I guess there's not much space up there for anything else.

Shame the Diary Room isn't upstairs as was rumoured but it's cool they can sit up there, hopefully they'll be some bitching :amazed:

For anyone asking the main double doors to enter the house at the top of the stairs are on the bit that has door wallpaper, not real life doors. You'll spot it at the top of the stairs opposite the chairs if you look close enough.

I also really love the bedroom and that window looking out is amazing :love:

The only thing left to know is what that door next to the bedroom leads to, though I'm guessing it's a toilet.

[lostalex]

I think it looks more BBUS the decorations this year. Didn't BBUS also do the whole bicycle thing when they did the "going green" theme?

[JohnnyBB]

oh and they're aloud to sit upstairs now :suspect:

noooooo, there just useing that space to flog stuff and the suitcases too, oh and the sofas have changed to flog more very.co.uk stuff.

[DigitalSid]

They've dressed it a lot more than the official pics just to advertise stuff. I won't be that busy on TV.

They're not advertising stuff, they're crediting the suppliers for the bits of the house / it's furniture they provided for nothing for said credit, all that's pictured will be in there somewhere, though probably laid out less prominently (the suitcases won't be left lying around like that) and possibly in smaller amounts.

[g17m]

this is great but seriously better not be a replacement for a house tour

[Loukas]

The only thing left to know is what that door next to the bedroom leads to, though I'm guessing it's a toilet.

either that or the store room?

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I love the top of the entrance staircase. Looks like the housemates won't be able to see the outside when people get evicted. Also really love the doors all over the walls :love: and the treehouse :love: and pretty much everything. Amazing.

Those chairs probably wont stay at the top of the stairs its just for advertising purposes and the housemates can still see when the housemates get evicted the doors in the same place even though its covered in clever wallpaper lol.

[Jack_]

either that or the store room?

Now we know the Diary Room is under the stairs rather than above it, the store room will be one of the two blue doors under the stairs.

[g17m]

this better not be a cheapo solution to a house tour

[JohnnyBB]

this better not be a cheapo solution to a house tour

its not its just to flog the sponsors stuff.

[Jack_]

I like how some of the doors act as mirrors for camera runs, that's a nice touch.

Also can't see a plasma anywhere near the seating area? I know there's a bank of TV's but they're not exactly facing the sofas.

And there probably is a pool/hot tub under that thing in the garden although what does everyone think, does it look big enough to be a pool or small enough for a hot tub? It looked tiny in the pics but looks a bit bigger here. I'd prefer a pool.

[daniel-lewis-1985]

They're not advertising stuff, they're crediting the suppliers for the bits of the house / it's furniture they provided for nothing for said credit, all that's pictured will be in there somewhere.

Erm they are advertising stuff.

[DigitalSid]

noooooo, there just useing that space to flog stuff and the suitcases too, oh and the sofas have changed to flog more very.co.uk stuff.

Presumably yeah (though I've never understood that, fair enough on eviction nights but I can't see a reason for it other nights as long as the house is properly guarded and secured off does it matter how close to the door they are?), though that stuff will be in there somewhere, they've just made it more prominent (and possibly increased the amount slightly to that end).

[Headie]

Where's the TV Screen? (not the little TV's, which I presume will have HM's faces on them) How are they gonna show clips of stuff (i.e. family nominations, task reveals (like they did with Speidi's fake walk-out return) etc.)

[jackc1806]

[Headie]

At the top where the HMs profiles will be, it currently has "HM 1" etc. but there are only 10? Thought 16 were going in?

[jackc1806]

I think they always put 10 placeholders before launch

[DigitalSid]

Erm they are advertising stuff.

It's just an interactive version of their supplier list, it's not advertising in the traditional sense, they're not being paid for it, just receiving the items to use in the house for free in return (though they'd get that supplier list or not, because the bulk of generated sales from the items being in the house will be from viewers recoginising them in shop, not reading about them on the site).

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Its advertising.

Not saying that's a bad thing I think its quite cool...In fact I want one of those cushions.

Your comments seem to be lost in translation recently.

It's no more advertising than listing the actors name at the end of a drama is and it's not recognised as such hence why they can have an exclusive product placement deal with Very, yet still have this. The suppliers supply the furniture for free for the television exposure and the (not obliged) credit on the show's site. You can call or see it as advertising, my point is that they're not just placed in there to promote them, they're in the house anyway, they've just made them more prominent.

[armand.kay]

Urgh I was hoping housemates could go up there and scheme..

I'm glad there's quit a few places for them to sit and bitch, now they wont have to all cram in the toilets to bitch about Lauren.

[Vanessa]

Omg! That's amazing! I'm so excited now. But i still can't see the pool. :hugesmile:

[JohnnyBB]

ive found the plasma screen!

The red door at the top of the stairs looks like a proper door.

Very.co.uk even have a section on their website where you can buy stuff from the BB house.

I am pretty sure not all this stuff will be used its just for people to shop hence the price tags and links to the website to purchase.

I'll put money on it (pardon the pun) that those chairs at the top of the stairs (ooh that rhymed) will not be there and are purely to promote Very.co.uk website.

[Vanessa]

I can't see the shower either. :suspect:

No the main door has wall paper on it, and a black bonder.

What kind of flop circle

[Jack_]

No the main door has wall paper on it, and a black bonder.

He means that that red door could lead to a secret room.

It would be amazing if it did and there was like some stairs going to down to a massive room/HND style house :amazed:

[Josy]

Guessing the entrance doors do not directly lead to the house?

I'm thinking this whole bit is possibly a sliding door for them to enter?

http://i44.tinypic.com/2ql5ttz.jpg

Yeah that's what I mean.

[JohnnyBB]

look to the left hand corner of the circle there a slight dark color shift its the edge of the plasma i think.

[Jack_]

It'd be cool if there's a luxury bathroom hidden behind one of the beds in the bedroom and a load of books. Like the prison task in BB7, so if they move all the books they can crawl through or something :amazed: but it has to remain a secret to those who find it

I'm thinking this whole bit is possibly a sliding door for them to enter?

http://i44.tinypic.com/2ql5ttz.jpg

Yep, that's the entrance door. You can see the parting down the middle.

[RichardG]

Those chairs probably wont stay at the top of the stairs its just for advertising purposes and the housemates can still see when the housemates get evicted the doors in the same place even though its covered in clever wallpaper lol.

I know :laugh: didn't see the normal sliding doors when I posted that and assumed the pink/red door on the side would be the entrance since it looked more prominent than the others.

[Headie]

I see a cushion?

I was just about to say this :joker:

Maybe he was referring to that blurry slender-man in the mirror :joker:

[ThisIsNickkk]

This has made me love the house even more than I already did!!

I was unsure about the bedroom in the official shots, but I kinda like it now. The side of the bedroom where the windows are is much better though, I like the way it's really bright on that side.

The garden is amazing this year, and the snug is very... snug. Nice enough for some bitching in there where nobody can hear them.

I'd quite like the seats to stay at the top of the stairs...

The design of the house really has changed considerably this year. The virtual tour lets you appreciate the design of the house more... the press pics make the house look pretty big, but on the website it doesn't really seem huge in the sense that the living area (kitchen/sitting area/dining area) is all linear,

[Vanessa]

The House is amazing! And it looks like there are secret rooms behind some of those doors! :dance:

[daniel-lewis-1985]

I think that red door at the top of the stairs leads somewhere seeing as the whole house has has been shifted to the left (bar the bedroom) it gives room for a house next door with a camera run inbetween.

Would be a bad place though seeing as it would be very close to the main bedroom.

[Drew.]

this house tour is epic

[Novo]

jesus christ all these ****ing doors

[Josy]

jesus christ all these ****ing doors

:joker:

[ThisIsNickkk]

We know that some of the doors will lead somewhere, pretty safe to say those with the mirrors on are just camera runs. But I've only really spotted one door that looks real, but I got the impression a few are real.

The red door is definitely real with the looks of things and it seems the entrance looks very narrow this year, more narrow than it usually is, no?

[Headie]

The bedroom just because my favourite room of the house :love: I wasn't so sure from the pictures, but this interactive tour has made me love it.

I definitely think the red door at the top of the stairs will lead to a secret room.

[Josiah.]

I just saw 2 doors and 2 eye shape lights below the stairs. That means 1 might lead to the store room and the other might lead to the Diary Room. I also saw that the house (possibly excluding the bedroom) has wood flooring.

[Corkie]

What a great house. Never been more excited by the house since I was an obsessed young fan. Bravo!

[DigitalSid]

Yes, as seen on TV, not in an app on the BB site that only a few hundred of the show's viewers will have seen :laugh:. If it's on that section of their site, it'll be in the house somewhere (unless those in change of designing / dressing it remove or swap it for cosmetic reasons).

[Drew.]

those beds don't look too comfortable.. i'd set up a bed in the tree house

[daniel-lewis-1985]

Fact.

[arista]

Nothing Wrong with Wood
but hell of a Fire Risk.

[Josy]

There doesnt look to be a lot of storage space in the bedroom for clothes/toiletries etc.

Unless I just can't see them, I only see a couple of hanging rails and the small bedside cabinet things...

[DigitalSid]

Its advertising.

Fact.

Saying fact after something doesn't make it one :laugh:, advertising or not (as I said it could be seen as such but it isn't), those products haven't been put in there just to promote in the app, it's to credit and yes "advertise" the goods used, which were given *for use in the house* free. That mini site you mentioned (and linked in the app) is for customers to buy stuff they've seen in the Big Brother house on TV, not on an online app, and at the top of page 5 are the chairs by the entrance:

Incredible. I've said it before, I'll say it again.. the wood cabin feel to it is brilliant.

This is the best house BB has ever had

[Vanessa]

Let's hope they don't set fire on it by accident. :eek:

[Jake.]

Just amazing, makes me love it even more

[Marcus.]

it very lush

[Josy]

Incredible. I've said it before, I'll say it again.. the wood cabin feel to it is brilliant.

i wonder if any of the suitcases in the wall will be used for storage.. but yeah there doesnt seem to be anywhere for clothes

[armand.kay]

The mattresses don't look too heavy so if I didn't like the other housemates I would drag mine up to the tree house ans sleep there.

[Drew.]

Without a doubt my favourtie house since BB9

[DigitalSid]

Without a doubt my favourtie house since BB9

It craps all over BB9 (and BB8, but that goes without saying, worst house yet).

[lukee]

dont get the big deal with them sitting at the top it gives another area

[Marc]

I don't think the treehouse is that good.. it's the only downfall of the house imo but perhaps I'll come around to liking it.

This would have fit perfectly into this house

Yeah true, I was trying to think of the BB9 house lol

[g17m]

It's impressive how this house has completely sh*t all over all the channel 5 houses, and most, if not all of the channel 4 houses, and they still haven't advertised properly!

It's a bit small, not sure why they'd all cram in there with so little seating and walking space when they've got a lounge and seats in the garden (knowing BB hms, to bitch :laugh:), but it's an additional area I suppose, and takes up less valuable space than the nest above did (none assuming the bottom level is accessible and functions as something else).

ew i actually hate the kitchen...
The outdoors is lovely though! liked it even more when there wasnt so much stuff from very.uk everywhere

[Donovan.]

This is amazing, I used to love these on C4 :amazed: I actually really like this house now, and the main area looks far better than it does in the pics

Not keen on the sofas though, they should opt for some sort of round/u-shaped one like BB6, 10 or 11. And I really don't like the sofa in the treehouse but I guess there's not much space up there for anything else.

It's the toilet from last year's bedroom.

[Vicky.]

The c5 site crashed my laptop :(

Think I need a new one if it cant even handle that :bored:

[andy191]

It's the toilet from last year's bedroom.

It's strange seeing that, then realising where everything was last year. Through the door next to it, to the bedroom is that little corridoor from last year that went to that bedroom.

[Donovan.]

Yeah, the house is so unrecognizable that you wouldn't think about all the little nooks and walls that they kept. They did a great job of swapping and reusing and adding to the house.

[jyunga]

Dunno if anyone brought this up but it's a bit odd there are chairs at the top of the entrance. Almost as if they'll have a reason to be up there a lot.

Also, I wonder if all those suitcases, books and tv will play a big role in the show. Like secret **** hidden in the suitcases or random tvs coming on during tasks for people.

[Dash Darington]

I'm confident the seats at the top of the stairs will stay. A good place for secrets.

There's space in the building's layout for a secret room beyond those doors at the top of the stairs, as everyone suspects.

There's two 4-drawer dressers in the bedroom, both in the blue section. If you look closely, some of the suitcases appear to slide out on rollers like drawers with lids.

http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=2474&stc=1&d=1371005161

The black chest of drawers in the dining area labelled No.1-No.8 is interesting.

Well spotted, I never noticed that before, I was wondering about storage space in the bedroom.

[ThisIsNickkk]

Ah yes, I'd not noticed them when I was looking at the house pictures. They'll most likely act as storage then, which should be more than enough seeing as they don't take that much in with them.
