Big Brother House: The Balcony

This year, Big Brother has installed a second floor. The second floor holds a secret room which can only be accessed by four Housemates at a time - more on that later.

The Balcony is accessed via the posh glass stairs and once the Housemates are up there, they can relax and sit down on some of Big Brother's comfy lounge chairs, or play a game of pool with the others. There is also a very large monkey statue..

You have to pitch this idea to Channel 5 as it is AWESOME.

[Jarrod]

Thank you! Means a lot to hear!

Big Brother House: The Garden

Big Brother's new compound has allowed the garden to take a completely new shape and size. While it hasn't grown to a huge size, it is still a decent area with lots of space for the Housemates to sit down and relax in the sun. Big Brother's garden consists of a wooden theme this year with light wood panels on the walls and a blue tinted wooden frame. The floor has white planks and astroturf.

The garden begins with a black sofa area where the Housemates can sit and chat, while some of them can lounge around on the sun loungers provided around Big Brother's plunge pool. Of course, there is also a toilet outside for the Housemates.

In the centre of the garden is a seating area for the Housemates to sit and chat, while behind them is the smoking area. The smoking area is a green sofa with an ashtray bin - this is the only place the Housemates are permitted to smoke.

Big Brother House: The Bedroom/Bathroom

The Big Brother House is without a doubt one of the biggest ever - however the Housemates will be disappointed when they see the size of the bedroom and the bathroom they'll have to suffer with throughout their stay in the House.



The Bathroom is a small dark room with four sinks for the Housemates to wash, a bathtub and a large shower which is big enough for two Housemates at a time. Big Brother has provided two chairs for Housemates to sit and use to talk or keep other Housemates company as they wash.







The Bedroom of this years House takes on a comfortable luxury theme. The calming colours and large plants make this bedroom a more relaxing area than seen in recent houses. The beds are all double beds, which means Housemates will have to share. There are two comfy chairs for Housemates, as well as storage units for the Housemates clothes and then under bed draws.








Still to come:
Big Brother's Nominations Room
The Diary Room
Celebrity Big Brother Changes

Plus, Big Brother will reveal his biggest launch night twist - Big Brother's Double House.

[Sam:)]

Its all brilliant so far jarrod, Bedroom is probably my favourite one you've done.

[Mrbigbrother]

Brilliant!

[Jarrod]

Thank you! I'll reveal the launch twist later on today.

The Big Brother VIlla

On Launch Night, 12 new Housemates will move into the main Big Brother House. On Day 2, there will be a second live show where four Housemates move into a secret next door house, named the Big Brother Villa. While the name might suggest a luxurious life, they aren't going to get any special treatment - maybe worse. Let us take a look at the Villa before we look at the twist itself.

The villa is mainly a smaller scale Big Brother House with a lot of the same wall coverings and furniture, with small differences. The living and kitchen area features the screen wall, a kitchen area and a circular dining area for the four Housemates to sit. The Housemates in both Houses will be sharing one Diary Room.







The Bedroom and Bathroom are a little less luxurious. As you can see, it is all open plan. The Bathroom area is in the same room as the bedroom for all to see! I said it wasn't going to be a luxury stay.







The villa also has its own small yard with a plunge pool and decking chairs.







Now, the four Housemates that move into the villa will be secret to the other Housemates. As they enter on Day 2, the Housemates will discover that they are a secret house and will have to keep their secret. These Housemates will not be 100% Housemates and will have to earn their stay in the main House.

As this twist will run from Day 3 (The first full day) up until Day 7 (The fifth day) there should be two, two day long tasks. The first between Day 3 and 4, and the next between Day 5 and 6. This means that two Housemates will move into the main House.

This leaves two remaining Housemates. On Day 7, the first main House eviction will take place and the Housemate will be evicted. There will also be a vote for which one of the two remaining Housemates should move into the House. Once the result is revealed, the Housemate with the most votes will move into the main House, with the other being evicted. They will be told to keep the secret House a secret, as it will come into play further into the series.

That's just a silly idea I had really - and I just wanted to make another house. I'll reveal the CBB changes and the Diary Room soon.

[Josiah.]

Nice 2nd House twist.

[Shaun]

the villa's design

[Will.]

TBH I love secret house twists and the villa is a great idea! The Safe House was amazing because it was part of the house and not the task room done up. I dont like it when they use the task room as a secret room.

[Glenn.]

Love it

[Jarrod]

Thank you all!

The Big Brother House: The Nominations Room

Upstairs, the balcony has a door that leads to a secret unique room that Big Brother plans to use. This is the Big Brother Nominations Room. If Housemates want to access this room, they need to press the Diary Room button outside the door,

The Nominations Room is an area where Housemates can freely discuss their nominations but only four Housemates are able to enter at a time. Housemates while in this room can discuss why they'd like to nominate a certain Housemate and look at the Housemates board. The Housemates can only spend 15 minutes in this room per day.

Celebrity Big Brother House - Part 1

Celebrity Big Brother will return in January of 2016, with another exciting series. The series would last 31 days. The Big Brother House has a small transformation ready for the new celebrity Housemates, with a few new additions and new carpets.

The Celebrity Big Brother House is the same as the summer in size. First, the living area has had a fresh carpet with a few splashes of red here and there to give the Housemates the feeling of their celebrity status.

Living Area:




Big Brother's sofa area has had a slight face-lift ready for the new Housemates, The white wooden planks from the summer have been replaced with a nicer looking wood floor, with a circular red rug between the sofas. The lamp above the sofas is now also red.
Sofas:




The kitchen has also had some work, It is the same as the summer however the space theme has been replaced with a winter theme and the islands are now glowing a light red, with a lighter wooden background behind the units. Big Brother has also spoiled the celebrity housemates as he has installed a corridor running from the bedroom to the kitchen, to stop them having to go out in the cold.
Kitchen:




The balcony has also had some work done with new carpets, a new seating area and the monkey has been removed. The nominations room remains for the celebrity series.
Balcony:




One of the new additions to the Celebrity Big Brother House is the gym. Big Brother has added a small city-themed gym to the living area.
Gym:




More later!

One of the best houses here in ages - adding a second floor quite literally takes BB houses up to another level and I think here in the UK they've got a bit too obsessed with the small cramped design, though to be the house design is one of the things C5 has arguably improved upon, though I'd definately restore an entrance lobby of some sort and not really a fan of their bedrooms.

Re: the Secret Villa. One of the best secret house twists I've seen is in Secret Story (France) and I think it would work well here. Essentially 4 people move into the Secret House on launch night, then one of them moves into the main house and has to keep the Secret House a secret (the premise of Secret Story is all HMs have a secret). That HM then "walked" a week in and two replacements (from the secret house) moved in, then ultimately all 4 of them. There are numerous ways it could be done but I wouldn't go to the effort of creating a second house for it to be used for just 4 days.

I quite like the idea of some sort of Purgatory in Big Brother - basically send evicted HMs there rather than straight to the outside and effectively have a two stage eviction process - firstly from the house and then from purgatory. Ultimately one person in purgatory would return to the main house.
