A shame about the stands but I always expected them to re-appear tbh. I'll see whether I can lift the lid off these plans like I did with the other ones (it may take a while).

[Jason.]

I hope it looks good. Idk why but the way I'm picturing it in my head, it looks quite messy and ugly.

[Cal.]

I'm hoping if that's the case it isn't done on launch night. That's too big a twist to rush.

[Cal.]

i was thinking the second house could be like an immune house/safe house where people are voted to be immune from noms and live there for the week but then they wouldn't need an exit door from it

[Cal.]

I don't want to speculate too much about the second building though as come house pictures it could just be a gym and a task room.

Building more spare rooms for the inevitable celebrity illnesses/breakdowns a la CBB17?

I don't know how to embed tweets but Big Blagger tweeted:

"Stairs leading to the new extension are labelled as "Task Access" so it looks like the main entrance will still be the current".

I've decided to wait until June (or probably May) rather than try and make sense of these

Tragic if they waste the fancy new double storey build on their woeful tasks and annual secret eviction

I have a feeling it's going to look really complicated and be a bit of a mess

I hope not. With the amount of time we've been waiting for an exterior overhaul, I don't want to be saying "I preferred the old one tbh" come summer time

[Cal.]

I just pray on launch night when we're given an overheard shot there's just Emma standing there with tense music and not showgirls/sound effects/Marcus shrieking.

[zakman440]

(If anyone was interested the same document has the plans for the BB12 house in it):

[Cal.]

So does task access mean the extension is the task room?

[Jason.]

But yeah I love how we criticize the current set we've had for 5 years on C5 for being too different from the C4 BB6/7/9/10 one but in reality, these changes will just make it look even more different

tbh I really liked the current set at first, they just kept it for too long without changing it.

I did too. And I agree, they should've changed it in 2013 for Secrets and Lies tbh, when Emma took over to fit in with the whole brand new host, brand new format, brand new house/exterior thing. That would've been nice to add to the hype of BB14.

[Oaker]

Why would they have a staircase to the task room though

[Cal.]

I don't think I could ever be tired of the BB6/7/9/10 exterior

Same.

I loved how they would change it slightly each year without being too drastic (like adding the two wings in the BB7 circular stage) and adding a crowd-level red carpet during CBB to make it more upmarket.

[Oaker]

Just a thought but I assume that they're keeping the eye where they introduce the Housemates since the eviction studio is in the exact same place as the current one?

Bye I thought they were gonna move it further away from the crowd so they didn't interfere anymore

(is it bad I'm not really looking forwards to it anymore when you think about it too much)

tbf it's only the eviction set, it's not like it's going to make or break the series

Hmm true, but it's the only thing keeping me excited for BB17 tbh.

Quite sad really how the exterior set is the thing making me look forwards to a series, when 10 years ago they'd make mini changes yearly that would go unnoticed.
