Soooo disappointed with the house!

[telefan]

Is anyone else REALLLLLLY disappointed with the house this year...I mean BB is so obvious, I know I previously speculated that they may combine different elements from houses of previous series to this years house BUT MY GOD I never would have thought they would have kept the SAME stairs/diary room setup. I'm bored of this house already. They need to get rid of Patrick Watson and I've said it EVERY series since BB7, his houses are TOO wacky and get VERY tiresome after a couple of weeks. Get Markus Blee (BB1 - BB4 Houses) back to do the house designs...thats what I say!!

[BIG-BRO-FAN]

We've only seen three pictures which don't reveal much. The house is probably lovely.

[Matt]

It's not the fact that they've kept the same stair/Diary Room set-up that bothers me - it's a great place for the Diary Room, secluded from the main house, and there was hardly any changes to the stairs between BB6, 7 and 8.

What bothers me is how it looks. You'd be forgiven for thinking it was the entrance to the BBUSA house. It would look much better with some pink and purple neon lighting going down the sides.

[andyman]

With what i've seen it looks cheap, too cheap! Ask Salv how good the Italian BB looked..

Maybe the BB house changes during their stay, hence the eye moving in parts..

[Tom]

There is a tardis in the main room (tying in with sci fi theme etc), I think the actual house is through there

[bigbrother301]

SOME PEOPLE JUST SO HARD TO PLEASE.

Totally agree Matt, I'm sure that around the egdes of the paint down the stairs, there is a DAYDOE RAIL?! I spelt that wrong I guess, but come on?! It's a mess.

I want to literally LOVE the house, and this is the first time I just don't - its like an empty shell, not finished. The grey carpet is horrendus and I hate the fact theres no imagination, the shape of the house has literally been the same for 3 years now, straight up and down into the garden.

Not like BB7 when the whole house was at an angle, nothing we'd seen before, a completely different shaped house.

I don't HATE the house, I just dislike it..

LOL even Lee Evans of you Josh

[DigitalSid]

To be honest, from what we've seen I hate it too.

The garden's too dinky, the house layout seems to be the same as last year with a few rooms removed and as usual it's all a bit tacky.

I do like that they've seemingly done away with odd and pointless quirks such as the bathroom in the lounge, the inside out, an ashtray to sit in etcetera that Patrick Watson goes out of his way to incorporate. However it remains to be seen whether they haven't just hidden them in other rooms or if there are any other saving graces.

Let's hope the rest of the house lives up to the ads and hints.

It does look as though with the living room supposedly the other end of the garden this year, that empty space is just there as a foyer with the doors on either side leading too rooms.

So I think we should wait before we get ourselves worked up about it. Tuesday we'll see the rest.

Perhaps it's so small because there's two houses, perhaps those curved walls are symmetrical either side but with a wall between them.

[Robo]

i hate the entrance, i really do. :(

[Sticks]

I have not seen any of the pictures, where are they? :blush:

[jkp44]

guys i think there is way more to this house than meets the eye so just wait for launch when hopefully everything will be revealed!

[markmarc]

i really like the house it looks very basic i dont see why they need a luxury house every year after all its not a holiday :dance:

[Spike]

I like the house and the direction its taken this year
Very different to previous years and i'm sure its a grower

[monkeyking87]

I think we should all wait til the launch to bitch and complain. It may be a dissapointment to some of you but its a new theme one we certainly havent had before.

The diary room works well away from the rest of the house so Im not gonna bitch that the havent moved the DR out into the garden!!

[Lewis.]

I think that was an unfinished picture

[BBDodge]

These are only teasers of the staircase (new lick of paint only), entrance lobby/living room/whatever and the garden from a different angle than the aerial photos, which has just added fuel to the where-is-the-pool argument.

There's a whole lot more of that House to be seen before judgement can truly be made. Bedroom, bathroom, Diary room, kitchen, task room, secret room - we don't really know what else is in there and where yet.

[telefan]

The pool is underneath the BLUE decking in the garden, by the looks of things they're trying to hide it from the housemates...think BB2 jacuzzi....hmm...

I do love the curvy wall features in the foyer but thats about it....hate the garden!

[WoopieGeorge]

The pictures arnt fully to how the house will be on launch as its not finnished, but from wht ive seen, i lov it, specialy the garden :)

[Patrick]

"Like the BB1-BB4 Houses, thats what I say"
Know what I Say?

I say you need to stop living in the past of the crap houses and move on to these good ones!
Just because you want a boring house like BBUSA Dont mean we all do!
You`ve seen 3 pictures of the house...
One of the garden
One Of The GOOD Entrance
and One unfinished Living area!
Do you accually think there going to have a house with no sofas?

NO

[Marsh.]

Why is everyone complaining about the entrance? Didn't they keep the same indoor staircase for BB6, BB7 and BB8 but with a different wall decoration. Honestly, it's not life and death it's a STAIRCASE!

Finally someone talks sense about this. Can't believe people are so moaning when they didn't for BB7 and 8.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. In my opinion the newer houses are the worse ones.

And judging by the entrance it seems they've already taken design cues from BBUSA.

It doesn't look like BB USA at all ? I don't know where you're getting this from to be honest. None of the US entrances had pink walls nor insects on the wall.

So, as soon as they use certain colours or patterns they're 'copying from BBUSA' there's only a certain number of original ideas that's completely different to everything. Hence why everyone is comparing the main area to star trek.

OMG! Its NOTHING to do with the colors dont you get it? The stairs looks like BBUSA cause its so BLAND in general. Nothing to do with the colours. Theres no fancy neon lighting as on previous years, theres a HORRIBLE dado rail going down the stairs and a plain old grey carpet...its SO boring...

[Captain.Remy]

Telefan, you don't need to be that aggressive, there is a way to get your point accross.

The stairs are less bland than last year's. And it is about the colours and it has nothing to do with BB USA unless I watched the wrong show for the last 5 years.

[andybigbro]

I dont like that theres no seats lol. it looks bare.

Hopefully they just havent been delivered yet.

And i think when we see the whole house we will like it more.. or grow to like it haha

I'm not saying that you're mentioning colours, i was using them as an example, that just because they've gone down a certain design route doesn't mean that they thought 'I know let's copy from -----(whatever)'
But to be honest a plain stair rail, plain carpet is the least of Big Brother's worries ESPECIALLY since it's only the entrance area rather than where they are going to spend hours on end.
And i preferred the simple entrances such as when BB6 just had stairs with some lighting along the walls instead of the elaborate OTT decoration, IMO.

One. I dont like being told I said something when I didnt

Two. Im not saying they copied ANYTHING from any of the BBUSA houses what Im saying is that the picture we got last night of the staircase is SO boring and bland it looks LIKE something that WOULD be seen on BBUSA. Im not saying BBUK copied ANYTHING. Clear enough?

[telefan]

Basically, I just think that evictions are the highlight of the 'Big Brother Week'. They are the core piece behind the whole concept of the show. So much effort is put into producing each eviction show; fancy sets, davina, crowds etc. The actual eviction of a housemate is quite significant and the stairs/exit can be seen as an additional piece to the eviction set. Why make it look so bland?

You weren't clear enough in your post then. So we both agree, the house has nothing to do with BB USA. Jeez !

And for the 'one' paragraph, I don't have anything to do with it so don't get attitudish with me right ? I appreciate.

And I also can tell you not to be aggressive for no reason, whether it has something to do with me or not.

Yes, its good to have a stylish/modern/funky/colourful house like BB4, 6 & 8 every once in a while, but its about time BB stopped thinking about how the house looks like from a front-of-a-designer-house-mag point of view and moved onto a BB5 generation of house. I wouldnt reallly call it a house, but from the looks of it this compound is going to give good TV. For me its wacky and unusual over ultra sleek design for the house- and this one delivers it well! :D

Only bad point - the stairs. Yeah, they do look tacky and cheap. If anything they should have at least kept the eye print from BB9 and lit it up blue/pink instead of red like last year over the DR entrance.

[JohnnyBB]

im not keen on the stairs but what can you do there skint ?!

[krayZ]

I dont see whats wrong with keeping the old stairs and DR location. The DR is great in that position.

When you said on the title how your disapointed with the house if you wanted to talk so much crap about the staircase then change the title of the thread to "im so dissapointed with the entrance"

[Ethan.k]

I love the house so far from 3 pics!!!

theres a credit crucnh on this year and I thik that so much people are missing that firstly, we have seen the credit crucnh hit BB already by the live ffed cut, the BBBM slash in shows to just 1 per week and I think that theres nothing wrong with the stairs, to rebilud and re design the stairs would cost quite abit and that money is needed to put into tasks and other features of the house and series overall.

yes, the houses are getting madder every year but Its big brother, "mad, exciting DIFFERNT" if people want it to tone down and be a boring house then watch a boring show like NEWSNIGHT:bored:

I just cant wait to see what else will be reveiled in terms of the rest of the look of the house, the housemates and the twists etc but people who "HATE" the house I personally think thats so exagerated from 3 pics...:spin2::shocked:

Try not and use all-caps in your posts as it is less easy to read.
