Post images from the house here.

[Denver]

No

[JoshBB]

Can't make out if I love it or hate it from that tiny pic lmao

[DanielM787]

It looks like a holiday villa

[annabelindabee]

It looks like a holiday villa

Low budget Butlins style

[BBUKfan88]

It looks different, I wasn't expecting it to look like that. As someone else said it looks like a holiday villa

[LaLaLand]

Gonna go for a prediction here based on that pic, the little hints and the promo advert - tacky, motel vibe, kind of Palm Springs/Vegas but OTT.

[pontyboi]

Looks very summery don't see how it will work with civilian BB especially on Halloween lol.

[DanielM787]

I honestly hope to see some neon present in the house

[JoshBB]

Looks very summery don't see how it will work with civilian BB especially on Halloween lol.

Civilian BB will have a totally different theme anyway, according to paul osbourne

[MICHAEL G]

That’s Good, something different

[Jack_]

Hang on is it just me or does that look like some sort of outside room? :suspect: idk whether it's just an effect but above the canopy there's windows, kinda reminds me of the indoor pool from CBB4 but I doubt it'd be that

Would LOVE an outdoor lounge again

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dklz6gCXsAEMIx4.jpg:large

[Jack_]

It's probably just the main house lol but it jumped out at me

[Greg!]

I see what you mean! Think it could be an outside living room like they did for BB6

[thisisdanny]

I want a BB6 type lounge tbh

[thisisdanny]

I'm excited for the pics ngl

[Cal.]

This isn’t the actual one like mine?

[Marsh.]

Why did you copy off Cal?

[Cal.]

This is an absolute disgrace

[Jøsh]

1029503092059004929

[reece(:]

Cute

[Oaker]

The living area is it's own room again?!?

[Cal.]

A separate living room is iconic

[Smithy]

Love the living room is finally separate after 8?? Years :clap2:

[Glenn-C]

Closed off stairs SHOOK

[Jarrod]

So, a few pointers:

Stairs are closed off. The big blue door is the main entrance - the doors either side lead to the store room and a toilet.
Lounge is completely isolated in the garden on its own
There is one bedroom
Bathroom and Bedroom are linked together like back in Big Brother 7

There's more than what they've revealed to be seen.

[Oaker]

i'm really confused tho there's literally so many rooms and doors

[Glenn.]

I really like it

[Wizard.]

I love it but WHAT is that random tacky jacuzzi doing slap bang in the garden

[reece(:]

Closed off stairs :love: :love:

[Mec]

NOT endemol getting rid of cameramen so they could afford all those doors

[lewis111]

Oh wow I’m pleasantly surprised
A lot of good changes

[Cal.]

There’s 3 sitting rooms?

[Mokka]

I think they have been repainting the same tub for like 10 series now lol

[LaLaLand]

I actually love it

[Denver]

Amazing legit best house ever??

[Jarrod]

There’s 3 sitting rooms?

There's the main living area with the kitchen/dining room, the main lounge and then a pool room - the pink room which you see opens up onto the pool.

[Denver]

How many dining chairs???

[Headie]

So, a few pointers:

Stairs are closed off.

OMG :amazed:

Why did you lie to use the other day? :laugh:

[Greg!]

I LOVE IT OMG! Best house ever

[Jarrod]

OMG :amazed:

Why did you lie to use the other day? :laugh:

Because we were actually told that it wouldn't be happening. We only found out after!

[Oaker]

is it just me or is the bedroom tiny though

[Greg!]

Omg the evictee will be walking alone through the house again :love:

[Marsh.]

Growing on me.

New layout. :love: Finally.

[Greg!]

I'm so excited for this series now

[reece(:]

Omg the evictee will be walking alone through the house again :love:

We love BB6

[Jarrod]

is it just me or is the bedroom tiny though

It's pretty much like BB15 in terms of the size - the bathroom has a screen/wall to open it all up. The idea is that you can hear everything from the bathroom in the bedroom.

[LaLaLand]

I LOVE the neon signs around that door!

Guess I was right about my tacky motel in the desert prediction!

[Denver]

If the stairs are closed off does that mean the mystery housemate is a massive surprise??

[reece(:]

Where's the bathroom/bedrooms/DR?

[Marsh.]

Omg the evictee will be walking alone through the house again :love:

Perched for the housemates doing a conga line all the way to the front door whilst Marcus bellows over the tannoy.

[Withano]

[Denver]

Jarrod how many beds??? I wanna know the amount of housemates

[Greg!]

It's so weird that there aren't any mirrors

[Jarrod]

Where's the bathroom/bedrooms/DR?

Bedroom is in the same place as last year's Rose Cottage - bathroom is linked. Diary Room is back where it was for Timebomb

[Wizard.]

Omg the evictee will be walking alone through the house again :love:

Samantha Markle’s wheelchair to get stuck so she can’t be evicted?

[Jack_]

I don't like the decor at all (though the garden is AMAZING) but oh my god they actually closed off the stairs and changed the layout to something that's almost unrecognisable :o AND brought back the outside living room

I am SHOOK

[Greg!]

Oh there are mirrors actually :p but not as many

[Jarrod]

It's so weird that there aren't any mirrors

That'll be down to the new camera technique, I assume there was a thread on

[Jack_]

They finally listened omfg :cheer2:

[reece(:]

I don't get this closed off stairs obsession??
Because it's how the CLASSIC houses looked! SILLY GIRL.

[Glenn-C]

I'm glad that ugly semi-circle thing in the garden is finally gone. It's the lounge now

[Withano]

Love it

[annabelindabee]

too many different colours... It does though reminds of stormy... eg... its trys to be posh and certificated but really its a mess and all over the place... it looks likes a student coffee lounge, that's trying to pass for high class... but really its just got its furniture from a locale charitty shop... and its done cheaply

But hey I only have to see it 1 hour a day...

[Jack_]

Because it's how the CLASSIC houses looked! SILLY GIRL.

drag ha!

[Denver]

Can not wait for GMB Thursday morning for the house tour

[Jarrod]

This house is hiding a lot - it'll be revealed throughout the series.

[Headie]

Because we were actually told that it wouldn't be happening. We only found out after!

OMG :amazed:

Natalie, Charlie and Jayne hiding next door :love:

And it keeps out crowd noise/HMs looking out the doors!

[Morgan.]

[lewis111]

Assuming all the doors lead to other rooms and that’s the whole house inside the house thing and how Rylan got lost

[Oaker]

This house is hiding a lot - it'll be revealed throughout the series.

i'm guessing there's something secret in the place where the bathroom used to be considering that there's nothing there now? :laugh:

[Denver]

I only count 12 sleeping spaces secret bedroom incoming??

[Wizard.]

they should leave DR reveal until launch

[Marsh.]

I don't like the decor at all (though the garden is AMAZING) but oh my god they actually closed off the stairs and changed the layout to something that's almost unrecognisable :o AND brought back the outside living room

I am SHOOK

Yeah, I love that we have a new layout finally but it's the same overdone decoration, same pinks/blues/yellows, horrible wallpaper motifs and a garden that screams "WE WANT TO BE LOVE ISLAND!!!"

[T*]

the entrance hall is... a choice

[Jack_]

oop I forgot about the second house space, bin off the task room and let's have the House Next Door ha return :cheer2:

[T*]

With all the neon? Been told that’s the DR entrance but can’t be sure.

[Denver]

Do you know how many housemates or have they not said??

[Wizard.]

Yeah the decor is like when Primark try to do interiors and it’s all pink flamingos and copper lanterns

[Jarrod]

Do you know how many housemates or have they not said??

Not yet - it’s more than 12 though.

[Glenn-C]

Looks like it's all double beds in the bedroom. That'll be interesting :hehe:

i'm guessing there's something secret in the place where the bathroom used to be considering that there's nothing there now? :laugh:
I think where the bathroom was is now that room with all the pink sofas

[Denver]

Not yet - it’s more than 12 though.

Hopefully 16 as that means 3 surprise housemates

[Oaker]

Not yet - it’s more than 12 though.

Do you know where the Diary Room door is? I can't see it from the pictures :/

[Marsh.]

that same brushed copper ****e again too :/

:yuk:

[Jarrod]

Looks like it's all double beds in the bedroom. That'll be interesting :hehe:

Correct! The pool now runs up the side of it and the room has sliding doors to open it up into one big area

[T*]

With all the neon? Been told that’s the DR entrance but can’t be sure.

oh that’s better, would’ve been cute though if they did something like BB8 and have a glass door with all the neon signs going green for enter and red for exit bitbhave the neon shapes as they are

[Jarrod]

Do you know where the Diary Room door is? I can't see it from the pictures :/

It’s on the ground floor - but there’s no photo yet. It’s the same placement as in BB16, to the right of the living area (if you look towards the entrance stairs)

[Withano]

I couldnt see anybody post these pics?

[Denver]

I hope the separate living areas causes divides

[RileyH]

Omg it's GORGEOUS

[BBDodge]

is it just me or is the bedroom tiny though

Might encourage them to spend less time sitting in bed eating digestives.

[LaLaLand]

The mirrored circles in the walls are giving me CBB3 vibes when one turned out to be a tunnel to a secret room (Caprice I think did the task).

[reece(:]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DkmHnenWsAAtm3i?format=jpg

wot is this.

[Marsh.]

Remember when the mirrors were just.... there... on the wall.

Now they need massive metal framing around them. :umm2:

[Withano]

This is my favourite

Looks like it, it has the green ‘vacant’ eye light thing above the door

Edit, oh, i think its the door/emtrance way to the DR

[thisisdanny]

I think all those new visable white cameras would put me off, at least if they're behind the mirrors you can relax more i think idk

[Rob!]

I am SHOOK at the stairs being closed off and the separate living area omg :love:

Not my favourite decor wise but I do like it a lot. It’ll probably look amazing on screen.

[Eddie.]

Closed-off stairs :love: Lounge in garden :love: Almost completely different layout :love:

I really like it.. this house is one of the prettiest in years, except for the pink room which I assume is intentionally vomit-inducing.

Where is everyone getting "closed off stairs" from btw? I couldn't see that in the photos I found

[kingston]

Looks very summery don't see how it will work with civilian BB especially on Halloween lol.

There is a break between series to revamp the house for the civilian series...

[Jack_]

Not Paul Osborne reading all my rants and pleads and implementing ha

[Denver]

Stormy so deserved this house Queen

[supertv247]

Why haven’t they created a massive house with both of them yet

It’s what we deserve

It’s physically impossible, for some reason they decided to build a second house without thinking of how it could join in the future :shrug:

Unless they properly demolish the whole inside and rebuild, won’t happen any time soon

[Ross.]

Not us never seeing the housemates interact

Lady C to own her own half of the house so she doesn’t have to interact with anyone?

[DanielM787]

Do we all think this series could save it from the axe

[Cal.]

Lady C to own her own half of the house so she doesn’t have to interact with anyone?

Not her creating a shiv and shanking Jorgie Porter for entering her portion of the house

[Greg!]

Where's the bathroom/bedrooms/DR?

Do we all think this series could save it from the axe

There's a chance. But a very thin one. In an ideal world this series will be such a success that C5 will want to renew but C4 snatches it off ha like they did to the BBC with Bake Off.

But if we're being honest it will probs get axed lol.

[Scream]

Lady C to own her own half of the house so she doesn’t have to interact with anyone?

I am just getting images of Lady C sitting on her own sofa in her own BB house staring into the distance :laugh::laugh:

all early series fans will CREAM if there's no stairs at all

[pontyboi]

Civilian BB will have a totally different theme anyway, according to paul osbourne

Civilian BB airs like 3 days after CBB ends I don't see how they could completely change the house in such a short period.

Anyway there's aspects of the house I quite like but the bedroom looks like a granny's house with the usual unfashionable throws on the beds and simple arm chairs thrown into a corner like they do every year to fill space.

Where's the quirky style?

I do not want to look at a pink bedroom all summer it looks like the inside of a vagina.

The whole house is a mish mash isn't it...I mean every room seems different like the entrance to the diary room looks like a night club from NYC in the 80's (looks awesome) and then we have a living room fresh out of a 1970's family home.

[supertv247]

Last year’s CBB was more different from BBUK than EVER before... in a single day...

[pontyboi]

BB4 stairs were closed off and had those epic doors which opened to let housemates in and out....They may be my fav stairs tbh.

[Headie]

I might be being stupid but aren't the closed off stairs now where the bedrooms from last series were? So how would that work because surely the front door on the outside doesn't move, it's been in pretty much the same place since BB3 :laugh:

[Mitchell]

There’s definitely stairs, I’ve seen them, I’m glad they’re enclosed again

No, think of it as the kitchen from CBB21 is now opened up into the whole area, so like the house has shifted to the right, not the door to the left!

[Headie]

[Shaun]

Looks nice.

But... isn't it always just the same variation of latest trends in interior design? Just always looks like an advert for a soft furnishings company. Maybe I'm asking for too much but something surprising would be nice. BB9 being split into two halves, BB10 having no furniture, BB11 having a circus theme... just something creative instead of someone spending way too much on a catalogue :shrug:

[armand.kay]

Yeah I totally get what you mean bb4-11 all had a quirky and custom feel to them that you couldn't find in real life. We kind of got that back with bb14 and 13 with 17 being ok.

but yeah I do really like this house and I love that for once it actually feels small and less open planned.

[Moniqua]

The backyard looks like something off the set of Balamory lmao :joker:

[Natalie.]

Looks really tacky

[Jake.]

So, now that I’ve had a proper look at the pictures.. First off, the negatives:

The decor. I couldn’t agree with Shaun’s post more. Each series used to have its own identity. The spirals/twists in BB7 for example. Nowadays it looks like someone’s gone a bit crazy using Argos: Click & Collect. I wish that they’d have followed suit with regards to the garden (i.e. plain yellows and greys).

This isn’t really a negative, more of a personal preference: I wish that the door from the stairs didn’t open right onto the kitchen. Something like BB7/9/10 would have been nice.


However, after 8 or so years it’s so good to see a change of layout. They’ve done a fine enough job of swapping around rooms but this house actually looks different. I love the garden, the separate lounge is amazing and having the bathroom and bedroom connected again is great. The lack of mirrors doesn’t bother me, I think a more claustrophobic house will do good for the series in terms of natural drama (and it stops housemates looking at themselves every 10 seconds). The bedroom not having that same ****ing vanity area is great news too.

I’d give it an 8.5/10 for layout change alone.

[Calderyon]

It´s fine, i guess.

The garden looks good.

[Captain.Remy]

It does look REALLY good and put some effort into it. However though to reply to Shaun's comments, I understand the point about the furnishing aspect of it. From what I can see, they are making the houses more appealing to the masses and following the trend of many reality tv houses (don't worry, the ones in French shows look about the same) from shows that gather a lot of viewers. BB has to adapt to what other are doings too, and not alwauys the other way around like it used to be.

[Pete.]

I like it but just looks like a generic Ch5 era house that looks a little OTT

[Strictly Jake]

I like it but it does seem quite hard to look like a villa you would get abroad especially the garden which is ok because we dont have any other reality show set in a villa abroad

But yeah i do like it especially because of an outside living room amd closed off stairs! Ahhh

There seems to be a big buzz on this forum right now!

imo bb's desperation to adapt and be like other shows is where the shows gone wrong

[T*]

the garden is really nice and almost minimal like they used to be but yeah the house could’ve been done the same, it looks too catalogue-y instead of being unique and geometric like they used to be

garden looks quite nice, love the bar as well there :love:


but the bedrooms :umm2: what's up with the blue? is it trying to look like a house for the smurfs or something :laugh:


the light decorations quite nice, reminds me a bit of my Christmas decoration though :joker:

[elliebrew]

So, now that I’ve had a proper look at the pictures.. First off, the negatives:

The decor. I couldn’t agree with Shaun’s post more. Each series used to have its own identity. The spirals/twists in BB7 for example. Nowadays it looks like someone’s gone a bit crazy using Argos: Click & Collect. I wish that they’d have followed suit with regards to the garden (i.e. plain yellows and greys).

This isn’t really a negative, more of a personal preference: I wish that the door from the stairs didn’t open right onto the kitchen. Something like BB7/9/10 would have been nice.


However, after 8 or so years it’s so good to see a change of layout. They’ve done a fine enough job of swapping around rooms but this house actually looks different. I love the garden, the separate lounge is amazing and having the bathroom and bedroom connected again is great. The lack of mirrors doesn’t bother me, I think a more claustrophobic house will do good for the series in terms of natural drama (and it stops housemates looking at themselves every 10 seconds). The bedroom not having that same ****ing vanity area is great news too.

I’d give it an 8.5/10 for layout change alone.

They had a layout change in 2010 2011 2012 2014 2016 2018 and now this year. They're always changing the layout

They're hardly layout changes - just moving rooms or closing them off.

This is a proper layout change because the house is almost unrecognisable from the previous.

imo bb's desperation to adapt and be like other shows is where the shows gone wrong

A little is good, too much is not. They tried and sometimes (well, a lot of the times) it failed. But a house is a house, and where things went wrong is not only related to that (if at all related to the house).

Acrually C5 have changed the layout quite drastically a few times. Between powertrip and timebomb they completely rebuilt the inside - but annoyingly then placed everything roughly in the same place so it looked not much different lol

He means a complete structural change. Channel 5 have only done that once before.

I haven't seen a memory wall yet, not that I'm bothered

[DanielM787]

Have they taken away the housemate faces

[armand.kay]

I think it doesn't take much to work out that c5 probably don't get the same budget for the house that show would've got in its c4 days. So to expect a total layout change is just unreasonable imo. Tbh I think they've done pretty well at making the house seem as if its had a drastic layout change. compare the bb11 - 13 changes to 14-18. I mean they basically built a second house from the ground up for the bb17launch twist.

It looks like a holiday villa


Yes Compact Villa.



USA & UK trouble makers

Someone loves their cacti.

Thought it was pretty obvious what I meant but he can’t help himself I guess

Not sure if someone has already spoken about this but there not enough beds...

There are 8 but 4 of them are only single beds... so that should sleep 12 people not 14... I guess they will put another double in by the pink wall... or maybe they have to sleep in the pink room as those chairs looked more like beds

Jarrod already said that the house was set for the Hamsters and they will alter it for the housemates later

[Greg!]

Just realised there's no housemate wall this year for the first time since 2010!

no idea where he said that... but yes the hamsters needs to come first... then the housemates!

If I ever get in the house I will make it a secret mission to get big brother to say the words "all hail holly hamster"

‘Holly Hamster’ a future BB Legend

‘Holly Hamster’ a future BB Legend

No... But what would make me a legend is asking big brother to go on a date with me... I'm asexual so don't fancy males or females but what I do love is fictional characters... That's what BB is... I would love to go on a date with a speaker phone... That sound soo cool! I wonder what BB parents are like?
