I'll push for more information when I can, thanks
I had also heard it was just intended to be something you might compare to the BBUSA All-Star Season.
In that example a rather cool 'retrospective quiz task' had the garden (backyard) turned into a 'Grave Yard'.
HM's (Houseguests) laid in mock graves with mock headstones.

The idea was something along the line of 'burying the past' and this being 'former seasons'.
If anything it was quite comical and therapeutic.

I head BB UK might do a couple of these kinds of themes or look for little 'winks' like the BB eye 'closing' at the end.
it isn't a 'death theme' or a 'seasons theme of dying' or any of this depressing stuff.
Just a few clever nods or tasks or references with a 'closure' theme.

You have to keep in mind - from a marketing, selling, advert psychology view its impossible to 'invite people to see the death of BB'.
Unless it was the final episode,
but,
you can't attract people to something they perceive as 'dying or dead' when they get there for it.
