Channel 4 have, today, released the Big Brother 6 Press pack.. here's what they've said........

The Big Brother House
The new Big Brother house, which was created by House Designer Patrick Watson, has been designed to look aspirational
"The house has been totally redesigned, but it’s still as small as BB5 even though the feel of it will be completely different. We want it to look aspirational and sumptuous to the viewers, but for the housemates it will soon prove to be uncomfortable and claustrophobic."
"To viewers the house will look like the kind of place you’d love to live in, but to the housemates the things they initially liked about it will become the things they find the most oppressive. The house will feel very different to any previous house and more than ever this year there really is nowhere to hide."


The Big Brother Rules
There is no contact with the outside world.
Housemates are filmed 24 hours a day and must wear personal microphones at all times.
