I'd LOVE to see some pictures of the stands being deconstructed tbh. Still, exciting times lie ahead! :cheer2:

[Headie]

Yes get rid of the trash ASAP :clap1:

best day of my life

[reece(:]

It must be rusty by now.

[Jack_]

:cheer2: today is a great day

Is it still a good idea to begin construction on a new set if it's not been approved yet though?

Imagine if it gets rejected and the BB17 crowd are forced to boo from the car park instead :laugh:

I think that they're just getting rid of the old atm - I think that they're allowed to make preparations but I'm not too sure. Either way, at least the stands are finally going!

[Marsh.]

I think they're just dismantling the stands/stage. Even if the plan for the new stuff gets declined they can still replace the old stage which apparently needs to happen because they want one that's more suitable during bad weather.

i will believe it when i see it

:cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2: Cant wait for the new set and new house!!! Can't believe its going to be inside like BBUS BBAU BBCAN are!! Lets hope they keep The Orbit front (The Eye and the swoosh middle part) :D :cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::cheer2::c heer2::cheer2::cheer2:

[LukeB]

Is it going to be indoor like a BBAustralia/USA/CAN kind of thing?

[Cal.]

Yes :love:

I can't wait for the new set. The old one is so tired now.

[Glenn.]

I'll believe it when I see it tbh

[Denver]

I'll believed it when I see it imho

[Pete.]

As long as the stands are being culled I'm ecstatic

Inside is unlikely. The plans for the set don't show an inside audience area, it's outside.

[Cal.]

I hope Emma just does the interviews and possibly the eviction announcements from the inside set. I still want her presenting from outside with the crowd so we can see the evening light in the summer :flutter:

[Will.]

The warm up guy said it will be inside, but then I guess that's not the most reliable source.

Wouldn't believe him, he says the most stupid stuff all of the time

I didn't like that warm up guy! Do they still have the older guy? He was there at BB15 launch when I went.

I think his name is Paul, might be wrong.

I don't either, he annoyed me when I went.

[Will.]

The new eviction studio looks around the same size as the planned garden.

But it looks like the runway/housemate entrance comes out of the studio and is open.

[VanessaFeltz.]

I hope they remove the countdown as well..

[Will.]

I don't either, he annoyed me when I went.

Yeah he comes across as rude by the looks of thing, I didn't watch all last nights periscope video.

I liked the guy who was there when I went, I'd much prefer no warm up guy though.

[Jack_]

Didn't Ian Royce who does/did XF and BGT warm ups do Big Brother for a while?

I just re watched a few c4 evictions and I forgot how much better they were. Pls no stands or countdowns or music in this new set. :love:

[Busterowen2]

Oh okay thank you Jarrod! :)

[BBDodge]

Temporary stands getting put back into storage. Nothing new.

Hopefully the revamped house & set gets the go-ahead in time for the summer show.

[Jay28jay2]

I hope they remove the countdown as well..

I've grown to like the countdown tbh, I just hate all the alarms and sirens, you cant hear the audience booing or cheering. The music is ok but id prefer to hear audiences reactions despite them being usually disgusting

[Brekkie]

Much better not to here the idiots in the crowd - they just boo everyone anyway.

[Jack.]

Can't wait for May/June for the house pics

It is new - the stands never get removed between series. The outside set stands there throughout the year. They've all been there since 2011. The only things removed on the set are the large screen on the front of the House and all the lighting. The eye itself gets covered over in a protective screen and the rest of the stage including the stairs and catwalk are covered over to protect them from the weather as much as possible.

[Jack.]

Big blagger has tweeted a new plan picture showing that there is going to be stands on all four sides of the eviction space also we are getting a new catwalk aswell.
