Love the studio idea - the crowd should have been dropped a long time ago as they no longer represent the viewers at home and they're not adding atmosphere if it's a bad atmosphere.

One of my favourite eviction set ups was for Celebrity Big Brother 2 which did something similar to what you suggest - the housemates were evicted via the garden door at the side of the house, leaving down a short walk way to the Big Brother theme. Davina then met them at the house gates and the studio (what would become the Big Mouth studio) was just across the road - so the crowd could still be heard in the distance, but didn't dominate the whole thing. Outside the studio they have their photo done (just how many photographers do the Daily Star send nowadays?) and were met by their family along with Davina, before making their way into the studio and down a walkway to the interview stage.
