My only gripe is that the 'theme' and color scheme is so similar to last year. I feel like they could've done something a bit different, without totally redesigning the house.

Yeah it's more or less the same, with added paint splash and squiggly stuff to make our eyes go funny( not a fan of that bit). I still like the house in general...but I agree the colour and layout had such potential to try something new . Maybe even another area like a hut or snug or treehouse hideaway type thing.

They could have had an entire new theme ,instead of just a little maze & paint splash. In the past ...every house, especially in the channel 4 days looked entirely like a new house & vibe, but oh well.
