I guess. It would be different, BB12,13 and 14 have had big bedrooms. Would be a nice change and fit in with the power theme

Maybe the safe house could be the living room.

And then my modified layout:


Anybody else have any ideas?

What you've highlighted perfectly there for all the people moaning about the lack of change this year is if they did do something more substantial all they'd effectively be doing is dropping a layout they'd used for a year in favour of something which was used for a decade or so before that.

When you actually think about it this year C5 have moved the bedroom, bathroom and pool - and essentially that's the sort of thing C4 were doing most years anyway. They moved the odd wall here and there but often the changes made weren't as big as they appeared.

It's one of the few things C5 have got right IMO - I quite like all their house designs and like that they're not changing it for the sake of it, but also not keeping the same design year after year. The only thing I'd fault with the current layout is how the task room seems to take up half the house - personally I'd rather they put the bedroom back in the main house and then expanded the garden.

Of course it's only moving a couple of walls but channel 4 made more substantial changes where it felt like a completely different house rather than redecorating the same one.

But I don't mind the lack of layout change this year because the style of the house has changed so much. Unlike BB12 - 13 which felt like the same place with a lick of paint and some glitter.
