Would you like to see the cars return?

[Will.]

I would love for them return, get rid of the eye and eviction studio and maybe incorporate an eye when HM walk into the house and move the eviction studio to the opposite side.


And then make the catwalk longer and have the cars!

Think it makes it much more exciting and adds something to the launch!

[Jarrod]

No, the cars are long gone. Channel 5's set up at the moment is good. All I want them to change within the next year is the stairs. The rest I actually like.

[Daniel.]

Yes it's trash

[Jamesy]

The cars don't bother me. The only things I want to see changed with the exterior is all the stands removed and the staircase changed. The eviction studio/big eye are fine to stay. Those stands annoy me the most, it makes everything look tiny and cramped. Would be better to see everyone on ground level. Then just to cover up the fence perimeter they could add some printed graphics behind the audience.

The only problem is now though is that behind the stands there's nothing. Before you had that grass mound that made the House and the live set look enclosed naturally, now you have a massive construction site that a new studio is going to be built on. If you get rid of the stands it will look even worse than with the stands.

New eviction studio?

[BigBrotherGuy100]

No.

[Daniel.]

Perhaps next year when they don't spend as much on renovating the house they'll spend money on the exterior

[Jarrod]

The exterior is contracted to stay until the end of 2017.

[Jarrod]

New eviction studio?

No, Elstree are building a new sound stage.

[TomC]

Yes definitely! Much preferred the channel 4 set up with long, ground-level walkway, the cars, no music. It was much more atmospheric.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

i want them to ride in on horses

Big Brother 17: Equestrian Trip

[Rob!]

It would be nice for nostalgia purposes but let's be honest, in the long run does it really matter? It doesn't effect the series as a whole.

[Strictly Jake]

I don't mind the housemates walking out of the eye but I would like there to be no music so they can hear the crowd reactions and I would like Emma to narrate about the housemates when they walk down the runway instead of doing a interview with them. Also when they get evicted there shouldn't be music so they can hear the crowd and there should be music for the best bits, like actual songs used, like the good old days. I don't think the cars add to any atmosphere so I don't mind them not using them

[T*]

Yes
The current one is tacky as ****

[mrmattybeck1]

Nope not needed now not the force it used to be either

[reece(:]

They need to ditch the tacky eye it's tired now.

[mrmattybeck1]

Love the rotating bridge

[Denver]

Why cars? Id use riot vans straight from busht fields

[Lostie!]

The current format doesn't bother me exactly, but I do miss the days of the cars and no music, just Davina reading information about the housemate.

[Jason.]

Love the rotating bridge

I despise that.
What's the purpose of it?

What happens when the housemate walks fast, and is standing at the top waiting for it to fully rotate, so they can through the doors.

I hope it breaks.

Believe its had a paint job

[Jason.]

I don't mind the eye stage. But, they need a change in exterior.

Change the stairs. Get rid of the stands, and have the crowd filled where the stands are, and get rid of the stands in front of the house, and project some graphics and coloured lighting which goes well with the series. Like how BB7 had yellow lighting projected on the house, which fitted well with the eye.

Little things like that.

Honestly those stands are massive, and they don't even fit that much people in them.
Probably about 100 people on the stands combined.

They could get a lot of space without the stands, and they don't even need to use all of it.

[zakman440]

I agree that the stands need to be ditched, it makes the whole thing look so tiny. Personally, I'd like to see them build a separate studio in the workshop opposite the house (it used to host Big Mouth, now it hosts the control room iirc) and have an eye stage similar to BBAU's in 2013 (pictured below). I'd also like the stairs to be straightened and the walkway to have screens on them, similar to the BRIT awards this year.

I thought that mound was still there.

Behind the stands, there's a lot of space being used for the scaffolding which hold the stands up, and the stairs leading up the stands.
Honestly, it looks a mess.

Even without the mound, they can fence it off, and/or add walls with graphics behind the crowd.

I remember in BB7, there was a mini black wall behind Davina, facing the house which had the eye imprinted on it.

They could have one of those that go all round the perimeter.

[little.lilly]

Yes! Seeing them step out of the cars and landing straight in the middle of the crowd was amazing. Standing behind the eye and listening to the last of their VT's and the crowds reactions could possibly influence the way they behave in the house.

[Maxxie.]

No thanks, the cars are dated now. I remember in BB11 where the new housemates were going in via "spacecraft" & Davina said the cars were so last decade. Which is actually a great point now, as no housemate has entered with a car since 2009. I wouldn't mind a complete different way of entering the house though, I remember when people thought the BB house was moving & it was apparently gonna be near docks & housemates wers gonna enter by boats. There's still something about this on tibb somewhere.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. Some kind of wall/fence around the perimeter with graphics behind the crowds, hiding the mess that's around the BB compound.

The exterior is contracted to stay until the end of 2017.

Does that include everything as in the stands and stairs layout? Or are only certain parts of the exterior contracted to stay?

[Cal.]

I'd like the stands to go and it to be all on ground level - like other's have said.

[Will.]

I'd hope we they change the catwalk to what the Brits 2015 had with like a screen

[Jason.]

I don't get that.

Picture?

[Jarrod]

Practically, it won't be possible. What the BRITS had was a glass screen, and it was flat. The eye catwalk slopes downwards towards the circle podium which would be an absolute death trap once it rained and the females wearing heels. It's quite a steep slope too.

Ah yes, the Big Brother 9 move that never happened.

[ruiphillips]

Yes. Get rid of the daft music and cat walk.

[VanessaFeltz.]

Rebuild something like bb11 house, that was literally the best house ever and crowd was HUGE.

Now how many people that crowd has in total like 100?

They have 300 now

That kind of open stage would be awful alongside the booing mob.

[LukeB]

They need to do something like a make the audience bit larger so we have a big crowd.

[VanessaFeltz.]

They have 300 now

that is way more than i thought

do you know how many did bb11 have?

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I would love to see the cars return

[Jarrod]

They have 300 now

It's more than 300. It's more around 500-700.

[Will.]

It's more than 300. It's more around 500-700.

When I went to CBB final last year they said the maximum is 300, as we got the 300th ticket.

When I went for BB14 they told me 500, so they must have reduced numbers. Unless they have different numbers for summer/winter. Mind you, they had people behind the large crane camera when I was at the eviction, which they don't do now.

Yeah, CBB15 final, could be different in Winter-Summer.
