Ratings were dropping so I would imagine they were more money conscious. That said, you don’t need heaps of money to make the house look good… it was the fact that it was so disjointed.

It was almost like they did the sci-fi theme but then realised how bland and colourless it looked, so they added bright colours which just didn’t go with the theme. Then you had the shipping container bathroom which didn’t lend itself to the theme. If the whole house had been more industrial it would have made sense. The bedroom and the kitchen had the whole wood chip thing going on.

They should have stuck to the sci-fi theme, or opted for a more industrial look. Piecing them together just looked odd.

I didn’t mind the staircase being the same. BB6/7/8 were basically just the same basic set of stairs redecorated and the double entrance was probably an expensive build. But it would have been much better if it was decorated more in keeping with the eviction interview set that year - dark walls with neon purple lighting.
