[Jarrod]

Sorry, it's there.

[Jack_]

Is it safe to look at these? I don't want to see the chair

[Samm]

Where is it :/

[Jarrod]

Yeah, I'm not posting the chair.

[jackc1806]

Not even started yet and it broke :joker:

Much better though, glad it's back

[Josy]

Yes Jack it's just a button..

Oh I wonder why it's back? maybe that pad thing was glitchy :shrug:

[Jack_]

wtf happened to the hand scanner? I was looking forward to that, it's only for one series

[armand.kay]

My voodoo worked.

[jackc1806]

The hand scanner was ugly

[Lostie!]

I liked the hand scanner idea, but I don't mind the eye button returning because I think it still fits well with the theme. Actually, it looks more fittting in this house especially.

[armand.kay]

Maybe the hand scanner was for something else.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

The hand scanner was ugly

This I didn't like it either

[Me. I Am Salman]

thank god :worship: idc even if it was for one series, this button always needs to be here.

[jackc1806]

We'll get the noise again when they press it :love:

[Tregard]

Hand Scanner was probably causing more trouble than it was worth.

[Josy]

I was actually looking forward to seeing the hand scanner being used.

[Drew.]

The DR button is in a completely different place too, looks like it is on the wooden walls at the back :rolleyes:

[Headie]

How do you even know this is the DR button? It could just be to open the store room, or even the little 'eye light' thing they usually have over doors that are controlled by BB... usually store room.

Like the green eye light to the right of the stairs above the suspected storeroom in this pic

I was looking forward to the hand scanner for this series only :/

Can y'all stop acting like the hand scanner was amazing or something

[Josy]

Can y'all stop acting like the hand scanner was amazing or something

Who said that?

Wanting to see how it worked isn't saying it's amazing..

[andy191]

The stairs look good, a lot less open than in the past

[Gypsy]

isnt this a cute pic guys!

Those stairs :lovedup:

Secret house Diary room.

[@bbuk_fans]

Hand scanner is upstairs - source bbspy

[Drew.]

"HMs press the button downstairs to alert BB that they want the Diary Room, and the scanner upstairs to open the door"

[Marsh.]

But it's not an actual hand scanner, I thought it was just for effect anyway. :confused:

[Marsh.]

So why was the scanner downstairs in the first place? :suspect:

[Jack_]

"HMs press the button downstairs to alert BB that they want the Diary Room, and the scanner upstairs to open the door"

That makes more sense then, a good compromise

Is Matt (bbspy) in the house?

[Me. I Am Salman]

don't click this jack :worry:

[Josy]

"HMs press the button downstairs to alert BB that they want the Diary Room, and the scanner upstairs to open the door"

Bit pointless no? they would normally just press the button downstairs and BB would open the door upstairs...

[Jamesy]

I imagine the 'scanner' (it's just a piece of plastic with LED lights behind) was meant to replace the eye button... then they thought it was a mistake to remove the eye button so brought that back, meaning the scanner had to go. They clearly didn't want to bin the hand scanner so though ***** it, lets have both!

Bit pointless though, will annoy housemates having to go through two things just to enter a room...

[Jack_]

don't click this jack :worry:

LOL thanks

I already did, noticed the walls that I hadn't seen before and closed it immediately

But how have they removed the scanner, when the scanner was on the greyish post downstairs, and the DR Bell is on a total different wall on the pic.

[Henry2014]

The bell could be mounted onto some textured plastic, like the wood, to fill the whole gap taken up by the scanner?? Wouldn't be the neatest correction, but could explain it, no?

Memba he told you.

Can't say how as I don't have a clue how they stick it all together although the grey post just looked like painted MDF to me with a square hole cut out for where the hand scanner was.

It's a TV studio so they can easily cut things out and move them. Things don't look as fixed as we think they are.

[jackc1806]

Think it's still in the post, but they've changed the grey on it

[Headie]

LOL thanks

If you've seen that pic then you've pretty much seen the DR, there's not much else to the chair tbh.

I only saw the colour (but then I knew the colours from the posts in the thread last night)

I've come this far now, unless I actually see it properly I may as well carry on LOL

[Me. I Am Salman]

Switch your avatars off Jack, unsurprisingly Gypsy has now put it as his avi.

[Jack_]

Don't worry, whenever I do this I turn off images, sigs and avatars as I know someone will do it :laugh:

[thediaryroomchair]

I am glad that they have retained the iconic eye button. It is synonymous with Big Brother. I also like the diary room this year. For me, it is the best yet.

[Me. I Am Salman]

I would advise you putting that member on ignore, it's a bit obvious what they're trying to do. (I'm not trying to bait before someone infracts me again)

[Jack_]

Done, thanks :spin2:

[Josy]

I'm sorry but I have to say this to you Jack as well as the others making a big deal of it...

We are a BB FORUM, There are many members on this forum that are BB fanatics and are extremely excited for the launch tomorrow. The DR Chair has been revealed since 12am by the producers, newspapers, fan sites etc so there is no way in hell you can even honestly expect people to have to accommodate one person because they don't want to see it, the same goes for if other members want to have the diary room chair as a sig, avatar etc then Jack will have to think of ways to avoid seeing them by himself, it's up to him.

If I see any members being insulted or targeted for this just because there's a slight chance Jack may see a spoiler then I'm handing out infractions for it.

[Samm]

ummm I'm confused, maybe there using both

474236898136031236

[Josy]

That's upstairs Sam, the hand scanner was moved to there and yeah they are using both

[Jack_]

Have all the fan sites been invited? So Matt and Jarrod are there? :suspect:

[Sawyer]

Personally I don't see the point - the 'scanner' serves no prupose. It clearly doesn't 'scan' you hand and even if it did there would be no point. It's just a button disguised to look like a scanner, and the fact they're using both now renders it useless and gimicky.

Don't get me wrong though, I'm glad the old one is back.

[Marsh.]

I find the whole house gimmicky to be honest.

I'll find it even more amusing if "Power Trip" is dropped 1 week in. :laugh:

I'm all for themes but they've taken it too far IMO.

[zakman440]

I think it was mainly people of the press - Ed Gleave from the Daily Star was there and someone else from OK magazine. I think there was someone from the Radio times as well.

[Jack_]

Wot?

Well bbspy seem to be tweeting from the house/about talking to senior producers from what I've heard, and that tweet Sam just posted is from a fansite account...so are they all in attendance at the media day?

[Jack_]

Hope that excitable OK! woman is back with a house tour :spin2:

Naah, I'm a huge fan of the house. The best on C5 and up there with my favourites. Another thing thats annoying is the screen inside the chair itself. The two beside it, fine, but the one inside it also serves no purpose other than to make the chair look techy.

[ruiphillips]

Thank god, I hate the idea of that thing they were gonna use.

Yep and it fails at techy and makes it tacky. We won't be able to see the screen when they're sat there anyway. :laugh:

The one who wore the daft hat? I'm surprised she can walk and talk at the same time. :laugh:

Don't come for her she found the secret room in bb13 before anyone.

[Marsh.]

She did no such thing. She pointed out the obvious.

Or a fire escape. :suspect:
